Our Mission Statement & Purpose

Our Mission & Purpose

Our sole purpose is to help military families, both stateside and abroad, recover compensation in the event that a family member or dependent has suffered injury through negligence or malpractice of a military doctor, hospital, clinic, or other medical facility. We have been committed nearly all of our professional lives to serving alongside service members with “Mission Accomplishment” the hallmark of our calling.

Important Facts About Our Firm

We represent military families and file military medical malpractice claims throughout the country under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). We represent military families and file military medical malpractice claims overseas under the Military Claims Act (MCA).

More About The Process

If your case is meritorious and you select us to represent you we then evaluate whether your claim should be brought in the district where the injury occurred or in the district where the service member maintains his/her home of record. This is a pivotally important legal decision that is unique to the FTCA.
In many cases we retain local counsel on your behalf, but there is never any additional fee to you. Local counsel will either be integral members of your trial team, or, they will simply file a Pro Hac Vice motion to allow us to represent you in the appropriate federal district court.
In all events, we are with you every step of the way to ensure your rights are protected and that the recovery is maximized. No matter how many attorneys work on your case, you never pay anything unless there is a recovery and the amount of attorneys fees are fixed by law and cannot be increased.
