When Experience Matters

Seth opened his solo practice in 2005, representing clients with personal injury matters and defending business owners involved in legal disputes. Because he has worked on all sides of business, personal injury, and insurance matters, Seth knows how insurance companies and defense counsel will approach a case. This experience gives him an advantageous, no-nonsense approach to each claim.

For victims of personal injury cases, Seth’s objective is to bring closure and some measure of financial security. Similarly, Seth strives to protect entrepreneurs’ businesses from unnecessary risk, and to enforce agreements so that parties are held to what they promised to do. In addition,

Seth has successfully resolved cases against insurance companies for failing to honor their obligations under an insurance policy or when an insurance company places their interests above those of their policyholders.

Seth takes pride in learning about his clients, their lives and their businesses, both to better serve them legally, and to help put them at ease in the often difficult experience of pursuing a lawsuit.

He also gives back to the community and is recognized for his pro-bono work helping victims devastated by Superstorm Sandy. As a guest speaker, Seth lectures on topics to help individuals and businesses avoid costly litigation and mitigate risk.
