Posted by Dej | July 08, 2025 | Medical Malpractice

Tone-deaf and Unempathetic

I reached out to Robert Jenner’s firm seeking legal guidance and support after experiencing what I believe to be serious medical misconduct during childbirth, an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time. Unfortunately, my experience with this firm left me feeling dismissed and disappointed. Rather ...than approaching my case with empathy or curiosity, I received a response that seemed to minimize the severity of what occurred. The reply conveyed that unless my injuries were visible, catastrophic, or life-ending, my experience wasn’t worth pursuing legally, despite it involving non-consensual physical contact during labor, a deeply personal and human rights-based violation. While I understand the legal thresholds for malpractice cases are high, I expected more than a transactional, checkbox-based approach to such a sensitive issue. To add to the discouragement, I was advised to “lose the AI-generated email,” a comment that felt tone-deaf and beside the point. I wasn’t looking for a critique of my writing style. I was looking for advocacy, support, or at the very least, acknowledgment that what happened deserved better than a quick dismissal. I hope this firm reflects more deeply on how it communicates with people who reach out in moments of pain and vulnerability. Legal merit is one thing. Respect and compassion are another.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are deeply sorry that our response left you feeling dismissed and unsupported. We strive to be direct in our guidance to ensure transparency about legal options, but in doing so here, we fell below our standards of empathy and care. After our initial communication, where I informed you that we could not be of service, you followed up with a request for more details to assist you with your efforts in finding another lawyer. Our response, therefore, was geared to do just that. Yet, while legal viability is one aspect of our assessment, communicating with compassion is equally important, and we apologize that you felt this was lacking in our response. To assist you in your search for another lawyer, as you requested, we have provided you with the benefit of our experience: personal notes are often more effective than those generated by AI. Personal emails uniformly provide a clearer sense of the unique voice, emotions, and story. This can help us better understand the human experience behind the facts, ensuring we respond with the empathy and support each individual deserves. We again apologize for the negative experience, and wish you the best moving forward.

No help at all!

The paralegal seemed to care about my concerns. I spoke with this person 2 times. I was told they would be in contact. I waited a week and a half. Nothing. When I called back to inquire I was forwarded to an attorney, who exactly-I’m not sure. But this individual was rude and demeaning. He stat...ed that I had already been contacted by the para and told they couldn’t help. ???!!! NO, I WASNT! This lawyer treated me exactly like the doctor who my issue is with and then suggested that I was lying about being contacted! Wow!

Tara, I’m sorry you believe that you were not treated professionally. Certainly, we try very hard to make sure every prospective client gets the attention he or she deserves. Fortunately, in our firm, we record every contact made with a client. We believe we gave you that attention here. Our case management system shows that you contacted us on June 12 with questions about a potential case. That same day, within 8 minutes, in fact, we called you back and left a voice mail message saying we could not represent you for your concerns. You called back that afternoon asking for more information about why we could not represent you. Fourteen minutes later we called you back and gave you additional insight as to our rationale. On June 21, nine days later, you called us again asking for a status update on your case. That afternoon, we spoke with you again, advising that, as we previously told you, we could not assist you. On June 29, you called again. You spoke with a partner of the firm, who reiterated – again – that we could not assist you with your case. Thus, rather than ignore your concerns, our records demonstrate that we treated you promptly and with respect. We wish you the best in your efforts to find counsel.

The lawyer's lawyer

Rob Jenner and his firm are the model for caring, compassionate, and effective lawyers. He has the credentials of a fantastic lawyer: he is a past-president of the Maryland Association for Justice (MAJ), the state-level association for lawyers representing injured victims; he is also heavily involved... on the national level with the American Association for Justice (AAJ). His abilities span the breadth of the best injury lawyers: he can represent people in garden variety automobile collisions, and in multi-state litigation against the most powerful pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps most importantly, Rob is a listener. Especially for clients, Rob will make sure that he hears you, understands you, and that your voice will be heard. I have worked with him on many cases over the years, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

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.
