Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs
When I read my husband's Death Certificate in December of 2017, I was stunned to see the reasons listed for his death in black and white on this final, legal document. It was painfully obvious to me and my family that his doctors and hospital personnel had consistently lied to us about his condition and their medical mistakes. That, along with continued lack of professional medical care, had caused his death. In our devastation, we decided to pursue our quest for answers as to how this happened through the use of our legal system. I will be eternally grateful that I found Mary Schultz Law when I "googled" best lawyers in my area and her name was at the top of the list. After reading her background and professional reviews, I called the office and spoke with her legal assistant about my situation. When Mary called back shortly thereafter, I was impressed with her knowledge; however, was especially drawn to her integrity and honesty in her presentation of the facts about malpractice lawsuits. Mary was clear about the extensive time that would be required to establish the burden of proof in our suit, involving thorough investigation and legal scrutiny. She also cautioned us about the emotional turmoil we would experience in the pursuit of justice for wrongful death. At her request, we sent Mary the information she needed via medical records and personal documentation. After careful consideration, Mary determined we had cause for legal action. We felt our anger and anguish were validated; and when she agreed to take on our case, we were confident we would be successful in our search for justice. My husband, John, had been a football/basketball coach for years and it was appropriate that Mary became our "Team Coach". She used her outstanding legal skills to achieve the ultimate goal of understanding how, when and what medical mistakes were made. Mary tirelessly maneuvered through the maze of misinformation, inadequate record-keeping and reluctant cooperation of the responsible medical parties. Ultimately, she was able to fit together all of the puzzle pieces to complete the picture and prove medical negligence. Her ability to break down complex medical data and present a compelling, strategic argument was impressive and resulted in negotiating a settlement that not only satisfied our need for justice and helped us financially; it also saved us a long, drawn-out courthouse trial that we did not have to endure. I think what truly sets Mary apart from most attorneys is her unwavering commitment to finding justice for the families who would otherwise be overlooked, forgotten or lost in the impersonal world of medicine. She approached our case with meticulous attention to detail, relentless advocacy and genuine compassion for our family's loss. Her communication with us was always clear and thorough and we felt supported and informed throughout the lengthy legal process. On a side note, Mary managed to make us feel this way despite added obstacles due to our move to another state and months of COVID interfering with the legal process. I highly recommend Mary and her staff at Mary Schultz Law to anyone seeking justice to right a medical wrong. You will never regret your decision.
