    While I have no idea of how "good" this case may be, even if it is "documented by 3 dental specialist doctors," as you say, why would this not have been done sooner? You do seem to understand the process but I think it will be awfully tough to get someone to take over this at such a late date. I hope I am wrong for your sake, but I fear I am not.

    In an event, just to clarify, I am not interested in this case and I do not represent you. This office will take no action on your behalf and no attorney client relationship is formed.

    I do advise that you make every effort to find a lawyer to file a lawsuit on your behalf as soon as possible.

    I wish you good luck.

    Answered August 02, 2012 14:01. I don't know any lawyer who would take a case a week before the statute of limitations is up, especially without an expert report. However, you can search Avvo's "find a lawyer" for malpractice lawyers and be prepared to call a few. I would suggest that you offer a large retainer fee to entice someone. Good luck.
