\"\"No one wants to face litigation. No one wants to navigate the confusing and often unsettling world of lawyers and judges. But sometimes litigation is unavoidable. In these cases, the skill and experience of the medical malpractice attorneys at Tiemeier & Stich is unparalleled. Effective, responsive and diligent, we have defended a wide array of cases for practitioners of many specialties, helping clients get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner possible. Sometimes that means achieving the best outcome by quickly settling a case. Other times, those results might only be won at trial. Either way, we work closely with the physicians and practices we represent, using our long-standing relationships in the medical community to retain well-known physician experts and to understand every aspect of the medical details that are involved. Greg Tiemeier, in particular, is widely known and respected around the country for his more than two decades worth of expertise and success in ophthalmology cases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
