Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides substandard care that results in harm to the patient. This can include errors such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, or improper treatment. If you believe you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice, contact our firm to discuss your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury or medical malpractice claim?
The time limit to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on the type of case and the state in which it occurred. It’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that you don’t miss any deadlines for filing your claim.
What compensation can I receive in a personal injury or medical malpractice case?
Compensation in personal injury or medical malpractice cases can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The specific amount will depend on the details of your case. Our attorneys can help you understand what you may be entitled to and will fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

Do you have a fee schedule for different type of cases?
We charge hourly fees for most work we do, based on the experience level of the attorney involved. We bill paralegal time at a lower rate per hour. For criminal and traffic cases we generally charge a flat fee, which is a one time fee. We require all of our clients to sign a Retainer Agreement for any fees charged and we also provide an email policy statement.
