I was born in France, and like so many others, I immigrated to New York.
As a New York accident lawyer, I have always represented victims of personal injury, albeit in a variety of contexts, including medical malpractice, products liability, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, and negligence. Always having worked in a small boutique firm, I take pride in handling every aspect of my cases, from inception through trial and appeals when necessary. I believe that a hands-on approach gives us, as plaintiffs' attorneys, more control over the cases and guarantees our clients a better result.
I give a lot of credit for my ability to handle complex medical malpractice cases to my wife, who is a physician. I could not overstate how helpful it is to have a surgeon at home who can answer all of my medical questions.
In 2002 and 2003 I had the privilege of arguing important firefighter cases in front of both the Appellate Division and the New York Court of Appeals.
