One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPiedmont is a small, tightly-knit Alameda County community, and most residents here travel to nearby Oakland or Berkeley facilities for hospital-level or specialist care. When that care falls short — a missed diagnosis, a surgical mistake, a medication error, or a delay in treatment — the harm can follow you home to Piedmont for years. Medical malpractice cases are different from typical injury claims: California requires a qualified medical expert to review what happened, a 90-day pre-suit notice before filing, and strict timing rules under MICRA. We listen to what happened, gather the basics, and review your situation to see if a claim may be worth pursuing. We handle these cases on contingency, meaning there's no cost unless a recovery is made. A bad medical outcome by itself doesn't prove malpractice, but if something feels wrong about the care you received, it's worth a conversation.
California generally gives you one year from discovering the harm, and no more than three years from the injury itself, to bring a claim — plus a required 90-day notice before filing suit. We help you move early enough to protect these deadlines.
Because a qualified medical expert almost always has to weigh in on whether care fell below the standard, we work with medical reviewers to evaluate your case.

MICRA's cap on non-economic damages rises annually, so what applied a few years ago may not apply to your case today. We can explain how the current cap and rules may affect your specific situation.
