Malpractice Attorneys NY

Many of the clients who come to our NY attorneys with malpractice claims are already extremely knowledgeable about medical issues. Some are even doctors themselves. They have been standing up for their own rights all their lives, and it might be natural to ask why they need an attorney to represent them.

No matter how great your own medical knowledge or investigative skills, you may unintentionally damage your own case by acting on your own behalf or trying to represent yourself. An experienced attorney can assess your case and help you decide if it is worthwhile to pursue legal action. Once you engage a NY attorney to represent you, you lock in the responsibilities of the doctors and hospital staff to protect your medical records.

Thorough and Detailed Preparation by a NY Malpractice Attorney

Attorney Jeffrey J. Shapiro prepares fully for every malpractice action he files, with the expectation that it will go to trial before a jury. He locks up the best medical experts available in the applicable medical specialty area to testify on his client's behalf. He prepares unassailable evidence of malpractice under the NY laws. Then, using the NY discovery laws to your advantage, he shows enough of his cards to make the defendant aware of the gravity of the case.

Frequently, this thorough and detailed representation and preparation causes NY malpractice defendants and their criminal defense attorneys to realize they are outgunned. Should this occur, your attorney will come to you with the defendant's offer in settlement and render the objective advice you need to make an informed strategic decision. Contact Jeffrey J.
