Patrick L Block

Patrick represented me in a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of my daughter. After having spoken with and dealt with many other attorneys that would not take the case or who I didn't want to work with, I decided to stop trying. I went a long while without attempting to find an attorney which w...as the easiest thing for me to do. This of course left me with a perpetual sense of guilt. I felt I was not doing the right thing for the memory of my daughter or for future patients that might suffer a similar catastrophic outcome as a result of this medical group's carelessness. My brother found Patrick Block and continuously urged me to contact him but I kept putting it off. Finally about two weeks before the statute of limitation ran out I began to feel a sense of urgency. I didn't want to carry the guilt of quiet resignation for the rest of my life. I met with Patrick, Karli, and Dana after sending them my information. I immediately found them very easy to talk to. I answered a lot of questions that day and shortly thereafter Patrick filed the lawsuit just before the end of the statute of limitation. He bought us time and in that time Patrick, Karli, and Dana built a detailed profile of my daughter's life from birth to death. They knew her well. At the same time they were building a legal case calling for and studying all medical records, securing medical experts, and preparing for a multitude of depositions, one in Philadelphia. Due to this group's coordinated efforts, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail, I never saw Patrick surprised. He was well prepared. Patrick and team kept me informed as the case progressed and my thoughts and input were always given high priority. They were very good about explaining legal technicalities and limitations when I didn't understand things. After about a year and a half I settled the lawsuit in mediation. Patrick was willing to take the case to trial, but the details of the settlement were agreeable to me and I felt I had accomplished as much or more than I could at trial. Medical malpractice is what Patrick Block does. He doesn't dabble in other areas of the law as many malpractice attorneys do. His work demonstrates his high level of competence in this very specific aspect of the law. I recommend Patrick's group to anyone seeking superb legal representation from a team that is also sensitive to client participation.
