Bruce Gary Fagel's Lawyer Endorsements
"Bruce Fagel is the most knowledgeable medical malpractice attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. One of the reasons he has such a strong track record winning cases for his clients is his strong medical background. In addition to practicing medical malpractice law for 30 years, he is also a licensed medical doctor who practiced emergency room medicine for over 10 years. This is a very rare combination to find an attorney who is also a licensed doctor."
"Dr. Fagel is commonly recognized as the top plaintiffs' medical malpractice trial lawyer in California. He consistently obtains the highest settlements and verdicts for his clients. Dr. Fagel's preparation, diligence and knowledge set him apart from the rest. Every case is handled and prepared as though it is going to trial. He has obtained over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for the firm's clients."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bruce Fagel for nearly 30 years. He is one of the finest lawyers in the legal field. If you retain him to represent you in a medical malpractice case, you will have the strongest fighter on your side. If you are an attorney representing the defendant, he will be your strongest adversary."
"I give my highest endorsement for Dr. Bruce Fagel. If your goal is to retain an attorney who understands medical malpractice law, Dr. Fagel is your choice. Medical malpractice is all he does. Combine that with being a licensed physician and you have an unbeatable combination for obtaining the largest verdict or settlement possible in a medical malpractice case."

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.
Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2001
updated on 01/20/2016This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.
Bruce’s comment:
“The discipline involved an incident which occurred over 10 years ago involving one parent accepting a settlement offer on behalf of their child without consulting the other parent who did not speak English and could not attend the settlement hearing. The court later approved the settlement for the child over the mother’s objection.”
