About John
Biography
I have been an Attorney for 38 years. Nothing angers me more than seeing injustice in our court system caused by Attorney's who are incompetant or simply do not care. I care about my community, my reputation and most importantly , my clients. I represent my clients in a manner that I would like a member of my family to be represented.
If you or a loved one are injured in an accident, please call me. I am one of the few personal injury attorney's who have completed training in accident investigation at the New York Police Academy. My experience, as a former New York State Trooper, has helped me obtain fantastic results for my clients who have been involved in accidents.
I began my carreer in the Manhattan District Attorney where I handled hundeds of cases and gained valuable trial experience. I returned to WNY when I was appointed to the position of Assistant New York State Attorney General. I worked in the Environmentsl Crimes Unit. I have been in Private Practice since 1990 representing people who were in need of a competant and compassionate lawyer. I well trained and experience trial lawyer who gets results.
I didn’t start out in life planning to sue anyone. Chances are, neither did you. Call 716-300-0000
