Medical Malpractice Starts with Patient Safety VerdictSearch.com CONTINUALLY ACHIEVING TOP VERDICTS IN NEW YORK STATE This year we are proud to once again have judgments that are ranked among the top verdicts for 2012 in NY State. Among our verdicts was a $6,000,000 judgment that we obtained in Nassau County for wrongful death. This outcome was in addition to the more than $80,000,000 in settlements secured in 2012 for our clients. At Duffy & Duffy we believe that curing medical malpractice starts with patient safety. We are highly selective in the cases we accept and dedicate all of our efforts to those cases. It’s the reason our verdicts are among the highest in the state.

    BRAVE JUSTICE ANNUAL REPORT 2020 MELINDA KATZ DISTRICT ATTORNEY Queens District Attorney 125-01 Queens Boulevard Kew Gardens, NY 11415 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ A MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ 2020 was a year like no other. From the start, I knew it would take a steady hand to achieve brave justice and create a more equitable criminal justice system while keeping Queens’ communities safe. On day one, my team and I effectuated new policies, practices and structures designed to create the safest and fairest borough in the city. We immediately began navigating through the challenging implementation of New York State’s long awaited historic bail and discovery reform. I could not have anticipated the challenges to come: those already tumultuous waters deepened in just three months’ time, as a world-wide pandemic hit the city. And not long after, our city transformed yet again in the wake of historic protests and calls for meaningful police reform. This past year, we bravely rose above the turbulent waters. We began building bridges – bridges that will keep our communities safe while embracing new, progressive approaches toward prosecution and the criminal justice system. Inside this book, we will explore the remarkable bridge building we have started, in what has proven to be an unparalleled year: A bridge to Trust – where an emphasis is placed on new progressive leadership, staff training, and a demand for excellence and professionalism throughout a newly structured organization that is designed to further our mission to achieve brave justice. A bridge to Fairness – by instituting new policies that work to address racial and economic disparities, such as reducing prosecution of low-level offenses, utilizing alternatives to cash bail, reducing incarceration, making fair and just plea agreements, and providing more opportunities for rehabilitation and redemption from past violations.

  • Michael Cohen's Prison of Choice: Well-Known to Jewish Offenders
    Michael Cohen’s Prison of Choice: Well-Known to Jewish Offenders... h<ps://[email protected]/2019/01/22/nyregion/michael-cohen-o... Michael Cohen’s Prison of Choice: Well-Known to Jewish Offenders By Corey Kilgannon Jan. 22, 2019 [What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] When Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, was sentenced last month to three years in federal prison on fraud charges, he had the right to request any number of prison camps favored by white-collar offenders for their relatively resort-like settings. But Mr. Cohen chose a shabby, low-slung building 75 miles northwest of New York City, with an antiquated weight room, an uneven tennis court and no swimming pool. What the minimum-security camp at the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, N.Y., does offer is a rarity in the federal prison system: a full-time Hasidic chaplain who oversees a congregation of dozens of Jewish inmates who gather for prayer services three times a day. “For a Jewish person, there is no place like Otisville,” said Earl Seth David, 54, a former inmate who attended kosher meals, religious classes and weekly Shabbat services in the prison shul, a shared space where the Torah scrolls are locked up every night. “As a Jew, there’s no other prison you can get services like that.” Otisville’s camp has long been the lockup of choice among Jewish white-collar offenders, including Sheldon Silver, the former speaker of the New York State Assembly who was convicted on federal corruption charges.

    TV Shows Tried. by SciFiOne (scifione.net) Show Name Watch Ln Yr Tried Review / Comments Final results Call Me Kat No 0.5 2021 I was almost instantly bored and did not get far. Abandoned Call Your Mother unlikely 0.5 2021 A no laughs pilot for a sitcom about an empty nest mom who can't let go flying to LA to be with her semi-functional kids. I'll try one more. L.A.'s Finest No 1.0 2021 A much too gritty and graphic cop / crime drama.. Abandoned Mr Mayor No 0.5 2021 This sitcom pilot was too stupid and acrimonious. I did not get far. Abandoned New Tricks OK 1.0 2021 A slightly humorous 2004 UK police procedural. A team of retired old school Disposable male cops lead by a not so young female detective investigates old crimes. The personal life bits are weak but the detective interactions are good. Queen's Gambit OK 1.0 2021 A 7 part miniseries on Netflix about a young damaged and addicted character Disposable who just happens to be a chess prodigy too. It's about 33% too long. Resident Alien No 1.0 2021 Two votes. One= nothing was happening. Two= it was dumb. We gave up less Abandoned than half way. Later I finished it & it was OK at 120% speed= not worth it. Shetland No 1.0 202 Slow, dour, dark. and nasty police murder investigation series in the Shetlands. Abandoned Well done, but way to unlikable to watch. Vera No 1.5 2021 A well done police murder detective show but too long, slow, and depressing Abandoned (even the irascible protagonist).
