Associate Attorney
"Obtaining justice from defendants in a personal injury case parallels to an extent what transpires in a criminal case. In both you have an accused wrongdoer, a victim, a harm — and an opportunity to make things right."Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice -

Ellen Relkin
PARTNER and PRACTICE GROUP CHAIR
"Practicing for three dozen years representing people injured by dangerous products — including medications, medical devices, and toxic chemicals — I have observed a terrible unifying theme. Manufacturing corporations fail to do the right thing: whether it be inadequately testing the product before releasing it on the market (and in our clients’ bodies); failing to adequately warn consumers and workers of the risks; and, most egregiously, deferring corrective action because that would impact their bottom line. All these failures sadly boil down to the defendants’ concern for profits over safety. I have had the pleasure of representing thousands of wonderful clients and it is heartbreaking to see how many lives have been devastated by the defendants’ conduct. Every day, I am grateful that I can help clients obtain compensation for the wrongs they have suffered."Focus: Defective Drugs and Devices
