About Robert Sickels
We were always encouraged to excel, but to do so without cutting corners. Honesty and integrity came first. The ends never justified the means. Effectively handling a complex medical malpractice or medical device matter is incredibly hard work, if done right. But there is no greater satisfaction, after a lengthy trial, than hearing a jury say: "We find in favor of the Plaintiff and award damages..." The key to winning complex malpractice claims is finding the best and most believable experts. I love it when I am able to convince a highly qualified, and often skeptical, expert to testify on behalf of my clients. Although you would have to ask my opponents, I believe my biggest asset as a trial attorney is that I bring credibility to table. Defense attorneys know I only file cases that I regard as highly meritorious. For more than 35 years, Robert Sickels has successfully represented hundreds of individuals involved in complex personal injury, medical negligence, and products liability matters.
