“Rick and Kevin’s partnership, I think, made this very successful. I was very satisfied with the results. They were very detailed and thorough in what they pursued for me.
In 2010, I went to the hospital for a laparoscopic hysterectomy with physicians there. The surgery resulted in a catastrophic situation, and I had to be operated on by vascular surgeons to interfere and save my life.
My father is a physician, and he was with me when I had the hysterectomy surgery and then stayed with me afterward. My father is the one that actually pushed me to pursue the malpractice lawsuit along, with other members of my family even though I was reluctant at first because it’s the medical field that I grew up around it and understood, you know, I can stand on – I’d always been on the other side of the fence.
At trial, Rick and Kevin used slideshows and audiovisuals and it was helpful to show the jury the whole picture of what had happened. The expert witness doctor that they brought in, Ashley, in actual examples of medical tools and then they used video clips to show what if the surgery had been done with proper medical procedure and how it would have resulted rather than what actually happened at surgery.
My father was not able to be at the trial, but his testimony was key. Rick Shapiro and Kevin Duffin, they arranged for him to be interviewed at the hospital where he works. They kept in touch with me, especially Rick. Rick called me, sent me photos of all the paperwork that has come in since the trial has ended. And it’s been a very positive result.”
