"When my elderly mother passed away prematurely due to hospital neglect, we worked with Mr. Weidenfeller to expose the truth. The truth was exposed during trial and the hospital offered to settle the matter before the jury returned with a verdict. Mr. Weidenfeller helped my family through a difficult personal time with excellent results."

"Our son suffered a lack of oxygen following his birth. The hospital refused to admit obvious wrongdoing. Through the efforts of Mr. Weidenfeller and his firm, our son now has a trust set up in his name to provide the medical therapy and care that he requires. We cannot thank or recommend Mr. Weidenfeller highly enough!"
