Ms. Adimey has secured numerous multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements, including a record-setting $60 million medical malpractice verdict in Nassau County, believed to be the largest in the county’s history, on behalf of a man who was left permanently paralyzed after a routine epidural steroid injection.

She began her career as an Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County, trying dozens of felony and misdemeanor cases to verdict. Since joining Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubiinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf in 2014, she has been instrumental in achieving outstanding results for clients harmed by medical negligence or serious accidents. Her accomplishments led to her becoming a partner of the firm in 2017.

She serves on the Medical Malpractice Advisory Committee for the Supreme Court, New York County, and is a Board Member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA), where she also contributes to the Medical Malpractice and Labor Law Committees.

She has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America every year since 2015 and has consistently been recognized by Super Lawyers, including being named one of New York’s “Top Women Litigators.” She holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and has received the Client Distinction Award, an honor awarded to fewer than 1% of attorneys listed on Martindale.com.

Client Testimonials

We first met Marijo during an incredibly difficult and emotional time involving our child. The situation was deeply personal and sensitive, and we were scared, unsure, and overwhelmed. From the very beginning, Marijo made us feel safe. She listened without judgment, asked the right questions with care, and immediately earned our trust. Not just ours, but our child too. That, to me, was everything. What stood out the most was the way she treated our child with such respect, kindness, and understanding. She never lost sight of the fact that this wasn’t just a legal matter—it was a little child’s life. She always made sure we felt heard, informed, and supported. It felt like we had someone in our corner who truly cared.

Marijo was the best! She was wonderful and fully helped me out. I can’t recommend her enough.
