After working in several large personal injury law firms, I started my solo practice in 1997 so that I could give my clients a continuity of representation - only one lawyer for your case, a lawyer who you meet at your initial interview, who will handle all important stages of the case up to and including a trial. I strive to give each client the comfort of knowing that when they call my office they will always have only one lawyer to deal with. In addition to myself, I have the support of medical experts, paralegals, nurses and medical researchers.

I graduated from Syracuse University, School of Management, in 1976, Summa Cum Laude. I chose St. John’s University Law School so I could also work my way through law school at a small, general practice law firm in Mineola, New York. My law practice began more than 25 years ago as a young associate learning the field of "medical malpractice." Since then I have had the privilege to work at some of the best personal injury law firms in New York and with some of the best lawyers in product liability, municipal liability, and general injury cases.

I was licensed to practice in law in New York State in 1980 and am admitted to practice in these Federal Courts: Western, Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. I am a member of the New York State Bar Association and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association.

Of all the different areas of malpractice, it is podiatry malpractice that has had a particular interest to me. Frustrated that the standard podiatry textbooks used in podiatry schools did not "tell all," I was able to learn podiatry surgery first hand by being a guest observer in the operating room and saw a variety of surgeries including bunions, hammertoe corrections, and heel spur/plantar fascia release. I then attended the same lectures and programs licensed podiatrists are required to attend to maintain their license. I keep current with new podiatry trends by subscribing to several leading podiatry journals including The Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association and The Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery. Finally, my experience brought me to a major teaching hospital in New York City as a regular guest lecturer to the podiatry residency program. My practice includes clients not only from New York City and its suburbs but also from upstate New York including Albany, Binghamton, and Buffalo and many small, rural towns and villages all over New York State.

With 25 years practicing law and representing hundreds of victims of malpractice, I have created a law practice in which my clients are comfortable knowing that their case is being handled with my personal attention, in the most professional manner, and without unreasonable delays. As a solo practicing attorney, I will handle every important stage of your case, from your initial interview to the conclusion of your case, either by settlement or trial.
