Client Testimonial
“Kitz's review, analysis, and simple explanation of our client's complex medical records was instrumental to our success in a lawsuit that helped our client collect a significant settlement from a hospital that was at fault. Without Kitz's consultation, it is unlikely that my co-counsel and I would have been able to settle with the hospital as quickly and favorably as we did. Kitz enabled us to feel confident with our assertions regarding the hospital's negligence and to present an extremely persuasive factual account of what happened while our client was a patient at the hospital. Kitz was available to answer questions as negotiations proceeded and he was a pleasure to work with. Kitz is a true medical professional, but he also has the unique ability to communicate his vast and deep scientific knowledge to people with different educational backgrounds in a clear, concise, and friendly manner.”
