Jim and his team help me out with a difficult real estate transaction- took the time to explain to me options that would benefit me Looking forward to working with him for some future will planning
"On all occasions where I have worked across from Jim I have found him to be honest, diligent, and deal-friendly. He works hard for his clients and is a pleasure to work with on real estate transactions."
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. I was fortunate to meet Jim at the very start of my career. In fact, when I was hired as an entry level associate for a insurance company, Jim was one of the top trial attorneys in my legal department. But more important than that, I found him to be always be kind, temperate and humble, as well as generous with both time and advice. In fact for years after I ventured out on my own, Jim was always eager to answer a question, and offer sometimes unsolicited caveats, lest I make a mistake. Jim was the first real mentor that I ever had, and all these years later, I am proud to call him my colleague and good friend."

Eventually, the case settled for $875,000 and the client also was approved for Social Security Disability and his New York City disability pension.
Initially the insurance carrier involved only wanted to resolve the case based upon a value for the initial fracture, but we prevailed upon them to increase the settlement of that case, ultimately receiving a $475,000 settlement
