Lawyer.com Memberย Questionnaire Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference. I received a call from a 10 year old girl who broke her wrists using monkey bars at school.ย  After falling, her teacher declined to let her see the nurse and she completed the school day.ย  She was healing well, but several attorneys turned down her case believing that her damages were limited.ย  The School Districtโ€™s insurance company claimed that they were only responsible for a couple of hours of pain and suffering and offered nuisance value.ย  I took the case and sued the School District for depriving the child of her civil rights under 42 U.S.C. section 1983, by depriving the child of her basic human right to medical care.ย  The case settled quickly after that for a substantial settlement. How did you build a successful practice? The cornerstone of my practice, as with most, is to listen specifically to my clientโ€™s needs.ย  I believe what sets my practice apart, is creativity in designing approaches to reach a clientโ€™s goals using all available avenues.ย  To achieve this goal, I have developed expertise in all means available.ย  From trial to alternative dispute resolution, I have the expertise to achieve the goals of my clients in the means that best suits their objectives. What should clients look for in aย lawyer? First and foremost, clients should look for an experienced lawyer who listens to them and understands their core objectives.ย  I believe that a fundamental component to the lawyerโ€™s job is to ensure that he or she understands exactly what the clientโ€™s objectives are.ย  Once the objectives are clearly identified, the attorneyโ€™s responsibility to provide the client with available options to achieve that goal and an honest evaluation of the case. What information can you provide in a free phone consultation? During our initial telephone conversation, we will discuss the aspects of your case and get an understanding of not only what happened, but what you would like to have happen moving forward.ย  At this point, we will determine if my firm is an appropriate match for you.ย  If so, we will make a plan to meet and discuss what materials, if necessary, we should review as we continue to develop a plan. What information do you need in a free phone consultation? During the initial telephone conversation, clients should be prepared to generally discuss the nature of their case and be prepared with as many details as possible.ย  We need to know what happened, and how it has impacted you.ย  In addition, we need to know the timing of the occurrences that give rise to your potential claim.ย  Time may be of the essence, so please call as soon as possible.ย  We are here and ready to help you. What differentiates you from otherย lawyersย in your community? What differentiates me from other lawyers in this field is the perspectives on the law and the system that I have honed over the course of my career.ย  One of the keys to the development of my practice was my time as a clerk with the Appellate Division, Third Department.ย  Not only was I exposed to several types of cases while there, but I gained the valuable and rare perspective of the cases from the Courtโ€™s view.ย  Using these experiences, I have endeavored to create a practice model that is friendly to the Courtโ€™s needs.ย  I find that this approach has been helpful to achieve client goals. What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? The most rewarding part of my job is the satisfaction that I take away from making a difference in my clientโ€™s lives.ย  Clients come to our firm with a need, and often in distress.ย  We work hard to reach a conclusion of their case that meets their needs and improves their lives.ย  The opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others is what sparked my interest in the law years ago and still fuels my practice today. What are your other interests in addition to law? I am an active volunteer in the Community.ย  I have four children and coach youth football.
