Dr. Dantes offers an initial telephone consultation without charge. If his services are retained, he will review pertinent medical records and formulate an opinion as to whether the standard of care was met, and whether any breach of duty directly contributed to an injury.
According to feedback which Dr. Dantes has received from previous clients, he can identify the key areas of a case, formulate an authoritative opinion, and articulate this in a manner which is easy to comprehend. His objectivity is appreciated. Clients have mentioned that Dr. Dantes is frequently able to expedite a report, if it is time-sensitive, and that a jury would not object to his compensation, which is reasonable.
In the unlikely event that travel from Hawaii is required, Dr. Dantes will work with you to arrive at mutually-agreeable and affordable terms.
