If you want a law firm that's like Walmart, you can find them in most any City. If, instead, you want personal attention from the senior trial lawyer, then I suggest you speak to a solo practitioner with experience handling your type of case.I received a call at 7 AM this morning asking whether I was Walmart. I politely told the caller, after rubbing the sleep out of my eyes that she was calling an attorney's office and not Walmart.

I don't advertise on TV, and I don't have thousands of customers pouring in and out of my parking lot on a daily basis. Read the article to learn more...

An Open Letter to President Obama about Medical Malpractice in New YorkAn Open Letter to President Obama From Gerry Oginski, Esq. A New York Medical Malpractice Trial Lawyer June 15, 2009 Dear Mr. President, The New York Times reported today (Obama Open to Reining in Medical Suits, June 15, 2009) that you were considering reining in medical malpractice lawsuits. Although you have expressed your opinion that you would not consider placing a cap on jury awards, I’d like you to read this letter before you give further thought to this potentially disastrous policy change. A few years ago I had the privilege of representing a young man, aged 34, who worked as a mortgage broker. One day here in New York he suffered chest pain and went to a local hospital for evaluation. The physicians admitted him to the hospital for a few days to do a cardiac workup. Blood was drawn, a stress test was performed, and a physical examination was done. The patient was given a clean bill of health and told to follow up with a cardiologist after being discharged. Over the next three months this young and energetic young man continued to experience significant chest pain. On each visit to the cardiologist, the doctor performed a physical examination and shrugged off the patient’s complaints of pain as being “stress related.” Shortly after the third visit to the cardiologist, this young man experienced severe crushing pain which radiated down his arm.
