Re: malpractice suit
Did you speak with a medical malpractice attorney?
There are, on occasion, liens which be paid back from the proceeds of a successful medical malpractice lawsuit, regardless of which attorney does the case. I have never heard of the particular arrangement you describe.
You might have misunderstood.
If you are uncertain if this is the lawyer you want to do your case, you might consider a second opinion.
