Gerry has been in practice since 1988. He is a graduate of Touro College, Jacob Fuchsberg College of Law in Huntington, NY and he is admitted to practice law in New York and Connecticut. He started his legal career working for a defense firm on Wall Street representing doctors, hospitals and businesses who were sued.

After doing defense work, he joined a personal injury law firm in Brooklyn, NY representing injured victims, and then four years later, joined forces with a large law firm in Queens, NY. While there, he was in charge of the medical malpractice department. Six years later, Gerry decided he could best serve his clients by opening his own office for the practice of law in cases dealing with injured victims of medical negligence, medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury and accident cases.

Gerry,
I think you are on the forefront when it comes to the value of using video to educate clients. And it is because we believe this will be a necessary tool for lawyers now and into the future as they develop their practices (including our faculty!) I am thrilled you are going to teach us how to do it correctly so it enhances our image versus diminishing it.
It also drives home an important point: If you take the well known statement “people work with those they know like and trust”..by creating video to bring face,voice and presentation to your message and adding it to the educational aspects of an internet presence, you are helping to distinguish yourself more. If you have a VLO and use video this makes the VLO concept for clients even easier to accept, too.
Welcome to the 21st century!
