Regan Zambri Long PLLC

or the seven plaintiffs’ attorneys at the personal injury law firm Regan Zambri Long PLLC, trial work has been a consistent part of their practice. The firm has built its reputation by trying cases throughout the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland; and today, it is ranked Tier 1 in Washington, D.C. for plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law and personal injury litigation by U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms.” “When you receive this kind of recognition you never really know how your peers made their selection, but I think our continuing trial experience has been a significant factor,” says firm president Patrick M. Regan, who is included in The Best Lawyers in America along with partners Salvatore Zambri and Victor Long. “We never prepare our cases to settle; if we accept representation, it’s always with an eye toward how we can win at trial.” Regan Zambri Long PLLC has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients across a broad range of cases, from medical malpractice, wrongful death, birth injuries, and defective products to automobile collisions, consumer fraud, and other serious injuries. Regan himself has handled more than 80 cases that have resulted in settlements or verdicts in excess of $1 million, and he credits these results to the firm’s selectivity. “We limit our caseload so that we have the time and resources to sit down with all of our potential clients and truly explore their cases,” Regan says. “That approach allows us to obtain the financial assets and other resources our clients need to support their families and put their lives back together.” The firm’s many multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements include a $17.4 million recovery for an attorney who suffered brain damage when his motorized wheelchair malfunctioned and a $4.8 million jury verdict for a man who was violently assaulted at a D.C. nightclub. The firm also works with its clients to achieve their goals outside of the courtroom, as was the case in a lawsuit against the District of Columbia in which Regan’s clients gave up any monetary settlement in exchange for the District’s agreement to enact significant reforms to its ambulance services. “Seeing safety changes come about as a result of our work is one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do,” notes Regan, who was recently honored by the Boy Scouts of America for his work in enhancing public safety in the community. While Regan has received many notable recognitions over his 34-year career—including being named as Best Lawyers’ 2014 Washington, D.C. Lawyer of the Year in plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law—he notes that one of his most gratifying achievements is the fact that when physicians or their family members fall victim to malpractice, they’ve turned to Regan Zambri Long PLLC for help. “We’ve represented many doctors and their families in medical malpractice situations, and I believe that has a lot do with the reputation we’ve developed for our integrity in this field,” Regan says.

Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A.

ow celebrating its 30th anniversary, Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. has recovered approximately $1 billion for those harmed when surgery, medical procedures, diagnoses, and treatments go wrong. “We represent plaintiffs who don’t have resources, who don’t have access to the courthouse, and who are unable to stand up to the large insurance companies and hospital systems—and we level that playing field for them,” says Jonathan Schochor. In the past two years alone, Schochor and his firm have achieved recoveries of $123 million and $190 million in two high-profile class action lawsuits involving medical malpractice. “Our systematic approach to preparing cases for trial ensures that our clients receive the highest level of representation possible,” Schochor notes. Each of the firm’s founding partners— Schochor, Philip C. Federico, and Kerry D. Staton—is a recognized leader in the field of medical negligence with the highest respect from clients, judges, and peers in the legal profession. The firm has also grown to include partners James D. Cardea and Scott P. Kurlander and associates Jonathan Goldberg and Brent Ceryes. In addition to these trial attorneys, the firm employs a full-time staff of medical investigators, four of whom are attorneys and associates in the firm—Lauren A. Schochor, Tara Clary, Beth Frey, and Nicole Szeliga. The chief investigator is Brian Switzer. Together, they devote every day of their professional lives to investigating and preparing the firm’s cases. The firm’s lawyers also have access to approximately 500 medical experts throughout the United States and abroad from every area of medicine and surgery.

“All of these professionals add to the firm’s depth of experience in investigating, preparing, and trying medical malpractice cases,” notes Federico, Best Lawyers’ 2014 Baltimore Lawyer of the Year for plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law. “Together, we go the distance to succeed for our clients.” Though based in Maryland and Washington, D.C., Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. provides clients nationwide with superior legal expertise, as well as access to leading medical professionals. For five years running, all of the firm’s partners have been selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, and the firm is also ranked Tier 1 in Baltimore for plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law by U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms.” Above all, these accolades reflect the profound difference Schochor, Federico and Staton P.A. has been able to make for victims of medical negligence. “By restoring some measure of financial stability and dignity to our clients, we have been able to ease their burdens and improve their quality of life,” observes Staton, Best Lawyers’ 2013 Baltimore Lawyer of the Year for plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law. “And that’s the most rewarding part of what we do—giving clients a meaningful opportunity to recover.” The firm or its various lawyers have been selected for inclusion in the following: ■ The Best Lawyers in America ■ Maryland Super Lawyers ■ Newsweek—Top Law Firms in Maryland ■ U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” ■ Martindale-Hubbell’s AV-Preeminent rating ■ The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers ■ The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum Each case is different. Past success does not guarantee a favorable result in any future case.

any families encounter serious problems at some point—a breakup, a serious accident, or a moment of bad judgment that leads to an arrest. At times like these, people need a law firm with experience and credentials; and in that regard, Reinstein, Glackin, Patterson & Herriott stands out from other similarly sized firms. “Our focus is on family law, personal injury, and criminal defense; and within those three areas our attorneys are highly regarded for their professionalism and excellence,” George Patterson notes.

Patrick Regan

C OVER STORY

Partners for Justice A premier personal injury firm, Regan Zambri Long PLLC advocates for both its injured clients and public safety In the area of personal injury, Regan Zambri Long PLLC’s mission is two-part: to secure justice for those who have suffered a tragedy and to protect the community at large by enforcing safety rules. The firm’s lawyers take both of these responsibilities very seriously. “When we accept a case, we make a commitment to our clients that we will bring principled and compassionate advocacy to their matters,” says Patrick Regan, the firm’s president. “We firmly believe our society depends on the

willingness of citizens to care for and serve others, and we therefore emphasize service at our firm as both a professional and personal obligation.” Because of this philosophy, Regan Zambri Long PLLC has acted as a force for social good in many of its cases. “We have worked on a significant number of injury and product liability lawsuits where, as a result of our efforts, manufacturers and institutions have adopted safety measures or product redesigns that have saved lives,” Regan notes.

For example, through its work in one of the lead cases against Chrysler over the company’s placement of gas tanks in older Jeep models, the firm helped prompt the federal government to request a recall. “In certain vehicles, the gas tanks were located behind the rear axle, making them more likely to catch fire in rearimpact collisions,” Regan notes. “And Chrysler knew about this problem even before the vehicles hit the road.” Chrysler has since agreed to recall an estimated 2.7 million Jeeps. The firm was also instrumental in persuading the Maryland legislature to address the issue of smoke detectors being directly wired into electrical systems without safety-battery backups. “While Maryland changed its building code in 1990 to require back-up battery systems, the revision didn’t call for a retroactive change, and that has had tragic consequences,” Regan says. Regan recently resolved a case for a family that was injured in a house fire after their smoke detectors failed to sound an alarm. The night of the tragedy, a powerful thunderstorm caused an areawide electrical power outage, and because the family’s rental home was built a year before the building code revision, their smoke detectors did not contain safety-battery backups. When a candle that was left burning ignited a fire, two children died and a third suffered catastrophic burns that required the amputation of both his legs. In advocating for the family, Regan became one of the first attorneys in the country to argue that smoke detectors without safety-battery backups were unreasonably dangerous and should not have been marketed. “I took this case to three different appellate courts and lost over and over,” he says. “But I absolutely refused to give up on it; and in the end, we were able to secure a significant settlement for the family.” Regan and his clients also persuaded the state to pass

a law requiring landlords to either remove unsafe smoke detectors and replace them with those containing safety-battery backups, or warn tenants that the detectors couldn’t operate with the power off. “We were able to demonstrate that this was an unreasonably dangerous consumer product and that there was a feasible alternative that provided safety at all times, which was a smoke detector with a safety-battery backup.” In another noteworthy case where the firm helped effect change, Regan was lead counsel for a family that voluntarily gave up any monetary settlement in exchange for the District of Columbia’s agreement to enact significant reforms to its ambulance system. “Because of this legal case and the selfless decision by the family, the District introduced fundamental changes to its emergency medical services that have since made the entire community safer for both residents and tourists,” Regan says.

WHEN WE ACCEPT A CASE, WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO OUR CLIENTS THAT WE WILL BRING PRINCIPLED AND COMPASSIONATE ADVOCACY TO THEIR MATTERS. Regan and his partner Sal Zambri were also involved as the lead plaintiffs’ counsel in the litigation against the D.C. Metro train system and others over a catastrophic June 2009 crash that killed nine and injured dozens of commuters. As a result of that litigation, significant safety reforms to the transit system were undertaken, with Metro upgrading its safety systems and overhauling its board of directors. “What I appreciate about this area of the law is that each case is unique and every client is different,” says Regan, who is board-certified in Civil Trial Advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. “Whether the case has a broader impact or not, it’s always satisfying to make a difference for people in need.” www.bestlawyers.com | 11

C OVER STORY

A Leader in Medical Malpractice Law Thirty years after its founding, Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. continues to secure some of the country’s highest results for medical negligence

his past September, a Baltimore judge approved a $190 million class action settlement for the more than 8,000 patients of a Johns Hopkins’ gynecologist who secretly photographed and filmed women during exams. This recovery is reputedly the largest settlement for a single-perpetrator sexual abuse case in the history of the United States. Jonathan Schochor, who chaired the plaintiffs’ steering committee and was lead counsel throughout the litigation, says, “The patients of Dr. Nikita Levy have experienced unimaginable trauma as result of his violations, and it’s very

gratifying to see that justice has been served.” Dr. Levy’s conduct of secretly taping and photographing his patients—in addition to alleged inappropriate verbiage and physical conduct—first became public in February 2013. Shortly thereafter, Schochor and his firm, Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A, met with about 2,000 of Dr. Levy’s former patients and filed the first class action complaint. “There was a huge outcry when Dr. Levy’s patients learned of this extraordinary breach of trust,” Schochor recalls. “They were afraid that they had been photographed

Each case is different. Past success does not guarantee a favorable result in any future case.

and that those photos had been uploaded to the internet; so, as you can imagine, they felt and still feel betrayed.” Consequently, Schochor adds, many of Levy’s former patients quit the medical system. They stopped seeing any obstetricians/gynecologists; they did not get their tests and studies. Many even stopped taking their children to their doctors and were dysfunctional in the workplace and at home with their spouses or significant others; many required counseling from religious leaders, professionals, and friends. “Our clients’ injuries and damages have continued through the present, and hopefully with this settlement they will finally be able to find the closure they need,” Schochor notes. Schochor filed the first complaint in the case, after which there followed about eight months of negotiation with the hospital. Subsequently, Schochor put together a steering committee and later filed a joint motion for class certification, both of which were approved. As lead counsel in the litigation, Schochor and his committee engaged various specialists to assist in preparing the case; they also notified Dr. Levy’s former patients of the lawsuit both through formal correspondence and by publicizing the case in newspapers and magazines, as well as on television, social media, and the internet. Moreover, a website was set up and telephone operators were made available to register clients—all pursuant to a notice plan approved by the court. “We believe that Dr. Levy had approximately 12,600 patients, and through these efforts the number of patients registered in the class action increased from 3,800 women at the time of certification to more than 8,000 women today,” Schochor says. With the settlement of $190 million now approved, the allocation process can begin; and Schochor notes that

he and his committee will be bringing in a team of medical and other experts who will evaluate each of the plaintiffs with respect to their individual damages. Eligible patients will then be placed into four tiers based on the level of harm they incurred. “This has been a very challenging case—we have been contacted by thousands of patients who have suffered because of Dr. Levy’s actions,” Schochor notes. “But we believe that with this recovery the community will be able to start moving forward again.” Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. has been fighting for injured patients and their families since 1984, when medical malpractice attorneys Schochor, Philip Federico, and Kerry Staton founded the firm to better represent medical malpractice victims. The firm has since become a fixture in the medical malpractice field, with approximately $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for its clients. I THINK THE REASON WE’RE STILL GOING STRONG THREE DECADES LATER IS BECAUSE WE BRING TO OUR CASES A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE, A RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF PERFECTION, AND AN EXTRAORDINARY DEGREE OF PREPARATION.

Among its recent results, Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. was involved in a $123 million settlement in another class action lawsuit, where the firm helped represent more than 1,400 plaintiffs affected by the former Delaware pediatrician Earl Bradley, who was accused of sexually abusing his young patients. “I think the reason we’re still going strong three decades later is because we bring to our cases a thorough knowledge of medicine, a relentless pursuit of perfection, and an extraordinary degree of preparation,” Schochor says. “We also have the financial resources to take on any insurance carrier or hospital. No matter what they spend, we can stay right with them on behalf of our clients.” www.bestlawyers.com | 13

Reinstein: When I talk to young lawyers, I often say that to be a good family lawyer you have to be an expert in many different areas—contracts, corporate work, accounting, tax matters, evidentiary issues. A good family lawyer is someone who has developed expertise in all of these areas and can therefore handle diverse cases with unique issues. As an example, if I’m dealing with a case involving horses, I have to become an expert on horses and the sale of horses. In another case I may have to become an expert on how restaurants are run or how funeral homes work. It’s a very interesting field of practice because the matters are so varied. How does a divorce impact the ownership and control of a family business? PJR: Talk about a challenging area. When you have these closely held family businesses, oftentimes the husband and wife are the only

shareholders, so the question becomes, who comes out of that divorce owning the business? In other cases, both spouses want to continue to be business partners even after they’re divorced, and because that has the potential to be problematic, the question there is how do you figure out a way for them to continue working together? Our approach has always been to first try and accomplish what the client wants us to accomplish; but generally we caution clients about continuing to do business with a former spouse. Since we’re discussing higher income cases, how does the court handle child support calculations where the income of a parent greatly exceeds the income ranges covered by child-support guidelines? PJR: For Maryland, the way the courts approach it is to essentially look at the level of income and the standard of living that the child has achieved or is capable of achieving based on that income. In essence, the more you make the more you pay because the court’s philosophy in Maryland is that the child should reap the benefit of having high income earning parents. For example, we have handled cases involving professional athletes with enormous incomes and those cases usually entail significant child support payments. So children of a high income earning family will be able to stay in private school or college during and after a divorce?

Paul J. Reinstein

PJR: If it’s a high income earning family then the court will often keep the child in private school to maintain stability for the child. However, that’s not necessarily true for college. While many states in the country have expanded the child support obligation to include payment of support when a child is in college, Maryland is not one of those jurisdictions. Like Virginia, Maryland only obligates a parent to pay child support through high school graduation.

OUR APPROACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO FIRST TRY AND ACCOMPLISH WHAT THE CLIENT WANTS US TO ACCOMPLISH. So it becomes a real problem if you are not able to negotiate an agreement where the parents both agree to contribute to college or one of the parents agrees to pay for college. If you end up in court, you’re not going to get the court to obligate

either parent to contribute to post-secondary education. What about in the area of alimony, does Maryland have guidelines there? PJR: One of the problems we see in Maryland is that unlike other states, Maryland does not have a formula for alimony like they do for child support—it’s all discretionary with the court. As a result, there’s a wide range of alimony payments from county to county depending on how typical it is for high-income families to come before the court. If you live in an outlying county that doesn’t have as high of an average standard of living, it’s difficult to get significant alimony awards. I often testify before the state legislature on these sorts of pressing family law issues, because the bottom line is we need a formula in place by statute so that we have more consistency statewide on alimony awards. www.bestlawyers.com | 15

International Arbitration Washington, DC ■ Jean Kalicki, a partner at Arnold & Porter LLP, has been focusing on international arbitration for 25 years, initially as counsel and now increasingly as an arbitrator. “At this point, more than half my time is spent serving as an arbitrator in international disputes and large complex commercial disputes,” Kalicki explains. “But I have a long history as counsel, particularly in disputes involving issues of public international law.” Indeed, Kalicki’s emphasis over the years has been on investor-State arbitration, where she represents both States and foreign investors in disputes under bilateral investment treaties and free trade agreements. For example, she has represented the successive governments of Hungary in five different investment disputes, and she is currently lead counsel to the government of South Korea in the largest investor-State dispute ever in Asia—a $4 billion claim. She has also sat as an arbitrator, including as

tribunal chair, in a number of similar cases. “What’s exciting about working in international arbitration is the dynamism of the law,” Kalicki notes. “Every case involves a different country, industry, and business problem, so there’s tremendous room for skilled advocacy and creative thinking.” Given her expertise, Kalicki is active in many of the world’s leading arbitral institutions. She is a member of the AAA Board of Directors, the LCIA Court, and the ICC Commission, and chairs the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’ Washington, D.C. Chapter and the D.C. Bar International Dispute Resolution Committee. She is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center and American University Washington College of Law.

Thomas G. Smith Plaintiffs’ Personal Injury Litigation Fairfax, VA ■ Although medical malpractice attorney Thomas Smith started out defending doctors and hospitals on behalf of insurance companies, he has for almost two decades now dedicated his practice solely to the victims of doctor or hospital errors. “What interested me about working on the plaintiffs’ side was that I could select cases I truly believe in,” Smith says. “I also get a lot of satisfaction out of obtaining compensation for injured persons, because it can change their quality of life.” This year represents the second time Smith has been selected as a Best Lawyers’ Washington, D.C. Lawyer of the Year; previously, he was named in 2012 for medical malpractice law. Moreover, Smith has been included in The Best Lawyers in America since 2006, and his firm, Shevlin Smith, has been ranked Tier 1 in Washington, D.C. for plaintiffs’

medical malpractice law by U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms.” “The key factor to being successful in these cases is exquisite preparation,” says Smith, who also serves on the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association’s Board of Governors. “We spend a lot of time readying our experts for crossexamination, and the same is true for our clients.” Still, more important to Smith than the honors he has received are the letters clients have sent after he has successfully resolved their cases: “Hearing that I have been able to make this whole process easier for my clients gives me more satisfaction than anything else I do in this business,” he notes. www.bestlawyers.com | 17

t goes without saying that most people working through domestic relations issues would prefer to resolve their problems as discreetly and expeditiously as possible. The attorneys at The Susan Hicks Group—a Virginia practice offering a multitude of family law services— understand that their role during their clients’ time of crisis is to keep a balanced view of the situation and offer guidance throughout this difficult period. The firm handles varied family law matters ranging from complex equitable distribution cases, involving business valuations, to volatile custody cases. While each case is unique, the firm operates under the premise that achieving resolution without litigation is almost always optimal for the client. However, if it becomes apparent that trial is necessary, the attorneys are prepared to litigate at the trial court level and through the appellate courts. Susan Hicks, the firm’s principal, is a seasoned trial attorney with more than 25 years of experience before numerous courts in Virginia. Each of the firm’s attorneys are experienced negotiators, able to accurately assess the client’s realistic options, and each appears regularly in court, vigorously advocating for the client. “It is always rewarding to me when people are able to look back at the process and feel it was not as horrendous as they had feared, and that I was able to help them get through it,” says Ms. Hicks, a fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and former chair of the Virginia State Bar Family Law Board of Governors.

he family law attorneys at Kuder, Smollar, Friedman & Mihalik, PC are adept at navigating clients through complex legal issues while remaining mindful of the emotional and psychological impact of the dispute resolution process. Serving clients in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, the firm handles all family law matters, including divorce; custody; and prenuptial, postnuptial, and cohabitation agreements. In addition, the firm has a strong LGBT practice and experience in matters related to assisted reproductive technologies and other issues facing modern families. Two of the firm’s attorneys, Armin U.

BENJAMIN J. TRICHILO PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAW

INTEGRITY. EXPERIENCE. RESULTS.

enjamin Trichilo has over 38 years of trial and appellate experience handling personal injury, workers’ compensation, and civil litigation. He is a graduate of the Georgetown University School of Business and the University of Virginia School of Law, and clerked for the Honorable Richard H. Poff of the Supreme Court of Virginia. Honors include Washington D.C. Area’s Best Lawyers , The Best Lawyers in America , Virginia Super Lawyers , and fellowship in the Litigation Counsel of America. For more than two decades, Martindale-Hubbell has conferred upon him its highest AV® rating. He is a frequent seminar speaker and continues many years of service as a mediator for the Fairfax Circuit Court. “I have litigated auto accidents, truck accidents, vehicle blind spot accidents, slip and fall injuries, closed head injuries, brain injuries, eye injuries, sexual assaults, bike trail accidents, wrongful death cases, shareholder disputes, and non-compete agreements; I have also handled precedent-setting cases and obtained many substantial recoveries. But every case is important. Our firm has the expertise and support staff to handle the large and complex legal problems, as well as the smaller ones. Successful case handling requires the ability to solve problems: through negotiation where possible; through litigation when necessary. But there is one simple, guiding principle: handle each case as if it is your own.”
