Thank you so much for everything you have done for our family. Your professionalism and skill has been impressive.

Patient pregnant with multiple babies was delivered too soon by physicians, leading to lifelong injuries to the babies.


It is difficult to find the words to adequately express our family’s gratitude for the many months of work that went into preparing for trial and for the truly amazing job that you did during trial in not only representing the family, but giving our Mom a voice. Your performance at trial truly honored our mother, allowing us to share memories of her, her faith and spirituality, the lasting impact her passing will continue to have, and everyone involved sharing the care that she deserved.

Having spent the second most challenging week of our lives with you, a bond has been created. It has been our privilege to work with you and have the opportunity to get to know you. We hope to remain in touch as we now view you as friends, if not family. 

Thank you is not enough, but on behalf of our family, thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts. As Mom would say, “A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.” Keep fighting for families just like ours because what you do is important and invaluable.

I always felt heard, believed in, and taken care of with TrialHawk. Thank you for helping my family and getting some accountability for what happened to my husband.

Patient was not advised of elevated tumor marker in his laboratory results, leading to a 15-month delay in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and death.


I want to thank you all from the depths of my heart for believing in my case. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “no, we won’t take this because you didn’t die/your son didn’t have a brain injury” before finding your team. It was a devastating blow during early motherhood-and then came your immediate belief for the merit of my case! I am so thankful that you all thought this was an important case-that my life mattered to you. I am grateful at how smooth the process was, and that I worked so closely with another woman most of the time. Thank you to Heather.

Jury Verdict

Norfleet v. Valley Physician Enterprise

Patient was not provided outpatient DVT prophylaxis after surgery on broken leg, leading to pulmonary embolism and death.


When a serious injury happened to my wife resulting from the negligent act of a healthcare provider, I had several options: I could do nothing, or I could contact a law firm for guidance. Having been in law enforcement for 30-plus years, I contacted a criminal attorney and without hesitation, he referred us to Rich Nagle at TrialHawk.

After our initial telephone call with Rich, Travis, and Heather, we knew we had made the right decision. The expertise, professionalism, empathy, and timely efforts made on our behalf were amazing. There were no surprises, fees for service were addressed and documented out front as well as any administrative costs.

We would not hesitate for a second to recommend TrialHawk. When they say, “call us anytime, we are here for you,” they mean it.

Patient received inadequate post-surgical care, leading to delayed detection of vascular problems after knee surgery and amputation of the leg above the knee.


Richard Nagle and Travis Markley are phenomenal lawyers!!! My daughter’s case was turned down twice and I thought it was the end until I was introduced to these angels. They made my daughter their priority, which made me feel secure. Today, justice was served to my daughter and she’s set! These guys are great and I highly recommend them. Thank you Rich and Travis – my family appreciates you guys.

Three-month-old patient was not timely diagnosed or treated for Group B Strep meningitis, leading to his death within twenty-four hours of hospital admission.


The decision to initiate a medical malpractice suit was not one my family took lightly. We wanted a talented firm that could lead the way in a very honorable and dignified manner. We found exactly that with TrialHawk. Travis and Rich handled my children with kid gloves while diligently researching and preparing an excellent strategy for our case. They kept us aware of the developments of the case and did everything to make my family as comfortable as possible. They made an excellent team with a tremendous mix of knowledge, experience and professionalism that was on display before, during and after our trial. I would recommend TrialHawk to anyone who has been involved in an unfortunate situation and wants to explore their options with experienced attorneys.

Patient underwent wrong-level spine surgery, requiring expansive repair surgery to address non-healing at previously healthy level of the spine.


Thank you for all that you did for our sons, including how quickly it happened and for making it as painless as possible. We were so lucky to have found you! I can sleep at night now knowing that one of our sons can get the care and support that he deserves (he wants to be a Ninja warrior!) and that I can focus on getting our other two sons ready for college without worrying about how to pay for it or taking away from the support that they have and need today. In spite of their injuries, they are overcoming!

Solis v. Yuzefovich, M.D. et al.

Patient’s prenatal ultrasounds were misinterpreted by her obstetrician’s office, leading to her baby’s stillbirth.


When I lost my leg following a failed knee surgery, I didn’t know what to do. I just knew that something had to be done. But TrialHawk took care of everything and made me feel like I was part of their family. I appreciate the tireless efforts of Rich and Travis in getting me through trial and beyond. I could not have asked for better lawyers. Thanks!

Patient presented to ER with chest pain and abnormal EKG, but emergency physician did not assess patient or activate the cardiac cath lab, leading to death of patient in the ER waiting room.


The TrialHawk team is simply an amazing group. When our daughter passed away unexpectedly, we believed she passed due to the inactions of a healthcare provider. From the very beginning, all we ever wanted was for the healthcare provider to be held accountable for his actions. Money would not bring our daughter back. Through the referral process, we landed on TrialHawk’s doorstep. Jim Knaack spoke with us several times as he gathered information about our case. Then we worked several months with Travis Markley and Rich Nagle, who also represented us in court. I have NEVER seen two more professional gentlemen with the ability to think on the fly in a highly stressful environment than Travis and Rich. They are Grand Champion chess players. They anticipate every move and strategy of an opponent 12 moves in advance. Travis and Rich are also compassionate and real people. After working with them for over a year including a week-long court trial, it is clear to us they really care. They were more than prepared to win our case and we did win. Thank you to Travis, Rich, Jim, and the rest of the TrialHawk team for ensuring the healthcare provider was held accountable for the lack of care our daughter received.

Frey v. Winchester Oral Surgery Center, P.C. et al.

My wife and I could not thank Jim and Travis enough for handling her case with such dignity and professionalism. Their unwavering dedication to this difficult litigation process is unmatched and we thank them both for believing in us the entire way. Could not have asked for two better attorneys and their entire practice.

Patient was misdiagnosed with bladder cancer by pathologist, leading to 18 months of mistaken belief that he had cancer and more than a dozen rounds of painful BCG treatment that he should not have undergone.


To the amazing lawyers at TrialHawk – thank you so very, very much for the outstanding job you have done for me. It was miraculous that I found you after a long, roundabout search. From the very beginning, Mr. Markley was so kind to come and drive me to my deposition. I know how generous all of you are and wish you such great success in your future cases. Best wishes to all of you and thank you again and again.
