Maryama and her team were absolutely amazing, professional, supportive, and truly dedicated. Mohammad did an outstanding job during my negotiations and helped me get even more than I expected. I’m beyond grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them!Jennifer Lynn Duncan2025-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm sharing this review on behalf of a friend who is too distraught to post it themself. I have documentation of proof of all of this in case the company wants to refute any of it... I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins, LLP. After working with them for two months, I still have no solutions or progress toward settling my case. From the beginning, I was only connected with a paralegal (Maryama Swindell) who seemed unable to move my case forward. While she was vacationing in Spain, I was suffering over the holidays - losing my job & home from a fatal accident. Despite repeated attempts to get in touch with an actual attorney who could assist me, I was consistently met with excuses or delays. I felt like my case wasn’t taken seriously, and there was a lack of communication and transparency throughout the entire process. I trusted this firm to provide the legal expertise and support I needed because they were referred to me, but instead, it felt like my time was wasted. If you are looking for a firm that will actively work on your case and keep you informed, I would NOT recommend Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins, LLP. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling frustrated and without the legal resolution I was seeking and I had to fire them to find another law firm.Bill Bigsby2024-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Horrible law firm. I personal would never use them for any representation. Staff is rude and unprofessional.J.Gilman2023-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I served as a juror on a case that Woody tried and he did a great job. From the beginning, he basically ran the courtroom, was very engaging, personable, and all the jurors liked him. Kristal was also impressive and it was a pleasure to watch them work.Paula Coleman2021-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent legal services!!

THE ANSWERS
What is considered medical malpractice in Georgia?
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury or discovery of the injury. However, there are exceptions—especially in cases involving children—so it's best to consult an attorney right away.
Do I need expert medical testimony to prove my case?
Yes. Georgia law requires an affidavit from a qualified medical expert stating there is evidence of negligence. We work with top professionals in relevant medical fields to build strong claims.
Can I sue a hospital for the negligence of a doctor?
In many cases, yes. If the doctor is an employee of the hospital or the facility failed to provide proper oversight, the institution may be held liable for damages.
What damages can I recover in a malpractice case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and in cases of wrongful death, funeral costs and loss of companionship.
How do I know if I have a valid malpractice claim?
If you believe your outcome was worsened by a healthcare provider’s mistake, contact our firm. We’ll conduct a thorough case review to determine if malpractice occurred.

These cases can be complex and typically take 12 to 24 months, depending on the facts, the severity of the injury, and whether the case goes to trial.
