I spent the first nine years of my professional career prosecuting Child Abuse, Neglect, and Domestic Violence cases and presenting CPS Expungement Hearings on behalf of the Genesee County Department of Social Services. A former consultant to the New York Public Welfare Association and member of the Board of Directors of the New York Federation on Child Abuse and Neglect (now named Prevent Child Abuse New York), I was active during those years helping to preserve and strengthen Child Abuse and Neglect laws in New York State. After leaving government service, I continued to be active in defending parents in the same cases that I used to prosecute. Of late, I have focused my Family Law practice on Fair Hearings before the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), and on Family Court appeals to the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court.
How we handle your personal injury matter depends upon how you were injured, and the nature and extent of your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
In medical malpractice cases, a sliding scale is used to determine the fee but basically it’s the same idea: If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee.
