Exceptional Defense in a Complex Medical Malpractice Case

When our medical practice was faced with a serious and complex malpractice lawsuit, the stress was overwhelming. We needed an attorney who was not only a skilled litigator but who truly understood the intricate world of healthcare defense. Colleen Shea of Cranfill Sumner was that attorney. From our first consultation in her Charlotte office, her deep expertise was evident. She has a remarkable ability to dissect voluminous medical records and translate complex procedures into clear, defensible positions. Her nine years of focused experience, particularly in medical malpractice defense, were invaluable. Colleen meticulously prepared our team, anticipating every argument the plaintiff's counsel might raise. Her strategic approach was calm and measured, yet fiercely protective of our reputation and interests. It was no surprise to learn she has been recognized by Best Lawyers; her performance throughout the discovery process and pre-trial negotiations was masterful. Ultimately, Colleen secured a dismissal of the case before it ever reached a courtroom, saving us from an arduous trial. Her professionalism, combined with a genuine personal commitment to our success, made an incredibly difficult situation manageable. We cannot recommend Colleen Shea highly enough for any healthcare entity or professional facing litigation.
