I had left Atlantic Health after being an employed physician. I was named in a Medical malpractice case for care that occurred when I was an Atlantic Health employee. I decided to ask for my own attorney, which was my right. Mr Brown “represented” me in a malpractice case, but it really seemed as though he was really representing Atlantic Health (co-defendant) not me. He often represents Atlantic Health, and in retrospect I think he cared more about preserving that relationship than acting in my best interests. I could have paid for my own independent lawyer, but Mr Brown talked me out of that.
Another doctor gave a deposition in the case, and I never received a copy of the deposition.
Mr Brown did not make every effort to secure an expert to defend me. He did not follow through on all of the leads I gave him for experts, and he never even sent my records to an expert for a formal review. Instead he got a “sidewalk consult” from an expert who apparently told mr brown that the case wasn’t defendable. I have no way to verify that. When the time came for my deposition, Atlantic decided to settle rather than allow me to defend myself.
In retrospect, I wish I had paid for my own independent lawyer. I think Mr Brown was conflicted- and that he never really represented me.
He responded with hostility when I tried to push for my own deposition, and when I tried to get him to formally hire an expert to defend me (presumably because doing so would have cost Atlantic $)
If you have a choice, don’t pick this lawyer
