In 1993, Mr. Schreyer's litigation techniques resulted in uncovering hundreds of complaints of unsafe bleachers against a national bleacher manufacturer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The discovery ultimately led to a confidential settlement of more than a dozen serious injury claims stemming from the collapse of gymnasium bleachers at McDonough High School.

In 1994 Mr. Schreyer successfully litigated for the parents of a young child when a treating gynecologist failed to cauterize one of his patient's fallopian tubes.

In 1995, in a wrongful death case stemming from a drunk driving incident, Mr. Schreyer forced the insurer to pay its entire policy limits of $500,000 to the family of a young mother. The case was one of the largest ever concluded by his former firm.

In 1996 Mr. Schreyer obtained the maximum judgment against the state of Maryland for a prison attack that left a young man with a fractured jaw and several missing teeth. The case was appealed by the state, but the appeal was thrown out.

In 1998 Mr. Schreyer sued a manufacturer for a defective brake system that caused a lawn tractor to roll out of control when the engine stopped. The failure resulted in the tractor rolling over and fracturing a rider's leg. The settlement was confidential.

In 1999 three mechanics that were injured at work recovered a confidential settlement from international farm tractor manufacturer, Massey Ferguson. Mr. Schreyer proved that a defective hydraulic power steering system caused hot hydraulic fluid to spray onto them, causing severe burns, scarring and hearing loss.

In 2000, a chef represented by Mr. Schreyer received a full settlement of nearly $200,000 for scarring and partial hearing loss resulting from the implosion of his driver side window in an automobile collision. The insurance company's expert admitted during Mr. Schreyer's cross-examination that his opinion was not correct, forcing the insurer to concede that the impairment stemmed from the collision.

In 2001 a man represented by Mr. Schreyer for injuries in a collision with a Giant Food Van suffered disabling back and leg injuries, resulting in a settlement of more than one half million dollars.

Also in 2001, Mr. Schreyer convinced Maryland's highest court to overturn a decision of the Court of Special Appeals and the Circuit Court of Charles County in a wrongful death case. In doing so the highest court determined that the insurance company was responsible for paying underinsured motorist benefits to Mr. Schreyer' clients. The case settled for $900,000.
