lock O’Toole & Murphy (BOM) is known as a leader in the competitive field of plaintiffs’ personal injury litigation, and with good reason: Since its founding, the firm has obtained more than 300 results in excess of a million dollars and well over a billion dollars in total recoveries for its clients. These results include the largest non-medical malpractice injury verdict in New York ($110 million), the largest non-medical malpractice injury verdict in Long Island ($32.7 million), and the second-largest verdict in the New York State Court of Claims ($20.1 million). Notably, the firm has achieved this success by adhering to a law firm model that places equal emphasis on skill and compassion—an approach that has never been more evident than during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our commitment to our clients is very important to us, but we are also very much committed to being a good place for people to come to work. It’s important to us that our employees are safe,” says partner Jeffrey Block. “As a firm that is 100 percent committed to helping people, that attitude has absolutely informed our response to the pandemic.” The pandemic has imposed many changes in the legal community but BOM has remained a constant force in the legal world, continuing its run of excellence despite the obstacles presented by COVID-19. Notably, BOM has not furloughed or reduced the pay of its employees and has continued to push its clients’ cases forward. In fact, the firm has secured a flurry of seven- and eight-figure settlements for its clients that has put it on track for its most successful year ever. “We are committed to treating everyone who works at our firm like family, which means doing everything we can to alleviate their stress during this difficult time,” says partner Daniel O’Toole. “For both employees and clients, we want to make sure they know that the people they work with and who work for them care about them and care about the wellbeing of their families.” This commitment to helping others is reflected in how BOM gives back outside the office. The firm sponsors a number of charities, including The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation, Tuesday’s Children and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, for which it runs an annual St. Jude autumn wine tasting fundraising event attended by more than 700 people. Since 2007, this event has raised more than $6 million to help battle pediatric cancer, and in 2019 the event raised a record $850,000. “We are more than just lawyers for our clients—we fight for them in court, but we’re also a law firm that takes prides in helping clients through their life struggles and being their friend during challenging times,” says partner Stephen Murphy. “That approach helps us represent them, but it also fosters longer-term relationships. Our clients know they can rely on us during tough times; they know we will answer the call.”

ITH A CONSISTENT TRACK RECORD of delivering landmark, often record-setting verdicts and settlements, Morelli Law Firm has become the preeminent firm for all civil litigation. Indeed, the firm successfully pursues a diverse array of cases, including personal injury, truck and auto accident, construction, employment discrimination, medical malpractice, and product liability matters, among others. Led by its founder Benedict Morelli, the firm has secured more than a billion dollars on behalf of its clients—thanks in part to its willingness and preparedness to go to trial. “First and foremost, I am a trial lawyer,” notes Morelli, who has a formidable record of success in the courtroom. “I am always prepared to go to trial, which allows me to hold out for the best possible result and not take quick settlement offers from opposing counsel.” Among his most high-profile results, Morelli achieved a landmark settlement with Wal-Mart on behalf of comedian Tracy Morgan and five other plaintiffs who were severely injured in an accident involving a company truck. He also was one of the first attorneys to successfully represent a Fox News staffer in a claim of sexual harassment against the network and Bill O’Reilly. More recently, Morelli achieved a favorable verdict and then settlement in a slip-and-fall case against the United States Tennis Association on behalf of Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard. Morelli continues to generate significant, headline-grabbing results for his clients. In December 2019, for example, he and his team secured a $102 million verdict for a 30-year-old Suffolk County man who was assembling a Best Buy booth at Live Nation’s Jones Beach theatre in 2013 when a fork lift crashed
through the bottom, causing him to fall and sustain severe traumatic brain injuries and a skull fracture. In July 2020, a Manhattan judge upheld $40.6 million of the verdict in painand-suffering damages, which if confirmed on appeal would be more than double any past pain-and-suffering award affirmed in New York State. Also, in December 2019, Morelli settled a notable case against MGM on behalf of a 6-year-old girl who was electrocuted at the MGM National Harbor Resort in Maryland by touching a staircase handrail. She suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and was left paralyzed. “Many of my clients will require care for the rest of their lives,” Morelli notes. “They have suffered extraordinary injuries, and these awards have to account for a number of factors, such as the future cost of medical care, inflation, and economic loss. I make sure I get them what they need to have some degree of a quality of life.” Currently, Morelli is representing the estate of a well-known New York City architect who was killed after being struck by a falling piece of a building façade from a midtown building. He is also representing a 24-year-old woman who suffered severe brain injuries after being struck by patio furniture that fell from a Manhattan penthouse above Union Square; the suit is being brought against several parties, including the apartment owner, billionaire and co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, Michael Rubin. Additionally, Morelli continues to represent hundreds of women in cases against Johnson & Johnson alleging that their use of the company’s talcum powder caused their ovarian cancer.

VER THE PAST 60 YEARS, the lawyers of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore (KDLM) have helped victims of medical malpractice, negligence, wrongful death, and personal injury rebuild their lives following devastating negligence and injuries. Along the way, their significant victories have set records in the area of plaintiffs’ litigation. Senior partner Thomas Moore, who has obtained more than 90 jury verdicts over his career, is believed to have won more jury verdicts in excess of $1 million than any other lawyer in American history. And the firm’s other senior partner, Judith Livingston, is thought to have obtained more jury verdicts than any other female litigator in the country, with more than 30 jury verdicts in excess of $1 million.
• Catastrophic Injury • Medical Malpractice • Wrongful Death • Product Liability
“We bring a thorough and selective approach to the litigation process, where no stone goes unturned in our pursuit of justice,” says Livingston of the firm’s success. “We see every case as an opportunity to ensure the court system works and people are provided with the resources they need to put their lives back together.” In total, KDLM has achieved more than $1 billion in recoveries, thanks to record results like a 2014 jury award of $172 million in a case where a 29-year-old woman was left paralyzed and mute due to the negligence of the EMTs who responded to her mother’s 911 call. It was one of the largest verdicts ever awarded in New York state and one of the largest in the United States for that year.
Given this history at trial, Livingston and Moore are both members of the Inner Circle of Advocates—an elite group of the top 100 trial attorneys in the country—and Livingston is the first woman and youngest person ever invited to join the prestigious group. They are also regularly included in The Best Lawyers in America © along with partner Matthew Gaier and managing partner Carmine A. Rubino. Both Livingston and Moore have been named as a Best Lawyers ® New York City “Lawyer of the Year” in previous years for medical malpractice law in 2011 and 2013 and plaintiffs’ personal injury litigation in 2012, respectively. Beyond winning money for their clients, the firm’s attorneys are very active in achieving fair and just laws for
personal injury victims (a famous Moore trial resulted in the Libby Law legislation, which regulates hospital practices to prevent negligence caused by fatigue). The firm also participates in a number of charities, including the Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert, for which Livingston previously served as co-president. And both Moore and Livingston remain actively involved at their respective alma maters, Fordham Law School and Hofstra Law School. “The lawyers here have a great deal of compassion for what our clients have been through,” notes Moore. “The types of cases we handle may differ, but all our clients have one thing in common: the need to find justice after suffering debilitating injury and loss.”

he trial lawyers of Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf (GGCRBHS&M) continued building the 100-year-old firm’s longstanding legacy in 2020. Based in Manhattan but representing clients throughout New York and New Jersey, the firm has a reputation for successfully litigating the most serious and significant catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and general negligence cases. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the firm secured notable verdicts and achievements on behalf of clients in 2020 and also filed a new high-profile suit that further demonstrates the firm’s tireless advocacy. In its 2020 edition, Best Lawyers® named partner Howard S. Hershenhorn the “Lawyer
of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation– Plaintiffs in New York City. Super Lawyers also recognized managing partner Ben Rubinowitz as one of the “Top 10 Lawyers in New York City.” These accolades and several others from esteemed legal organizations and peers are a testament to the firm’s lasting presence in New York’s legal community. In 2019, Rubinowitz and partner Richard Steigman secured one of the largest awards for pain and suffering ever affirmed by a trial court in New York State—$59.2 million—for a former New York City high school student who was disfigured during a botched chemistry experiment. In 2020, Rubinowitz and Steigman returned to court to ensure justice was upheld. The award was affirmed by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Alexander Tisch, who upheld the prior
verdict for past and future pain and suffering. “Our client was 16 years old when he suffered disfiguring burns to his neck and face that, unfortunately, will last for his entire life,” Rubinowitz said. “We were gratified that the court acknowledged the magnitude of his injuries. We will continue to fight for him, as we have for all these years.” The firm is also revered for accomplishments representing victims of sexual abuse in high-profile cases. In September 2020, Rubinowitz and partner Peter Saghir filed a lawsuit against actor Kevin Spacey, under the NY Child Victims Act, on behalf of two people who alleged sexual abuse by the Oscar winner when they were teens. One plaintiff is Anthony Rapp, widely known for film and stage roles in “Rent.” Rapp detailed his encounter in a 2017 interview, stating that
80 Pine Street, 34th Floor | New York, NY 10005 Phone: 212.943.1090 | Fax: 212.425.7513
he was 14 and Spacey was 26 at the time of the encounter in 1986. The other victim knew Spacey as his acting teacher and alleged being engaged in sexual intercourse with him several times in the early 1980s when he was only 14 years old. “Both clients’ credible allegations are helping to further usher an era of change,” Saghir said. “Speaking out took incredible bravery and has inspired others to come forward against Spacey and other predators. We will continue to fight for our clients in court to secure justice and to hold the defendant accountable.” The plaintiffs were referred to GGCRBHS&M following the historic results it achieved in a trailblazing abuse case in 2018. Rubinowitz and Saghir obtained a record-setting $27.5 million settlement
from the Diocese of Brooklyn on behalf of four boys who were sexually abused by a lay religion teacher. The settlement resulted in the largest ever awarded to an individual sexual abuse victim in New York. These results extend the firm’s successful track record of success achieved in and out of the courtroom. GGCRBHS&M’s superior record of accomplishment includes more than 650 cases resulting in verdicts or settlements exceeding $1 million in the past decade. Legal media has also recognized the firm’s impact. Ten GGCRBHS&M lawyers were listed in the 2021 New York Edition of Best Lawyers®: Ben Rubinowitz, Jeffrey Bloom, Howard Hershenhorn, Anthony Gair, Richard Steigman, Christopher Donadio, Marijo Adimey, Diana Carnemolla,
and Stephen Mackauf in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Stephen Mackauf in Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions Plaintiffs. Rachel Jacobs, David H. Larkin, and James Rubinowitz were also listed as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in 2021 in Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs. Rubinowitz also noted that the firm’s shift to remote and in-person services during the COVID-19 pandemic further demonstrated their commitment to clients. “We have fully adapted to the COVID environment and intend to move forward with the same dedication and zeal that we’ve had for more than 100 years,” Rubinowitz said. “We will always make ourselves accessible to current and future clients through the medium that works best for them.”

he trial lawyers of Gersowitz Libo & Korek P.C. (GLK) continued building upon the firm’s longstanding legacy of excellence in 2020 through its achievements in and out of the courtroom. U.S. News – Best Law yers® “Best Law Firms” again ranked GLK Tier 1 in Personal Injury Litigation and Medical Malprac tice Law for plaintif fs in New York City in 2021. Named partners Edward H . G er sow it z and Jef f S . Korek , and par t ner Michael Fruhling are honored to be individually recognized for plaintiffs’ Personal Injury Litigation and Medical Malpractice Law in New York City by Best Law yers in America © in 2021. This level of preeminence is shared throughout the firm. Under the leadership of senior associate Daniel Linson, two associates were named to New York’s Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in 2021: Avinoam Laby for Personal Injur y Litigation – Plaintif f ’s and Anthony Makarov for plaintif f s’ Personal Injur y Litigation and Medical Malpractice Law. “Since the firm’s founding in 1984, our lawyers have secured more than $900 million for victims of catastrophic injury and medical negligence, as well as construction law,” said Korek, who was named Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” in New York City for Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs (2020) and Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (2016). Though trials came to a halt due to COVID-19 in 2020, GLK still favorably resolved many matters via settlement and mediation—one of which resulted in a high-seven-figure recovery. Meanwhile, local clients sought GLK for justice following severe tragedies. The firm represents the plaintiff in a high-profile wrongful death case; a 43-year-old Bronx electrician and father of two was fatally struck by a car while riding a bicycle on Pelham Bridge in June 2020. The f irm is also looking into a defective road design claim. GLK’s law yers are revered as leaders in the legal community as well. For example, Gersowitz and Korek have served as presidents of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, making GLK one of the few firms in the state with two named partners to hold that prestigious title. Their presence has clearly been noticed by a growing and national clientele; GLK and its partners have represented the family member of a U.S. Supreme Court justice and a member of Congress. Leaders of major corporations have also retained GLK as general counsel to handle their personal family matters. The firm is equally proud of its philanthropic work with local organizations, which strengthened the morale of New York neighborhoods during lockdown periods. Through a continued partnership with the Bronx-based Gardiner Foundation, the firm benefited local college-bound youths with substantial scholarships. Fruhling added that the firm quickly adapted to the disruption caused by the pandemic. “We seamlessly transitioned to vir tual and remote capabilities and even hired talented new associates in an effort to better ser ve our clients,” Fruhling said. Those associates are Justine Uy and Cydney Korek, a former Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney. Ed Gersowitz noted that with their joining, GLK is now staf fed with three Fordham Universit y Law School graduates. “Other firms scaled back during this challenging year,” Gersowitz said, “but we innovated and moved forward.”

BodnarMilone LLP B
ODNARMILONE LLP OFFERS A UNIQUE DEPTH OF RESOURCES and experience in marital dissolution and post-divorce matters. Indeed, seven attorneys at the nine-attorney firm were recognized by Best Lawyers® for 2021, including several attorneys who are AV Preeminent rated by Martindale-Hubbell. Many are also Fellows of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and past Chairs of the Family Law Sections of the New York State Bar Association and Westchester County Bar Association and current members of their Executive Committees, as well as designated as Super Lawyers and included in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in American Law and Who’s Who in the World. The issues encompassed within matrimonial and family practice reflect the most fundamental of
concerns, namely peoples’ children, their homes, their life savings, possibly business interests or professional practices, and their financial futures. BodnarMilone’s practice is devoted to working closely with its clients to resolve these issues, preferably through negotiated settlement or Collaborative Divorce, if possible— though when that is not possible, through vigorous and deft litigation. BodnarMilone is highly regarded by the Bench and Bar alike for its level of expertise and professionalism, attention to detail, integrity, and responsiveness. These qualities are brought to bear in the firm’s representation of each client. The firm serves not only as an advocate for its clients, but also as a counselor at law for them. Clients are counseled as to the “bigger picture” so they can better understand the ramifications of
the different options or actions and thereby make better, more informed choices and avoid unintended consequences which might be borne of emotion-based decision-making. “Our experience allows us to help our clients develop and achieve realistic goals, translating their concerns into concrete solutions,” notes Lydia Milone, who has been practicing law for over three decades. “By approaching each case with ingenuity and integrity, we’ve been able to make a real difference in people’s lives.” “BodnarMilone shepherds its clients through both marital dissolution and post-divorce matters, working with them to achieve results tailored to their unique situations,” says Peter Bodnar, who brings more than 45 years of experience to his practice.

In a city as populous as New York, homelessness has been a problem for years. What can be done to fix this? By Janice Zhou
IN
JULY 2020, THERE WERE 58,089 HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO SLEPT IN THE NEW YORK CITY MUNICIPAL SHELTER SYSTEM, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH), the oldest advocacy and direct service organization for homeless men, women, and children. Families make up two -thirds of the

NEW YORK AREA
homeless shelter population. The rate of homelessness in the city has reached the highest levels in recent years since the Great Depression. The number of homeless single adults is 133 percent higher than it was 10 years ago, according to the organization. While the pandemic exacerbated the problem due to leaving many unemployed
and evicted from their homes, the problem star ted long before, with NCH citing the lack of affordable accessible to lower-income residents as the primary cause of homelessness. We talked to two Best Lawyersrecognized attorneys to discuss the growing rate of homelessness in New York City and what can be done to solve the issue.

How could homelessness be prevented? Almost all of the homeless population today could be prevented by abolishing rent regulation and other anti-capitalistic programs that remove housing stock from pool of available housing and raise housing prices. With an economy as strong as New York with so many resources, only severe governmental interference via poorly drafted housing laws or closing down businesses could bring housing to its knees. In the last two years, the state government and state executive branch managed to achieve this feat causing a sharp decline in housing and the economy in general. What are legal measures that can be taken to combat the problem of homelessness in New York? A government needs to take care of its weakest citizens and incentivize property owners to provide housing for those that need it most. However, that same government has a duty to provide a platform to allow a democracy and a capitalist system where businesses can thrive. Without one, the other will not be an option. Passing housing laws that punish property owners and reward very few tenants like with rent regulation and the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act passed in 2019 have led to thousands of vacant units and tens of millions of dollars in less tax revenue for New York City and State. Once these laws are repealed and a free-market system is restored, we can pass laws that help all citizens and provide for the most needy—our homeless population who should be guaranteed food and a bed and assistance finding a job. How can homeless shelters be improved? Homeless shelters work when societies do not have barriers on their ownership to property. When free from government intervention, their property is worth more and they can donate more and do donate more to homeless organizations because they know that the key to attracting tenants or owners to an area is having a safer city where everyone has a place to live.
“The rate of homelessness in the city has reached the highest levels in recent years since the Great Depression.”
Sidley Austin
What is your opinion on the current state of homelessness and poverty in New York? Homelessness in NYC is at crisis levels. As unemployment remains at high levels due to the pandemic, and with the permanent loss of jobs in many sectors, including the hotel, hospitality, restaurant, and retail sectors, low- and middle-income workers are not going to be able to re-enter the workforce quickly, and as a consequence, many will be forced into homelessness. Do you think it has improved or worsened in recent years (prior to the pandemic)? Prior to COVID-19, homelessness remained a serious and increasing problem in the city. One data point that demonstrated to me the serious problem of homelessness and the shortage of affordable housing was the following (I am on the board of a non-profit developer of supportive, affordable housing in upper Manhattan): A few years ago, the nonprofit opened a new development with 144 affordable units of housing. The organization received over 60,000 applications for those 144 units. Most of the applicants were living in shelters or other relative’s apartments. What factors contribute to homelessness? Just to name a few factors: income disparity and systemic racism. Lack of educational programs supporting job training. Lack of proper attention to mental health support and drug- and alcohol-abuse rehabilitation.

How has the trend for the rate of homelessness been in recent years? Homelessness has been on an upward trajectory for several years. How has the pandemic impacted homelessness? For two reasons: First, job losses have been concentrated in lower-income groups who already had a tenuous hold on housing. Second, during a pandemic you cannot place as many unrelated people in a shelter, and there is resistance to placing them in hotels. What can be done to help decrease the rate of homelessness? Rezoning to allow higher-density housing which should eventually lead to lower rental costs. However, this could have drastic effects on many neighborhoods. There are tradeoffs to whatever approaches are used. W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

Bernard A. Krooks Elder Law White Plains, NY
S
OCIAL ISOLATION IS A WELLKNOWN RISK FACTOR for elder mistreatment. When COVID-19 hit New York, seniors had decreased access to community gathering settings such as senior centers, leaving seniors confined to their living arrangements. According to the World Health Organization, in institutions such as nursing homes and long-term care facilities, rates of elder abuse were high; 2 in 3 staff reported that they committed abuse in the past year. Bernard A. Krooks, White Plains’ 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” for Elder Law and the chair of Littman Krooks LLP’s Elder Law and Special Needs department, defends the vulnerable population. “Our firm has always been clientdriven,” Krooks said. “This has been and will continue to be our compass by which we navigate all professional relationships. We always do whatever is best for the client. Whenever lawyers at our firm are faced with difficult decisions, we always ask ourselves: ‘What is best for the client?’” One of Krooks’ most memorable cases involved helping a family protect the mother’s assets from the catastrophic cost of long-term care. Doing so allowed the family to instead put the effort into helping improve the quality of life for her son who has special needs. “This case allowed me to utilize my skills, knowledge, and experience in both the elder law and special needs areas to
make a real difference in the lives of the folks in this family,” he said. This case is just one example of why Krooks finds practicing in his area of law gratifying. “Without question, the most rewarding aspect is the direct impact it can have on people’s lives,” he explained. “Being able to make a difference in other people’s lives in a positive way is why I still love to come to work every day.” But even with his passion for his work drives his motive to succeed, Krooks acknowledges the need for balance. “While I have been blessed to have had an extremely rewarding career, there have been challenges along the way,” Krooks said. “One of the most challenging things for me to be able to accomplish was to have the proper work-life balance. I have found that if I devote the necessary time to ensure that my personal needs are met, that I am in a much better mindset to be of maximum assistance and value to my clients.” Besides being intelligent and having the requisite knowledge and understanding of the law, there are other characteristics that create a great elder law attorney, according to Krooks. “Leaders in the field also must have compassion for their clients and be approachable,” he said. “Listening to clients is sometimes a forgotten art. Lawyers who take the time to really listen to clients are in a position to do a much better job of representing those clients.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

the field of medical malpractice law, Simonson Goodman Platzer P.C. is rated at the top by its peers, and in 2019, Paul Simonson was named Best Lawyers® New York City “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs, a top honor awarded only to attorneys with the highest ratings in a particular metro and practice area in the Best Lawyers peerreview survey. The leading firm covers a wide array of areas, including wrongful death, surgical errors, late cancer diagnosis, and weight loss surgery malpractice, and over decades has successfully represented clients in thousands of cases across New York and New Jersey. Year after year the firm receives referrals from mega-firms and single practitioners due to its reputation for stellar recoveries while adhering to the highest ethical standards.
With more than 40 years of experience as a medical malpractice attorney, Simonson has an extraordinary 98 percent success rate recovering money for his clients, winning hundreds of millions to date. “We understand these are very difficult times in our clients’ lives,” Simonson says. “But with our skills and resources, we can guide clients through the complicated legal process of a medical malpractice or catastrophic injury case and ensure their dignity remains intact as we work to obtain the maximum compensation they deserve.” Simonson says about the “Lawyer of the Year” award that, “I was honored and grateful for the high rating bestowed on me by my fellow New York attorneys,” says Simonson. “I have always measured the quality of my legal services by the results I achieve for my clients, and I think this award speaks to my long track record on behalf of those seriously injured due to

others’ errors and negligence.” Goodman, who was named partner in 2009, has garnered his own accolades. Beginning in 2013, he was named to The Best Lawyers in America© list for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. Platzer has been recognized for his outstanding legal knowledge, ethical standards, and judgment over his more than 30-year career helping clients reach successful verdicts in medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Simonson credits his firm’s outstanding reputation to the trial-tested techniques and exceptional communication skills of his team, who “regularly go up against larger, insurance-backed defense firms with much higher attorney head counts and succeed.” Simonson says, “Given the individual and collective knowledge of our team, there is no malpractice, accident, or injury case that is too big or complex for us to handle.”

hen facing catastrophic events, Douglas & London has time and again proved its ability to secure justice, even in the most challenging instances of negligence and corporate malfeasance. The firm, which handles personal injury, mass tort, and consumer class action cases, has represented first responders and local New Yorkers who suffered long-term health issues following exposure to toxic dust after the 9/11 terrorist attacks; residents who suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy; and thousands of good Americans injured due to dangerous and defective pharmaceuticals and medical devices or other defective products, including faulty ear plugs that have caused hearing loss in thousands of service members who the firm represents in cases against a Fortune 100 company that put profits over people. This year, the firm has devoted significant time and resources to helping countless people throughout the United States who were poisoned by large corporations dumping chemicals into local rivers and water systems. The firm continues to spearhead these cases in consolidated federal court proceedings in Charleston, South Carolina, and Ohio, as well as in individual cases in New Jersey, New Hampshire, and other places around the country where PFAS chemicals have been found in drinking water supplies. Additionally, as COVID-19 ravages communities across the country, Douglas & London and the firm’s business interruption lawyers are advocating for manufacturers, retailers, service and hospitality companies, and other businesses that are suffering catastrophic losses due to mandated COVID-19 closures. “The impact of COVID-19 has been felt by businesses across the country, with many shuttering due to insurance companies denying legitimate business interruption claims and not honoring

their responsibilities to their customers” says partner Gary Douglas. “Consequently, we are fighting tooth and nail for our neighbors in New York City and others throughout the country who are looking to file COVID-19 business interruption claims.” In this way, Douglas & London continues to take on some of the largest corporations in the world, and win. The firm, which is ranked Tier 1 nationally for Mass Tort Litigation/ Class Actions - Plaintiffs by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” for 2021, has obtained more than $4 billion in recoveries for its clients, including pioneering the first verdict in New York against the tobacco industry (a $20 million jury award); spearheading approximately $2 billion in settlements with Bayer Healthcare in the Yaz/ Yasmin birth control multidistrict litigation; achieving a $690 million settlement on behalf of approximately 8,000 plaintiffs injured by Eli Lilly’s drug Zyprexa; securing a $650 million settlement on behalf of approximately 3,900 claimants injured by the drug Pradaxa (manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim); obtaining a $670 million settlement on behalf of approximately 3,600 people injured as a result of exposure to the toxic chemical C8, which DuPont dumped into the drinking water in the Ohio River Valley; securing the only jury verdict on behalf of the plaintiffs in the amount of $28 million, which helped pave the way for a $775 million settlement with Bayer and Johnson & Johnson for all plaintiffs as a result of injuries from the drug Xarelto; and achieving many other significant sevenand eight-figure results. “We are not daunted by the deep legal resources of our opponents, whether they are insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, or large corporations,” notes partner Michael London. “We fearlessly pursue the justice our injured clients deserve.”

OBSTACLES Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, personal injury firm
Block O’Toole & Murphy is on track for its most successful year. By Sean Stonefield
PHOTO BY STATIA GROSSMAN, TAKEN 2019 BEFORE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
B
LOCK O’TOOLE & MURPHY entered 2020 having achieved some of the highest recoveries in the firm’s history: In 2019, the firm garnered more than $250 million for its injured clients, including the number-one verdict in all of New York State ($110 million) and the second($11.5 million) and third- ($11 million) highest settlements in the state, as noted in the New York Law Journal’s “Top Verdicts & Settlements” list. In 2020, Block O’Toole & Murphy looked to continue this remarkable track record of courtroom success. But with the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering courts and offices, the firm was soon facing unprecedented cha llenges. And yet, despite this uncertainty, the firm has been able to overcome obstacles and still secure top results for its injured clients. “What differentiates our firm is how hard we will fight for our clients, and even with the pandemic we’re on pace to have our best year ever,” notes firm founder Jeffrey Block. “During the shutdown in the courts, our strategy
has been to illuminate for insurance companies and defendants the risks that are inherent in every case and to try and foster or create incentives for them to engage and negotiate.”
“By using technology to stay in contact with our clients, we continue to understand how their accidents have impacted every facet of their lives.” “In other words, we have not in any way compromised the value of our cases because of the court shutdown, t he pa ndem ic, or t he econom ic struggles that so many people are going through,” says partner Daniel O’Toole. “We demonstrate to our adversaries what a jury will likely decide if a case isn’t settled for fair value.” Indeed, during the period when the
firm was working remotely, it secured countless settlements of $1 million or more for its clients, including a $10.5 million settlement in a wrongfuldeath case where a 50-year-old union laborer died following a defective-saw accident; a $5 million settlement for a laborer who suffered electric shock while performing excavation work; a $4.5 million settlement for a carpenter who became permanently disabled after a work-related accident; and a $3.5 million settlement for a furniture maker who fell through a poorly maintained vault door. “By using technology to stay in contact with our clients, we continue to understand how their accidents have impacted every facet of their lives—medica lly, f ina ncia lly, a nd emotionally—both now and into the future,” says partner Stephen Murphy. “We conti nue to f ight for t hese hardworking people who were hurt and whose lives were dramatically changed through no fault of their own. There are new challenges in 2020 but we’re not running from a fight.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

A POTENTIALLY PRECEDENT-SHIFTING VERDICT Preeminent trial lawyer Benedict Morelli on achieving one of the highest pain-and-suffering awards in New York State history. By Sean Stonefield

IN
LATE JUNE 2013, Mark Perez was setting up the Best Buy booth for a concert at the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York. As Perez was putting together the twolevel booth—and standing at least 10 feet above the ground—a union stagehand hired by Live Nation drove a forklift into the structure, causing him to plummet to the ground and sustain massive brain injuries, skull fractures, spinal fractures, fractured ribs, and a punctured and collapsed lung. During his initial hospitalization, Perez was put into a medically induced coma; placed on life support; and intubated with feeding, chest, and tracheal tubes. After emerging from the coma, he underwent a comprehensive brain injury rehabilitation program but still required four brain surgeries between 2013 and 2015. Perez will likely need additional brain surgeries, suffers from posttraumatic epilepsy, and is now constantly at risk of having seizures.
“Mark is keenly aware of how his quality of life has deteriorated,” notes Benedict Morelli, Perez’s attorney in the lawsuit against Live Nation. “He will have to live with that intense physical and emotional suffering for the rest of his life.”
damages and nearly $13.5 million in future and past medical care and future lost wages. If upheld on appeal, this award will be the largest painand-suffering award ever in the state of New York by more than double the current highest sustained award.
“WE ARE ALWAYS PREPARED TO GO TO TRIAL TO ENSURE OUR CLIENTS ARE FULLY COMPENSATED.” Morelli, a renowned plaintiff ’s attorney, has an impressive track record of taking cases to trial and winning—and Perez’s lawsuit proved no different: In December 2019, Morelli and his team obtained a $102 million verdict for Perez. Subsequently, in an opinion analyzing the damages award, a Manhattan judge agreed to allow the plaintiff to recover more than $40 million in pain-and-suffering
“The court recognized the unique circumstances of Mark’s case and his profound awareness of his loss of enjoyment of life,” says Morelli. “We are always prepared to go to trial to ensure our clients are fully compensated, and we are proud that our skill in the courtroom allowed us to secure this historic award and vindication for Mark and his family.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

RESULTS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Thomas Moore and Judith Livingston continue to secure some of the largest verdicts in New York state for their injured clients. By Sean Stonefield

A
S THE SENIOR PARTNERS AT KRAMER, DILLOF, LIVINGSTON & MOORE, Thomas Moore and Judith Livingston have established one of the nation’s most successful law firms for victims of medical malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death. Moore and Livingston, who are married to one another, bring a dynamic partnership to their practice that has translated into an impressive track record. Between them they have secured more than 125 jury verdicts in excess of $1 million, with more than $1 billion in total recoveries for their clients over the firm’s history. “Through our practice, we’ve had the privilege of serving as a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves,” Moore says. “There is an incredible amount of work that goes into being a trial lawyer, but it’s worth it to see how these results change the course of our clients’ lives.” In 2018, for example, Moore won a $45.2 million verdict from a Manhattan
Supreme Court jury on behalf of a 53-year-old woman who suffered brain damage when struck by a shopping cart that was intentionally thrown off a fourth-floor walkway at the East River Plaza. Following a month-long trial, the jury needed only three and a half hours to decide in favor of Moore’s client, awarding her one of the largest personal-injury verdicts in New York state for 2018. “By thoroughly investigating the facts of the case, we were able to show the jury that the mall was also at fault for this catastrophic accident,” notes Moore,
“Between them they have secured more than 125 jury verdicts in excess of $1 million, with more than $1 billion in total recoveries for their clients.”
who a year prior, in 2017, secured a $39.5 million jury verdict for a former NYU student who fell from an unguarded fire escape. “We champion our clients’ causes, and that’s evident in the results we achieve for them.” Livingston, too, has obtained lifechanging results for her clients. In 2018, she won a $31 million wrongful-death verdict for the family of a 70-yearold woman who died as a result of an incorrect heart procedure. And later that year, she secured a $13-million verdict from a Manhattan Supreme Court jury on behalf of the family of a 43-year-old New Jersey woman who died as a result of a surgical error. “When people come to us, they have either suffered a life-altering injury or lost a loved one under tragic circumstances,” says Livingston. “Many are close to despair, and it is our firm’s mission to provide them with renewed hope and the resources they so desperately need.”

IN
just two decades, Abrams Fensterman has become a go-to full-service New York law firm, with offices spanning Long Island, Brooklyn, Westchester, and upstate New York. While the firm is celebrating its 20th anniversary during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges, it remains undaunted, and has continued to expand to better serve its diverse clientele. “We are proud to have been able to support our clients during these challenging times,” says managing partner Howard Fensterman. “Not only that, but we have continued to scale up, adding an office in White Plains and growing our deep bench of skilled attorneys.” With the addition of the White Plains office— led by former Appellate Division Justice Robert Spolzino—Abrams Fensterman now comprises 111 attorneys whose experience ranges from family, elder, employment, real estate, trusts and estates, transportation, municipal, appellate, and health law to white-collar criminal defense; estate, civil and commercial litigation; government relations; guardianship; and corporate. “Many of our lawyers are leaders in their fields; that expertise, combined with our client-centered practice, ensures that each client receives quality counsel, innovative solutions, and personalized service,” Fensterman notes. Notably, for 2021 six lawyers of the firm’s attorneys were named in The Best Lawyers in America©: RoseAnn Branda (Family Law), Samuel Ferrara (Family Law), Patrick Formato (Health Care Law), Ellyn Kravitz (Trusts and Estates, Elder Law), Sharon Stiller (Employment Law – Individuals) and Carolyn Reinach Wolf (Health Care Law). In addition, seven of the firm’s attorneys were named to the inaugural 2021 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list.

Finding oneself in the midst of a medical malpractice, sexual abuse, personal injury, or civil rights case can be overwhelming and disconcerting, to say the least. Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder welcomes its clients with arms wide open, offering them the closure they so desperately need in order to put a traumatic situation behind them. “We began as a family firm,” managing attorney Jim Horwitz says. “We work together that way, and we treat the people who come here, who seek our help, as family. That’s a very big part of who we are.” With this in mind, the Koskoff attorneys function collaboratively, especially when taking on cases that other firms may be hesitant about. These challenging cases are the ones on which Koskoff thrives – where the outcome is important for both the people involved and Connecticut overall. In addition to the work the firm does for its clients, they also make a point to educate and assist lawyers who are outside of the firm. The firm’s commitment to the legal community is evident in the number of attorneys who serve as leaders in prominent organizations. Koskoff partner Kathleen Nastri is a past-president of the American Association for Justice, the world’s largest trial bar, and managing attorney Jim Horwitz is the past-president of the Greater Bridgeport Bar Association and a past-president of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. Many of the attorneys at Koskoff have been recognized by Connecticut Magazine as Super Lawyers, and 12 attorneys from the firm have also been listed in The Best Lawyers in America© for 2021. The firm has proved itself as one of the leading trial firms in Connecticut and nationally, particularly for its work in medical malpractice, personal injury, and civil rights cases. Clients are often referred to the firm by other lawyers who trust that Koskoff will work diligently toward the best outcome for each individual case. Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder continually goes above and beyond for its clients and the Connecticut legal field overall, demonstrating time after time where its priorities lie.

ilberstein, Awad & Miklos is one of New York’s best known plaintiffs’ firms, having successfully prosecuted thousands of serious personal injury and medical malpractice cases. The firm has recovered more than $1 billion for its clients, including many recordsetting verdicts. The Firm has also argued before appellate courts more than 100 times. Senior partner Joseph Miklos said he has seen first-hand how the firm’s awards have benefited clients and their families. “It’s very rewarding to be contacted by many clients, years after their resolution, to learn that the compensation we secured for their injuries enabled them to live fuller lives than they thought possible.” Senior partner Joseph P. Awad, who was recently voted as Long Island’s top personal injury attorney, said the firm’s 18 lawyers have handled nearly every type of injury or malpractice claim.”Our lawyers have hundreds of years of combined experience in and out of the courtroom, which provides our present and future clients with great legal experience for prosecution on each new matter.” The 2021 edition of U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” recognized Silberstein Awad & Miklos with a Tier 1 ranking for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Long Island, which reflects the comprehensive expertise of its team. In addition to accomplished trial attorneys, the firm is staffed with an attorney-pharmacist, an in-house board certified internist and a board certified surgeon, and a registered nurse. Miklos said that this unique, collective background is what helps the firm stand out among others in New York. “We know who to talk to, where to find the answers, and what steps are necessary for success,” Miklos said. “We have access to some of the finest medical minds to evaluate personal injury and medical malpractice cases, and also collaborate with experts in economics, engineering, and vocational rehabilitation.”

INNAUGURAL AWARDS
These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded almost 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
