A formidable and knowledgeable advocate in a complex case

Our hospital system retained Mr. Federowicz and his team at Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote to defend a complex medical malpractice claim involving alleged surgical complications. From the outset, his deep expertise in defending healthcare providers was evident. With over 13 years of focused practice and his recognition by Best Lawyers, he brought a commanding yet calm presence to a high-stakes situation. His methodical approach to dissecting the plaintiff's expert reports and his strategic guidance during depositions were invaluable. He possesses a rare ability to explain intricate legal and medical concepts in a way our internal risk management committee could readily understand, which was crucial for our decision-making. While his billing rates are commensurate with his stature and the quality of his work, the overall cost did escalate somewhat due to the case's complexity, which, while expected, required careful internal budgeting. The matter was resolved favorably before trial, a testament to his skill in building an unassailable defense. I would confidently recommend Richard Federowicz to any medical institution or professional in the Pittsburgh area seeking a top-tier defense attorney.
