Q&A

Tell us a little bit about your practice and what makes it unique.

When faced with an unexpected outcome from a medical diagnosis, or a medical treatment or procedure, patients and their families want to know if anything may have been done wrong, especially when left with a clear or potential
life-altering injury. As a result of such injuries, which include medical bills, loss of income, and the need for home care, Individuals and families often face a tremendous financial burden.

What other interests do you have?

When I first began my career there was a lack of opportunity for young women attorneys to be mentored, and especially in the area of medical malpractice litigation! So, as I advanced in my career, I sought out opportunities to be a mentor. As past-president of the Long Island Women’s Agenda, I often worked alongside young women who wanted to be involved in the community, and have both successful careers and family lives. We hosted many educational forums to share work and life experiences that we as professional women had dealt with, as we moved up in our professions. It was also rewarding to volunteer with American Heart Association’s LI office to help shed light on women’s heart disease, which is overlooked. As a volunteer board member for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association I can lend a hand in being a voice for the voiceless in New York State. As a dean of the New York State Trial Lawyers Institute I had the good fortune to help advance careers by facilitating classes for lawyers to enhance their knowledge of different law practice areas. In supporting Cerebral Palsy of Nassau and 100 Women Who Care, meeting charity leaders first-hand and experiencing their work, is a great reward. AS often as I can, providing community workshops on being a proactive patient, and writing pieces such as in the Long Island Corridor Journal of Strategic Alliances , allows me to feel rewarded to give back.
