“Although it is a very painful experience to go through, it was lightened by working with Aden Williams and Ron Shaw. I was lucky to have Mr. Shaw as my defense attorney; he was very supportive of me, and his knowledge of our case was impeccable. I was surprised at the command he had of all the minute details embedded in the thousands of pages of available medical records. Notwithstanding a very bright defense strategy, he always encouraged me to be completely truthful and candid in my depositions. I can only hope that if any of my colleagues suffer a similar trance, that they will be afforded the possibility of having Mr. Shaw as their counselor.” F.T., M.D. February 6, 1998 “I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Ron Shaw for his work in this case. It has been my pleasure to have worked with Ron defending cases; it is always different, of course, when the case hits home. I am impressed with Ron’s ability and his thoroughness. It is, indeed, true that circumstances out of our control sometimes influence settlement; I feel that we have obtained the best possible disposition of this case. I feel privileged to have Ron Shaw as my attorney. As always, I recommend him highly.” L. H., M.D. January 6, 1998 “Initially, I thought the intensity of the defense preparations were overkill until the jury trial unfolded. Though there was absolutely no medical merit to the case, without a vigorous defense, the carefully selected facts woven into a plausible story by the attorney for the plaintiff could have been convincing. The questions asked by Mr. Breschi during deposition turned out to be almost prescient when the trial unfolded. Mr. Shaw skillfully juggled his giant enlargements of the medical record and successfully counteracted the blatant editing of the facts by Ms. Christie. It took a lot of work and skill on the part of Mr. Shaw to show that my medicine was indeed good. There is one more observation that I wanted to share. Mr. Shaw’s office works as a team. I recognize teamwork since I have spent the greater part of my career trying to improve the GBMC ED team. Teamwork was the reason for any success I may have had at GBMC and it is always more effective than the superstar approach to performance. Thank you for picking an effective team for my defense.” C. K., M.D. August 31, 2001 “I wanted to pay thanks for providing me with someone like Ron Shaw for my defense. He was always there, always informative, always helpful and always gave me 125%. In my non-legal opinion, he out-lawyered the plaintiffs’ attorney by multiples of 10!” D. H., M.D. February 12, 1996 “I especially want to thank you for providing the help of Ronald Shaw, Esquire. His work, in every way, was magnificent. I have never seen a better organization of records or more complete procurement of records. His handling of my own involvement was done in a most diplomatic and caring fashion, and covering all aspects of the situation. The development of the situation before the medical panel was full and expert in every way. The summary judgment, which occurred at the end of the second day of the four day hearing, was without question due to his knowledge of law and presentation of all facts of the case. In my opinion, it would be very difficult for Medical Mutual to find anyone who could handle cases similar to mine in such a magnificent fashion.” J. H., M.D. March 1, 1993 “I write to you knowing that written words cannot convey all that I want you to know of my deep respect for your help and, above all, my gratitude. I have not needed to develop such an intense partnership with a colleague many times in my life. It was truly a rewarding, if unwanted, adventure . . . I owe to you for all you did to assure that between us we presented me for who I am.” R. B., M.D. January 26, 2001 “I am very pleased to find a lawyer who is sincere, hard working, and dedicated. I hope you keep up the good work, because we “poor doctors” will always need your help. Please convey my heart felt thanks to everyone in your firm.” S. J., M.D. “I feel fortunate that the insurance company put you on my case. As I told you, I am much more comfortable in a smaller, more personal setting such as you and your office provided. At the same time, I felt extremely confident in my attorney, an especially comforting concept. I was treated for what I think is a relatively small suit the same as if we were talking about a milti-million dollar case. So I was fortunate to have someone on my side that also seems to be working too much, but at least in my favor.” J. S., M.D. April 11, 2001 “If you have not recognized my appreciation for all of your efforts during this long endeavor, I would like to reiterate that I feel that I was superbly represented.” D. S., M.D. October 12, 1994 “I don’t believe this verdict would have been possible if it were not for your comprehensive questioning that exposed holes and inconsistencies in the testimony of the State.” Jay M. December 17, 1998 “This letter is to express my sincere appreciation for your excellent work to help me with the T. W. case. I can see that you have had a lot of experience handling these type of cases. You have been on top of the claimant’s lawyers through the entire ordeal. In my opinion, you are one of the best malpractice lawyers.” P. T., M.D. December 15, 2000 “I thought I should let you know that Dr. R. sent me a note after you met with him to tell me that he was pleased to see your approach to the issues involved and how aggressively you planned to defend him.” R. K., Esquire May 17, 1999 “Ron and Tony – We were overwhelmed with gratitude, not only for your kind support, but for your excellence. The case was flawlessly prepared and the presentation was outstanding. . . . We were very impressed by your acumen, attentiveness to each important detail, well-designed strategy, patience, and remarkable restraint. You were both wonderful and went the extra mile.” D. B., M.D. February 9, 2000 “Just got the notification of the good news. All I can say is Thanks. Thanks for the work, the good advice, and the concern. Made a miserable situation much more bearable.” M. K., M.D. January 2003 “H. and I are truly happy with the outcome of the S. case and want to thank you and your firm for representing me. I truly appreciated your thoroughness, professionalism, and above all else, belief in my innocence.” C. J., M.D. February 2003 “That’s all I had on my side—God, the truth, and Thomas Morrow.” L. Tribble, as quoted in Never Too Young To Die (Cole, L., Pantheon Books, 1989, p. 188) “I have read many notices in The Daily Record in my day, but this is the first one that I read and immediately said: “Uh-Oh!”. It has been bad enough over the last several years to be fighting trying to squeeze any money out of Ron and his clients but now that the two of you are together, I am simply depressed at the thought of even trying to win a case against your firm. I am sure this will work great for you two but it has made me very unhappy. Please do not share this letter with the forces at Med Mutual or they will assign every case I file to your firm and my children will not be able to go to college. I refuse to wish you the best of luck in this venture since you will not need any.” D. C., Esquire April 22, 1999
