I excel at conducting depositions, negotiating settlements, preparing economic exposure reports, drafting pleadings, conducting discovery, and handling all aspects of active litigation. I have recovered tens of millions of dollars in reimbursement under the War Hazards Compensation Act involving claims stemming from statutorily defined war-risk hazards by creating procedures to streamline recovery from the Division of Federal Employees' Compensation ("DFEC").I have gained broad experience in handling claims brought under the New York State Workers’ Compensation Law and previously advised insurance companies, employers and TPA's on effective claims management and favorable claim resolution. In addition, I have successfully litigated matters before the NYSWCB district offices in Brooklyn, Harlem, Staten Island, Queens, Hempstead, Long Island, Peekskill, Newburgh, Binghamton, Syracuse, Rochester and Albany.I am admitted to practice law in the State of New York, the State of New Jersey, and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. I graduated from Syracuse University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science, and received my Juris Doctor from Vermont Law School in 2009.
