Gfeller Laurie LLP’s attorneys represent medical professionals and institutions in matters involving complex medical issues and large damage exposure. Our team represents physicians of all specialties, nurses, dentists, hospitals, and other health-care providers in malpractice litigation, pre-suit investigations, claim evaluations and liability assessments; and credentialing and licensing investigations conducted by governmental agencies. Our team is comprised of skilled and highly experienced trial attorneys who have a rich history of obtaining defense verdicts at trial and successful results before the Connecticut Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, and in licensing proceedings before the Department of Public Health.
Our experience in several areas of medicine provides our clients with the benefit of years of knowledge and familiarity with numerous procedures, techniques and medical concepts. We utilize wide-ranging medical research to support our knowledge base and often use that information to help educate administrators and professionals during their defense.
We partner with all decision-makers and individuals involved in the process to meet their specific needs when defending matters, including protecting reputations and facilitating early institutional responses. In addition, we routinely advise clients on risk management issues. Just like with patients, one size does not fit all in healthcare defense, and we pride ourselves in being flexible in our approach. Our goal is to achieve the results our clients desire, consistent with their philosophy towards liability claims, while being efficient and effective.
We also recognize that healthcare and professional liability matters impact most professionals on an emotional and mental health level. We provide support to those who find the process challenging and demoralizing, and we work creatively to find the optimal way to obtain the result that best meets their specific situation.
We are ready to deliver experienced counsel and advice, to provide a vigorous defense of good medicine and are prepared to try cases to verdict.
