Our firm, Phillips P. O'Shaughnessy, P.A., practices out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and accepts engagements in Baltimore, DC, and New York, jurisdictions in which Mr. O'Shaughnessy is a member of the bar. For example, Mr. O'Shaughnessy currently (June 2005) represents Florida residents in a breach of fudiciary duty civil action against a New York law firm in federal court in New York. Mr. O'Shaughnessy's focus is on professional malpractice, especially on cases concerning the failures of attorneys to meet their duties to their clients; the diagnostic and surgical mistakes of physicians, such as the failures to timely diagnose breast cancer and other cancers and the negligent performance of gall bladder surgery, and claims against hospitals for their failures to protect patient safety and well-being, for example for the failure to establish and implement protocols to prevent fall injuries to patients under their care.
