Michael Barth

Expert and Compassionate Guidance Through a Complex Medical Malpractice Case

I engaged Michael Barth of Lashly & Baer after my medical practice faced a complex malpractice lawsuit. With over 26 years of experience and his specific recognition in Health Care Law and Medical Malpractice Defense, he was precisely the counsel we needed. Michael’s deep understanding of both the legal landscape and the nuances of healthcare operations in St. Louis was immediately apparent. He didn't just see the case as a legal file; he understood the profound professional and personal stakes involved for our team. His strategic approach, honed from decades of practice since his graduation from Saint Louis University School of Law, was meticulous. He prepared us for every deposition and hearing with a clarity that demystified a very stressful process. While his expertise is undeniable—and the recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved—there were moments where communication response times could lag slightly during particularly busy periods, which added a bit of anxiety. However, this was a minor point in an otherwise outstanding representation. The case was resolved favorably, protecting our practice's reputation. I highly recommend Michael for any healthcare entity or professional facing litigation.
