gair2014.jpgGair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf, a top New York Personal Injury law firm is proud to announce that it has been selected by the National Law Journal and Law.com this year to be part of the Top 50 list of America’s Elite Trial Lawyers.

The 50 personal injury firms selected for this list have been doing the most creative and substantial work on the plaintiff side.

To qualify for inclusion, firms had to have scored at least one significant plaintiffs win between Jan. 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014, and possess an impressive track record of wins within the past three to five years. A “significant win” meant prevailing in a bench or jury trial or in a major settlement where the stakes were high-for example, a substantial amount of money was at stake or the outcome could have affected litigation strategy or results in similar cases nationally. Also, firms had to devote at least 50 percent of their litigation resources to plaintiffs work and derive half or more of their revenue from plaintiffs-side activities. Firms with higher percentages of plaintiffs-side work were considered.
