Laura Williams
Our family was navigating a deeply stressful and complex medical malpractice claim, and we were fortunate to be represented by Kerona Samuels. Her 18 years of experience, particularly her recognized expertise in medical malpractice defense, was immediately evident. She brought a strategic, detail-oriented approach that was crucial for our case, which involved nuanced nursing home care standards. What truly stood out was her ability to translate complex legal and medical jargon into clear, understandable terms for us, which alleviated much of our anxiety. Her background, including her time at New York Law School and her senior role at Martin Clearwater & Bell, gave us immense confidence in her capabilities. While her legal acumen is exceptional, we did find that communication response times could occasionally be slower during particularly busy periods, though her team was always helpful as a backup. Ultimately, her diligent preparation and negotiation skills led to a resolution that was far better than we had anticipated. We highly recommend Ms. Samuels to anyone in need of a sharp, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring attorney in this highly specialized field.
