Meyerkord & Meyerkord Welcomes Your Referral

Why refer your case to Meyerkord & Meyerkord?Our lawyers have earned a regional reputation as top plaintiff ’s injury and medical

malpractice litigators. We employ a dedicated team whose sole focus is medical

malpractice litigation. Recently our firm has added class action and product liability

teams. Our lawyers locate, interview, re-interview and retain top national experts

and do not rely on outside services to review cases for us. We meet our experts

face to face, even if that means travelling great distances. We maintain an extensive

medical malpractice database compiled from more than thirty-five years of

litigation.

We welcome referrals from other attorneys who recognize the need for expert

co-representation in specialized areas. Occasionally an attorney will contact us

who accepted a new case believing that the facts seem so good that the defendant

will settle quickly. However, it is discovered that doctors, hospitals and their in-

surance carriers almost never settle malpractice and product defect claims quickly

or inexpensively.

Meyerkord & Meyerkord has the experience, expertise, resources, and technology

to affiliate with you on your medical malpractice cases, product defect cases and

class action matters. If you find yourself in need of assistance we welcome your

referral and encourage you to work with us to provide the best possible

representation for your client. We are proud that the largest single source of our

malpractice cases is referring attorneys who are interested in the best outcomes

for their clients. We have been privileged to work with attorneys from all over

the region on direct referral or collaborative relationships. Our firm will advance

litigation costs and will recognize referral fees where allowed by law.

If you have taken on a client and need help, contact the experienced trial lawyers

at Meyerkord & Meyerkord today for an immediate consultation.
