I truly cannot say enough good things about James “Jamie” McCormick and his wonderful staff. From the very beginning, Jamie made me feel heard, supported, and cared about. Going through an injury case can be stressful and overwhelming, but Jamie always took the time to listen to me, explain things, and make sure I understood what was happening. I never felt like I was just another case to him. Barb and Tim were wonderful as well. They were always kind, patient, helpful, and reassuring whenever I had questions or needed something. Having people who genuinely care makes such a difference, especially when you are already dealing with pain and so much uncertainty. Jamie worked hard for me, and I always felt he had my best interests at heart. I am so grateful for the time, effort, compassion, and dedication that he and his entire team gave me throughout this process. I would absolutely recommend Jamie McCormick and his staff to anyone who needs an attorney who is knowledgeable, honest, compassionate, and truly cares about the people he represents. Thank you, Jamie, Barb, Tim, and everyone on the team. I appreciate all of you more than you know.

This business is housed in The Bowes Building which was built in 1919 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This is a beautiful historic building and a must see. I was granted permission to take some inside pics by a really nice attorney. I didn't get his name but I would definitely hire him as a personal injury attorney. A lot of attorneys would not let me just take pics of their building.

I can’t thank Neil enough for the incredible care, expertise, and compassion he showed while handling my wife’s and children’s cases. Family matters like these are incredibly stressful and emotional, but from our very first consultation, he made us feel heard, respected, and confident that we were in the absolute best hands. He took the time to thoroughly understand every detail of our situation, explained complex legal options in clear, straight forward and always kept our children’s best interests at the forefront of every decision. His strategic approach, attention to detail, and strong advocacy in court resulted in an outcome that protected my family and gave us the stability we needed. What truly set him apart was his genuine empathy—he wasn’t just our attorney; he was a steady, reassuring presence during one of the chapters of our lives. He responded promptly to every question,kept us updated every step of the way, and fought tirelessly on our behalf. If you’re facing law challenges involving your spouse or children injuries, do yourself a favor and choose Neil Stubbs.He is professional, brilliant, and truly cares about his clients. We are forever grateful and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thank you

What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death legislation is in place to assist the deceased family in the case of a wrongful death. The legal definition of wrongful death is “taking of the life of an individual resulting from the willful or negligent act of another person or persons.” The complexities of a wrongful death suit and the differences in statutes from state to state, mean that hiring a personal injury lawyer is necessary. For success, the plaintiff in a wrongful death case must usually show:

Death of a human being
Another’s negligence or intent to cause harm
That family members are suffering monetary injury resulting from death
That a personal representative has been appointed for the deceased’s estate

Over 90,000 medical malpractice fatalities occur every year, the leading cause of wrongful death.

In 2016, the median settlement for a medical malpractice case was $1.29.

In 2016, the average settlement for a medical malpractice case was $3.51.
