MEDICAL AND LEGAL EXPERIENCE

Paul J. Molinaro has been practicing urgent care medicine for thirty years. The fast pace, the wide range of illness and trauma, and the patients from every walk of life allow Paul to truthfully say there is not much he has not seen in medicine. This means that there is not much that Paul will not know about the injuries, harm, and suffering experienced by his personal injury or medical malpractice clients. Having practiced law for fifteen years, Paul is able to seamlessly combine his medical expertise with every case involving a client who has been physically or emotionally hurt. 

TYPICAL CASES

Paul J. Molinaro, M.D., J.D. handles cases where a person has been injured whether in a motor vehicle accident, by a defective product, a careless health care provider, or a dangerous prescription medication. All of these types of cases have, at their core, a person who has been physically harmed. Completely understanding not only the degree of harm suffered but what needs to be done to heal the client is one of the many things that sets Paul apart from other lawyers. Furthermore, he not only knows the medicine but can explain the injuries in simple, layman's, terms so that a jury can fully understand his client's damages.
