A Client’s Gratitude for Tad Roumayah

Tad, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your unrelenting advocacy on my behalf throughout this process. It’s a shame that this sort of thing is still happening to new moms in 2023 and at an institution that prides itself on diversity, equity, and inclusion, no less. Knowing there are people like you fighting for justice gives me a great deal of hope for the future. This money will help us greatly in both a very immediate and practical sense, but it’s also meaningful in a way that is symbolic of a wrong being made right. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know who could use your help in the future. Please let me know if there are other ways I can help your business as a thank-you for helping me.

You have made a positive difference in my life, and I will always remember your kindness and generosity.

Praise for Wage & Overtime Pay Attorney Jesse Young

Jesse Young worked an employment case for me that ended with almost 700 people getting their unpaid wages back. He and his team are incredible. From the first communication to the last, they never missed a single beat – consistent and clear communication, quickly replying to my communication, and always making me feel like my case was at the top of their list.

After finding out my employer had been adjusting employees’ time cards to pay them less than what they actually earned, I decided to seek legal counsel. Jesse not only won the case, but he relentlessly pursued these people and showed absolutely no mercy. What started with me and two other people turned into a class action with everyone getting their money back.

A Client Talks about Andy Dragovic

My wife had an accident, tripping over a cable line that wasn’t buried. Andy represented us and were very pleased with the outcome.

About Dina Zaleski, Rick Groffsky, and Andy Dragovic

Dina, Rick, and Andy were amazing lawyers. They helped me through an incredibly difficult time in my life after losing my son. I wanted answers on why, and they helped me through the whole process and they got me answers. After I lost my son, I was severely depressed. Every time I met with Dina, she gave me more answers that helped me grow into the person I am today. My family and I can now rest easy for all the work that Dina, Andy, and Rick have done for us.

After our first meeting with attorney Matt Curtis, our feelings of frustration, defeat, and helplessness were diminished.

Matt’s knowledge of the law concerning medical malpractice and his compassion for my husband’s situation gave us the boost we needed to stand up and be heard! I am so grateful that my husband felt validated and energized throughout his time meeting with Mr. Curtis because, in February of 2021, he sadly and unexpectedly passed away. At that time, I thought all was lost, but Mr. Curtis assured me that we could still move forward. In fact, just recently, he was able to negotiate a satisfying settlement with the hospital bringing some sense of closure and justice to a very difficult time for my family. If you’re looking for someone to stand by you and fight that fight when you’re at you’re most vulnerable, I highly recommend Matthew Curtis of Sommers Schwartz.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate you! From our first conversation on the phone, I knew you truly believed me, and I felt comfortable sharing very personal and painful information with you. This was one of the hardest things that I’ve been through, but you made me feel like I had a voice and was not crazy. I knew that if anyone could help me, it would be this amazing team of strong, intelligent, and forthright women – and it turns out I was right. I truly could not have and would not have been able to pursue this case without your support. You are both professional and compassionate, which is hard to find in this day and age. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“When I first retained Lisa, I felt like I was trusting her with my life.”

After I was injured, a family member who practices probate and trust law promised to help me find a great attorney to take my case. After doing some research, he called Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller and proceeded to have me do the same. Within a couple of weeks, I retained her for my medical malpractice case and never regretted my decision for a minute. Throughout my case, she was honest and upfront during every point of contact. Lisa was easy to reach via office phone and email, and when the case felt like it was ramping up, she gave me her cell phone number so I could always reach her, gain perspective, and re-focus on the things in life that were the most important. When I first retained Lisa, I felt like I was trusting her with my life. My world felt it had been turned upside down, I could not work, and physically, I did not recognize myself. Not only did she orchestrate a settlement on my case, she helped me to pick up the pieces of my life with her encouraging words, presence, and sincerity. If I had chosen another attorney I may have obtained the same financial outcome, but I know I would not have felt as secure in one of the most difficult time periods of my life. In the first phone call to Sommers Schwartz, P.C., I was looking to obtain a highly qualified medical malpractice attorney; I got just that and luckily for me, I also found someone who, after all was said and done, I consider a friend. If you have been injured and are considering a medical malpractice case, you will not go wrong by calling Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller at Sommers Schwartz, P.C.

Satisfied Clients Praise Andy Dragovic

My husband suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and stroke. We thought all along something didn’t seem right with the care he initially received. After seeking advice from multiple firms who told us there was nothing they could do for us, we told our story to Andy Dragovic at Sommers Schwartz. After compassionately listening to our story he knew exactly what to do. We are so grateful for the advice, support, professionalism, and compassion we received. We felt we were with the best medical malpractice attorney and team we could have found! We were educated and informed every step of the way! We trusted the process and his guidance, knowing all along we were in great hands. We are very satisfied with the outcome of our case! We can’t thank Andy and the team at Sommers Schwartz enough for all they did for us! We highly recommend this law firm!

About Matthew Turner and Tad Roumayah…

As a President and CEO, I have had the opportunity to work with many law firms and attorneys on various legal matters. Recently, I became in need of personal representation in a lawsuit. After a review of alternatives, I received a recommendation for Sommers Schwartz, P.C, and specifically to the counsel of attorney Matthew Turner.

 At our introductory meeting, Matt had me methodically review my situation, discussed my alternatives and then proceeded to explain his approach for handling the case.  Key in that explanation, was how he described himself as a “litigator.” Unlike some attorneys who are either very book smart, can make a great argument, or like to negotiate settlements (although Matt possesses all of those exceptional attributes), Matt set himself apart by his commitment to litigating this case and seeing it through to the conclusion of the entire arbitration process.

Matt added Tad Roumayah, a Sommers Schwartz colleague, to the legal team. Tad provided all of the detailed and timely responses that the proceedings required, provided constant communication and feedback throughout the case, and also conducted my deposition and examination at the arbitration.

At the arbitration, Matt’s personal description of himself as a “litigator” rang true. He quickly took total command of the arbitration proceedings. His preparation, thoroughness and tenacity overwhelmed the defendant and his attorney. Together, Matt and Tad presented my case with the highest level of professionalism, personal integrity, and competency that one would want and expect at a time of personal need and crisis. And the resultant award exceeded my expectations.

So, for anyone seeking exceptional legal representation, I can thoroughly and personally recommend Mathew Turner and Tad Roumayah from the law firm of Sommers Schwartz, P.C.

For five and one-half years you never tossed in the towel.

For five and one-half years you never tossed in the towel, evoking visions of ‘the junkyard dog’ as the challenges of trying to fit the square peg into the round hole to obtain a just settlement.

I will always recommend Mr. Watkins and Sommers Schwartz.

After meeting Mr. Watkins in person and working with him during the proceedings, I realized that the words in his website bio were true. He is a FIGHTER for his clients.

I am so grateful to have had Mr. Matt Curtis help me with my very tough case.

This is my first time working with an attorney and I am so grateful to have had Mr. Matt Curtis help me with my very tough case. Many well-known lawyers across the state wouldn’t take my case but Mr. Curtis gave it his all. He is a very hard worker and so driven. If it wasn’t for his dedication, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He was always keeping in touch with me and if I ever needed to speak to him, he was a phone call or email away (which he responds to so quickly!!!). Everyone at the office is so kind and his paralegals are so sweet and made the process a lot easier. If you’re looking for a top notch lawyer who will make sure you get what you deserve and even more, I highly recommend Mr. Matt Curtis. I have come across nothing but positive reviews about him and they are all true.

– describing

Our attorney was tough, very professional, and knew his stuff!

This was my first time going through anything such as a medical lawsuit or even working with an attorney. My oldest son was born with an “undetected” heart defect resulting in the need of him being “revived” which left him a “stroke survivor.” Our case was 11 years in the making with many ups and downs. Our attorney Matthew Curtis never gave up. He was tough, very professional, and knew his stuff! Our case was very difficult and challenging and therefore was very time-consuming. Each step of the way, Matt explained what was going on and what I could expect, and he always kept in contact through emails or phone calls. If I ever had any questions or concerns Matt was just an email or phone call away – he was quick to get back to me too! Matt is sincere, kind, and compassionate – he has become more than just our attorney. He is more like family! I highly recommend contacting Matt if you ever find yourself in need of a top-notch attorney. His kindness, professionalism, wisdom, and personal concern is astounding!

It was an arduous process, but you remained steadfast in reassuring me along the way and I am grateful. I recommend you without reservation. Again, my most sincere thanks to each of you.

You are outstanding!!!

When I was fired from my executive position without any notice, a relative of mine recommended I call you. That was one of the best suggestions anyone could have given me at the time. Your professionalism was outstanding. You took the time to listen to my scattered thoughts while I was freaking out about being unemployed at age 59. You asked the right questions to get to the fact that I was being discriminated against and were willing to take on my case. I was so impressed with your knowledge of the law and the way you were able to step back and look at all the options while explaining it to me in layman terms. You spent so much time on a case that could have had zero return. But in the end, it all paid off, because of your expertise and how you handled the case. I would recommend you to anyone who is or has been a victim of workplace harassment, discrimination or any other employment issue. You are outstanding!!!

Andy Dragovic is an outstanding trial attorney!

Andy Dragovic is an outstanding trial attorney! The thought of testifying in a jury trial for a medical malpractice case can be pretty intimidating, to say the least. I needed representation from an attorney who was empathetic and effective. Andrija Dragovic proved to be that attorney time and time again. He was clearly dedicated to finding justice, explored my options every step of the way, and respected all my decisions regarding the case. I was impressed with his efforts to communicate regularly with me and provide education regarding the legal process in terms that were easy to understand. He was prepared to go to trial in my case, and we did! The jury came back with a unanimous finding in my favor and I was awarded the maximum amount for damages. Mr. Dragovic was extremely prepared, well versed in case law, and compelling during the trial. Behind the scenes, while relating to me, he was thoughtful and down to earth. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and have a tremendous amount of respect for Andy Dragovic and his legal practice.

I was very happy with the service you and the firm provided.

I was very happy with the service you and the firm provided. You guys handled yourself in a very professional manner and were true advocates for me during this entire process. I am sure you know better than I, but you guys are not only attorneys but also psychologists. You talked me in off the ledge at various times throughout the process when I had to hear first hand and see in writing the ludicrous statements made by the defendant. You and your firm will always be in my good graces and I will certainly refer anyone that needs your help, not only in employment matters, but also other specialties.

– describing

I will always appreciate your professional approach.

I believe that you were very professional. More important, you were patient with respect to my lack of experience in this situation. You took time to explain why one path was better than another. You listened carefully and offered sound advice and counsel. I will always appreciate your professional and measured approach. You recommended a path that led to a speedy settlement. I did not have to spend a long period of time in litigation with no guarantee of success.

You have become a valuable resource and trusted advisor.

I am very satisfied with your actions and performance specifically: the way you handled me and my concerns, identified the breach of contract issue, the skillful way you laid out a plan of action and then negotiate it to a good end. Most impressive was your preparedness at our face to face meeting. You obviously took some time to understand my situation. You engaged me in meaningful conversation from the legal standpoint and presented my options, in a way that I could understand and therefore make an informed decision. I am most grateful for your patience as you guided me to that point of understanding fielding all of my questions and originations. In addition, you have become a valuable resource and trusted advisor that will be a part of my future. This experience has educated me as to how I will handle my work in a rapidly changing world and competitive business environment.

– describing ,

Your advice and guidance were spot on.

I want to thank the both of you for the hard work you put in to our case. For me it was the first time I had ever been involved in litigation against anybody, was not sure what to expect and was worried about the out come. Throughout the process you both demonstrated understanding for the emotional roller coaster your clients were going through, keeping us on track until the conclusion of the case. Your advice and guidance were spot on… once again, thank you.

– describing ,

Your firm has tremendous skill and ethics.

Over the years I have referred cases to your firm in general and to Norm specifically knowing that the client would be handled with care and competence. I have always found that to be the case. While I have never been a plaintiff’s lawyer I have come to know that there are plaintiff’s firms with tremendous skill and ethics. Your firm is one of those.

– describing

I was very impressed with you throughout the trial.

Mr. Kochanowski, I just wanted to briefly thank you for taking a few minutes after the Buam v. Umass trial last week to speak with the jurors. That was the first time I had been a juror, and it was an interesting experience. I was very impressed with you throughout the trial, and got the feeling that you really enjoy your career. Mr. Baum is a very intelligent man, and you couldn’t have represented him any better.

I wanted to thank you.

I wanted to thank you for your assistance in resolving the matter with my employer. I was impressed by yours and Tad’s strengths, which included the following:

  • You listened to my complaints and were able to determine what laws my employer violated.
  • You kept me involved in the case and incorporated my opinions into the process.
  • You were diligent in sifting through the documentation that I provided and also requested information from me to learn what I was saying and to clearly understand my perspective.
  • You provided me with guidance on how I should act as your client and be part of the team.
  • You were patient with me and asked your questions in various ways until you were sure that I understood your requests. As a result, I was able to provide you with all of the information that you needed.
  • You had an exceptional grasp of the law.
  • You were willing to support me either on an hourly basis, as a representative in arbitration or as a partner in litigation.
  • You both have pleasant personalities and are enjoyable to associate with. I felt like we could be friends!
– describing ,

Overall a wonderful job and I will definitely recommend you!

I had a wonderful experience with you and Tad! I think that coming into your office, I was lacking a lot of knowledge about what my rights and options were with my former employer and I was very appreciative of how you presented all the facts and tools at my disposal. I think the outcome was great, in spite of my former employer’s attempts at dodging the issue and I am extremely happy in my new position. I do not think I would have been in this new position if I had truly allowed the stress of the situation with my former employer get to me while I was interviewing. A big reason for which I was able to keep my stress levels down was that I knew you and Tad were on top of making sure that my former employer was held responsible. Overall a wonderful job and I will definitely recommend you to my friends in the Michigan area!

Should my son become half the lawyer as those I have met at your firm he will be successful.

I will recommend you and your firm’s services to my friends and family.

Dan, I was very satisfied with the services you and Tad provided to me. The most important item for me was you both responded to my questions and inquiries quickly.

You have no idea how much you and your team have helped me.

My husband and I had taken the advice of someone else over yours – only to later regret it. You got the results we wanted in three days after we wasted 7 weeks with someone else. You have no idea how much you and your team have helped me, and I truly appreciate all that you have done. Oh, and that loud whooshing noise you’re hearing? It’s just a big sigh of relief!

WOW! – you truly have left a great impression on us.

My wife and I really appreciate all your help. You did a wonderful job with our lawsuit and you actually genuinely tried to help us again. WOW! – you truly have left a great impression on us.

I will confidently recommend Sommers Schwartz.

Unlike several other firms I considered, Sommers Schwartz responded almost immediately to the email I sent briefly explaining my situation, and Tad vetted my concerns over the phone to determine I had a potentially viable claim. After determining that to be the case, he promptly arranged for a meeting to finalize his inquiries, determined there were substantial grounds to move forward and arrange for my meeting with you. I was particularly impressed with the fact that you quickly cut to the chase and were candid in discounting the aspects of the case that were less compelling despite my initially believing otherwise. In preparing me for the mediation, you forced me to do a critical self-examination as to my degree of culpability in the matter, correctly anticipating areas of concern the mediator may have. You were on a short list of attorney’s I considered to represent me in this matter based on your standing in the legal community and I have no doubt that your reputation brought this matter to a resolution more expeditiously than a less highly regarded attorney would have been able to accomplish. I would absolutely consider using you if the need arises in the future and I will confidently recommend Sommers Schwartz to friends or family members in need of legal services.

Matt Turner was a guiding light through my lawsuit.

Going through the legal process was foreign and nerve-racking for me but I was able to garner confidence from my attorney. His meticulousness and dedication was astounding, allowing me to lean on him for support and guidance throughout the process. I am fully confident he was the key factor in the success of my outcome.

You were kind enough to listen.

When it seemed that we would not be able to get anyone to listen to us regarding the details of our accident and any potential merit to a legal case, you were kind enough to listen, and subsequently bring this matter to a positive resolution.

Kenneth Watkins is very knowledgeable.

Kenneth Watkins is very knowledgeable in his practice of medical malpractice cases and extremely thorough in investigative information. Being a healthcare professor myself, I was impressed to know that he was so well read and knew the medical jargon (terminology) when evaluating individual cases. I found him to be very professional, credible, and personable.

I felt from the beginning that my best interests at were always at heart.

I felt from the beginning that Dan and Tad had my back and that my best interests were always at heart. All options and possible obstacles were clearly defined and repeated throughout the course of the litigation so that I was clear about my case at all times. I felt that within a short period of time, they fully understood my case, and advised me as to the best possible courses to take with the best possible outcomes.

You did a great job.

Thank for all you did in my case, Kevin. You did a great job.

– describing

I appreciate the team effort provided.

I am more than reasonably satisfied with the outcome. The monetary consideration is one thing but the principle of the matter was very important to me. Civil rights were violated with discrimination. My character and integrity were in question. The dispute was settled in my favor and, with a great deal of my gratitude and respect for those of you in the legal profession. The scope and depth of the demand letter gave me all the confidence and comfort that my dispute would be managed by the best. It seems to me most all communications were timely and concrete, and I appreciate the team effort provided. On a very personal note I would like you gentlemen to know that for those of us that have been violated and need legal assistance, we must often wait for justice in quiet desperation. As such, the words I used above “confidence and comfort” came only from you and your team. This also gives meaning to the words: all comes to those who wait. Yes, I wanted to call you gentlemen more than once for updates! If I had a legal problem in the future, I would consider only calling your firm for assistance. I have already given a friend a recommendation to your firm.

You went above and beyond expectations.

Thank you very much for your time and effort on our case. We feel you went above and beyond expectations. Our business is very complex with the different manufacturers we deal with and the rebate programs associated with them, and we feel the time, effort and your timeliness in understanding the different aspects of our case helped us with a reasonable resolution. We hope we will not have to have assistance in litigation again, but if we do, we will certainly want you to be the counsel helping us and we would certainly be happy to refer you to anyone that may need legal counsel.

Your advice is very valuable to me.

Just wanted to formally thank you for taking the time to discuss the area of class action. I admire all that you’ve done in your career and your advice is very valuable to me. It is my wish that we work together some day on cases, but I’m sure we will cross paths again in this exciting field of law. I wish you the best with everything. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and everyone at Sommers Schwartz.
