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.
