Practice Areas

Personal Injury 90%

I am a trial lawyer who has taken well over 50 cases to verdict in the past 10 years. My practice is largely devoted to the defense of personal injury cases as counsel retained by insurance carriers. My experience ranges from handling premises liability cases, automobile accident cases, products liability and complex construction law cases.

90%
Insurance 5%

I handle insurance issues in several different areas. Primarily, I advise insurance carriers as to their respective rights and duties involving construction injury cases. Additionally, I have done considerable work in New York State concerning "Supplemental Uninsured Motorist" coverage, which concerns the rights of claimants seeking reimbursement from their own insurance companies for personal injuries.

Insurance Fraud 5%

I am developing an insurance fraud practice, and am currently working with two major carriers. This area of practice requires both litigation and insurance coverage skills.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
