Waldorf Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Tens of Millions of Dollars Recovered Since 1978
Today, many hospitals and nursing homes seem to be more focused on their bottom lines than on healing the injured and caring for the sick and vulnerable. When the emphasis is on cutting costs and maximizing profits, errors and oversights are bound to happen.
Have you or a loved one been affected by a doctor’s error, a hospital’s oversight, or a caregiver’s negligence? Has a loved one been the victim of abuse, injury, neglect, or death in a Maryland nursing home?

We fight tirelessly to obtain results, justice, and compensation for our clients.

How do you find a medical malpractice attorney?
Finding the right medical malpractice attorney for your case can be daunting. To help get you started, here are the top qualities you should look for when deciding who you want to represent you:
- A history of success - You want someone who has handled other medical malpractice cases (successfully) in the past and has made meaningful recoveries for past clients.
- A medical background or resources - Due the complex nature of medical malpractice claims, you will want to ensure your attorney either has a medical background themselves, or that they have access to medical experts who can help build and support your case.
- Someone who puts your interests first - Sometimes going to trial is in your best interest, and other times it may be in your best interest to settle outside of court. It's imperative that you and your medical malpractice lawyer are on the same page about what your priorities are and are willing to make decisions based on what's best for you.

Keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with
“
I just recently had James E. Farmer handle my second DUI and I received the best possible outcome I could've wished for. The judge I had could've really laid down the hammer on me but James worked his magic and did an incredible job. He knows what he is talking about and is very humble. He keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with, and he explains everything so you know exactly what is going on. This is my first time hiring James and without a doubt, I would hire him again. He would be the first person I'd call if another legal problem should ever rise-- though I've made a promise to myself to stay away from the law as much as possible. He will be highly recommended to anyone that asks me if I know a great lawyer.

Could not have asked for a better group of attorneys to handle our legal problem
“
We could not have asked for a better group of attorneys to handle our legal problem. James Farmer and Melvin Allen were very knowledgeable, confident and successful in handling our case. I will definitely be referring this Law Firm to others.

Thank you, Mr. Farmer, and may God bless you in your future endeavors.
“You and your team have given my family our son back. No amount can adequately compensate for that gift! I can only hope our heart-felt thank-you and 'God bless you' will somehow offset the imbalance.”

Thorough and attentive to my case from the beginning
“From the initial consultation, I knew I needed James Farmer and his team on my side. He was thorough and attentive to my case from the beginning, prior to even hiring his firm. Once I officially hired his firm, he and his colleague Mr. Melvin Allen moved to strategically place me in the best position possible. They supported me throughout the process by making sure I understood what was happening and I felt extremely grateful to have them on my side! Long story short, my case was successfully completed with a favorable outcome! An outcome I couldn’t even imagine was possible but Mr. Allen’s expertise, strategy, and courtroom presence made it all possible! My wife and I are forever grateful and will always look to this firm on any future needs and you should, too!”
