Profile

Most of what I do now is sue lawyers for malpractice.  I've sued others. I sued a surgeon for mangling his patient and then changing his records to blame her. I sued a multi-national tire company for allowing discrimination against its minority employees.  I sued Fannie Mae for offering a hardship refinance that led to near homelessness for the family. I like these unusual cases but...most of the cases that come to me now are about a lawyer who did wrong. Lawyers Must Be Held Accountable. I like what I do. Lawyers, just like everyone else, have to stand behind their work and be held accountable. When attorneys come up to me and ask how I could do the work I do, I say, well, we sue doctors and respected corporations, school systems, our bosses, priests, ex-lovers, even the neighbors. Why should attorneys be immune? And when they say that most attorneys do a fine job I think, well, maybe, but, so what? I'm just suing the ones who didn't do a fine job. I don't expect to win that argument. I have taken on hundreds of lawyers in the past 15 years, and I spare no expense in assembling a winning case. And I always give lots of personal attention to my clients; when they hire me, they get me on their case. I've won million dollar cases and settled even bigger ones. I teach trial skills for new lawyers. I lecture to the N.J. State Bar and the ABA about what I do and how they might avoid becoming a defendant. I have also been a frequent commentator on Court TV.
