We do not charge any fee for our time spent evaluating your possible medical malpractice claim. That’s right, no attorney’s fee despite the fact that we often spend considerable time carefully your reviewing records and the applicable medical literature. We usually request that our client’s obtain complete copies of the medical records for our review but if we are required to obtain the records for you we do not charge for our time in doing so but we do ask that we be reimbursed for the copying costs we are charged by the medical provider. Of course, the medical records are yours to keep.

In the event that our initial review of the records suggests that you might have a viable malpractice case, we will sit down with you to discuss the next steps in evaluating your case. Usually this involves a review by one or more experts who will be asked to render an opinion regarding whether or not your medical providers complied with the applicable standard of care. The costs of obtaining expert evaluation will be discussed with you and an agreement reached on whether those costs will be advanced by you or by our firm on your behalf. Those decisions are made on a case-by-case basis depending upon many factors including your own personal finances, the type of case, the anticipated expert’s cost, etc.
