Working With Other Lawyers
Assisting Attorneys in Military Medical Malpractice Cases
When assisting your clients as an attorney, you want to provide the highest possible level of service. In most cases, this can be accomplished in house by you or by a member of your legal team. Yet sometimes there are situations that require a deeper level of understanding – cases that stand apart from the usual legal matters you handle.
Many of our cases come to Swartz & Reed, LLP, as referrals from other highly skilled lawyers and law firms of all sizes. They come to us because of our extensive experience in this highly specialized area of law. We are always pleased to work with a referring lawyer on a co-counsel basis or outright referral. We will work with you in a fair and reasonable way concerning the sharing of work, fees, and expenses in conformity with ethical standards of our respective Bars.
If your client is a current or former member of the Armed Forces, or a family member of one, and has been seriously injured due to medical negligence or has lost a loved one during or shortly after a medical procedure, we invite you to contact Swartz & Reed, LLP with offices in Washington, DC and New Albany, Ohio.
