Robert,

When did you last meet with Attorney? (Date)? Did you give
him a retainer to take your case? Has he requested your
medical records from alll the involved health care doctors
to put together a timeline? Have you had a full knee
repalcement surgery yet?

Many Attorney's use legal nurses to do these medical
timelines for them. Ask this Attorney if his firm uses legal
nurses. Legal Nurses can be the key to winning a medical
case like yours since our expertise is medicine and not law.

First thing is did you retain this lawyer?
