Concentrating his entire career in the area of personal injury law, Rich understands that his clients have a choice when they hire an attorney on Long Island, and it’s his goal to make everyone who walks into his office a “client for life.” Rich’s successful practice stems from his motivation to advocate for individuals who have been wrongfully injured, developing valuable relationships with his clients along the way. He believes the most important step in a case is the “initial consultation.” Each first meeting is handled personally and Rich makes sure that his clients understand their rights, the legal process, and most importantly, how the client’s losses are measured. Rich’s goal is to give clients 100% of the financial resources to get them back on their feet after an injury. When he receives a call that a life-altering accident has occurred, his team aggressively investigates the case and pursues all available benefits for his clients. In addition to maximizing the damages that an insurance company or corporation pay to his client, Rich and his team also pursue temporary benefits such as no-fault wage loss, medical payments, workers compensation, and disability benefits that help financially support an individual during recovery.
