I am so pleased with your work as are all the defense counsel and physicians with whom you have worked in my cases. I like to think of you as my best secret weapon (although I do tell all defense counsel and everyone here about your services and rave about your results!). Dr. Schultz, you have had three cases dismissed for me. Let's go for number four!

Your services were extraordinarily helpful in my recent malpractice case. I feel the training you conducted was the most important "continuing education" I have experienced since starting my practice. I am absolutely sure that the tools you gave me kept this case much briefer and almost guaranteed a good outcome for me. I realize there is always room for improvement and I hope I never need to further refine my deposition skills, but the outcome of early dismissal of this very difficult case is a testament to what you did for me.

In Case #1, I was extremely concerned about the expected testimony of Dr. W, the only defendant in the case. This case involved an Emergency Department visit in which the patient presented with a complaint of chest pain, was discharged to home, and died four days later from a pulmonary embolism. Dr. Schultz and I met with Dr. W prior to his deposition. Dr. Schultz was extremely helpful to me and Dr. W in formalizing his thinking as he retrospectively recreated his evaluation on this particular patient. Dr. Schultz was able to help prepare him for his deposition, which was one of the most critical steps in the litigation of this case. Resultantly, Dr. W gave extremely good deposition and trial testimony. I am pleased to report that we tried this case last month and received a unanimous defense verdict.

Case #2 also involved an Emergency Medicine physician who simply talked incessantly to his detriment. I was extremely worried about how he would do during his deposition. Therefore, Dr. Schultz and I met with him repeatedly, and filmed him at least three times in mock depositions, all prior to his actual deposition. It was amazing how well he did in his deposition when it was ultimately taken. As a result of that favorable deposition, and also as a result of convincing plaintiff's counsel that proximate cause could not be proved against this physician, I am pleased to report that we obtained a voluntary dismissal with prejudice of our defendant client.

In preparation for trial, my attorney retained the services of Ken Schultz, MD. He and I met for several hours before my trial to go over the details of my upcoming testimony and how best to present myself. In this session, I practiced answering questions from my attorney who posed as both the defense and plaintiff’s counsel. When I had difficulty responding to her questions, Dr. Schultz would play my role in responding. The whole process involving Ken was critical to my success at trial. It truly helped crystallize my thoughts in preparation and helped me to be believable and likeable to the jury. I heartily recommend this technique for future litigants as well as Dr. Schultz's expertise. I am very grateful to my attorney for arranging Dr. Schultz's participation.

One of Ken's strengths is his ability to quickly assess the physician's personality and state of mind, and then gear his preparation of the physician in a way that will be meaningful and effective for that particular personality and situation, rather than using a cookie-cutter approach to witness preparation. Ken brings to the table his knowledge of medicine, claims management, risk management, and the practical realities of litigation to partner with defense counsel in preparing a stronger and more successful defense.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment on your mentoring me in preparation for my deposition and testimony for my recent malpractice case. The initial impression of my legal team was that it would be a tough but winnable case. The weakest part of the defense was my tendency to ramble and "lecture" when asked a question. Your help in learning to stay brief, organized, focused and confident made me a truly effective witness. My attorney reported that we set a record for the quickest favorable jury deliberation in his career experience. Your effective coaching made a big difference in our successful defense.

Our firm has achieved great results based on Dr. Schultz's ability to assist us in preparing healthcare providers for their testimony. Our healthcare defendant clients always praise Dr. Schultz's abilities and are extremely thankful that we recommended utilizing a doctor who has litigation expertise in this effort.

Just before trial in one of our most dangerous malpractice cases, our defendant emergency physician lost confidence and everyone agreed that emergency intervention was necessary to get him back on track. I chose Dr. Ken Schultz of BSA to meet with our physician and defense attorney. After spending one day of intensive trial preparation with Ken Schultz, our physician had regained his confidence, knew his role, and performed very well during trial - which resulted in a defense verdict! The plaintiff attorney was shocked. Without Ken Schultz I doubt if we would have won.
