Herbert O. Phillips IV, MD, JD is both an attorney and a physician. Having practiced as an Orthopaedic surgeon for thirteen years before entering the legal profession, he has invaluable insight into complex medicolegal issues, including serious personal injuries, medical malpractice and medical-product liability claims. 

Screening cases for evidence of violations of the standard of care and proximate cause is often time-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 often be arraigned at no charge.

A review of cases for the community of plaintiff’s attorneys and/or potential clients can be of value to all involved. Subsequent to a review the referring attorneys will associate the Phillips firm in the law suit.  A willingness to contribute our time and talent in a contingency fee case is, perhaps, the ultimate vote of confidence in that case.

Undoubtedly, many experienced attorneys are entirely capable of mastering the medical issues involved in a case.  Yet it also happens that a new medical fact or scientific claim can unexpectedly be presented during a deposition or during trial. In such instances even the best prepared attorney may lack the broader medical knowledge or actual experience as a doctor that will be crucial in gaining the desired outcome.  Dr. Phillips is in a unique position of knowing how to ask the right questions of the right person at the right time. His expertise can make a significant difference in standard-of-care and causation issues and the outcome of a deposition or the cross examination of a medical-expert witness.
