This written testimonial comes from one of my former pharmaceutical injury clients, Ms. Melena Capps-Connor. I represented her, along with my Of Counsel, Mr. Chad McGuire against one of the largest corporations [at the time] known as "American Home Products." We settled her case in San Francisco with one of the largest defense law firms in Calfiornia. Here is what she had to say:

"Dear Chad and Mark,

Thank you very much for being my personal injury attorneys in the Fen-Phen case. As my health declined , both of you took a keen interest in examining the facts present to determine that a personal injury  had taken place. Being a nurse, I was impressed with your familiarity with the medical research and information available on the drug Fen-Phen. Obviously, both of you do our homework and you do it well.
 
Both of you are to be praised for your unswerving efforts during thes proceeding. For the many months involved in this case, both of you kept me informed in writing or by phone as to how the case was progressing. You never failed to answer any questions I had and were always looking out for my best interest.  The both of you took into account the impact of this personal injury on my current health and the repercussions of future health problems. I was very much impressed with your abilities to view this personal injury in terms of the long run and teh devastating effect it has had on my nursing career. Both of you brought to light the need to understand, in my case, that this was not only a financial issue but that it also posed a medical problem. Your research of the studies available indicated that my health would probably decline, significantly, in future years. Both of you are exceptionally gifted attorneys' and have the insight to view matters in terms of the "whole picture." Both of you comported yourselves with the utmost professionalism and due care with my case.

Thank you once again."
