My firm and I handle personal injury, wrongful death, and mass tort cases, including car accidents, medical malpractice, and product liability claims. We also strongly advocate for sex abuse victims and victims of human trafficking.
I’ve been advocating for clients in Suffolk County, across New York, and nationally for over 30 years.
We have the best of both worlds, we combine local knowledge with broader personal injury and national mass tort experience, giving you both personalized attention and the resources of a larger network.
Yes. With my co-counsel nationally, we've successfully fought and won against insurance companies, product manufacturers and major corporations on behalf of my clients.
Absolutely. I stay personally involved in every case and make sure you receive updates and direct communication throughout the process.
I’ve helped clients secure millions in settlements and verdicts and have a long track record of aggressively pursuing justice and maximum compensation for my clients. I have devoted my practice to holding negligent parties accountable.
No. we work on a contingency basis, so you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. We always say, if we don't win, you don't pay. This is the truth.
We help you access medical care, navigate insurance claims, and manage financial stress while you focus on recovery.
Yes. My years of experience here give you an advantage because I know the local, county, and state judges, juries, and legal procedures
You can call my office directly or request a free, no-obligation case review here.
I chose to practice law because I care about people being treated with respect. Far too often, the common person gets their rights crushed by big companies, insurance companies or government. We help level the playing field against powerful entities.
The best part about this profession is helping people feel like they got a measure of accountability against a wrongdoer. They often walk away with a feeling that their voice was heard, that someone cared about them, and that there is hope.
My approach with clients is to be the best listener that I can be. I say this because I want to make sure that I have a legal strategy to help them, or even just to offer non-legal advice that can give comfort and a practical plan for whatever they are experiencing.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, cooking a big Sunday pot of sauce, the basic landscaping around the house, gardening, bicycling, and walking my two hound dogs.
