Posted by DONNA | October 06, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Medical Malpractice

Not good at all.

Took my medical malpractice case and let it sit for many years. Weeks after my trial was scheduled she filed to withdraw as my attorney instead of getting me ready to go to trial. She said there was no malpractice! And there was. This nurse does what she feels like and not what is needed. Then ...she put a lien on my legal file for the case so I could not get another attorney. Sounds like spite, but what for? I will never know. Now I have permanent injuries and she has my legal file. She is not honest, diligent or even nice. Go to her if you want to take a chance on being confused for years about what is happening and then possibly losing your case if she doesn't feel like following through for whatever her reason. Or you could go get an attorney with morals if you have a case that needs to be heard. Too many good attorneys to chance this one.

Excellent Attorney!

I retained Ms Shindel on multiple occasions ranging from contractual issues to Medical Malpractice. She was able to adapt to all of the unexpected hurtles and challenges that faced us. She is extremely honest and focuses on fact, rather than posturing. She will not take a case she does not believe sh...e can prevail in. I would recommend Doreen Shindel Esq. to anyone.

Great Attorney!

She works hard to attain the best results of your case. She was able to adapt and get results. She cares about her clients ... and she is very conscious of keeping expenses low. I would hire her again !!!....

Non responsive, rude and poorly informed about the law

After my initial intake I was told to obtain my own records and to basically do all of my own work. Once I had obtained all of my records I sent them to her office where they remained for months not given any attention. I was then asked for a large sum of money to have my records examined by a doc...tor. I provided the check and after several weeks I was advised that they were unable to locate the doctor they had sent my records to. In addition, they would not refund my money for the doctors examination or the cost of the medical records.

A true Litigator. Knows MedMal like no one else! Best Lawyer in NY by far!! A+++

Doreen J Shindel just concluded a major Medical Malpractice suit on my behalf. She worked tirelessly at getting me a large compensation settlement. She would not allow the apposing attorneys to bully us around. In the end, the outcome of my case was incredible and favorable to me. Doreen is a car...ing, smart and diligent attorney who actually CARES about her Clients! I recommend Doreen J Shindel without hesitation, to anyone!
