In simpler terms, the medical professional did something unreasonable or failed to do something that was reasonable.

Let me begin by saying that from my initial contact with the firm of Ward & Barnes, through the resolution of my case, I couldn't be more satisfied and appreciative! My attorneys, Mr. Ward and Mr. Pittman, were consumate professionals who treated me with dignity and courtesy. The support staff, especially Tatiana, were always very pleasant and kind, responsive to to my queries, and prompt in their communication. I was thoroughly informed of my rights and responsibilities as a client, as well as given realistic expectations of the timeline and value of my case. Though my case was a small one, I

I hired Ward and Barnes after a car accident last year. They have been responsive and professional. Because of the style of their firm you get direct attention from top notch attorneys who are extremely knowledgeable. I'd recommend these folks to anyone. It takes the burden of handling an auto claim completely off your shoulders.

Geo Pittman is very knowledgeable and professional when it comes to personal injury law suits. After being in an automobile accident the first thing he did was made sure I was taken care of medically and received the treatment I needed to get better. He made the entire process from start to finish understandable and stress free. Without him I have no doubt I would not have been fairly compensated or taken care of medically.
