Dr. Fagel is a brilliant, dedicated and tenacious lawyer. My wife and I interviewed 12+ top firms across California in the aftermath of the unfathomable loss of our only child shortly after birth to preventable traumatic brain injuries. After 6 years of fertility treatment and 37 weeks of a pristine, complication-free pregancy, we never could have imagined we’d return home without our longed-for baby boy. With a level of professionalism and precision only a lifetime of experience and passion for medical justice can bring, Dr. Fagel led with integrity, clarity and strength. He took the time to explain our options and positioned us to succeed every step of the way, being mindful to push us forward and protect us at the same time. As a two-mother LGBT couple who had recently experienced a level professional dismissal that proved to be fatal to our most treasured family member, we were hesitant to trust anyone – justifiably frightened that our voices and instincts would once again go unheard. Brenden and Dr. Fagel made sure our experience was antithetical to those fears. They made time to listen, explain and strategize in alignment with our deepest values without ever attempting to minimize our concerns or downplay the gravity our loss. We could always trust Dr. Fagel to be candid with us and thoroughly analyze every element of the bigger picture. As our chapter working with Dr. Fagel comes to a close, we feel confident that our son is smiling down on us all with deep pride for a fight well fought and a legacy of love that only continues to grow in his honor. – Ché Landon
