“Our daughter died in surgery, leaving her husband and two small daughters. Since she was a major income producer in her family their situation could have been as financially devastating as it was emotional. No one is ever happy with results of a malpractice case; not totally. Paul worked exceedingly hard to find a solution that both sides could live with saving us and especially our son-in-law the pain of trial.”
