Nathaniel Leeds

Nathaniel Leeds is a San Francisco-based attorney at Mitchell Leeds, LLP, in California, with a profound focus on medical malpractice. The son of a doctor, he developed an early understanding of the crucial role that quality health care plays in society and the repercussions when it fails. His practice is broad, representing clients across various areas, including medical malpractice, wrongful death, insurance bad faith, contract disputes and personal injury.

Mr. Leeds’ upbringing in a medical household has equipped him with the unique ability to engage confidently with well-credentialed medical professionals and complex medical literature. His extensive knowledge and adept handling of these cases provide substantial comfort and support to clients during some of their most challenging times. He is driven by a commitment to securing justice, compensation and recognition for his clients, as well as advocating for their right to dignity and respect.

A strong believer in accountability, Mr. Leeds often reflects on the role of malpractice litigation in reinforcing democratic values within the health care system. He believes that the role that malpractice litigation plays in our health care system is a testament to the beautiful democratic ideal that each of us is entitled to dignity and respect. No person or institution is so powerful or prestigious that the least among us cannot demand answers and accountability. This perspective fuels his passion for law and motivates him to fight vigorously for those wronged by more powerful entities.

Mr. Leeds' academic credentials include an A.B. from The University of Chicago, obtained in 1998, followed by a J.D. from the UC Law San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings), in 2006.
