About Philip
Greg Haddad is a strategic, compassionate, and award-winning trial lawyer who fights to obtain justice, as well as peace of mind, for his clients with medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, and drug and medical device cases. Greg holds two not-so-secret aces up his sleeve: (1) he is a former licensed pharmacist with extensive training in chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and human anatomy and physiology; and (2) a portion of his career as a junior lawyer included defending medical malpractice cases, so he knows tactics defense counsel can use to try to thwart even the most compelling cases.
In addition to Greg’s ability to skillfully synthesize and explain complicated legal and medical concepts, he also uniquely supports families who may be experiencing the hardest times of their lives. Greg knows first-hand from his own family how challenging it can be to face serious medical challenges, so he brings a deep compassion and listening ability that supports those who feel they have nowhere else to turn.
Known as an aggressive and successful trial lawyer, Greg has tried over 90 cases to verdict. Greg has also resolved hundreds of cases for clients through settlement – and his ability to take a case confidently to trial (which not all attorneys have the skill to do) is a factor that may influence the ability to beneficially settle matters to our clients’ satisfaction.
For nearly 30 years, Greg has represented clients in state and federal courts across the country in medical malpractice, drug and medical device litigation, and catastrophic personal injury cases. Greg handles cases including:
- Surgical malpractice, including in the areas of gynecological, cosmetic, neurological, abdominal, hip, and knee
- cardiac procedures and delays in treatment of cardiac conditions
- delay in diagnosis of cancer
- birth injuries
- traumatic brain injury
- stroke cases
- defective medical devices, drugs, and consumer products
- for veterans, delays in receiving adequate or appropriate care from the Veterans Administration
Clients value Greg’s unique legal and medical experience, ability to offer strategic and practical solutions, and his deep dedication to their needs and concerns. Having started his pharmaceutical career working in his father’s community pharmacy, Greg learned the importance of going beyond only offering a professional service, but how to really be there for people during the most difficult times in their lives.
