A Lifesaver After a Devastating Medical Error

After a surgical error left my father with permanent complications, our family was lost. We consulted several firms, but meeting Allen Schwartz at Schwartz Jambois was different. His 41 years of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in medical malpractice for plaintiffs, was immediately evident. He didn't just see a case file; he understood the human cost. Mr. Schwartz explained that his background, including his early years at William D. Maddux & Associates and his deep roots in Chicago-Kent's legal community, gave him a unique perspective on Cook County courts. He meticulously assembled a team of medical experts to dissect the standard of care. What impressed me most was his strategic patience—a trait honed over four decades. He was never rushed by the insurance company's tactics. The result was a settlement that secured my father's long-term care needs, far exceeding our initial hopes. His dual recognition in both plaintiff and defendant personal injury litigation speaks to a balanced, formidable skill set. For anyone facing the complex aftermath of medical negligence, Allen Schwartz is the advocate you want in your corner.
