Firm: Lomena Law

I grew up in New York City. I decided to become a lawyer after I had a bad experience of with an attorney. I was young when a family friend referred me to a lawyer who seemed to want to help. It turned out they didn’t, and I could never get in touch with them. It was a difficult process and it ended up hurting me. I realized I could do a better job than that. I pursued a career in the law, vowing to do good work for my clients.. I thought I would go into corporate law, but realized I wouldn't be helping any one and I later fell in love with trial law. The judges at one of my trial law competitions in school asked me to join their new firm when I graduated. It happened to be a personal injury firm and I have been practicing personal injury law ever since. Along the way, in my ten plus years as an attorney, I represented the insurance companies in personal injury cases. Trying multiple defense cases.. I know where the Insurance companies are coming from and I can explain to my clients how the insurance companies work. A lot of clients, when they come through my door are broken. They have been through a lot and the insurance companies are bullying them. They dont know what to do. They come to me to even the score. That is what I  aim to do for my clients. I want my clients to know they are working with someone who has their back. I want to bring them back to a position of power.. In 2015 and 2016, I was named one of the top 40 trial attorneys under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers Association.. In 2016 I was named one the tio 25 Mass Tort attorneys by the Mass Tort Trial Association
