RN MEd CLNC and Mediator
I had the pleasure of watching Gerry on his latest video. He is great. He is so engaging. Much of this is second nature for me but I review the core of my CLNC certification so that it is second nature. I will enjoy watching him often. He is just great !!!

Replied last April 1, 2013I have often written about “Who is My Ideal Client?” This particular gentleman happened to be my ideal client. He was intelligent. He kept an open mind. He asked lots of great questions. He was receptive to my ideas. He made suggestions. He listened to my advice. He understood our strategies. What happened to his wife was tragic. What happened to her was preventable. Unfortunately, the doctor caring for her and the hospital staff failed to recognize what was going on which ultimately led to her untimely death. It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to represent this gentleman in his quest for justice. Thank you for your kind words above. Gerry Oginski, Esq. 516-487-8207
