NY Personal Injury Lawyers

WHO RETAINS WINGATE, RUSSOTTI & SHAPIRO?

Our experience has taught us that the best source of a future client is a former client who knows that they received the best achievable result in their case. To accomplish that, the firm has made a purposeful decision to limit the number of cases each attorney prepares so that proper attention can be paid to each client and their case. We understand the importance of paying attention to details. Very often a detail in a given case makes the difference between winning and losing.

The firm welcomes and accepts referrals from attorneys throughout the country regarding cases in the metropolitan area. Attorneys refer us cases specifically because we are not a large volume firm, where a case may not get the attention it deserves. Our referring attorneys know from experience that we are best equipped to prepare, analyze, and try the most complex cases not only in New York City, but in every county in the metropolitan area from Rochester to Suffolk. Referring attorneys rely on our New York personal injury law firm because they know that our lawyers are outstanding, experienced litigators in the areas in which they practice.

Jason Rubin is responsible for overseeing the medical malpractice cases. Jason has extensive medical malpractice experience and has been litigating malpractice cases since he became an attorney. Colleen Kirchoff is an experienced nurse attorney, specializing in medical malpractice litigation; she aggressively investigates areas of negligent care or malpractice and the associated injuries for our clients. Their combined experience means that our malpractice cases are expertly and efficiently analyzed and prepared. Ken Halperin, who heads our construction litigation department, has been handling complex construction accident cases for many years and has a vast degree of knowledge about New York State Labor Law and the Industrial Code. Bill Hepner, a former Law Review editor, is a gifted legal writer with experience in all types of personal injury cases. Rob Bellinson was a Democratic candidate in two campaigns for the New York State Senate. After he entered private practice, he has tried to verdict scores of premises liability, automobile accidents and general negligence cases. Paula Greco, who concentrates on automobile litigation, is fully versed in the arcane provisions of uninsured and supplementary motorist coverage, which is often an area of potential additional insurance coverage overlooked by other firms.
