I represented a woman who worked at JFK airport and was in a car accident. She underwent multiple surgeries and could not return to work. I assisted her with getting her Workers Compensation benefits, social security disability benefits and handled her car accident case against the parties responsible and recently settled it for 1.8 million. She will now be able to live for the rest of her life without worrying about money.

It was not easy and was unintentional in the beginning. Back 25 years ago, I was a registered Patent Attorney and did not like the field. While searching for a new field of law to practice, i ended up doing per diem work for several big personal injury law firms and learned the business. I handled much of their overflow and conflict work, and before i knew it, i had my own practice!

It's not what clients should look for. Its what clients should stay away from! Avoid firms that make promises about the amount they will receive. Avoid firms where the clients only deal with staff and paralegals and never talk to the attorney. Avoid firms that use runners to secure their clients. Avoid firms that do not come with a strong recommendation.

Local knowledge is very important, as the same case in upstate New York needs to be handled very differently than a case handled in the Bronx. Likewise, it is important to retain and attorney that is in the local courts often and knows the judges and court personnel.

I can advise the caller if i am the right attorney for them and if they are the right client for me! I do not accept all clients and cases so the latter is very important. I can advise about reasonable expectations, to an extent. I can advise about the legal process and what is involved and how the law works.

All the basics. Full contact information. Full details about the accident or claim. Details about the treatment history and current complaints. Willingness to go to medical providers for further treatment.

1. Accessibility. All of my clients get my personal cell phone number and can reach me 24/7. 2. Honest and forthright. I tell my clients what they should expect and what i truly think about the merits of their cases from the beginning. 3. Aggressive. I move my cases through the court quickly and aggressively. Files do NOT collect dust in my office.

Knowing that i built up my practice completely on my own! Knowing that i have full control of my work, clients, hours. Learning something new every day. You are NEVER too old to learn.

I am an avid fisherman, scuba diver (rescue certified), boater and brown belt in jujitsu.

Yes, i am a member of many legal associations in the area. i am on the NYC and Nassau County bar association referral network. I am very involved and active in various Jewish organizations.
