• In 2006, obtained a seven-figure settlement for the family of a middle-aged man who died as result of an undiagnosed dissecting, aortic aneurysm. The hospital where the man presented his chest pain misread a critical test, which we were able to demonstrate by obtaining a copy of the laboratory film. The settlement will permit the man’s four young children to attend college, even though they lost their father and primary family breadwinner.
  
  
• In 2003, successfully negotiated an eight-figure settlement for a minor child who suffered a severe spinal cord injury during a surgical procedure. Our work on the case uncovered a history of inadequately trained hospital personnel. The case resulted in a formal apology to the patient's family and significant changes to spine surgery procedures at the hospital involved. The settlement will permit the child to grow up and learn in a customized, wheel chair accessible home, which can later serve as a technologically adapted home workplace when she gets older.
  
  
• In 2003, reached a seven-figure settlement during trial for a 46-year-old man who suffered a permanent brain injury when his local emergency room failed to properly administer the latest clot-busting or TPA medications to reverse the effects of a sudden stroke. The settlement will allow the man's family to provide for his care.
  
  
• In 2003, obtained a seven-figure settlement for a newborn baby who suffered a brain injury leading to cerebral palsy when his doctors allowed him to be discharged from the hospital without proper measures for home breathing and oxygen support.
  
  
• In the summer of 2000, recovered a $4,480,000 verdict for a patient whose breast cancer diagnosis was delayed for seven months, resulting in a markedly decreased chance for cure and survival. "Branch v. Ledesma, M.D." in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County.
