Consumers Rescued by Common Sense

By: Marthay Hackett

Opening up his second law firm became the decision for this lawyer who was already at an age when men like him would be in their third decade of retirement. With characteristic nerve and verve, the 87 year old, one of the nation's best known personal injury lawyers marched into his longtime office several months ago, accompanied by a half dozen guards. His men stood guard as he emptied out his desk and pulled his name from the door in a decision that was caused by a feud that he had with his partners.

He only goes to the courtroom once in a while and so the daily cases in his firm are being handled by his new partner and prot?g? who is a no nonsense lady lawyer and former assistant Queens district attorney. With his passion for perfection, a gift for showbiz glitz, enormous ambition, and endless energy, this lawyer has been able to accumulate millions in earnings and countless victories not to mention enormous settlements in what would have seemed to be unwinnable cases.

The courts knew him as The Equalizer who got $740,000 for the family of a heart attack victim after being able to justify how a man was frightened to death after a car rolled up on his lawn. When a guest was attacked by a shark he made an Acapulco hotel the responsible party. There was no warning given to any guest regarding how sharks might be attracted by the garbage that the hotel was dumping into the ocean.

What he is boastful about is the fact that he helped 120 full time personal injury lawyers to be employed in New York City and contributed to the city shelling out $175 million in settlements. The contingency fee applies to this lawyer where he takes a third of the final award just like the other lawyers engaged in tort or personal injury law. When it comes to the aggressive personal injury lawyers being blamed for higher insurance costs not to mention a waste of the public's money for suits against the city governments, he disagrees with those who agree to this.

When there is a poor devil somewhere who ends up paralyzed and confined to a hospital bed then this could really affect people through their emotions and this is the game he knows how to play well. A jury is no problem for this man for he possesses the finesse of a symphony conductor. It is possible for a decision to go against you if a jury is bored.

But his victories are supported by long hours of meticulous research. In every case he handles he is obsessed to always be prepared so as not to be proven wrong. In a career that has lifted ambulance chasing to a new level, this lawyer has seen himself adoringly profiled in Time Magazine and Wall Street Journal.

Modesty has no place in his vocabulary when he speaks of himself or his practice. When it comes to their practice, vanity gives them leverage. Vanity, respect, and confidence all go together. When it comes to his personal and professional life, the details are overseen by the 33 year old woman adopted by him and his wife. His former partners said that without this owner of a Mexican restaurant and ever present assistant they might still be together in one firm. He gained a new view when it came to certain things.

1929 was when he graduated from Brooklyn Law School after his Ukrainian family immigrated to New York when he was 6 and during this time all of the good legal work went to the politically connected Irish firms. Here minor criminal cases and personal injury cases were left to the aspiring Jewish attorneys like him.
