He goes the extra mile

Paul came to my house to talk with me. That wouldn't seem odd, except for the fact that I lived in Silver Spring, Maryland and he drove from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was very kind to me, considering the circumstances. I felt then, and still do, that he would do his absolute best for me, becaus...e he understood.

Medical malpractice lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"Case after case, Paul Lagnese gets great results for his clients. I have watched Paul, time and again, take a case that did not look promising at the outset and turn it into a substantial monetary award for his client. How does he do this? First, Paul is very smart. But smarts alone are never enough to succeed as a trial lawyer. What sets Paul apart as a plaintiff's medical malpractice lawyer are his lawyering instincts and his courage to stand by what he believes. His instincts consistently lead him to see the very best way to handle a case, or a situation within a case; and his remarkable courage enables him to go up against the very best defense lawyers and win, time and again. Alongside Joshua Berger, Esquire, I would place Paul Lagnese at the top of the list of lawyers I have had the privilege of working with."

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.
