Lawrence Michael Karam

After working in several large personal injury law firms starting in 1980, I opened my solo practice in 1997 so that I could give each client more attention with a continuity of representation – only one lawyer for your case, the same lawyer you meet at your initial interview, and who will handle all important stages of the case up to and including a trial. I strive to give each client the comfort of knowing that when they call my office they will always have only one lawyer to deal with. In addition to myself, I have the support of medical experts, paralegals, nurses and medical researchers.

I was licensed to practice in law in New York State in 1980 and am admitted to practice in these Federal Courts: Western, Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. I am also a member of the New York State Bar Association and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association.

My practice covers all areas of Medical Malpractice including surgery, internal medicine, cancer, misdiagnosis, medication errors, and nursing home negligence.

Of all the different areas in medical malpractice, it is podiatry malpractice that has had a particular interest to me. Frustrated that the standard podiatry textbooks used in podiatry schools did not “tell all,” I was able to learn podiatry surgery firsthand by being a guest observer in the operating room and saw a variety of surgeries including bunions, hammertoe corrections, and heel spur/plantar fascia release. I then attended the same lectures and programs licensed podiatrists are required to attend to maintain their licenses.

My practice includes clients not only from New York City and its suburbs but also from upstate New York including Albany, Binghamton, and Buffalo and many small, rural towns and villages all over New York State. With 42 years opracticing law and representing hundreds of victims of malpractice, you can put your trust in me.
