Medical Malpractice Defense

      JEFFREY SAMEL & PARTNERS serves as personal defense counsel to physicians and other professionals accused of malpractice in lawsuits, disciplinary proceedings and administrative actions involving licensure and privilege. We recognize that a charge of professional wrongdoing not only has serious financial implications but also involves significant risks to the reputation, good name and future livelihood of the client. Professionals facing allegations of a failure to meet professional standards, or even of misconduct, are typically represented by attorneys appointed for them by professional liability insurance carriers. While these attorneys may be competent, they are often overworked and understaffed. Appointed counsel is often more concerned with pleasing the insurance carrier, with whom they have an ongoing relationship, rather than serving the best interest of the individual professional they represent.

     We are trial attorneys who defend health care providers and pledge prompt, accurate case evaluations and timely communications. Our firm has had extensive experience in the defense of medical professionals involving multi-million dollar exposures. Our extensive network of specialists enables us to conduct comprehensive reviews of medical records and relevant medical research; select and retain expert witnesses and consultants; and conduct all phases of litigation, trial and appellate work.

     JEFFREY SAMEL & PARTNERS has been retained by professionals in most areas of specialty to represent them in matters in which they have been accused of wrongdoing. We have represented such clients where there is no insurance or other appointed counsel, and have also been retained to monitor the work of the appointed counsel to ensure that all of our client's needs and concerns are met. Whether acting alone or in conjunction with appointed counsel, JEFFREY SAMEL & PARTNERS obtains the best possible result for our clients who face what is often the darkest time of their professional careers.
