Herbert O. Phillips IV, MD, JD is an attorney and also a physician. The combination of a medical with significant legal education and experience in both fields creates unique and advantageous insights into cases with complex Medico-Legal issues including serious personal injuries, medical malpractice, medical product liability claims and class actions.

Screening cases for evidence of violations of the standard of care and proximate cause is often times consuming and is always expensive. Dr. Phillips is available to discuss your potential case at no charge. A review of records, x-rays and imaging studies can also be arraigned at no charge.

Reviewing cases for the community of plaintiff’s attorneys and potential clients is a “win-win” process for all involved. We have found that in many of the cases we review the referring attorneys will associate our firm. A willingness to contribute our time and talent in a contingency fee case is, perhaps, the ultimate vote of confidence in that case.

There are many well trained and experienced attorneys without medical degrees who are more than capable of mastering the medical issues in their cases.

Yet even with in-depth preparation some cases will turn on an unexpected statement or scientific claim offered in passing during a deposition or at trial. At those moments even the best prepared plaintiff’s attorney may lack the broader medical knowledge beyond the focus of the case - knowledge and experience that is sometimes the key to the case.

We are in a unique position to know how to ask the right question of the right person at the right time. This can make a significant difference when assessing standard of care and causation issues or in the outcome of a deposition or the cross examination of a medical expert witness.
