    Significant Representative Matters: Successfully defended, submitted post-hearing arguments
    secured dismissal of a New York no-fault arbitration matter. The applicant, a major medical provider, filed an arbitration matter in the total amount of $361,601.62, claiming our client owed it for the claimant's unpaid medical bills following a major motor vehicle accident. The claimant had been involved in the motor vehicle accident
    sought payment for medical treatment for a series of treatments rendered while hospitalized, post-accident. Counsel for the medical provider argued that the medical billing was never properly nor timely denied, therefore payment of the claims was overdue. However, We successfully argued at the arbitration hearing, that herein, Applicant's client failed to provide the requisite statutorily required medical assignment of benefits form, assigned the hospital the right to sue on behalf of the injured party. After arguments were heard by the Arbitrator, the Arbitrator ordered post-hearing submissions to be submitted by both sides, to be submitted within the week. We researched, drafted
    submitted said post-hearing submission, resulting in the Arbitrator ruling in our client's favor,
    thereby dismissing the matter based on the Applicant's total failure to submit the requisite form, saving the client hundreds of thous
    s of dollars.

    motion practice,
    without significant opposition by plaintiff's counsel, the matter was dismissed, in full, by the court, which found that both res judicata

    dismissed the suit
    its accompanying complaint.
    Successfully appealed, argued
    obtained a full dismissal of joint arbitration matters filed against our client, when rem
    ed to the lower arbitration forum. The applicant filed two, separate, yet related, arbitration matters claiming our client, an insurance carrier, owed them for unpaid medical bills of the claimant. The claimant was supposedly involved in a motor vehicle accident on July 25, 2018,
    sought payment for medical treatment provided from December 20, 2018, through April 5, 2019. Applicant's position was that payment was owed as the independent medical examination that found a lack of medical necessity was improper
    weak,
    because the policy of insurance was not yet exhausted. At the lower forum, the applicant was successful due to the arbitrator's misapplication
    misinterpretation of the NYS No-Fault Regulations. However, on Master Appeal the Master Arbitrator found in our clients favor after the submission of briefs
    rem
    ed the hearing to the lower forum for an evidentiary hearing before a different arbitrator. That arbitrator found in full favor of our client
    denied the applicant's claims on both matters.
    Successfully defended an arbitration matter filed against our client, an insurance carrier. The applicant filed an arbitration matter claiming our client owed him for the unpaid medical bills of the claimant, in the total amount of $20,772.99. The claimant was purportedly involved in a motor vehicle accident on August 12, 2016,
    sought payment for medical treatments/surgery provided to the claimant on January 11, 2018. It was argued that our client owed the applicant's client for the medical services, despite New York state being the improper venue for hearing such a claim. The policy of insurance was written in Pennsylvania, the accident occurred in Pennsylvania,
    the claimant lived in Pennsylvania. The provider of the medical services, the applicant, as well as the medical facility where the services were rendered were located in New Jersey. There was no apparent connection to the State of New York, other than the fact that the surgeon performing the surgery maintains an office there. The arbitrator agreed that this single contact with the was insufficient to confer jurisdiction on the New York State No-Fault system to adjudicate these no-fault claims in the State of New York. As such, the arbitrator found in full favor of our client
    denied the applicant's claims, in its entirety.
    Successfully argued
    obtained a full dismissal in an Arbitration matter filed against our client, an insurance carrier. A surgical center in New Jersey filed an arbitration matter in the amount of $217,370.39.15, claiming our client owed it for unpaid medical bills of the claimant. The claimant was involved in a motor vehicle accident on July 15, 2017
    sought payment for medical treatment. The surgical center's position was that the entire amount was owed as it was not properly paid upon the initial submission of the billing to our client. However, after arguments were presented at the time of the arbitration hearing, our client's policy of insurance was found to be completely
    properly exhausted. Therefore, the Arbitrator found in full favor of our client,
    denied the Applicant's entire $217,370.39.15 claim.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
