Directors William D. Yoquinto and Jessica A. Desany recently participated in a panel presentation for a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) webcast/webconference sponsored by the New York State Bar Association. An audience of attorneys from across, and outside of, New York State, logged on for the October 1, 2010 live seminar entitled “Settling a Personal Injury Case – Strategies for Obtaining the Best Settlement for Your Client.” Mr. Yoquinto and Ms. Desany presented insight into the pros and cons of the alternative dispute resolution process as well as potential pitfalls of the settlement process, changes to statutory law related to settlement of litigation, as well as the common law interpretation of the pertinent laws by the Courts.
Mr. Yoquinto focuses his practice on all phases of defense, including trials and appeals, in matters relating to product liability, medical malpractice, pharmacy, professional licensing, and other liability claims.
Ms. Desany practices in the area of civil litigation, including actions defending claims of personal injury, premises liability, and professional liability, as well as in the areas of insurance coverage analysis and disputes, and commercial real estate.
