I've been a personal injury trial attorney for over 25 years and have tried cases throughout New York State. Before becoming a plaintiff’s trial attorney I spent ten years as in-house counsel and trial attorney for one of the nation’s largest insurance carriers.  This perspective gave me a unique advantage in negotiating and trying cases against insurance companies and their attorneys. I am proud to say I've settled several multi-million dollar cases for seriously injured individuals, including workers injured in construction related accidents and motor vehicle accidents.

I view litigation as business by other means. It is a way to continue the negotiations after conventional means have failed. You never start a litigation without a clear goal for a desired outcome and, you never pursue a litigation without the flexibility in strategy to secure it. Kenneth M. Stenger, practice emphasis in real estate matters, with concentration in banking laws; general litigation including negligence, contract, insurance, zoning; personal injury; criminal defense; matrimonial and family law. Mr. Stenger graduated from Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, District of Columbia in 1976 and Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York in 1973.
