Cross-section of some of the new cases that have recently come into our office:
We've evaluated, studied and thought about these matters and have decided to see if we can help our new clients with them. As we have explained elsewhere on our website, it is our policy to be very careful and judicious in selecting the cases that come to us; we like to limit the number of active cases we handle at any one time so we can devote our fullest energies to them.
I never want to have clients being treated like "numbers" and I find it's a very bad thing when folks are led to believe that marginal, defective or fatally flawed cases will somehow turn into overnight successes. That is, in my mind, intellectually dishonest and borders on unethical shilling.
Simply put, you can put pearls and lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Straight talk counts.
Now, indeed, all of our cases present problems and difficulties (There is no such thing as the Perfect Case!) and some are especially hard and a few are absolute longshots that are tragic and need remedy if one can be found at all, but we make all that clear to the folks who come to us.
And, we welcome the challenge. Please get in touch if you would like to talk.

Client goes into hospital to have doctor-recommended hysterectomy. After surgery, nursing staff recognize that client is not voiding urine. Exploratory surgery reveals that surgery has completely sliced not one but BOTH of her ureters. In order to repair, damaged ends of ureters have to be cut back to make patent, clean reattachment. In order to do, ureters are shortened. While repair is effective, one ureter is tightly stretched and is permanently, chronically painful. Pain radiates constantly across client's hip and pelvis, burns and runs down her upper thigh where nerves are affected.
