About Andrew
Biography
In addition to being elected to a second term as Village Justice for the Historic Village of Roslyn in 2018, I have been recognized as one of the National Trial Lawyers Civil Trial Lawyers Top 100 as well as being recognized by US News and World Report as one of the Best Lawyers in America and I have been named a "Super Lawyer" by my peers for more than ten year in a row. I focus on trying complex cases utilizing a top flight staff to prepare those top flight cases. Whether you've suffered a catastrophic injury in a fall at a construction site, have been injured in a car accident or a slip or trip and fall, or have suffered a serious injury as the result of medical malpractice, I am set up to move your case from intake to conclusion in a swift, efficient and friendly way with the best recovery possible.
I have been achieving outstanding results for my clients through litigation, trial and mediation for a quarter century and it would be both my honor and pleasure to make the person, company, hospital or municipality that injured you pay for your pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and your economic loss.
