A History of Success

google-rating
In 2019 my son fell victim to medical malpractice at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). A surgeon's negligence resulted in a debilitating stroke with right sided paralysis, speech aphasia and bowel/urinary incontinence. He spent months in rehabilitation. Further, this action completely destroyed his life. He was essentially an invalid. My wife and I had to provide for his every need. He lost his dignity and our hearts were crushed. Fear and grief were constant companions. The surgeon's error also deprived him from receiving necessary treatment which likely would have saved his life but sadly my son did not survive his disease. This entire ordeal lasted almost four years. During this time, we could not find an attorney willing to represent us in a malpractice action. We were losing hope. However, I met Derek Layser, Esq. a few weeks prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations. He and Brett Kaminsky, Esq., got right to work. They guided us through the process and fought hard for our family. Eventually, Derek and Brett secured a significant recovery when an arbitration judge ruled in our favor. While we will never recover from the grief of losing our deeply loved son, we will always remember and appreciate the kindness and support by the team at Friedman, Schuman and Layser. We highly recommend you contact their firm today.

I cannot thank Brett and his team enough for their professionalism, dedication, and compassion throughout my case. From the very beginning, they explained every step clearly, kept me informed, and always made me feel like a priority. Their expertise and attention to detail gave me complete confidence, and the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Brett and his team to anyone in need of strong and supportive legal representation.
