His practice focuses on Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury litigation, trial preparation and prosecution with a concentration on Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Accidents, Premises Liability, Labor Law and Victims of Sexual Abuse.

He recently obtained several settlements in the litigation stage for victims of motor vehicle accidents in the amounts of $100,000 in Queens, $400,000 in the Bronx, and $332,500 in Suffolk County.
