Patrick A Malone

Excerpt from the Mission Statement on our web site: "We represent regular Americans and their families – people whose lives have been broken by terrible injuries and death, events that should not have happened. We seek justice in the courts for our clients against wrongdoers of all kinds: corporations, hospitals, the government, and individuals. ... We see our job as not just winning money for our clients, but helping them gain answers to the big questions of what happened and why."
