When you entrust your personal injury matter to my firm, you will deal directly with me, the founding member of the firm, as well as our legal support staff. We pride ourselves on being accessible and responsive to our clients. For new client matters and true emergency situations, I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because many of our clients are unable to travel to our office as a result of their catastrophic injuries, I will personally travel to you or your loved one's home or hospital room for a free initial consultation.. We zealously represent our clients, and, although most cases settle prior to trial, we prepare every case that we accept as if it were going to trial, from the outset. We believe that money recoveries are maximized when our adversaries know that we have exhaustively and diligently prepared our case as ready for trial.. We pride ourselves on the fact that a significant percentage of our cases are referred to us by other attorneys who feel that our expertise could better serve them and their clients. Once a case is referred to us, both the attorney and client receive our high level of responsiveness and professionalism.. I began my legal career working in the downtown Manhattan in-house counsel office of a major insurance carrier. In addition, before establishing my firm, I practiced for several years as an associate with a Long Island law firm specializing in both the defense and prosecution of personal injury and medical malpractice claims, and commercial and insurance litigation.. I received my B.A. in Economics, cum laude, from St. John's University, and received my J.D. Degree from St. John's University School of Law in 1995. I am a member of the following associations:.

There is no better feeling for a lawyer representing an injured client than that experienced when we are able to obtain full compensation for the pain and suffering that a client has experienced.. Having been a trial lawyer for over 40 years, experience has taught me many lessons.  Some of the most important are to be passionate about your case, be prepared to prosecute your client’s claim all the way to verdict and to be relentless in obtaining justice for your client.. My law career started as an Assistant District Attorney where I gained priceless trial experience.   In private practice as a sole practitioner for a number of years, I learned the importance of maximizing every recovery possible.   Due to my extensive trial experience I came to handle some of the most hard fought cases in the Civil Court arena, those being medical malpractice cases.. I have been accorded the highest possible peer review rating (AV) for both legal ability and ethical standards by the internationally recognized Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory which rates attorneys worldwide. In fact, in 2015 I celebrated my twentieith year anniversary of such a rating.. I have now joined Cellino & Barnes because they offered me the best opportunity to continue what I do best – represent clients who are injured by the negligence of others, whether it be as a result of a motor vehicle accident, a  construction accident or medical malpractice.. For those clients that I have had the honor of representing in the past, I say thank you for putting your trust in me.  For those individuals who I might represent in the future, I promise you my best effort in our journey for justice.
