Since 1984, the Firm has built one of the largest Plaintiffs’ medical malpractice firms in the area. It has been recognized nationally and regionally, with more than 80 awards and honors for the firm and its lawyers. Its solid foundation includes Founding Partner and Chairman, Jonathan Schochor, Managing Partner Kerry Staton and longtime Partners Jonathan Goldberg and James D. Cardea, who continue our time-honored tradition of exemplary legal representation and service to the community. With offices in Maryland and Washington D.C., the Firm’s resources include a team of full-time medical investigators and professional relationships with hundreds of Board-Certified medical experts throughout the United States.
Schochor, Staton, Goldberg and Cardea, P.A. has been designated with the highest rating afforded by Martindale-Hubbell, and is listed in the Bar Register for Preeminent Lawyers. These ratings, granted by peers and judges, are awarded only to firms that consistently provide service that adheres to the highest ethical standards and demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the law. Many partners have also been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America.
Over the lifetime of the firm, we have filed more medical negligence cases than any other lawyer or law firm in Maryland, and we've recovered over $500 million dollars on behalf of our clients. Our lawyers also share their knowledge and experience lecturing and teaching locally and nationally to members of both the legal and medical professions regarding medical malpractice and medical negligence.
But what we're most proud of is the impact we have made for our clients. The work we do eases the burden on victims of medical negligence, helps them restore their quality of life, and allows them to move on with their lives.
We have offices in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Our lawyers are licensed to practice law in Maryland and the District of Columbia, and they have been specially admitted on a case-by-case basis by courts in Florida, Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina and West Virginia. On special motion and with approval of courts elsewhere, our lawyers are available to participate in cases throughout the United States.
