0:07 Finding  A Qualified Attorney For Your Case

How do you find a qualified attorney to represent you in a medical malpractice case? And that’s a good question because any lawyer can do any kind of law that he feels confident in doing. But like all subjects, the more training experience you have in any area, the more ability you have in understanding issues.

I am a physician since 1968. I’ve been a lawyer since 1984. All of those years of training and experience help you understand the issues in the area of medicine. So then if you need an attorney to represent you, it behooves you, you’re wise if you get someone who has the most experience and most knowledge in the area of the law that you are in need of.

Now many many lawyers without medical degrees are very confident. But conversely, the more training you have, the more experience you have, the more assets that attorney has to apply to the problems that his client has.

So you have to evaluate that lawyer’s credentials, his training, his experience, and make your decision based on your needs and what will best serve you in the area of medical negligence. I’m biased of course, but I think that an attorney who has both a law degree and experience practicing law, as well as a medical degree and decades of experience practicing medicine, has more assets that he can apply to your case.

So that’s how I would look for an attorney for a client who needs medical malpractice. I wouldn’t handle trust and estates. I would not handle real estate or complex contract case. I would limit myself to just areas of medical negligence.

So, therefore, if a potential client is in need of an attorney to represent them in a medical malpractice case, those are the things that I think that client should look for. Training, experience, and having done this many many times.
