QUESTION:
Have the California medical malpractice lawyers obtained positive recognition in and outside the legal profession?

ANSWER:
Attorney Henke has a national reputation as an effective, successful and determined California trial attorney as reflected in scores of newspaper articles about his medical malpractice legal work in legitimate national newspapers from the front page of the New York Times to the front page of the Los Angeles Times, from the Washington Post to the San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner, in national legal periodicals from California Lawyer to the National Law Journal, and national and international television, Tom Brokaw's NBC Evening News, CNN. Attorney Henke has also testified before Congress at the invitation of the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives specifically about his California legal work in several medical malpractice and drug product liability cases, including his use of claims for punitive damages to set examples of defendants who consciously disregarded the safety, health and rights of his medical malpractice claimants.

QUESTION:
Can the California medical malpractice lawyer verify that he is an effective legal advocate, by citation to important published appellate victories he has achieved, including in significant medical malpractice cases? The California medical malpractice lawyers appellate success matters because it is a good measure of the medical malpractice attorneys vitally important general ability to argue and persuade on legal issues. It is an ability that is not just essential on medical malpractice appeals. It is an ability essential to the California medical malpractice attorneys effectiveness in meeting all the big and small challenges presented at every stage of medical malpractice litigation, e.g., in pretrial motions, which can seriously affect settlement posture as well as the respective parties' important advantages or disadvantages at the medical malpractice trial. Your California medical malpractice attorneys willingness to ask the appellate court to immediately reverse a bad pretrial decision that guts the medical malpractice case may also be essential to achieve the quickest and best result. Your California medical malpractice lawyers legal advocacy is also a talent essential during a medical malpractice trial, as the medical malpractice trial lawyers must be able to effectively argue legal issues, e.g., the defendant's admission fault or the inadmissibility of the plaintiff's prejudicial medical or character evidence, and perhaps most critically for the medical malpractice case, the permissibility of medical malpractice expert opinion testimony. Then, if you "hit big" at trial, the defendant is almost certain to appeal your favorable medical malpractice verdict, and you may then require superior legal advocacy to hold on to your victory.

ANSWER:
Attorney Henke has had extraordinary published and verifiable appellate victories, both in medical malpractice cases and other cases.. As one example, in a pharmaceutical class action case, on behalf of a single aggrieved client attorney Henke obtained the reversal of a $120,000,000.00 Ohio Federal District Court approved settlement purporting to bind 1000 injured claimants joined in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Ohio and all others injured by the pharmaceutical product nationwide. On a petition for writ of mandate to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, attorney Henke also obtained the reversal of the Ohio Federal District Court's certification of a national mandatory class action. Attorney Henke's argument, accepted by the Court of Appeals as requiring both decisions was that attorney Henke's client was denied his right to the representation of the California attorney of his choice and control over his individual California litigation. The appellate decision effected an important and enduring change in the federal law severely restricting the availability of mandatory, as opposed to voluntary class actions in mass pharmaceutical liability litigation.

As another example, when a California trial judge applied newly enacted tort reform legislation to deprive Attorney Henke's 5 medical malpractice clients of their punitive damage claims against their physicians and hospital, lawyer Henke obtained a stay of the trial and filed in the California Court of Appeals an "extraordinary writ" seeking an immediate reversal of the California trial court's order. The California Court of Appeals granted the writ of mandamus, ordering the California trial judge to reverse its order and permit attorney Henke's medical malpractice clients to pursue their punitive damage claims against the physicians and hospital. It also rendered an important published appellate opinion reinterpreting the repressive California medical malpractice tort reform legislation to deprive it of most of its negative force and effect.

The California medical malpractice lawyers recognition by Martindale Hubbell, his recognition by his peers, his local and national reputation, his medical malpractice trial successes and his appellate successes in medical malpractice cases are all matters which you should want to inquire about in selecting the right California medical malpractice lawyer for your serious injury case.
