- Medical Malpractice“Hi my name is Lori and I would like to talk about Phil Blackman and Stacey Schwartz. They were my attorneys. They represented me in a medical malpractice suit. It was a major case, and I can’t begin to tell you their level of experience, how well they represented me. They went from being lawyers to medical doctors. They knew my surgery inside and out, and I think that’s the reason we had such positive results, and not only that, not only do they represent you well, but they get to know you and you get to know them. And I’ve known them now over 20 years. They are like family and I would highly recommend them. I would endorse them 1000 percent because they are just awesome.”
