I, along with my law school classmate and best friend, Kenneth. C. Russell, Esq., founded the law firm of Baratta and Russell in 1997. In 2004, the firm added Andrew P. Baratta, my brother, as a partner.
Every day I fight to help injured people regain the dignity taken away by the careless acts of others.
