ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"The e-discovery legal field is a niche area. It’s looking for the needle in the haystack. My role is to research all of the documents in a case, searching for that one piece to clinch the case in our client’s favor. These documents are the backbone of facts in the case."Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -

Aaron Freedman
ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"Corporations don’t care about you. Sure, they may emphasize how important you are as part of a sales pitch or national marketing campaign. Or claim that their product was created specifically to make your life easier. Or even claim to be a part of your family, and vice versa. Simply put, they need you to buy so they’re willing to lie. And when that product hurts you or your family, you’re faced with painful moments and impossible choices. All too often, these corporations try to cover up their responsibility by intimidating, abusing, and silencing you, because they can. They’re bullies. I’m here to give you a voice and right the wrongs that you’ve endured."Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -

"To be working at Weitz & Luxenberg with such a talented, tenacious team of attorneys is a privilege. Before joining, I owned my own law firm.

Robin L. Greenwald
PARTNER and PRACTICE GROUP CO-CHAIR
"Much of my law career has been devoted to investigations of corporate wrongdoing, leading either to criminal prosecutions or the litigation of consumer class actions and/or environmental enforcement cases. My underlying goal in environmental litigations is protecting the environment and obtaining relief for the people who become sick or whose property is damaged because of industry pollution that could and should have been avoided. And when consumers are harmed by dangerous products, have their privacy breached by inadequate corporate security, or suffer harm from other corporate misdeeds, I strive to seek just compensation for the victims of these wrongful acts. I am very proud of what I have been able to accomplish on behalf of victims of corporate greed."Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -
Josh Kristal
Associate Attorney
"The cause of mesothelioma is no mystery. It is the result of negligence—and sometimes even malice— on the part of a corporation that cared only about enriching itself at the expense of its employees and customers. I help the victims of mesothelioma track down the corporations responsible for inflicting this terrible cancer upon them. And, once those culpable businesses are found, I then help see that they are brought to justice. With great pride I do this as an associate attorney with the law firm ranked #1 in the country by U.S. News & World Report for personal injury and mass tort claims."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection, Trafficking & Abuse -

Arthur Luxenberg
Co-Founding Member
"When Perry Weitz and I founded this firm in 1986, we took the position that every client’s case would be treated as if it were the most important because we believe every client deserves his or her lawyer’s diligent attention, compassion, and excellence. We had but one goal: providing exemplary, custom-tailored legal service. Nothing has changed since the beginning, except that we’re now the largest mass-tort and personal injury litigation law firm in New York City and a powerhouse of legal innovation on the national scene as a result of holding fast to our founding principles. We find ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity of practicing law at its highest level for America’s most vulnerable citizens as well as furthering ambitious philanthropic and social initiatives."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos, Defective Drugs and Devices, Personal Injury and Malpractice, Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -

Paul F. Novak
Managing Attorney
"I have been fortunate enough to spend my entire legal career dedicated to the protection of the public. Whether it was through consumer advocacy on behalf of utility company ratepayers, targeting illegal price gouging in the pharmaceuticals industry, attacking corporate mismanagement and fraud on behalf of shareholders or litigating against corporate polluters who foul our land and poison our water, the underlying theme has always been the same: companies that take advantage of the public and behave irresponsibly should be taken to task and held responsible."Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -

They never back down from a fight and advocate tirelessly to give our clients a voice. They are willing and fully prepared to go up against massive corporations and industries that have put profit first, not taking into consideration the cost to the environment and the people they harm. We will hold these companies accountable and get justice for our clients."Focus: Environmental Pollution, Consumer Protection -
