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.
