MyAdvocates Giles Manley: Helping Families is My Joy

Parents looking for the truth about what caused their child's cerebral palsy need closure, one way or the other, and helping them find that relief is one of the joys of his job, says Dr. Giles Manley, attorney with Janet, Jenner & Suggs.

As a practicing obstetrician for more than 20 years, Dr. Manley reviews medical records to see if negligence played a part in a child's cerebral palsy. Even if malpractice was not involved, he spends time with parents explaining what happened and what may have caused their child's disorder. Often as the result of hearing what happened step-by-step, parents stop blaming themselves for something over which they had no control. "I get to reassure them that it wasn't their fault. I get a lot of joy out of that," he says.
Dr. Manley is part of a team of attorneys and medical professionals at Janet, Jenner & Suggs who concentrate in the area of birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy. Ask us for a free consultation about whether your child's cerebral palsy was the result of medical error.
