Jim has also handled a number of arbitrations. Jim also represents hospitals and physicians in medical malpractice actions and in matters before the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC).
Because of his experience, Jim is regularly called on to serve as local counsel for class action lawsuits and other complex litigation. An experienced appellate lawyer, he also handles appeals in New York state and federal courts.

A strong advocate of mentoring young attorneys in litigation skills, his presentations have included continuing education courses on practical trial skills, handling voir dire, evidentiary issues at trial, and New York Supreme Court practice.
