Joseph Finnerty is an associate with the firm whose practice focuses on catastrophic personal injury, toxic tort, wrongful death, and civil rights. Mr. Finnerty has successfully represented clients against individuals, government entities and multi-billion-dollar companies. His practice is motivated by his desire to serve the community and protect consumers against injustice. Mr. Finnerty was part of the team that obtained a $5.75 million settlement in a traumatic brain injury case in 2021.
Farid Golshani is an associate with the firm, and his practice focuses on assisting property owners with recovering what is rightfully owed to them under their insurance policies.
