While in New York, Steve began his own practice representing victims of negligence against big insurance companies, hospitals and the city of New York. After much success, Steve was recruited by one of New York’s most prestigious law firms as the Lead Senior Trial Attorney where he continued his pursuit of justice on behalf of those injured.
