PROFESSIONAL
MALPRACTICE
Bar2


          Sometimes the licensed professionals with whom you trust your greatest needs turn out to be a great disappointment. Whether that person is your physician, your attorney, or your architect, the resulting losses can be devastating. 

The greatest hurdle in proving a professional negligence case is finding a qualified, credible expert witness to review the case and testify on your behalf. This can be expensive. A physician testifying for an injured patient in a medical malpractice suit may charge as much as $15,000 by the conclusion of the trial. An attorney testifying in a legal malpractice case would not charge much less.

         If your case has merit, our firm will accept a contingent fee for its services, between one-third and forty percent if there is a recovery and no fee if the case is lost. The legal client is responsible only for payment of out of pocket expenses, such as expert witnesses, filing fees, court reporters, service of process, etc. We will often do an initial evaluation of the case for no charge.  Sometimes with a strong suit the firm will advance a share of the out-of-pocket expenses to keep the case moving, subject to reimbursement at settlement.

If you feel you need a medical malpractice or legal malpractice attorney give our office a call.
