Attorney Shezad Malik - WARNING!

Malik is both an attorney and a doctor and ardently pursued my mother's case against DePuy regarding her failed hip implant and now, many months later, and just days before the Texas statute of limitation runs out, dropped mom's case. There is something very malevolent here that needs to be exposed.... My mother is a victim of a DePuy hip implant failure. I tried to get DePuy to compensate mom but they refused. Beginning August 2012 I started a search for an attorney. A Seattle law firm informed me that Malik's law firm handles these DePuy cases. To make a long story short, mom signed on with Malik. Many months later after the contract was signed and emails and paper work transpired, he sent an email (June 27, 2013) saying he was dropping mom's case. “Our law firm was asked to look into your potential Hip Injury claim. Unfortunately, your claim does not meet our criteria for case acceptance.” January 10, 2013 his law firm sent this: We would be more that [sic] happy to pursue this case for you and your mother. There is not much work on the client end except for signing some paper work. Also, we are able to fill out any fact sheets over the phone in order to minimize your work as the client. However, this case will probably take approximately 3 years to reach settlement, so you will have to patient. We will do everything in our power to handle the case as quickly as possible. And January 23, 2013 this: We have all the records and can see that this is a good case and we would like to take care of it for you as best we can. Please let me know if this helps. I just want to make sure that you know your mother will still receive a settlement and she won't have to turn all of the money over to the insurance company. Thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Shezad Malik is Simply Brilliant

I have had an opportunity to work with Dr. Shezad Malik on some complicated medical malpractice and wrongful death cases as well as defective drug cases. Dr. Malik brings his years of experience as a top rated cardiologist along with his passion for justice as a trial lawyer to the table. He is pre...pared, thorough and very generous. I recommend Dr. Malik without hesitation to any victim who needs competent legal representation for an injury as well as an attorney who can use his expertise in analyzing cases.

"Shezad Malik is a true double threat. Few lawyers I know possess the amount of medical and legal knowledge and experience of Dr. Malik. He spent the first part of his professional life practicing cardiology at some of our Nation's premier hospitals. Upon graduating law school, Dr. Malik began applying his comprehensive knowledge of medicine to helping injured patients and their families obtain justice against careless doctors and hospitals. Suing a doctor can be a very daunting task for most lawyers. However, Dr. Malik levels the playing field. I have worked with Dr. Malik in cases in Florida, Louisiana and Texas on cases involving medical malpractice and pharmaceuticals class actions such as Yaz, Avandia and De Puy Hips. I trust him, respect him and genuinely like him. I endorse him without reservation."
