Medical Malpractice 50%

When doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malprac

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Empathetic, compassionate, determined and diligent. The best lawyer ever.

From my initial call attorney Frischman was compassionate and empathetic about my injury. He met me at a location of my convenience. Covid set us back however,, throughout my case he always updated me with legal information and counseled me with legal advice. He returned my emails, calls or texts p...romptly at various times, nights, weekends or even when he was on vacation. Makes you feel like you really matter. He fought for me to get the best settlement even when I was ready to give up. I am very satisfied with the end result. I would recommend him and use him again. Best service I have ever recieved. If it would have been appropriate to do so, I would have given him a huge hug for helping me greatly with this settlement.

Craig is the best......

Craig Frischman, Esquire of Frischman & Rizza, P.C., was referred to me by a friend regarding a slip and fall incident. She praised his conscientiousness, attitude, attentiveness and ability to handle an accident which affected my health. Needless to say, I cannot list the platitudes for Mr. Frisch...man. His professionalism, patience, knowledge and willingness to listen to me was very calming during an upsetting time in my life. He explained the possibilities that may occur in terms I could understand & made me feel comfortable in his presence. He was able to meet my expectations and a settlement was agreed on. I highly recommend Mr. Frischman and know he can meet your expectations during your time of need. I am ever grateful.

Excellent Attorney, Compassionate Human Being

Craig and his team are excellent. I am also a paralegal on the defense side and we hired Craig to help with my dad's case. Not only did Craig's team recover money for my dad, but it was more than we expected. Craig actually handled the case very expeditiously too. I was very impressed with Cr...aig's compassion, professionalism, and knowledge of the law. My mom and I cannot thank Craig and his team enough for everything they did for us. My dad passed away about two months after the incident and Craig was very compassionate and kept checking on us to see how we were doing. I cannot recommend Craig enough. He is an excellent attorney and a wonderful human being. If you need an attorney look no further than Craig and his team.

Incredible help with malpractice

I worked most closely with Craig, which I'm grateful for. He handled my case with sensitivity, empathy, professionalism, and a deep commitment to helping my family. Especially for dealing with malpractice, I can't recommend any firm more. They diligently reviewed all the evidence, obtained expert wit...ness testimony, and consulted with us about the best course of action.

Excellent Law Firm

My life was turned upside down by a medical mistake. I didn't know where to turn, but then a friend suggested I call Frischman & Rizza. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. These guys immediately went to work for me. They are so easy to work with, always answered my calls and made me... feel as though I was their only client. When the first expert they contacted was unwilling to help, they didn't stop. Instead, they kept fighting for me. Within a year of filing my lawsuit, even with COVID, they were able to obtain a settlement that has provided my family with financial security. I am a big fan and can't thanks this firm enough for what it has done for me and my family.
