Verdicts & Settlements
This is truly one of the most fascinating cases imaginable. In June of 1985, I was retained by a woman who claimed that her granddaughter had not been cared for appropriately at Albany Medical Center Hospital. In this particular case, the grandmother of the four-month-old related that her daughter had brought the infant to Albany […]
In the early 90s I represented the widow of a man from Troy, New York, who by profession was a fireman, although he also had a second job doing back-office work for a bank. Despite being almost 50 years old, he managed to contract chickenpox. The chickenpox became invasive and attacked his throat. In addition […]

A number of years ago I learned of a man who had moved from North Carolina to Schenectady, New York to become a cantor in a synagogue. Sadly, he had been […]
For many years, during the time that I was in general practice, I tried a variety of cases not only for myself but also for other lawyers. In this particular case, a very prominent lawyer, Eugene Spada, with whom I had worked on various cases called me and said, “I’m called for trial in Fonda, […]
