Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
We assisted a family discover medical mistakes that led to the death of their mother/wife. The patient went to a hospital for a routine procedure. During the procedure, a mistake was made. The surgeon that caused the injury attempted to cover his tracks by transferring the patient to a hospital floor rather than the post-surgical floor. A few days after the surgery was performed, the patient began to show signs of infection, but they were ignored. Unfortunately, 2 weeks after the surgery, the patient died. We conducted a thorough investigation and determined that the hospital and the doctor were both negligent. Using our 50 years of combined experience, we were able to secure a settlement in excess of a million dollars.
How did you build a successful practice?
Our practice has grown through word of mouth and our consistent attention to the clients needs. Each case is different and we remain involved in all stages of the process.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
A proven track record of results. While no attorney can be 100% successful, it is important that they show commitment to the case and arent looking for a quick buck. Also, make sure the areas where the attorney practices is relevant to your issue. If an attorney primarily focuses upon divorce cases, a personal injury claim may be beyond their experience, which can have significant impact on the client's case resolution.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
It is important to know the local judges, the opposing counsel, the jury makeup and also how similar cases have resolved in the recent past. A national law firm will not have this important information in determining the appropriate route to take with the client's case.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
We discuss the facts of the case and can determine whether it is worthwhile to accept the case for handling. If the client has a viable case, we will schedule a time to meet with the client and go over the procedures and what to expect while their case or claim is pending.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
We need the names of the potential defendants and the facts of the case. Dates are important, so make sure you have them written down.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
We have the track record and experience to get positive results for our clients
