"I take great pride to ensure that each case is expertly managed and effectively litigated in order to maximize each client's recovery. We represent severely injured people who depend on us to obtain for them the best possible settlement or verdict. In many instances, our clients have no one to turn to other than us. Many of our clients have disabling injuries, large medical bills and have been unable to work since their accident. I feel privileged that our clients have chosen our firm to assist them during their difficult times."

As managing partner of the law firm, it is Cliff's responsibility to review and evaluate every negligence case. He supervises every attorney and staff member in our office and meets all new clients as well as referring attorneys. In addition, he assists the attorneys in the coordination of litigation and the preparation of cases for trial.

Cliff's specialty is negotiation and he is actively involved in the settlement of most cases in our office. Cliff has extensive experience in virtually every type of personal injury case and has settled thousands of cases ranging from several thousand dollars to over one million dollars. Because our firm's reputation is to prepare every case aggressively and expertly, he is able to obtain substantial settlements prior to trial. Negotiating the best possible settlement, as soon as practicable during the litigation process, best serves our clients.

Cliff graduated with honors from the University of Buffalo in 1982 and received a J.D Degree from The John Marshall Law School in 1985. He has practiced plaintiff's personal injury law exclusively since his admission to the New York State Bar. He joined the firm in 1986 and became the managing partner in 1993.

Cliff is a sustaining member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and The Association of Trial Lawyers of America. He is also a member of the New York State Bar Association, The American Bar Association and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Cliff lives in Westchester with his wife Judy, and their children, Sam, Corinna and Roman.
