Was is it really Medical Malpractice?

I was referred to Lauren by a mutual friend who is also a lawyer - because of her specialty. Unfortunately, I was involved in a medical situation that went undiagnosed by the same doctor for over seven years. Although not life threatening, the situation turned out to be life altering. Before I could ...put it all behind me, I needed to answer the question of whether the original doctor should have any financial responsibility for the situation. Lauren did a thorough review and ultimately recommended that I not pursue legal action. Through it all, she was respectful, responsive, and realistic. She clearly and accurately explained all out of pocket expenses related to multiple request for records. She helped me understand that the medical system and the legal system can view the same situation very differently - as wrong as that may seem. She made a difficult situation as pleasant as possible. I recommend her without reservation.

Bright, talented, and impressive

I recently hired Lauren to serve as my legal representative in a complex medical malpractice case. Although I was initially anxious about this process I was immediately impressed and put at ease by Lauren's knowledge, demeanor, and overall professionalism. I had numerous meetings and interacti...ons with her and she was consistently on top of things; she came very well-prepared and understood the intricacies of my case. Many times she seemed to possess a better understanding than my own concerning the medical complexities of this case and the overall implications to my health. She put together a solid and effective overall strategy for the prosecution of my case and she was very organized and smart in maintaining its integrity and momentum. In depositions she was fair but firm with medical practitioners and was very adept in obtaining any and all necessary information. I have no doubt that Lauren's expertise in planning and implementing my case led to it being successfully settled out of court. Lauren is bright, talented, and impressive. Her skills and expertise gave me confidence and quickly put me at ease during a stressful situation; I've always felt quite fortunate that she represented me. If I'm ever in a position to again require legal representation I would not hesitate to hire Lauren.
