Testimonials
Dr. Harvey Mahler is an excellent dental expert. A rare find in the dental profession. He knows how to frame the story of the profession’s relationship to disciplinary proceedings, dental malpractice, and criminal matters in a sensible sequence of events for the factfinder.
Attorney - SOUTH DAKOTA
I have worked with Dr. Mahler on multiple dental malpractices. On every case Dr. Mahler proved to be an invaluable resource. First and foremost, Dr. Mahler is a real gentleman. He is always pleasant and accessible. He always took the time to learn what issues I was pursuing in a case. He would then carefully review the records and give me a candid, thorough assessment of the issues I had identified. And more often than not, he would often spot and evaluate other potential issues. He is always willing to explain the technical aspects of the case as discuss developments and strategies as the case unfolds. Dr. Mahler is always a terrific resource in preparing for the depositions of defendants and experts. And each time Dr. Mahler told me that I had a meritorious case, the defendant eventually resolved the matter through settlement - typically early in the case. I look forward to working with Dr. Mahler on other cases in the future.
