The Best Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Maryland

By Byron Warnken, on April 13, 2013

Who is the best medical malpractice lawyer in Maryland?  If you have a potential med mal claim, this is the question you want to know.  But how do you find the answer?  Is it even possible to find the answer?

Are Skills Subjective?

What traits are required to be the best?  Should the lawyer be great in front of the jury?  Should she know how to find the best experts?  Should she have the most experience?  Should she best the most feared by insurance companies?  The smoothest talker?

Perhaps the best medical malpractice lawyers would actually be a small team, with all of the above skill sets.

The question “Who the actual best medical malpractice lawyer in Maryland?” cannot actually be answered.  There are quite a few lawyers who could arguably compete for the title.  Since the question can’t be answered subjectively, what about objectively?  Is there data that can answer the question?

The List

One example might be: What lawyer is the most experienced malpractice lawyer in Maryland?  This is a question we can start to answer

Anecdotally, many would say various names on this list fit the bill of “best medical malpractice lawyers in Maryland.”  However, a lawyer can’t make statements that cannot be proven.  Best is hard to prove.  There are 25 pages of MD med mal lawyers here.  The ones on the list with the most cases should be considered, but don’t fail to click on a few more pages.  You will find more.  Sometimes being at the top of a cases list just means you’ve been around the longest.

Your Particular Case

Also, sometimes it’s not about the lawyers with the most cases or even most success overall.  Sometimes it’s about finding the right one based on your potential defendant.  For instance, if you want to sue Johns Hopkins Hospital for a possible cerebral palsy case, you might look to lawyers with the best record in that limited circumstance.

Keith Forman doesn’t have the most med mal cases, not by a long shot.  (He’s an up and comer, not an old timer.)  However, in the limited circumstance of the above (among others), he’s had some massive success.  Perhaps he is the one for your case.

You should certainly look at number of cases, but make sure to dig deeper at results, defendants, and jurisdictions.  It’s all relevant.  The best medical malpractice lawyer in Maryland is not one lawyer, it’s actually a large group of lawyers.
