MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE FOR A CONSULTATION?

A: Consultations are always FREE.

Q: DO I HAVE A GOOD CASE?

A: Evaluation of any malpractice case is complex. Although an initial consultation may suggest that a case has merit, pertinent medical records must be obtained and reviewed. Only an experienced malpractice attorney has the skills to decide whether a particular case merits prosecution.

Q: HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A CASE?

A: The statute of limitations varies on the circumstances of each case. It can be as little as 6 months or as long as several years. Only an experienced malpractice attorney can evaluate this issue. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after you or a loved one is injured.

Q: HOW MUCH ARE YOUR ATTORNEY'S FEES?

A: Cases are accepted on a contingency fee basis -- you only pay fees if and when your case is successfully concluded. Fees are governed by State Law and are calculated on a sliding scale based upon the total recovery.

Q: DO ALL MALPRACTICE CASES GO TO A JURY TRIAL?

A: No. The majority of cases are settled. Many cases, if not settled, are resolved through binding arbitration. Many HMO's, doctors, and hospitals have binding arbitration clauses in their contracts with you or your employer.
