Cross Erin Brockovich with Xena Warrior Princess (and add in a pinch of Florence Nightingale) and you get Doreen Shindel! She’s nothing short of brilliant!
My extremely complicated medical malpractice case was one that the “big attorneys in the city” were hesitant to touch, but Doreen Shindel wasn’t afraid to take it on and fight for me. And during the long drawn out battle, Doreen never backed down! While she was in the trenches working hard to bring me justice, she encouraged me to just relax and heal. She went up against my doctors’ big NYC law firms and won. Big time! It was like a classic David and Goliath story.
Despite her fierce fighting spirit, she’s extremely empathetic and nurturing. Because she’s also a registered nurse, she has powers (aka medical knowledge) beyond that of the average lawyer. Plus she’s also been a patient herself, so she really “gets it”.
Doreen Shindel is not just a wonderful attorney, but an amazing human being. I’m forever grateful to her and honored to know her.

When I was involved in an accident Doreen Shindel came highly recommended to take care of my case. I never needed a lawyer before and didn't know where to turn. After meeting with Doreen and explaining to me everything I needed to know, I felt so comfortable and knew she was going to take care of me. She is an amazing attorney, her work is impeccable and she really cares about her clients. She was able to secure an amazing settlement on my behalf. I am very happy with Doreens representation. I have and will continue to refer anyone I know to her because she'll provide the best legal advice and support.

Having had the good fortune of being referred to Doreen Shindel by a reputable community physician, I consider myself VERY lucky. At a time when I was feeling vulnerable & in terrible pain, I met Doreen and her team. Doreen was professional at all times but possessed something far greater than just her extensive expertise. Compassion! Also, she is a great listener, Her ethics are above reproach. The personal attention afforded to me by both Doreen and her staff was outstanding. Every phone call was returned. Every question acknowledged and answered. I highly recommend Doreen Shindel's legal abilities as as well as her making a client feel very important & heard!

It simply isn't enough today to be just a "good" lawyer. Some may describe great lawyers are measured by their reputation in their professional community. Other lawyers may focus on a lawyers ethics and integrity. Ms Shindel is the description of a great lawyer. She is deeply passionate about practicing law. One of the primary responsibilities of an attorney is to act as your advocate. Ms Shindel will work zealously not only to represent you, but to protect you. She has a strong working knowledge of the law, and combined with the love for her work and her passion for justice, she is unstoppable.

I would highly recommend Doreen Shindel as your Legal Counsel. She is an extremely professional, persistent and determined attorney. We had an issue with a non-paying tenant. Ms Shindel represented us in court and achieved the results we were looking for. I personally thought we had no chance of winning, but Ms Shindel would not hear of such a thing. She is hard-working and will not give up until she wins her case.

Doreen was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. After my husband contracted a dangerous infection, which was medically misdiagnosed by a doctor, which led to 5 corrective surgeries. We didn't know which end was up or down. We were dealing with doctors, medical bills, and the overwhelming emotions that my husbands career was over and that our future was in financial jeopardy.
On top of all that, we needed to prepare in the event this dangerous infection arose in the future. Doreen and her staff walked us through the medical malpractice process, prepared all the paperwork and guided us through the pre-trial process, making it easy. She answered all of our questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekend)! She took the time out of her busy schedule to make sure she personally followed up to ease our concerns. We truly value Doreen's strong perseverance, determination and professional skills to settle our case. There are really not enough words of praise on Doreens handling of our case; we are thankful to her and her staff.

I was overwhelmed with the details of a medical negligence proceeding. It was all very confusing and scary. Was not sure what to do next and where to turn, being afraid to make the wrong decision. Fortunately I contacted Doreen Shindel. Due to her medical background she could understand my dilemma much better and guided me in the right direction. Her level of knowledge were reassuring. I felt an immediate sense of calm after meeting with her. She took a personal interest in my case and went over all of the minor details. She was persistent in her follow up and kept me updated throughout the process. It was always comforting to talk to her during a very stressful period of my career. Thanks to Doreen, the case was resolved in my favor. I loved her dedication, personable approach and professionalism.
