Tell Tim what happened.
You do not need to know whether it was malpractice. That is exactly what the review is for. Send the form and the office will get back to you, or call the line nearest you and speak to someone today.
Free and confidential. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Request your free review
A few sentences about the medical care and what concerns you is enough to start. If Tim needs more, he will ask.
What happens after you send this
Someone from the office calls you back
Usually within a business day. The first conversation is short: what happened, when, and which providers were involved.
Tim decides whether to request the records
If there may be something here, the office gathers the medical records. That costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
A physician reviews the medicine
An independent medical professional examines the records to establish whether the care fell below the accepted standard and whether that caused the harm.
You get a straight answer
Including when the answer is that there is no case. Hearing that early is more useful than hearing it after two years of litigation.
Before you reach out
The questions people ask most before their first call. For the legal groundwork, the medical malpractice page goes deeper.
Send your details →Nothing. The initial case review is free and confidential, and Tim handles malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, so there is no attorney fee up front and none at all unless he recovers for you.
It depends on the injuries, the records involved, and whether a lawsuit becomes necessary. Gathering records and obtaining an independent medical professional's review takes time before anything is filed, and a contested case can run beyond a year. Tim will give you a realistic picture for your specific situation rather than an optimistic one.
Not necessarily. Many claims are resolved through negotiation. A lawsuit is filed when a fair settlement cannot be reached, and Tim prepares every case as though it will be tried, which is often what brings the other side to the table.
That depends on facts a review will surface: whether the harm is temporary or permanent, how much it has affected your life and livelihood, and the specific circumstances of the care. Anyone who quotes you a figure before reading the records is guessing. Tim will not.
Nothing formal is required. If you have them, the names of the providers and facilities involved, rough dates, and any records or paperwork you were given help the first conversation move faster. If you do not have them, call anyway — the office can help gather what is needed.
Yes. What you share in a case review is treated as confidential. Contacting the firm does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, and no legal advice is given until the firm formally agrees to represent you, but your information is handled with discretion either way.
If your situation is time-sensitive,
say so when you call. New Mexico's malpractice deadlines can be strict, and some start earlier than people expect. Reaching out early costs nothing and protects your options.
