Information useful; but very complicated case.
Mr. Bower did give me information that is helpful; although given how complicated the case is, his best advice was to get a lawyer who was well versed in medical diagnosis / treatment cases.

Last person I would go to.
I asked a question. Gave some information NOT ALL OF IT* in the first message. Replied with “ no injury no case get a d&c” didn’t ask any questions just making assumptions. There is an injury. After the d&c.

Replied last September 29, 2021Inquirer posted incomplete facts, apparently deliberately, and now is angry that the accurate response did not constemplate the facts that were left out.

Mark R. Bower's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Mark and I worked at the same high profile firm in the '90's. Even then, Mark enjoyed a reputation as one of the very best medical malpractice practitioners in the State of New York. Since then Mark has only succeeded in enhancing and burnishing his reputation, as well as taking it to other jurisdictions. Mark is respectfully known as "the Professor" by many of his colleagues owing to his encyclopedic knowledge of his areas of concentration. If you have a medical malpractice case, I can think of no better lawyer to consult than Mark Bower."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Truly Excellent Lawyer. Well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
