About Us
What Our Clients Say
“…the case eventually went to trial and on May 23, 2008, the jury returned a verdict of $2,500,000 against UPMC Shadyside. The jury also took the unique act of writing a statement blaming Mike’s death on the lack of training and supervision of nurses at UPMC Shadyside. Throughout the process what impressed me …was their accessibility and willingness to clearly explain things…to investigate to find out what really happened and, if malpractice did occur, they will aggressively work to ensure that those responsible are made accountable for their actions.” – Erik Rettger, Pgh, PA
