Most of what I do now is sue lawyers.
I
sue others, too. I sued a surgeon for
mangling a patient and then changing
his records to blame her. I sued a multi-national
tire company for allowing discrimination
against their minority employees. I've sued
architects and homebuilders for consumer
fraud and big insurance
companies for not paying their insureds.
I sued Fannie
Mae for offering a hardship refinance that
led to near homelessness for the family.

I once sued
the New Jersey State Division on Civil Rights
-- it had a 12 year backlog of cases and some
were being dismissed as "stale" --
for malpractice. I convinced the trial judge
that the State should be held to the same standard
of care as the rest of us -- but the appellate
court said no, the State could do what we could
not. The State
was immune. |
I like these unusual cases but . . . most of the cases that come to me now are about a lawyer or lawyers who did wrong.
Life is not a straight line and I didn’t grow up thinking that I would end up suing lawyers; but I like what I do, very much. Lawyers, just like everyone else (except the State of New Jersey), have to stand behind their work, be held accountable. When lawyers come up to me and ask how I could do the work I do, I say, well, we sue doctors and respected corporations, school systems, our bosses, priests, x-lovers, even the neighbors. Why should lawyers be immune? And when they say that most lawyers do a fine job I think, well, maybe, but, so what? I’m just suing the ones I am suing, the ones who didn’t do a fine job.
I don’t expect to win that argument.
My background is this: I taught law at the University of Arkansas School of Law for a year (yes, I met Bill and Hillary). I next worked in Washington for the Federal Trade Commission. I spent two years as a Deputy Attorney General fighting organized crime and political corruption. I then opened my own office in New Jersey and for 10 years had a general, trial-oriented practice. I defended a husband who had shot his wife, a gang-member who had (allegedly) beaten a man to death with a putter and several others who were charged with burning down their own houses for insurance money. I handled tough divorce cases, complex commercial closings and personal injury cases for plaintiffs. I had cases in state and federal court, in New York and New Jersey, against firms small and huge.
I got a very good look at how lawyers get things done, how things look when they are done right and what happens when things are done wrong. The human propensity to cover up, to deny, to blame others, lives in the lawyer’s heart no less than in the heart of other humans.
This
website shows my view. Take a look at the news
articles about my cases. If I think there’s
a case, it doesn’t matter who it’s against.
I will take on big law firms, famous lawyers, powerful
people. I’ve sued judges who committed malpractice
while they were lawyers and lawyers who once were
judges. I find the proof and do whatever can be done
to get the case in front of a jury. I’m not
intimidated by any of this and you should not be either.
I
am recognized by the New Jersey Supreme Court
as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, able to accept
referrals from other attorneys and pay them a referral
fee without them doing any work on the case. I get
most of my cases from lawyers who don’t want
to handle these types of cases. I’ve won million
dollar cases and settled even bigger ones (but those
I can’t discuss due to confidential settlement
agreements). I teach several courses for the Institute
of Continuing Legal Education, including trial skills
for new lawyers. I lecture to the Bar about what I
do and how they might avoid becoming a defendant.
I have been a frequent commentator on Court TV.
