Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Law Firm

Our Attorneys

The attorneys at The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Law Office of Meyers Giuffre Evans & Schwarzwaelder boast over 100 years of collective civil litigation experience.

 

 

Jerry Meyers, the firm's founder, brings nearly 30 years of experience in medical malpractice litigation to the table. A former navy hospital corpsman and respiratory therapist, Jerry has devoted his entire career to representing people injured by medical negligence. After working in hospitals and seeing patients suffer needless injury, he felt an intense drive to make a difference in the medical field.

Paul Giuffre is a former prosecutor with extensive trial experience. Since leaving public service, Paul's practice has focused on helping people injured by the negligence of others. He has tried many personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents and premise liability cases, and continues to represent victims of all acts of negligence with an emphasis on medical malpractice matters.

Charles Evans has 37 years of broad-based civil trial experience and commitment to the rights of injured people. He is well known for representing victims of wrongful conduct in virtually every area of personal injury practice. Chuck has been named in the prestigious national publication "Best Lawyers in America" for the handling of personal injury cases since 1993.

Arthur Schwarzwaelder has over 28 years primarily concentrating in the area of medical malpractice.  Although Schwarzwaelder has exclusively represented individuals and families in wrongful death and serious medical malpractice/personal injury matters for many years, he acquired a rather unique perspective from his earlier experience as a defense lawyer in civil litigation matters.  

Representation of individuals victimized by defective medical products, motor vehicle negligence and food-borne illnesses are just a few of our team's other areas of interest. Our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania lawyers also have a wealth of experience litigating numerous birth injury, cerebral palsy, brain damage and wrongful death cases.

On-Staff Medical Practitioners

One of the most important aspects of our firm’s operation is the initial client contact and screening of all potential injury cases. It is common that most people when faced with investigating a catastrophic medical malpractice or wrongful death claim end up talking to secretaries or paralegals that really do not possess medical knowledge or insights; hence they typically do not know what questions to ask.

At the law offices of Meyers Giuffre Evans & Schwarzwaelder, it is our medical staff that leads the way in determining where the possible medical negligence occurred.

Each potential client speaks to one of our on-staff nurses, all of whom have had critical care experience, are well-educated; all are still working as nurses in addition to working here part-time so as to maintain their acuity with reference to current standards of practice.

The firm’s attorneys, in-house medical staff, paralegals and support personnel understand the seriousness of each and every potential claim we review. Our attorneys take every case seriously and on an individual basis, carefully considering the unique circumstances of each case.

The Meyers Medical Library

At Meyers Giuffre Evans & Schwarzwaelder, we believe one of our firm’s most valuable resources is our extensive medical library. We maintain our medical library because it is an essential tool for our attorneys, medical staff and legal support staff to establish the medical standard of practice current to the time the care was provided.
