A Lifeline After a Devastating Medical Error

After a surgical error left my husband with permanent complications, we were lost. Rebecca Walsh and her team at Reiter & Walsh became our lifeline. With over three decades of experience, including her recognition as a Lawyer of the Year, her deep knowledge of medical malpractice law was immediately evident. She patiently explained the complex medical and legal issues, managed our expectations, and fought tenaciously. Her 34 years of practice, marked by numerous multi-million dollar results, gave us confidence during a very dark time. The settlement she secured has provided for my husband's long-term care and given our family peace of mind. Her professionalism and genuine compassion are unmatched.
