Combining his medical experience and legal abilities enables Fadi to be a powerful advocate for injured consumers and their families.

Prior to joining Terrell Hogan, Fadi was practicing at Cole, Scott & Kissane, one of Florida’s largest defense firms, where he focused on medical malpractice, nursing home, and catastrophic injury defense.

Fadi earned his Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law where he received four CALI Excellence for the Future Awards for being the highest scoring student in four classes and was on the Dean’s Honor List three times. He also earned a Certificate in International and Comparative Law. He is a 1994 graduate of Yerevan State Medical Institute in Yerevan, Armenia, where he trained as a medical doctor, and then practiced general surgery.

Medical Malpractice

I spoke with the paralegal Joseph B. Jones and he was able to answer many questions that I had regarding to my case and direct me into the right track. However, they didn't accept my case because of the conflict of interest.

"Why wouldn't you have your Medical Malpractice Claim reviewed by a Medical Doctor who also is one of Florida's Top Litigators? I worked with Attorney Chakour at a Civil Defense Firm prior to his decision to move to the "good side" where he is able to help clients who have suffered from medical negligence. He showed me all those years ago that he was driven to use his experiences to help others. He gained his medical license and knows the medicine behind most malpractice claims. He then learned defense strategies and experience defending nursing homes and medical providers so that he could see how insurance companies value these difficult claims. Now he utilizes his previous experience to help those truly in need. If you are looking for one of the best Medical Malpractice Attorneys in the State...Call Attorney Chakour."
