Medical negligence affects more than the victim. It also wreaks havoc on the lives of the victim’s spouse, children and other loved ones. It causes both heartache and financial hardship.

For 25 years, Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. has worked tirelessly to help victims recover financially and emotionally from medical mistakes—including misdiagnosis, negligent care and medical mismanagement—which can lead to birth injuries, cerebral palsy and other catastrophic and fatal conditions.

THE “A” TEAM

The founding partners are recognized leaders in the medical malpractice field. As a result, the firm has earned the respect of both its clients and its peers in the legal profession.

“Our team’s unique talent, experience and knowledge has resulted in the recovery of millions of dollars for our clients every year,” says Schochor, the managing partner. “We treat our clients with respect and compassion, while maximizing results.” Federico and Staton share that relentless commitment to the firm’s clients.
