Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Sentinel Medical Malpractice represents patients and families harmed by preventable errors. Every case begins with a rigorous review of your complete medical record - before we offer any opinion or ask you for anything.
What we handle
Medical malpractice is not one area - it is a discipline that spans every specialty, every setting, and every stage of care. We focus exclusively on cases where a provider's failure caused measurable patient harm.
Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, nerve damage, and post-operative failures that should never happen. We investigate the full operative record.
When a condition is missed or named wrong, the consequences compound fast. We trace the diagnostic chain from first contact to harm.
Wrong drug, wrong dose, dangerous interaction - at the prescriber, the pharmacy, or the bedside. We follow the error to its source.
Oxygen deprivation, forceps trauma, delayed C-section decisions - injuries during delivery that affect a lifetime. We build the full clinical picture.
ER errors move fast and documentation moves faster. We secure records immediately and reconstruct what happened in time-critical care.
Anesthesia errors cause brain injury, awareness under sedation, and death. We work with anesthesiology specialists on every evaluation.
Why Sentinel
Medical malpractice cases are won or lost on the quality of the evidence and the depth of the medical understanding behind it. These are the five commitments we make to every client.
We request and review your complete medical record before we form any view of your case. The facts lead - not assumptions about what the case is worth.
Every case goes to at least one board-certified specialist in the relevant field. We do not rely on generalist opinions for complex clinical questions.
You pay nothing unless we recover compensation. No hidden costs, no case expenses billed back unless we win - confirmed in your engagement letter.
We build as if every case will be tried. That posture is also what gets cases resolved favorably before trial - organized, documented, expert-supported.
Not a paralegal, not a case manager. Your lead attorney is reachable and gives you a direct line - because your questions deserve real answers.
The team
A focused, senior team. You work directly with the attorney assigned to your case - and that attorney is responsible to you from first contact through resolution.

Client experience
They had a cardiologist review my records before our first full meeting. I knew then they were serious about understanding what had happened.
I called three firms before Sentinel. They were the only ones who asked about the chart before telling me what the case might be worth.
Our daughter's birth injury case felt impossible to understand. Sentinel's team translated the medicine into plain language at every step.
Composite, illustrative client experiences for a concept design. Not actual client statements.

Common questions
The answers most people want before reaching out. If your question is not here, a confidential call with our team will answer it without obligation.
Schedule a Free ReviewThe core question is whether a healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected in their field, and whether that failure caused your harm. We evaluate both elements independently. The best first step is a confidential review of your records - we will tell you what we find, honestly, even if it does not support a claim.
Nothing upfront. Medical malpractice cases are handled on a contingency basis - our fee is a percentage of any recovery. If we do not obtain compensation for you, you owe us nothing. We explain the full fee structure in plain language before you sign anything.
It depends on case complexity, the defendant institution, and whether the matter settles or goes to trial. Many cases resolve in one to three years. We give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation - not a number designed to sign you as a client.
No. We maintain a network of board-certified specialists across the major medical disciplines. We identify, engage, and work with the right expert for your case. You focus on your recovery; we handle the clinical review.
Start with whatever you have - discharge summaries, prescriptions, imaging CDs, billing statements. We will formally request your complete records directly from the provider or hospital. The earlier you contact us, the sooner we can begin preservation, which matters for certain types of evidence.
