MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWYERS TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, ARKANSAS

Norton Schwab has limited its practice primarily to wrongful death and significant medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Our Dallas medical malpractice law firm handles only select contingent fee cases.

We rely upon state of the art technologies and commit the economic resources necessary to maximize the value of each client’s case.

Many of our cases come from referring attorneys who are very important to our practice. Referring attorneys remain active in our cases and have substantially benefited from the joint venture fees paid when cases have successfully resolved.

Bottom line – if we accept a case, we expect to win. It is our belief that if a firm is unwilling to commit the necessary economic resources to a case, the insurance company will not feel threatened by the firm’s involvement.

We strive in every case to retain the best experts throughout the nation to fully prepare our cases for trial, regardless of the cost or their location.
