ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"No person should have to suffer from an asbestos-related disease, and no family should experience that heartache. Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases cause suffering that would never have happened if companies who profited from asbestos-containing products had acted responsibly. As an attorney, I can’t undo the pain these companies have caused, but I can work through our legal system to secure the justice and compensation our clients and their families deserve."Focus: Mesothelioma and Asbestos -

Of Counsel
"I have the most satisfying job of anyone I know because the people I get to represent are truly the salt of the earth. Most of them were simply going about living their lives and providing for their families when – through no fault of their own – they were exposed to asbestos. Worse, for the sake of profits, the companies responsible for that exposure failed to give warning or do anything to protect anyone. My job as an attorney is to make these companies pay for their wrongs and provide justice for my clients and their families. It’s never easy, but always satisfying."Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice -
Kyle A. Schiedo
Associate Attorney
"In all legal cases, particularly in cases of sexual abuse, I need to be thoughtful in how I approach my client. I never want to retraumatize someone. I have to walk a razor’s edge in terms of getting the information I need to help build my client’s case while also respecting my clients."Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice, Trafficking & Abuse -
Alexander C. Schwarz
ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"Growing up, I admired my father and grandfather for the work they did. Both were attorneys who spent their entire careers — more than 100 years combined — advocating for the little guy and helping working people. They worked with unions concerned about dangerous and toxic work environments, and also repetitive injuries. I knew this work was important and rewarding. I am honored to be continuing this family tradition."Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice -
Jared Scotto
Associate Attorney
"The most important thing is giving everything I have into helping clients get the justice they deserve. I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable — no matter how large or small the institution. They should not be allowed to get away with permitting such heinous crimes to be committed on their watch."Focus: Personal Injury and Malpractice, Trafficking & Abuse
