Mark is very helpful and professional in handling all of my legal matters and I would highly recommend him and his firm. Mark and his team demonstrated time and time again their commitment to me and my family over their own personal interests. He is a credit to the legal profession.

My wife needed a lower back spinal fusion that should have been relatively straightforward. She was seriously injured by a careless doctor incorrectly performing a non-traditional back surgery that she did not have the skill to perform. It left her with a paralyzed right leg and a drastic impact on the quality of our lives. We contacted Yonker-Hyde-McFarlane to represent us in a medical malpractice suit. OMG, these guys are so impressive! Ashton and his team uncovered things about the surgery that we had no idea had happened. His skills arguing our case to an arbitration panel were extraordinary. We very highly recommend Ashton and his fantastic team of legal experts!!

In consulting with Mr Austin over the course of several years, I have come to rely upon his vast knowledge and expertise within the tobacco, kratom, CBD & vape industry to ensure our businesses (smoke shops in Utah and Texas) are consistently compliant with the ever changing federal and state regulations. I have constantly received only the wisest counsel from Mr Austin and am not only impressed with his willingness and diligence to research information in depth but also to relay this information in clear and concise layman's terms.
Mr Austin is always extremely professional, very caring, and highly determined in providing all possible scenarios so that I, as a busy businesswoman, can make the best decisions possible in daily business operations. No matter what situation I have required his assistance for, as my businesses grow and face a myriad of challenges, I find that Mr Austin consistently and very competently has navigated me through even the roughest situations with sound reason and advice. For these reasons, I have referred other business owners to Mr Austin without hesitation, because I know they will be in caring, responsible hands.

Paul and his firm, Villari, Brandes & Giannone have been exemplary in handling our class action suite against TVA and the ash spill in Kingston, TN. Their tenacity and expertise resulted in a positive outcome for our family. Paul was in constant communication with us over the past five years; we were always kept up to speed on the progress of the case. I would highly recommend Paul and his firm.

Catherine Dickinson and Michael Belsky were an absolute pleasure to work with. SBWD Law represented me in a complicated personal injury case where there were a lot of moving pieces. Catherine and Mike were always professional, compassionate, responsive, personable and considerate in every move they made towards me and/or my behalf. They allowed me the space to be vulnerable but also know that I can rely on their professionalism. Most importantly, I would recommend them because they are genuinely good people who care about their clients which is a rare find in today's world. I consider them like family and encourage anyone who can use their services to reach out.

Greenblatt & Veliev were invaluable in helping me through a difficult time.
After I was involved in an accident and suffered injuries, I didn’t know what to do. Lonnie and Elnur walked me through the process and made it easy. From the very start I knew I was in good hands. They were very prompt, responding to my emails and phone calls. I also consider them to be highly ethical and trustworthy. Thank you very much for all your help!

Though I am an attorney, I asked Chuck to represent me in a personal injury matter last year (I practice a very different kind of law, I figured I would get a PI pro to handle my case). He was a powerful negotiator and the matter was resolved quickly, with the results far exceeding my expectations. In addition to being a great attorney, he is also a great person. Consider Chuck for your PI needs.

I was extremely impressed by Tom Sheridan (as well as the other attorneys in the firm) because they were genuinely passionate and were extremely good at explaining things in terms I could understand.
I never felt like "just another client." They were responsive and always willing to talk to me.

Great experience and extremely professional and knowledgeable company and staff. Mr George, Mr Mack, and Ms Kelly were very dedicated and focused on my case and made me feel that it was of the up most importance to them. Truly went all out for me. Mr Mack and Mr George even kept in contact with me on their days off to ensure that I was comfortable and fully aware of everything going on. The front desk secretary was even very polite and welcoming and made me feel at home. Would definitely recommend this company and all of its staff for any of your legal needs.

Robert Rockwell, Sr. Now, where to start
I had the pleasure of working with his father during a divorce decree on my behalf. I had the pleasure of watching this little blonde hair with bunches of curls. He stayed very close to him that he sat at a table with a WV STATE CODE BOOK. He started argument with his mother on a daily basis. I have saw this very small young toddler to grow into something that is definitely his calling and take up where his father was stripped of his beautiful career by a airplane crash, too soon in this child's life. I KNEW THAT ROCKWELL IS GOING TO MAKE A GREAT attorney FOR WHATEVER YOU MAY BE NEEDED FOR. I HAVE GOTTEN BUT GREAT REVIEWS about Rocky,: You cannot find someone who is better!

I hired this attorney to represent me in a slip and fall case. It turned out to be a huge mistake. We were offered $100K to settle but my attorneys recommended we go to trial. We were seeking over $4M. We lost the case and now I’m going to get $0. On top of that I have over $500K in medical expenses that I am now liable for and I’m concerned that I might have to pay additional legal fees. These attorneys give bad advice and are not competent in the courtroom.

Chuck worked on a workers compensation case for me and is currently working on a medical malpractice case.
As far as the WC case is concerned, I went through two attorneys prior, and he inherited an inherently difficult case. Chuck went about it with such professionalism and diligence and hashed it out so I received a fair settlement. Would highly recommend. Advocates for his client!

Mr. Jugo has been my attorney on several cases since 1988. When I met Mr. Jugo, I was involved in an automobile accident when I was 18 years old. I had never hired an attorney and I did not know what to do about hiring an attorney ; however, my father recommended Mr. Jugo. Although we lived in Palm Beach County Florida, we choose to use an attorney out of Miami, Florida because Mr. Jugo was highly recommended by my father's girl friend. My case settled over 27 years ago and I still receive Christmas cards each year faithfully. Also, whenever I was in the need of legal advise, he was always one phone call away. There has never been a time where I could not contact Mr. Jugo or his staff. To date, I was involved in another accident and you better believe, I contact Mr. Jugo. He will always be me and my family personal injury attorney because he has always look out for his clients best interest. Thank you Mr. Jugo and Staff for your professional courtesy and loyalty to me and my family.

Mr. Franzetti was a wonderful attorney. He explained exactly what to expect with my case, answered all my questions, and made this whole process easy for me.
This was my first time hiring an attorney, so I was nervous, but Anthony was so friendly and easy to talk to that after hiring him, I never stressed about my case at all.

Andrew did a great job for my case. He got a very good outcome for me despite a somewhat uncooperative prosecutor. He was very good at translating the legal quagmire into an understandable discussion. He was also sympathetic my particular situation, and amenable to my expectations. We were able to get the prosecutor to drop the charges by agreeing to a set of unobtrusive probation requirements. Everything went more smoothly than I was anticipating.

Through every step of the litigation process, attorney Chaundre White was utterly professional, compassionate, and thorough. She was both effective and efficient, and immediately put me at ease knowing my case was in her hands. Ms. White provided phenomenal advise catered to my specific situation, immediately demonstrating her clear breadth of legal expertise. I cannot recommend her enough.

My eighteen year old daughter went from being a healthy college athlete to suffering a massive stroke, paralysis, brain damage and multiple heart surgeries as a result of malpractice. She was hospitalized for over two months and had an extremely lengthy rehabilitation and recovery period. We hired Charles Moore in 2013 on the recommendation of a relative who is an attorney. I wasn't even aware of the firm he worked for at the time. To be perfectly honest, I probably would not have contacted that firm because I was of the opinion that large firms provide less personal service and I needed to look the person who would represent us in the eye to get an idea of the type of person they were. My daughter had been through enough already and I needed to know that the attorney representing her would be someone she could relate to and someone who would be patient and understanding with her. Mr. Moore made himself available to us for all questions large and small at any given time. There was never a time I called him when he didn't answer personally. I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never been in this kind of situation before. He was very easy to communicate with and explained each step of the process clearly and thoroughly. While preparing her case for trial he was persistent and thorough. Her case was a complicated one and it required expert medical opinions and the review of volumes of records as well as depositions from numerous people. Throughout it all we were kept up to date and well informed.
Mr. Moore is friendly and personable but nothing to be trifled with when it comes time for mediation or trial. Fortunately we were able to reach a settlement without going to trial. The opposing counsel told me afterwards that if it weren't for him we would not have fared as well at mediation and I sincerely believe that. The fact that he was not afraid to go to trial if we had to made a big difference. Although I didn't want to put my daughter through a trial, she will have ongoing medical needs for the rest of her life and has lost things that she will never get back. It was important to me that she not have to worry about how to pay for her future medical care and that she be at least somewhat compensated for her loss.
I pray that I will never need a malpractice attorney again in my life but if I do, Chad Moore will be who I call. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was truly a blessing to my family and we owe him so much. He is more than a competent attorney, he is a kind and genuine person who I am glad to have met.

I have litigated several cases against Mr. Meltz over the years and Chuck is one f the most professional and brightest attorneys with whom I have ever had the pleasure of litigating. Mr. Meltz has consistently put the best interests of his clients above his own financial interests time and time again. While many insurance defense attorneys generate paperwork designed primarily to bill the client, I have never seen Chuck Meltz file anything or send me anything that was not designed to do anything but flush out facts and issues helpful to the defense of the case. Not only is he a true professional, he is extremely smart in the handling the defense of litigation brought against his clients. I cannot recommend Mr. Meltz highly enough. A smart lawyer knows when to pick his fights and when to maintain professional decorum, and as I said, Chuck Meltz is a very smart lawyer.

Attorney David Hoey help me and our family through a very difficult time, as my mother was poorly cared for and mistreated at her nursing home, a place we had trusted. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work he did. I can now put my mother peacefully to rest. Attorney Hoey is a wonderful person and should be proud of the profession he is in. I would recommend Attorney Hoey to anyone in need of a nursing home attorney.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
