Hospital Negligence

I met with Attorney Rachel Abbott concerning injuries a family member sustained while a patient at a local hospital. Although Ms. Abbott told me that I did not have a case, she took the time to explain to my "why". Even though I was not going to be a client, Ms. Abbott took the time and answered ay... question I had. I was confident with the information Ms. Abbott provided to me and as a result, our family had peace of mind and was able to put this matter to rest. I felt at ease speaking with Ms. Abbott. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about the law, she is genuinely caring and sympathetic. I would definitely contact Attorney Abbott should I have any legal needs in the future. I have no doubt I would be in good hands.

Thank you for your review. Medical Negligence cases are extremely complicated and expensive to pursue. I am glad you had a positive experience with our firm even though we were unable to help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
