When medical mistakes happen, lives and livelihoods are often at risk. As lawyers for medical negligence, and as people who care about the well-being of our valued clients, we understand what this means to you and your family, and advocate wholeheartedly for a just and advantageous malpractice settlement. While some clinical negligence claims may be resolved outside of the court system through mediation, it is important to recognize that your medical malpractice lawyer at Neinstein is also prepared to stand by you and advance your case should it go to trial.

Our medical malpractice lawyers have developed proven strategies which can strengthen your case and protect your rights to financial security and restitution, while providing you the opportunity to focus on your road to recovery.

Not all law firms can offer in-depth knowledge and insight vital for a successful medical malpractice claim. At Neinstein, a medical malpractice lawyer who has been specifically trained and practiced in cases like yours will be a powerful ally.

When you choose to retain a medical malpractice lawyer at Neinstein, you gain the peace of mind that can only come from proven methods and pertinent experience.

Prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment can mean the difference between good health and undue hardship, or even life and death. If you or a loved one has been misdiagnosed or have been subject to a delayed diagnosis, your well-being or the welfare of a family member may be at stake.

N.V. & K.H Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from N.V. and K.H.
"We were referred to Duncan through a relative who happens to be a lawyer and has knowledge of the trauma that we were experiencing at the time. Our daughter was born with a traumatic brain injury at delivery and we were clueless about our options but felt we needed to speak to someone and at least explore different possibilities.

Duncan was the second lawyer we met with but immediately felt he would be the best person to represent us. We could tell from the beginning he had immense medical knowledge because of his many years of experiences as a medical malpractice lawyer and we connected with Duncan as a person and a parent; he was very personable.

Throughout the four-year journey we embarked on Duncan became more of a family member than a just a lawyer. It was an extremely complex process that needed not only legal expertise but also leadership and Duncan always put our family first. One of the most important attributes that Duncan possesses outside of his legal skills is his ability to understand our family dynamics and keep us informed at every step of the way.

This case was literally our life for over four years. The stress was absolutely enormous and Duncan advocated for us as if he was advocating for his own family. Too many times he had to deal with not only an impossibly frustrating defense counsel but also our short tempers, frustrations and fears. He balanced all this and kept us focused on what was important while he took care of the legal process, which he knew inside out. My wife and I would reassure ourselves that we trust Duncan and his amazing team and that literally got us through some very trying times.

In the end Duncan not only got us the result that was needed and deserved but he did so with putting our family first and in our fragile mental and emotional state we could not have asked for anything more. It's great to know that we now have the ability to take care of our daughter and her future needs.

I would recommend Duncan without even a moment's hesitation to anyone that needs expert legal advice and guidance. He is Master of his craft and truly cares about the families he represents."
 
C.R. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from C.R.
"In 2010, I met Duncan for the first time with my wife. He explained to me that he had reviewed all the information I had sent to his firm and he said he couldn't believe what he was reading. With that he looked at me and said he would like to help me, because there is a good cause for legal action. So he took the case and things started moving along. The ordeal took many years but we eventually closed the case.

During that period, I spent a lot of time with Daniela and a lot of time with Duncan. They came to my home many times to go over things with me and my wife; they took care of the whole legal process for me.

I feel that after 5 years we have more than a professional connection; we developed a strong friendship. I feel more than just a client; I feel like they care about me, my family and my welfare. The way he talks about his clients is very endearing. He is a very compassionate man and he remembers all details about his clients which is very reassuring. You couldn't ask for two people to represent you better than what they did. They just don't exist. Over all those months, that I went through the discovery, pre-trial and trial other lawyers would come up to me and say "You are a fortunate man, Duncan is one of the best lawyers you are ever going to get" and that wasn't just one time, it was several times that other lawyers came up and told me that. I always felt very confident in working with Duncan. He changed my life for the better and for that I am so grateful."

Anna S. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from Anna S.
"Duncan Embury and Sonia Nijjar at Neinstien helped us through one of the most difficult and vulnerable times of our lives.

Rathini S. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from Rathini S.
"We went through a difficult time due to medical negligence at a Toronto hospital. We approached several law firms with no success. They were simply not interested in taking up our case. When we called Duncan at Neinstein LLP, he immediately made an appointment to come and see us. The meeting with Duncan gave us strength and hope to pursue justice. We immediately felt that we were not alone. Duncan, Sonia and the team were everything that we wished for and beyond. They were very professional, punctual, and compassionate. We thank them wholeheartedly and wish them all the best."

"Duncan and Sonia met my family at a time where we were dealing with very difficult circumstances and couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. They took on our complex case and fought for us tooth and nail until they sought justice for us! We are so incredibly grateful for their perseverance and grace. We couldn't have gotten through it without them. Thank you."
