is a medical malpractice lawyer the same as a obgyn lawyer

Most likely, yes.  Most attorneys who advertise a practice area as medical malpractice do not further specify from t here.  However, if you have found an attorney who states that they specialize in OBGYN medical malpractice cases, it likely means that they have focused on a lot of OBGYN medical malpractice cases. If your potential case involves OBGYN issues, it may be best to go with an attorney who has had experience in such cases.  Best of luck!
