Many of the firms who seek to represent you in dental malpractice cases either refer these cases to other attorneys or spend much of their time with general negligence litigation and non-dental malpractice matters. Moreover, due to their lack of familiarity with dental malpractice litigation, many attorneys who seek dental malpractice lawsuits will not represent a client in what they consider to be a small case, and may miss an opportunity to recover damages for dental patients. Medical malpractice and dental malpractice are not the same. Our firm benefits you, because we have acquired an understanding of the basic principles and concepts of dentistry, through our continual prosecution of dental malpractice lawsuits, large and small. We have learned that most law firms, even those who claim to limit their practices to dental malpractice litigation, will not represent injured dental patients in small cases. Most of the time, we will.

Since our firm limits its practice primarily to dental malpractice litigation, we have access to dental experts in all of the specialties of dentistry. As a result of these relationships, we have acquired considerable knowledge, skill, and training, which provides the sound foundation for competent and vigorous representation of injured dental patients. Additionally, our firm believes in using technology for the benefit of our clients. We have developed a methodology for scanning original dental records and dental x-rays in the hands of negligent dentists (and their counsel), and these records are usually inspected and scanned prior to depositions. Diagnostic copies of original films and x-rays are then sent to a dental expert. Furthermore, we are respected by the insurance companies who defend and indemnify the dentists, as well as the attorneys who represent dentists in malpractice litigation.
