How long will my case take to resolve?

What should I do if the insurance company contacts me?

Avoid giving recorded statements or accepting quick settlements before consulting your attorney; insurance adjusters often seek to limit liability. Instead, refer them to your lawyer and provide only basic contact information until you have legal guidance.

If you are looking for legal representation for Medical Malpractice Jay Cook is the best decision you’ll ever make. My case was a medical malpractice case. Throughout my experience from first day of meeting Jay and his partner Chris I was at ease. They without a doubt are the very best. Their compassion was truly so touching to me. In my case I experienced highs and lows with my health. I never felt alone during the entire process. Much love to Jay and his staff! Karen
