"Largest Wrongful Death Recovery Ever From a Private Person" Nancy Schultz turned to her family lawyer for guidance after her husband, Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz, was murdered by John du Pont.

Her lawyer knew that she needed strong representation in the claim against the resources of a wealthy man, and chose a team led by Arthur Raynes and Gerald McHugh, along with Mr. McHugh's former colleague and mentor, S. Gerald Litvin. The case was reported in the press to have resolved for $35,000,000, and was described as the largest wrongful death recovery from a private person in United States history.
