KENNETH J. HALPERIN

"The effectiveness of my partnership with my client allows me to prepare each case in accordance with its own unique set of facts and circumstances. It is only through this partnership that the injured people whom I represent are able to be compensated fairly and adequately for the pain and suffering that they have endured."

Ken graduated cum laude from the University of Albany in 1989. A 1992 graduate of Brooklyn Law School, Ken is a trial attorney with the firm. He handles a wide variety of cases in the areas of general negligence, automobile liability and construction law.

As a trial attorney, Mr. Halperin is responsible not only for the litigation aspects of the case, but also the day to day management of the cases that he is involved with. His primary goal, and that of the firm, is to work closely with all of our clients on their cases from inception through settlement or trial.

Ken's professional memberships include the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, New York State Trial Lawyers Association, an officer of the Jewish Lawyers Guild, Kings County Judicial Screening Committee (2010), and Association of the Bar of the City of New York where he is a member of the Committee on Judicial Administration, and the Tort Litigation Committee. Ken also does significant pro bono work representing low-income tenants.
