Professional malpractice claims involve high stakes. Thus, parties in such cases need an attorney who is sensitive to their needs and will be a forceful voice for them. Podvey Meanor fills that role.

From the defense side, we have attorneys with decades of experience representing attorneys, accountants, doctors, hospitals, architects, engineers and brokers against malpractice claims. The same knowledge of the law and these professions make the firm ideally suited to represent plaintiffs who have suffered harm because of professional malpractice. Our approach to a malpractice claim -- whether representing a claimant or the professional -- is simple, cost-effective, and proven to be successful: investigate thoroughly, analyze comprehensively, plan strategically and execute deliberately towards a swift and satisfactory resolution.

Podvey Meanor also provides legal representation to professionals including attorneys, physicians, dentists and accountants in connection with charges that may be brought by the Professional Board with oversight of the licensing of the professional. Often, by virtue of Podvey Meanor's knowledge and experience, a client will achieve an early resolution without the necessity and expense of protracted hearings. However, when the Board seeks significant sanctions, including suspension or revocation, Podvey Meanor has the litigation skills and knowledge to defend our clients aggressively in these administrative proceedings.

Podvey Meanor also has frequently represented professionals in connection with the drafting of an employment agreement in the fields of medicine and dentistry. Podvey Meanor has numerous medical practitioner clients, and we are knowledgeable regarding the latest developments in this area so we can advise what is most advantageous to our client. We are currently retained to represent professionals in connection with internal practice disputes and partnerships/shareholder breakups. Representation in this area calls for knowledge of not only the law, but the business practices and economics of the practice to favorably resolve the dispute in the best interest of our clients.

Because of our dedication to our representation of our clients, these clients can focus their time and energy where they really want -- on their practices -- while we address their legal problems.
