SCOTT STERN
"My collaboration with the trial attorneys throughout the course of litigation allows the attorneys to come together and immediately identify the legal issues that effect the case as well as those that may arise on the horizon. With this coordination, the firm is able to develop and present a focused and effective case to the court."
Scott joined Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro in January, 2004 after spending seven successful years as a solo practitioner during which time he maintained an "of counsel" association with the Firm. Over the years, Scott has developed his writing abilities and is now the attorney in charge of the firm's appeals. Scott also briefs and argues complex motions that arise during the course of litigation involving a broad range of matters, including labor law, products liability, premises liability, automobile liability, insurance coverage, and municipal liability.
