introduction
"It’s a people’s endeavor. My greatest satisfaction is being a voice for my clients and getting a result that will have a real impact on people’s lives. In this area of law, you can make a real difference."
Taking the Time to Get to Know You
Rob believes that the firm’s strong connections with its clients are a major factor in its success. He says, “We take the time to get to know our clients as people, beyond the facts of their cases. We learn as much as possible about how being seriously injured has affected them and their family, not just physically but also emotionally. Since our focus is on getting our clients the maximum recovery, we need to understand the impact on the whole person.”
Clients tell us, “You’re not a typical lawyer, because you take the time to speak with me.” Rob’s clients know they really matter to him. When not practicing law, Rob can often be found in local clubs playing the Blues harmonica, jamming with other musicians, or playing in his band “Cee Songbird and The Sound Travelers” performing in New York City and the Hudson Valley. He is an avid cyclist and has also studied acting in Manhattan, appearing both in community theatre and film.

Cases
$2,885,000 Medical Malpractice
Our client, in her late 30’s, had undergone surgery for the relief of back pain. The surgeon damaged a bundle of nerves, unnecessarily taking a biopsy in the mistaken belief that she may have had a tumor. After the operation, the patient developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy with chronic pain and deteriorating use of her leg. She underwent a below the knee amputation. She has resumed a relatively normal life with a prosthesis. After a long and protracted defense, the case settled before opening statements.$2,175,000 – Failure to Timely Diagnose
Failure to Timely Diagnose and Treat a Child’s Brain Tumor. This tragic matter involved the alleged failure to order an MRI of the brain made worse by miscommunication between a pediatrician and pediatric neurologist resulting in an eight-month delay in diagnosing a 5-year-old’s brain tumor. Unfortunately, after two surgeries to remove the tumor, it reoccurred and eventually took the life 5 years later of this brave and beautiful child. We never gave up, persisting even after defense cancer experts and the child’s brain surgeon informed that even with a prompt diagnosis the tumor was a rare one and may have reoccurred whether or not there was a timely diagnosis.$8,365,000 Municipal Liability
During a recent winter, a 17 year old female student was a passenger in a motor vehicle traveling on the north side of the Van Wyck expressway in Queens, New York. The driver of the vehicle skidded on ice, drove up an underpass and the unrestrained female passenger was ejected. She suffered permanent partial paralysis due to a fracture in the vertebrae in her neck. She also suffered a fractured skull and pelvis and a punctured lung. It was alleged that the ice condition was long standing in nature and ignored by both the City and State of New York for many years. The record breaking settlement came during the second week of jury selection.
