Many people in need of legal advice contact an attorney they know or are referred by their friends or family. Because medical malpractice cases require specialized knowledge, some attorneys prefer to refer their medical malpractice cases to an attorney whose legal practice is focused in this arena. There are a variety of reasons why a referral may be necessary or desirable. For example, an attorney may refer a case because he or she:

• Does not practice in this area of law.
• Is not interested in trying cases.
• Believes local counsel has specific knowledge pertaining to the geographic area in which the case will be heard which will improve the outcome.
• Cannot take the case because of a conflict of interest.
• Believes the case should be handled by a firm capable of managing the workload and complexity of a medical malpractice case.
• Does not wish to represent the client due to financial, personal or other non-legal reasons.
