What We Do
Ms. Poljak concentrates her practice in the areas of litigation, primarily medical malpractice and personal injury as
well as in mediation. She has represented patients as well as
doctors and hospitals.
Litigation
When “parties” or people are unable to resolve a dispute through agreement, often the facts are presented before a court including a judge and jury in the form of a trial. The types of disputes vary greatly. Ms. Poljak focuses her litigation practice in the areas of medical malpractice and personal injury. As a nurse for nearly fifteen years before beginning to practice law, Ms. Poljak has a keen understanding of the intricate medical issues that form the basis for a case in which a patient has been the victim of medical malpractice or a person has been injured at the hand of another.
Litigation involves an often lengthy process of investigation, exchange of information eventually leading up to pre-trial, trial and at times post-trial events.
Mediation
Contrary to litigation, mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. In this forum, the parties come together to reach an agreement through discussion, at times presentation of evidence or exhibits and eventually a meeting of the minds. As a certified mediator, Ms. Poljak is trained to facilitate these types of sessions.
Conflicts can range from something as simple as a neighborhood dispute to a more complicated contract or employment issue. What makes this particular vehicle attractive is that it can be personalized, timely and it gives the parties more control over the resolution.
