We Offer Competitive Contingency Fee Representation

We believe that everyone should have access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.

We offer competitive sliding scale contingency fee representation for medical malpractice claims, which means:

  • you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case
  • the earlier your case settles, the less you pay in legal fees, and
  • if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything, not even disbursements

Given the cost and complexity of medical malpractice litigation, only select matters will be offered contingency fee agreements.
