A formidable and compassionate advocate in a complex case

When our clinic faced a complex medical malpractice lawsuit, we turned to Besse McDonald at Meagher + Geer. Her decade of experience in health care liability defense was immediately evident. Besse guided us meticulously through every phase of litigation, from discovery to the brink of trial, with a calm and strategic approach. Her deep understanding of both legal procedure and medical nuance, honed from her recognized work in this field, was invaluable. She was not only a consummate professional but also personally invested in protecting our reputation. The positive resolution she achieved allowed us to move forward with confidence. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
