Medical malpractice cases are complex and emotionally challenging. By its very definition, medical malpractice has caused you or a loved one injury or death, due to a healthcare professional’s act of neglect or omission. We know you aren’t just suffering physically, but have lost trust in those we should trust most. Let us help you choose a medical malpractice attorney who you feel safe with and who has the experience and resources necessary to win your case.
If you are in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and seeking legal representation for a medical malpractice case, here are the most important factors to consider when choosing a medical malpractice attorney:
Experience
Look for an attorney who has significant experience handling medical malpractice cases. You want someone who has a proven track record of success in representing clients in cases similar to yours. Ask about their experience with cases involving your specific medical issue, as well as their success rate and the types of settlements or verdicts they have obtained for their clients.
You want medical malpractice lawyers who have an established local network of physicians who can review the case and provide much needed supporting testimony. Our firm’s experience has built a complex network of doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff who are ready and willing to conduct a full review of your individual case.

You want an attorney who’ll keep you informed throughout the legal process and who will take the time to explain the details of your case in ways you can understand. After all, not everyone speaks legalese.
Availability
Choose a medical malpractice attorney who will be available to you when you need them. Find out how easy it is to schedule appointments, and whether the attorney will be available to take your calls or respond to your emails in a timely manner. Our knowledgeable team is available by Live Chat 24/7.
Fees
Discuss fees with potential attorneys upfront so that there are no surprises later on. Some attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Others may charge an hourly rate or a flat fee. Make sure you understand how the attorney will charge you and what expenses you will be responsible for.
Personal Rapport
Finally, choose an attorney with whom you feel comfortable working. You’ll be sharing personal and sometimes sensitive information with your attorney, so it’s important that you trust them and feel at ease discussing your case with them.
Choosing the right medical malpractice attorney requires careful consideration of several important factors. Take the time to research potential attorneys, schedule consultations, and ask questions to ensure that you find an attorney who has the experience, reputation, specialization, communication skills, availability, and personal rapport to handle your case effectively.
