A: I'm sure there are. Use a platform, such as Justia, to try to find someone who practices in medical malpractice, AND who has done dental malpractice. But Mr. Black does raise a good concern: if your damages are small, the contingency fee incentive for a lawyer to take your case may be too small.

A: As already mentioned, a med mal attorney experienced with dental claims would have to assess the level of damages at hand, and weigh those in a contingency fee arrangement. And it could take effort to determine those, evaluating the work and also reviewing past dental history. You could consult with an attorney, and in preparation, be ready to gather contact information for past dental work.
