San Francisco, CA medical malpractice attorney Nathaniel Leeds discusses why he became a lawyer and the most rewarding aspect of his practice. He shares that he has always been a naturally curious person, and early in life, he encountered attorneys who impressed him with their broad knowledge across many subjects. This exposure sparked his interest in the legal profession, which ultimately proved to be an ideal fit. For him, the role of a lawyer is not only about possessing knowledge but also about uncovering the truth. Clients turn to attorneys to investigate and determine what happened to them or their loved ones. It is this investigatory aspect of litigation that first drew him to the law and continues to make the practice rewarding.

One of the most fulfilling parts of his work is representing clients who have suffered severe injuries. By the end of representation, he and his firm are often able to secure financial support that enables clients to live with dignity and comfort—something they may not have achieved otherwise.

He also finds deep satisfaction in representing clients against highly respected and sophisticated professionals and institutions, including doctors and hospitals. Many individuals lack the knowledge or confidence to question medical professionals when mistakes occur. His role is to empower these clients, to scrutinize the actions of doctors and hospitals, and to ask the critical questions that bring the truth to light. Helping clients who might otherwise feel powerless challenge institutions and achieve justice is, for him, among the most meaningful aspects of his career.
