Attorney Paul McConnell

Co-Founder

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.

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).

• 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.

Paul McConnell and Dr. Michael Giordano are trial lawyers that have the experience and success in medical malpractice claims to ensure that you enjoy your legal rights. We have unparalleled and uncompromising professional standards. We relentlessly pursue the best recovery in every case that is entrusted to our care. All military medical malpractice claims involving the government have a two-year statute of limitations.

• When you call you will speak directly to Dr. Michael Giordano or Attorney Paul McConnell, generally within 24-hours.

You will have the benefit of free evaluation by a certified neurosurgeon and former naval medical officer as well as two accomplished trial lawyers. We travel to where you are stationed, which allows you to work with us face-to-face when needed and doesn't disrupt your daily routine, work schedule, family life, or anything else.

Personal Injury can take on many forms and no two cases are identical. If you have been injured, it is important to seek legal counsel immediately to fully understand your rights. Via Personal Injury Law, you might be entitled to compensation for:

• Lost employment wages due to the inability to work your normal job schedule.
• The wage difference due to the inability to earn future expected wages.
• Any current and future medical expenses that are the result of your injury.
• Settlements in the event of physical or mental injuries caused by negligent behavior, failure to supervise or cover-up negligent behavior.

If you have been injured through negligence or malpractice while serving, then you need an effective plan to seek your recovery. You may have many questions, such as:

• How strong is my case?
• What is the estimated value of my case?
• Where will my case proceed?
• What information do I need to gather?
• What steps do I need to take, and before what deadlines?
