Each case is different and each client is unique. Each case must be judged on its own merits, its own facts, and its own unique and individual circumstances. Success in one case is not a guarantee of success in any other case. Below are a few examples of real cases involving real clients so you can see in what types of cases we have experience in handling:

Medical Malpractice Settlement
We represented a patient in a medical malpractice case involving a retained foreign object that was left behind after surgery. Our client underwent a surgical procedure. After the procedure, she developed an infection that would not resolve.

The case was settled without litigation.
