MICHAEL J. FITZPATRICK

Michael attended St. John's University on an academic scholarship and fulfilled requirements for a double major, graduating with honors with a B.S. in Biology and B.A. in Philosophy. After a year of post-graduate study of biology, physiology and anatomy at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, he changed direction and became a uniformed New York State Court Officer, serving in Manhattan Family Court for six years.

During that time he undertook the study of law at night at New York Law School in an expedited program. In 1998 he graduated with honors and began practice in one of the New York City Law Department's busiest offices, the Brooklyn Tort Division. There, he was responsible for personal injury trials in both the Civil and Supreme Courts. In 2002 he entered the private sector concentrating on personal injury litigation. Since then, Michael has gained extensive experience in arbitration and mediation, earning millions of dollars for his clients. Michael joined Wingate Russotti and Shapiro in 2010 where he currently handles all aspects of premises liability, automobile and construction accident litigation from inception of the case to trial.

5 Ken was my relentless advocate every step of the way

I was facing a life with a marked physical disability and unable to work, but things changed for the better the moment I called Ken Halperin. Ken was my relentless advocate every step of the way with his cool and calm personality. I can't thank Ken and everyone from Wingate Russotti and Shapiro enough because without all their hard work this settlement would have never gotten done.
