Malpractice Defense

Medical and Professional Malpractice Defense Attorneys

Adler, Cohen, Harvey, Wakeman and Guekguezian, LLP is one of the premier medical malpractice defense firms in New England, with offices in Boston, Providence and Portsmouth. We have handled numerous cases involving healthcare institutions and individual providers, from physicians and nurses to dentists and chiropractors. We have a demonstrated ability to try complex malpractice cases to verdict, in both jury and bench trials in state and federal courts.

Our long and distinguished track record in malpractice cases gives us the expertise to handle cases of any complexity and exposure level—including cases involving catastrophic injuries or death with multi-million-dollar damages. This expertise has made our firm the counsel of choice for major medical and professional malpractice insurers.

While most of our professional liability work has been in the area of medical malpractice, we have the experience and the capability to provide effective defense and consultation for professionals in a range of fields facing this challenging career threat. Our experience includes defending lawyers, architects and accountants in cases involving allegations of professional negligence. At Adler, Cohen, Harvey, Wakeman and Guekguezian, LLP, we have the expertise to develop effective defense strategies, leveraging our extensive malpractice trial experience.

Alternative resolution strategies: When warranted by the circumstances of the case, we complement our proven trial capabilities with experience in alternative dispute resolution approaches, including mediation and arbitration. We always seek to provide solutions most appropriate to each client's personal objectives and priorities.

Risk management consultation: Our practice is not limited to crisis-driven litigation. We work with clients to develop strategies and practices to help minimize risk by avoiding potential problems. We also share our malpractice risk management knowledge through lectures and panel discussions before professional organizations.
