You need an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice. The Nevada State Bar does not allow attorneys to advertise that they specialize in an area unless they have a certification from some board. I am not aware of a medical malpractice specialty board. But you need an attorney who does a lot of medical malpractice cases. Your case is also complicated by the fact that a claim against a VA hospital is a claim against the United States so special rules apply.
