Social Security Disability Lawyer Seminar 8/11/05

The Suffolk County Bar Association has invited me to present a Continuing Legal Education Seminar on Thursday, August 11, 2005, entitled “Malpractice Avoidance for Workers Compensation & Social Security Disability Attorneys“. I will be presenting with my colleagues Vic Fusco and Dennis Chase. Lawyers who attend will earn two CLE ethics credits.
In the past year, I have testified as an expert witness in two legal malpractice cases involving workers’ compensation claims. In both, the legal malpractice was clear – it was just about estimating damages. One case settled in the 7 figure range and one in the 6 figure range. Unfortunately, legal malpractice is a growing problem in the United States. Just type in a “google” search for “legal malpractice lawyer” and see how many sharks swarm. Prevention is key. Bottom Line – this would be a good one for any negligence, workers compensation or social security disability lawyer to attend. If interested, contact the Suffolk Academy of Law at 631-234-5588 to register. Hope to see you there.
