News and Update: Merger with Pasternack, Tilker, Walsh, Stanton & Romano, LLP
In 1982 I began my legal career with Victor Pasternack and his cousin, Frank, in the World Trade Center.
They introduced me to the practice of Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability. The Pasternack cousins, along with Abe Popish, who was the unquestioned leader in the field of NYS Workers' Compensation law for over 30 years, were not only my mentors but treated me like Family.
When I began my own practice in Long Island, in 1985, they were very supportive to me and we remained close throughout the years. As my practice blossomed, they became one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in New York State, dedicated to representing injured workers throughout the State.
I have recently merged my practice with Pasternack, Tilker, Walsh, Stanton & Romano, LLP to help provide my clients with the experience and resources that only Pasternack, Tilker can offer. I will continue to actively work on your case and am happy to answer any questions you may have about our merger, whether in person or over the phone.
