Eric Henry not only represented myself, but my family as well when we were in need of legal counsel. Because of his kind, caring, and friendly demeanor, my husband and I now consider him a friend of the family. He would constantly reach out to see how our family was doing throughout the duration of the case. Eric always answered his phone or responded back quickly. After hearing from a judge and magistrate regarding how well he represented my case, it came as no surprise why he was successful in winning my case. Eric Henry comes highly recommended by us, not only for his skill and knowledge for law, but most certainly how he treats and cares for his clients.

Eric Henry, I have nothing but respect for this Lawyer! He took my case when everyone told me that I didn't have one. He took my case and said I only had to pay if we won...which meant he worked hard for our money. We may have settled out of court...but we settled! Even when I was told there was no settlement to be had by other Lawyers. So for not having a case...$45,000 is not a bad settlement! 5 STARS!! 5 THUMBS UP!! I would recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone!!

Initially, Mr. Novak thoroughly reviewed the medical malpractice case details regarding my father. He was recommended due to his years of experience. Mr. Novak secured pertinent medical records and conducted meaningful interviews with patient, family members and friends. Mr. Novak's ability to effectively collaborate and demonstrate compassionate interpersonal skills developed trusting relationships with all parties involved in the case. His ability to demonstrate excellent analytical skills, research the necessary information, understand the information and record the information in a written format that all parties could understand resulted in reasonable solutions. At all times, Mr. Novak composed himself professionally, logically and demonstrated creativity with reasonable judgments when problems and unique circumstances occurred. He was accessible, willing to put in the time and effort necessary and demonstrated both presentation and negotiation talent with persuasiveness. Finally, Mr. Novak was able to achieve a satisfying mutual agreement from all parties involved that resulted in a reasonable outcome, for my father. I would support Mr. Novak without hesitation with an outstanding recommendation to anyone in need of his services.

I cannot find the words to praise Mr. Kral and his team. They are the best of the best. Trustworthy is not even enough for them. Before I retained Mr. Kral I went though four other attorneys that their main goal was to take my money and move on. They have done nothing Mr. Kral was my last hope for my family and I and I cannot thank my lucky stars for Mr. Kral he is really a very knowledgeable attorney and very very helpful and hardworking . He was the only one that took his time and helped me deal with a very difficult case. Mr. Kral and his team is our family's hero and angels. Thank you so so very much.

Before walking into the DiCello firm, I knew nothing about Mark DiCello and was still in shock from what I had been through! After a brief meeting with Mark, I knew this was where I needed to be. I had visited other attorneys before entering Mark's office and felt my life was over. Mark quickly changed how I was feeling with a positive, tough, take no prisoner approach! I needed to hear/know that the lawyer I was going to have represent me firmly believed in me. Mark really had a bulldog approach to my case and left no stone unturned. He felt for what I was going through and firmly believed that what I had went through was an injustice. His passion/compassion, determination and vast knowledge really had me as at ease as I could be at the time. Mark won my case, not once but twice. The other side was clearly outmatched and not playing at the same level as my lawyer. As Mark told me “my light will be on before theirs and long after their light has been turned off”! Mark got my life back together for me and I cannot thank him and the DiCello firm enough for that!!

Bill took a very difficult medical malpractice case and spent the time and hard work to win it for our family. His hard work insured great care for our son and college educations for his brother and sister. At one point in the case expenses were $36,000 and a settlement was reached of $27,000 with one of the defendants. Bill insisted we take the $27,000 without deducting expenses. He said we'll catch up later. Over the next 6 years we became great friends because he cared, we were not just another case. To this day he still means the world to all of us. I recommend Bill and his firm to you without reservation.

He is a great communicator and he took whatever time necessary to answer all questions and to ensure that we completely understood the step-by-step process. He is personable, diligent, and tireless. Most of all he truly cares. I consider him a trusted advisor and I would highly recommend him.

He hails from a family of trustees and attorneys who are traditional and conservative in their approaches to family law and all of whom have impeccable integrity. He is the quiet voice behind big decisions. He treats your concerns and issues as if they were his own. He networks with the best financial people, who are highly rated and trustworthy. His demeanor is direct, honest and compassionate. His sense of humor and excellent judge of character give him a perspective that gives him an edge when it comes to negotiations.

We could not be more happy with a devastating situation. When someone you love gets into an accident and it takes their life, Jim Thorson and Gill Switalla, (of Thorson, Switalla, Mondock and Sneed) become part of your family. They worked for us as if it was their personal loved one that was lost. Jim personally could not have understood our pain and the reality of medical bills afterwards. To lose your parent at the hands of an uninsured 17 year old is bewildering. Jim Thorson took a hot-mess and bent but never broke on our case. We won but would rather have our father back. Jim and his office will stop at nothing to get just-due in what is fair, honest and right! We thank you from our hearts...

These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
