Our Saratoga Springs Office

Representing Individuals and Families In the Saratoga-Capital District Area

You pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you

Trusted and Award-Winning Representation

We are proud of our work, representing clients in medical malpractice cases in the Saratoga and Capital District area.

We have deep roots in the area. The principal attorney of the firm, Laurence Deutsch, was born and raised in Saratoga, attended Saratoga High, and college at nearby Union College. So, while we bring cases in the Downstate counties as well, we maintain a strong interest in serving residents of Saratoga and surrounding counties. And, we like to think that our local knowledge and experience helps give us insight into the involved medical practices. And, if a case goes to trial, we feel that our background in the area helps us to understand the values concerns of the jury that will ultimately be hearing the case.

When we investigate malpractice claims, we approach them with respect for the effort many of our local professionals put in. But we also know that even the “best” area hospitals and providers can sometimes fail their patients. We know what to look for in the records, and in the stories brought in-person by our clients. Often the difference between good care, and malpractice causing great harm, results from gaps in communication, or a busy “Attending” physician delegating too much to a resident, or a primary care practice just not keeping up with guidelines on healthcare screening.

At Deutsch Law Firm, we offer strategic, detail-oriented legal representation for those harmed by medical negligence. Whether it’s a failed procedure, a misdiagnosis, or a critical oversight, we focus on one goal: holding providers accountable and securing rightful compensation for our clients.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or hospital doesn’t deliver the “standard of care” either as set forth by a recognized medical authority or fails to provide a “reasonable” level of care, as would be defined by medical experts. We’ve seen a lot, including in the Saratoga region, and we know what to look for.

We believe that in Upstate New York, a successful malpractice claim requires a combination of overall legal expertise, and understanding of the people and institutions of the area.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle in Saratoga Springs

I have been meaning to write to you to say “Thank you,” for all the work. You believed in us right from the start. Your integrity and professionalism were truly exceptional, and very much appreciated! I wish I had been there when the jury came back. My husband called me at work and I started to cry. From what I hear, your summation was just fabulous. You should be so proud.
Sincerely,
Mrs. D.”
