Client Testimonials
Client
★
I called this law firm today with the hopes of pursuing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit against a doctor who recently botched my breast reduction surgery on July 30, 2025. I was told, "We do not handle these types of cases, however, I can give you the phone number for another attorney." They provided two names and phone numbers for other attorneys. I've had no luck with either. I'm so disappointed.

My husband and I can't recommend Jim Cardea more highly! His expertise, patience and his kind demeanor are extremely helpful during what can be an unusually stressful period in one's life. We can't thank him enough for his help when we needed it the most.

I've only recently been informed that my daughters pediatrician is in jail for molestation charges. My daughter was approximately 3 months when we were attending appointments. I'm absolutely distraught and sickened. What can I do to seek compensation? This was in 2001.
