Our daughter fell ill shortly after birth. During birth she contracted a bacteria, GBS. She experience late onset of the disease. It turned to Meningitis, and caused a stroke. She is now blind, her brain is severely damaged, and her muscle tone is low. The whole thing could have been prevented had my doctor given the antibiotics that were administered the whole 4 hours to work instead of speeding along my labor.
Our attorney has had our records for 6 months. The hospital withheld part of our records 3 different times. We have a meeting next week. Does this mean we have a case? Would our attorney waste the time of a meeting to just let us down gently?

There are a million reasons why some attorney would want to meet with his clients. Keeping the client informed, for instance. i cannot guess why this particular lawyer wants this particular meeting with this particular client.

There is no way to know, but my sense is that your attorney is going to be giving you the pros and the cons of moving forward - otherwise, he wouldn't be meeting with you in person. Either that, or the hospital has made an offer to settle that he wants to discuss with you. My guess is that it's not going to be great news - but it doesn't sound as though it will be awful news either. (In either of those scenarios, the attorney would likely just tell you on the phone.)
Why didn't you simply ask the attorney for the reason for the meeting? You can also call the office and ask for this information.
