When her only son’s life changed forever due to a medical mistake, she refused to give up. In Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, she found more than a law firm—she found people who listened, understood, and fought beside her. This is the story of a mother’s strength, a family’s heartbreak, and a legal team that became her backbone.
More Than a Law Firm—A Lifeline When It Matters Most
When her only son—a bright student with a full scholarship at Rice University—suffered a catastrophic medical injury, her world changed in an instant. What began as a routine skin graft procedure turned tragic when her son went into cardiac arrest. Though the accident didn’t cause his condition, what happened under the hospital’s care left him unable to speak, respond, or function.
In those devastating early days, doctors didn’t believe he would survive. But she never gave up. As a mother, her love and determination would not waver. Still, she knew she couldn’t do it alone. The pain was immense. The future uncertain. She needed a legal team who could understand her, stand beside her, and fight for her son’s life with the same relentless devotion.
