How referrals work
Five steps from “something went wrong” to a trial firm actively reviewing your file. Here is exactly what happens, and when.
- 01Today
Tell us what happened
Five minutes on the phone or a short form: who treated you, when, and what went wrong. No legal jargon required.
- 02Same day
We check eligibility
We look for the three things every malpractice case needs: a provider-patient relationship, care that fell below the standard, and a real injury caused by it.
- 0324-48 hours
We match the firm
We know which Philadelphia-area firms take which cases — birth injury, delayed cancer diagnosis, emergency room errors — and which ones try them in front of a jury.
- 04Within a week
You meet the right firm
A direct introduction, not a sold lead. You speak with the attorney and decide whether to sign. Nothing is owed for the consultation.
- 05Ongoing
They build the case
The firm pulls your records, hires a physician expert, files the certificate of merit, and takes it from there. Fees only come out of a recovery.
Real Philadelphians. Real referrals.
We cannot promise a result — no one honestly can. We can promise you will speak with someone who understands the difference between a birth injury and a delayed cancer diagnosis.
“I had assumed that any malpractice attorney would do. After a short intake conversation, I was referred to a firm that regularly tries delayed cancer diagnosis cases. The process was straightforward and I spoke directly with someone who understood the medicine.”

Delayed Cancer Diagnosis referral
“Following my son's birth injury, we were contacted repeatedly by several high-volume firms. This service reviewed our situation carefully, explained the certificate of merit requirement, and referred us to counsel experienced in HIE claims. The guidance was clear at every stage.”
5 out of 5Marcus T. — West Philadelphia
Birth Injury referral
“My mother fell in a Northeast Philadelphia nursing home and I could not determine whether the cause was neglect or her declining health. The distinction was explained to me plainly, the file was referred to a firm that litigates against long-term care facilities, and I received follow-up afterward.”

Local courts. Regional reach.
Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas has its own malpractice program, certificate of merit rules, and judges who know these cases. We only refer to firms that practice there regularly — and in Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and South Jersey courts when that is where your case belongs.
Pennsylvania generally gives you two years to file. Missing the deadline can end your case before it starts, so call sooner rather than later.
