Marc Reibman
Marc Reibman is a graduate of the Boston University School of Law. He began practicing law in 1981 with the well known New York firm of Costello & Shea. At Costello & Shea, Marc handled medical malpractice, product liability and admiralty cases. In 1986, Marc left Costello & Shea to start his own firm representing personal injury victims at this current office location. Marc represents the victims of many different kinds of negligence including catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, slip, trip, and fall cases, medical malpractice, and defective products. Marc takes pride in obtaining maximum settlements or jury verdicts for his clients. He has tried numerous cases where the jury reached a verdict in excess of a million dollars. Marc has the largest verdict in New York State for a short duration of pain and suffering. ($10,500,000.00 for two and a half minutes of suffering in an elevator death case). In many other cases the defendants have settled with Marc for millions of dollars without going to trial. Marc handles all phases of cases personally from the initial client interview to depositions, to court appearances and trials. Marc is most proud of obtaining jury verdicts or settlements for clients who were turned away by other firms because their case seemed to be too complicated or not sufficiently significant. Marc has a particular expertise in cases that require scientific or engineering analysis to understand the mechanism of injury. As a result of his hard work and the successful representation of his clients, a very large percentage of the firm's clients are referred to the firm by former clients who were satisfied with the personal attention and care they received during the pendency of their lawsuits.
Steven Weiner
Steven Weiner began practicing law in 1990 at the large "Wall Street" firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. Before Steven became a lawyer, he graduated from medical school and was a licensed practicing physician. Steven worked at Stroock for three years during which time he participated in complex product liability litigation and other areas of general practice litigation. Steven left Stroock to pursue his interest in helping individual people instead of representing large corporations. Steven joined Marc's practice in 1993. Marc and Steven have established a successful partnership that builds on each other's strengths. Because of his medical background, Steven is able to quickly read and analyze voluminous medical records -- often finding significant evidence of malpractice or injury that would be difficult for an attorney without a medical background to find. Steven represents clients at all stages of litigation -- from initial case evaluation and intake, to jury trial or settlement. Steven is particularly proud of his work in the area of civil rights and police brutality litigation. Steven has represented many people who have been unlawfully incarcerated, physically abused, or harassed by the police or other law enforcement authorities. Satisfied clients continue to refer others who have been injured through no fault of their own. |
