Firm: Ramos Law

Hello, my name is Dr. Joseph Ramos. During my career as an ER physician providing expert medical testimony, I realized that I could help others even more with a career in law which led me to earn my degree from the University of Denver in 2008. I learned as a medical expert that injuries are much more about understanding the medicine than the law itself. When presenting injuries to a jury or an insurance company, it’s important to understand and then explain injuries and their complexities.  It’s a unique position to hold knowledge and experience in both law and medicine.  I am happy to share my knowledge and have done so as an invited speaker at the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association annual conference.  I was admitted to practice at the Colorado Supreme Court and was also appointed to the Colorado Medical Society’s Workers’ Compensation/Personal injury Committee and serves as the Vice Chair on that committee.  Additionally, I have provided testimony that set case precedent in Colorado on injury causation standards.. I love helping others. This care of others started at a young age when I would watch my parents assist stranded travelers in our rural central Nevada town.  I watched his dad fix tires for free at our family owned gas station, and even fill up someone’s gas tank when they didn’t have any money.  I met many people who would stay overnight in our home when the weather was too dangerous for travel.  It was commonplace to see a new face at the dinner table.. I may have grown up and left my small town, but the values my parents instilled in me have carried over to my firm at Ramos Law.  The Ramos Law philosophy is simple…to take good care of good people.  The other attorneys and I take our roles very seriously; we realize that getting clients on the road to recovery is of the utmost importance.   The team at Ramos Law works hard to achieve the very best outcome for each and every client we serve.

Firm: Morgenstern Injury Lawyers (Main Office)

Michael S. Morgenstern's dedication to representing the rights of average citizens hurt by big companies stems from his own small town upbringing. His father, Carl, a Harvard Law School graduate, disliked 'big corporate law,’ opting instead for the 'common touch' by practicing general law in the small town of Hamilton, Ohio. As a boy, Morgenstern worked in his father's law practice after school learning the skills that would later lay the moral and business structure foundation he would need for his successful law practice today.Graduating from American University Law in 1978, Morgenstern began his legal career clerking for Judge James B. Parsons who was the Chief Judge of the United States Federal District Court in Chicago and also the first African-American federal judge in the history of the United States. After completing the clerkship, Morgenstern joined the 9th largest law firm in the country, Weil, Gotshal & Manges, in its New York City office. Not satisfied working on cases with "nameless faces,” Morgenstern left corporate law to become an instructor at Brooklyn Law School. While at Brooklyn Law, he wrote several treatises and law review articles focusing on the rights of victims and consumers. During this process of research and writing, Morgenstern realized that he missed practicing law; only this time, like his father, he was drawn to helping people with real issues.In 1988, Morgenstern moved to the Washington, DC area to establish his own practice dedicated solely to representing the injured. Today, with offices in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, Morgenstern Injury Lawyers consists of attorneys who follow Michael's approach to meticulous attentive client service.“We accept a smaller number of cases per year than most other personal injury law firms so that all of our clients get the attention I would expect if I had been injured. My job is not simply the practice of law,” says Morgenstern. "My job is to help put my clients and their families' lives back together after something bad has happened. My clients have already been injured once; my responsibility is to take steps to insure no further harm is done.”Morgenstern's impressive record of verdicts and settlements proves that his approach works. Among these was a landmark $59.7 million verdict against Toyota Motor Corporation and a $3.35 million settlement with Metrobus.The combination of solid legal know-how and the moral commitment to help all citizens has earned Michael S. Morgenstern an "A-V Preeminant" rating for 30 years - the highest rating for both legal ability and ethical standards - from Martindale-Hubbell. He is also repeatedly named a "Top Lawyer" by Washingtonian Magazine and elected to Maryland and DC SuperLawyers.
