With its emphasis on insurance defense and medical malpractice litigation, the law firm of MANDELBAUM, ELLERTON & McBRIDE was founded by attorneys Kim Irene Mandelbaum, Marie Ellerton and Robert McBride who together bring over fifty years of experience to the courtroom on behalf of their clients. The firm's litigation philosophy emphasizes resourceful and aggressive handling, adapted to the particular needs of each case. The firm's handling objectives are: 1. Early evaluation and the development of a defense strategy and litigation plan; 2. Prompt and incisive execution of the litigation plan; 3. Regular reporting to the client; and 4. Pre-trial extrication, settlement or successful trials. Cost effectiveness and positive results are our primary goals. As the above list of fees and costs reflects, our fees are competitive and, when coupled with our handling philosophy, enable us to achieve these goals. We continually strive to fulfill and exceed our clients' needs and expectations. We are a small law firm which takes pride in providing personalized service to our clients and are happy to tailor our billing and reporting procedures to suit any client's specific needs. Our goal is to supply clients' necessary legal services in the most efficient and effective manner possible.
