"I endorse this lawyer's work. Attorney Schwarzwaelder not only has the experience which makes a great trial attorney, but the ability to consistently mold his experience to an evolving and complex field of law. Art's committment to medical malpractice work is reflected by patience and persistance in pinpointing the critical evidence supporting a claim. Likewise, where so many attorneys place confidence in their reaction to the moves of the opposing parties as they happen, Art actively advances the client's interest by anticipating the tactics of the other side and planning ahead. And, Art's professionalism is among the best in the business. He clearly boosts the confidence of his clients and his colleagues as well, no doubt reducing the stress of litigation for all involved. I highly recommend Art Schwarzwaelder."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Art is an extremely intelligent, diligent, detail oriented attorney who carefully and skillfully represents his clients. He has at least 25 years experience in defending, and now prosecuting medical malpractice cases. I would and have recommended Art to potential clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known him for many years. Initially he was my worthy opposition. He represented hospitals and physicians I sued. He was then very professional in his conduct of his defense, and appropriately compassionate with my clients when circumstances warranted. He then left the defense side of the business to become a partner with a well respected Medical malpractice lawyer in Pittsburgh, John Caputo. After representing victims of malpractice in the Caputo firm for 8 years or so, he became a member of my firm. Since, he has continued the tradition of excellence for which he has become known in our community. His curiosity and fondness of medicine and his zeal and persistence represent valuable assets to our clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Art is a very insightful attorney and zealous advocate. He brings a unique perspective to plaintiff's medical malpractice work as a former defense attorney. If he accepts a case, its likely to have both merit and high degree of a successful outcome."
