Testimonials

Here’s what leading legal professionals say about working with Second Opinion.

“I have used the services of Second Opinion on a number of occasions in connection with my medical malpractice cases and in each instance the product that I received has been excellent. In one particular case, which I was beginning to believe was a case that could not be made, Second Opinion was able to locate an extremely well-qualified expert who provided me a theory that made the case. Even in those situations where Second Opinion has provided me a negative opinion on issues of negligence or causation, they have provided me with detailed, eminently understandable reports which I have been able to use in explaining to the client why the case could not be pursued. I presently use the services of Second Opinion on an active basis, and I will continue to do so in the future.”

“Second Opinion provides absolutely invaluable support to our national practice. Their reasonable costs for evaluation of complex cases, superb file organization, extensive experience with the medical malpractice insurance world and great people skills have been critical factors to our success in prosecuting complex cases. Because their evaluation costs are so reasonable, we are able to have them review a wide variety of potential claims early on. This allows us to reject claims that would absorb huge amounts of time and money and prosecute claims where Second Opinion has given us a ‘thumbs up’. I personally vouch for their honesty and integrity and have had tremendous success in cases where I have used their services."

"Second Opinion serves as part of our investigative and trial team. Rather than deal with the problems of in-house technical and nursing staff, I use Second Opinion to review and analyze records, tell me what I am missing, what is smoking and where to go from there. They organize thoroughly all medical and hospital records for my use and expert review.  They are not a referral service, but assist greatly in locating superbly qualified experts who will charge reasonable fees and come to court when needed. They are always there as a sounding board. When they don’t have a quick answer, they seek out accurate information in a reasonable return time. Like me, they are not 9 to 5’ers. I speak to them late into the evening and on weekends. They are still working when most employees have gone home. They even bug me when I have forgotten to get back to them with additional data. Their billing is accurate, detailed and reasonable.
I highly recommend Second Opinion.

“We have the largest personal injury practice in Western New York. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the efforts which you have put forth over the years working with the attorneys at my firm. I have been involved in medical malpractice for more than 15 years, and have used many different ‘referral services’. I can tell you without any reservation that Second Opinion stands head and shoulders above any service that I have used. I look forward to the continuation of our relationship.”

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding expert you provided in the matter of W…v. Dr. P…. As a result of this orthopedist’s very strong testimony, the case was settled for 100 cents on the dollar at $350,000. Once again we have been successful together... in fact I don’t believe that there has ever been a single case that you have agreed to take on with me that we have lost.”

“I have had an extremely good experience in dealing with Second Opinion, especially with respect to screening for malpractice cases. They have given me both bad and good news that allowed me to analyze whether to proceed or not beyond an initial consultation with a medically injured client. Their response time, expert referral and experience have been invaluable to our medical injury and malpractice business."

David Gottesman, Esq.

"I have used Second Opinion over the last six years to evaluate all of my medical injury cases. Their ability to critically analyze these intricate types of cases is remarkable. The staff of Second Opinion has helped me separate the probable winners from the likely losers in a very short time, and at a very reasonable cost. Over the years I have found Second Opinion provides me by far the most effective and efficient way to screen cases and locate credible experts, with whom I have a great deal of success.”

Thomas R. Taggart, Esq.

"I have had several cases evaluated over the last few years by Second Opinion and have been extraordinarily pleased with the results of the evaluations. It is critical in the field of medical malpractice that honest and thorough decisions be made with respect to the prospects of successfully prosecuting a particular case. Wendy and Howard Weiss are thorough with respect to their review of the file materials and extremely candid as to the prospects of going forward. They consult qualified experts in making the review and then offer invaluable assistance in retaining the types of experts that are well versed in the subject material and forensically capable. I would highly recommend Second Opinion to those practicing in the medical malpractice field."
