Competent representation in a complex medical case
I hired Virginia Buchanan at Levin Papantonio to handle a medical malpractice case involving a surgical error in Jacksonville. Her recognition in the field, including the recent Lawyer of the Year award, was a primary reason for my choice. Her legal analysis of the hospital's negligence was thorough, and her understanding of Florida medical malpractice law was evident. She secured a settlement that covered my significant medical expenses. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Communication was sometimes slower than I would have liked, with periodic delays in receiving updates on my case's status. While her expertise in personal injury litigation is solid, managing client expectations around timelines could be improved. For someone with her depth of education and two years of focused practice, I expected a slightly more streamlined process. She is undoubtedly a capable attorney who achieved the core legal result, but the overall client service felt just adequate.
