Types of Cases We Handle
Our Key Strengths
Decades of Experience
Our dental malpractice attorneys have been practicing law for well over 45 years. We also have an associate attorney who is relatively new to law, but is an experienced board-certified dentist. We have knowledge of, and insight into dentistry that other attorneys do not. As your legal representative and advocate we will passionately fight for the justice you deserve.
Fair Pricing
Hiring an attorney is not something most dental patients expect to do.
All of our fees are contingency based. We do not get paid unless you get compensated. We do not expect our clients to have the money to hire a lawyer and to get their teeth fixed, as well. Our clients do not have to pay any money in advance of the case being resolved. We also advance all costs. Because we understand dentistry and dental malpractice, we are able to keep the client’s costs to a minimum. Unlike most law firms investigating a potential dental malpractice case, we are able to analyze most cases independently and we have a large group of dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, and other specialists to help us develop the case.
Confident Representation
Most larger law firms in Maryland do not understand dentistry or dental malpractice issues as well as we do. That is why we are happy to get referrals of dental malpractice cases from all over the state of Maryland. According to the Health Claims Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, we handle over 75% of all dental malpractice cases in the state of Maryland. Other dental malpractice attorneys do not possess the insight and resources that we at the Law Offices of Fred B. Goldberg, PC have. If you are in Maryland or Washington, D.C., and have been injured by a dentist, reach out now.
