Law Review: Reflecting on 2023

As the year comes to a close, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the journey undertaken both personally and professionally. This year at Schad Law has been filled with complex legal challenges, but more importantly, it has been enriched by the connections I’ve made with exceptional people. Here are some client reviews I received this year and comments on the work performed.

Personal Injury Cases

Cameron is an amazing attorney who helped me with a motor vehicle accident. He worked diligently with multiple entities to ensure I got the most money possible!! Thank you Cameron for making it easy on me. ~ Carol

Cameron wrote a demand letter to address potential workplace discrimination. He was patient to listen to the complexities of my case, and he had helpful suggestions about relevant information I needed to collect. His letter was very effective at addressing and resolving the issue. ~ Joshua

Personal injury cases, specifically traumatic brain injury cases, are the top priority and expertise of Schad Law. Matt Schad and the Schad Law team have handled personal injury cases for several decades with professionalism, client satisfaction, and unparalleled outcomes, including a plethora of seven and eight figure verdicts.

Addressing complex issues such as workplace discrimination, like in Joshua’s case, has been another significant aspect of my work this year. Effective communication and a deep understanding of the intricacies of each case are crucial. Crafting a demand letter that resonates and effectively addresses the issue at hand requires patience and purposeful understanding of individual circumstances. I’ve harnessed these demand letters to effectively resolve several personal injury cases this year, providing outcomes that exceed client expectations.

Wills and Trusts

I’d waited long enough to have a will drawn up for myself. So I sought the advice of Schad Law. Cameron Fathauer was assigned to me and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Mr. Fathauer was pleasant, informative and proficient. I was honored when he shared his personal story of tragedy and triumph with me. This young man is an outstanding representative of Schad Law.  ~ Patricia

My husband and I recently created a trust with the help of the very gifted Cameron Fathauer. We loved our experience with the firm. The staff are kind, and go above and beyond what is expected. My husband and I loved our experience with Mr. Fathauer. ~ Julia

Cameron did an excellent job assisting us in getting a deed transfer after the passing of my son. Cameron was a blessing to our family, he was kind, professional and never in in a hurry to end a call. He does excellent work and is very knowledgeable. I had some expectations for Cameron and he far exceeded them. He has the most integrity of anyone I’ve met in his profession. He gave us excellent results in a timely manner and answered all questions professionally. I highly recommend this law firm. The entire experience was awesome during these rough times. ~ Israel

Throughout the year, I’ve had the privilege of assisting clients with their estate planning needs. This included drafting wills, trusts, deeds, and opening probate estates or securing guardianships for loved ones suffering from cognitive deficiencies. My approach to estate planning goes beyond the mere formalities of legal procedure; I believe in the power of personal stories, as they forge understanding and bring us closer together. The process of navigating the legal system can be daunting, but by sharing my experiences, I strive to make it more accessible and meaningful for my clients.

In short, “Before your last hour, call Fathauer!”

Nursing Home and Medicaid Planning

Attorney Cameron Fathauer did estate planning for my wife and I and we couldn’t be happier. He additionally has helped us with the planning for nursing care for an immediate family member. His comforting help and guidance with this sensitive matter has been an absolute blessing. Cameron helped us through our planning process with an absolute confident yet calming demeanor. Mr. Fathauer is a very intelligent, talented and faith based young man and I, very much, recommend his services. ~ Ryan

In working with clients like Ryan and his wife on estate planning and nursing care planning, I’ve aimed to provide not just legal expertise, but also comfort and reassurance during sensitive times. Estate planning is more than a legal task; it’s a matter of securing futures and offering peace of mind.

Estate Planning Presentations

I had the opportunity to attend an estate planning session at my church, Bates Memorial Baptist Church, here in Louisville and was impressed with the presentation given by attorney Cameron Fathauer. He incorporated scripture as he shared his testimony about how God restored him from a traumatic brain injury after an unfortunate accident. He was convincing in reminding us that you never know what can happen, and we needed to do our part in being prepared and making sure our loved ones are taken care of in the event that something unforeseen happens. He was knowledgeable and made the process super simple and the legalese easy to understand. He has a beautiful spirit and would recommend him to handle your legal matters. ~ Jackie

Leading estate planning presentations, like the one at Bates Memorial Baptist Church, has allowed me to combine my legal knowledge with my faith and personal testimony. These sessions are opportunities to demystify legal processes and emphasize the importance of being prepared, a philosophy that has become a cornerstone of my life since my accident. I gave around 15 presentations this year in the Kentuckiana region at various churches, hospitals, and other non-profits.

A Personal Practice

The commitment of our team is reflected in feedback from clients. Their experiences underscore our dedication to excellence and compassion in every interaction, whether it’s creating trusts, guiding through estate planning, or any other legal matter. Each interaction is a testament to the ethos of Schad Law – a blend of professionalism and empathy.

My path as an attorney is deeply connected with a personal story. The life-changing traumatic brain injury I suffered in 2015 reshaped not just my life, but also my career direction. As my wife, among others, served and empowered me through the TBI, I became a personal injury lawyer to serve and empower others through some of life’s most trying times. It’s this personal testament that defines my legal practice. To use a phrase: “I became a personal injury attorney because of what happened to me, and an estate planning attorney because of what could happen to you.”

Reflection and Resolution

Looking forward to the new year, I am excited about the opportunities it holds. At Schad Law, we are more than just a law firm; we are a community of individuals dedicated to encouraging the lives of those we serve. Here’s to another year of service, growth, and making a meaningful impact. Thank you for entrusting us with your stories and legal needs. We are honored to be part of your journey.
