Exceptional

Mr. Talley and his team handled a medical product liability case for me. From day 1 I was introduced to his team and who would be doing what. I was informed regularly on the status of my case and always encouraged to call or ask questions. Janet Kershaw was my main point of contact , when I called I ...rarely had to go to voice mail she was always prompt in getting back to me with answers. It was not rare to get a call at 6:00pm if she had a question. The entire process was seamless and stress less for us. Upon settlement every dime was accounted for by the firm and payment made the next day. This is not you typical 9-5 firm they go the extra mile. I highly recommend them.

Successful Outcome

Mr Talley represented me on a medical malpractice case. He was responsive to my questions and concerns throughout the process. He handled the case with expertise. The case was settled out of court and I was awarded a settlement.

Open, Honorable, Concerned

My initial contact with Stuart Talley was in November 2012 after I did an internet search for some toxic metals I was told were in my bloodstream. He called me in response to an internet inquiry on a Saturday. We talked for a long time and he gave me a lot of information that day. We later met in per...son when he was in the Los Angeles area. At that time after receiving a lot of information I would not have had access to I hired Stuart on a contingency basis. I've been very pleased with his service with an ongoing lawsuit against a major corporation and recommend him and his firm highly.

The truth will set you free.

I had been lied to by My previous orthopedist and when i found I was the recipient of a faulty medical device ,no other doctors would see me. I ended up calling Stuart mostly just to find a doctor that his clients may have seen about problems similar to mine. He was very nice even though I wasnt a cl...ient and his office provided me some names to choose from. He asked if I would be interested in learning more about these cases and enlightened me to the fact that the manufacturer wasnt paying for the medical costs related to my problem as my orthopedist had told me.Stuart drove from an appointment in San Francisco clear up to my house in northern california just to sit and explain what I was up against. He showed real concern for me and my wife about our future and my health. His office provided me with quick important information from the FDA and other sources that saved me from continuing to let my body be damaged by this implant.They basically saved my vision and kidneys by giving me info that showed the damage this metal in my system was causing. I was well represented and Stuart gave me invaluable assistance in going through this process. He took his time along with his staff to explain everything and answered all my questions. He and Karen give attorneys a good name you might say. I am glad I signed on with them to represent me and if ever I need this kind of help again,I will be calling them only.

Outstanding

Great firm. Was always able to reach them or receive prompt return call. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Explained everything to me in great detail. I feel that they actually cared about me.
