The Daily Record's 2023 Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice Law Power ListPARTNER
SCHOCHOR, STATON, GOLDBERG, AND CARDEA P.A.

With nearly 30 years of experience as a litigation and trial lawyer, James Cardea is a partner at Schochor, Staton, Goldberg and Cardea P.A.

Focusing his practice on medical malpractice, he has served as lead counsel on hundreds of cases in the region. Cardea has obtained a number of seven-figure settlements and jury verdicts for his clients.

He is a University of Baltimore School of Law and McDaniel College graduate.

What’s the most important thing you do in your job?

I help victims of medical negligence achieve financial compensation for their injuries as well as emotional closure. As a litigator, I strive to tenaciously advocate for my clients while being compassionate, professional and courteous.

What is one aspect of your profession you would like to change?

I would like to implement a formal mentoring program for new lawyers. I remain grateful to the experienced attorneys who spent their time helping me, as a recent law school graduate, navigate the challenges of civil litigation.

If you weren’t in this profession, what would you be doing?

Prior to attending law school, I briefly pursued a career in sports broadcasting. If I did not become a lawyer, I think I would be still involved in the sports industry as either a broadcaster or coach.
