LAWSUITS

Barry Brock & Cedars Sinai Lawsuits

OB/GYN Barry J. Brock, M.D., is facing multiple lawsuits by female patients who say he subjected them to sexual exploitation and abuse. The recent court filings show a pattern of misconduct and abuse that spans the course of Brock’s 40-year-long career at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Beverly Hills OB/GYN Clinic.

The sexual assault & medical malpractice lawsuits that ​were recently filed against Brock include claims of sexual ​exploitation and negligence, indicating that at least two of ​the children that Brock delivered ended up suffering ​permanent brain damage due to Brock’s failure to perform a ​timely cesarean delivery.

Robert Hadden Sexual Abuse Cases

Robert Hadden, a disgraced Obstetrician-Gynecologist (OB/GYN) who worked for Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, was criminally convicted in 2016 of sexually exploiting and abusing patients under the guise of medical care.
Hadden used his position of authority and trust to sexually exploit women and girls for nearly 25 years as a Columbia University physician.
All the while, Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital administrators turned their backs and ignored reports of Hadden’s abuse, gaslighting patients and the public.

Darius Paduch Sexual Abuse Cases

Evidence continues to emerge regarding Darius Paduch’s patterns of performing inappropriate and medically unnecessary “diagnostic techniques” that included digitally raping men without gloves, medically unnecessary follow-up appointments designed solely to allow Paduch to further sexually abuse patients, and grooming minor patients over text messages. While pretending to be a urologist at a well-known medical institution in New York City, Paduch used his power and position of trust in order to sexually exploit and abuse victims under the guise of medical treatment.
Paduch is now facing a federal criminal prosecution, as well as 60 years in prison. Since the first lawsuit was filed back in December, dozens of more patients have now come forward to join the civil lawsuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

We only work on a contingency basis. That means you don’t pay anything unless we win. If we don’t win, then you don’t owe us anything.
If you’re speaking with a lawyer, and they ask you to pay money upfront for things like court fees or the cost of an expert to review your medical records, run! You don’t have to come to me. But go to someone else. No lawyer worth their salt will charge you anything out of pocket to handle a case like this. And that’s important for two reasons. If a lawyer is willing to take your case on a contingency fee, it means: (1) they believe in your case, and (2) they believe in themselves. In order for us to get any legal fees, we have to win your case.
I understand how difficult it can be when trying to come to terms with what happened.

Our Founder Anthony T. DiPietro, Esq. was recently selected as one of the Top 10 Trial Attorneys in the Country in cases involving Women’s Rights. He’s also one of the nation’s Top 100 Litigators amongst all legal specialties. Mr DiPietro personally handles all of our cases for litigation, settlement negotiations and trials. When you’re searching for a law firm, make sure to choose one that actually litigates and tries cases. So many firms out there are nothing more than “mills” that are adverse for cases but then send their clients out to other law firms to do the work. The reason they do this is that they make money off of referral fees and not actually doing legal work. If you end up with one of those firms, you’ll never know who will actually be working on your case or what their lawyers’ level of expertise is. Over the past two decades, our attorneys have been dedicated to representing victims and survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as patient safety. We keep all of the cases “in house” and never refer them out to other law firms.
