Senior Partner Philip J. Catapano selected as “Super Lawyer” for the third consecutive year
We are pleased to announce that Philip Catapano, our Senior Partner, has been selected as a New York State “Super Lawyer” for the year 2009. This marks the third consecutive year that he has been so honored.
Each year a statewide survey of lawyers is conducted by Global Strategy Group, an independent research company. Lawyers statewide are asked to nominate the best attorneys that they have personally observed in action. Each nomination carries a point value. Attorneys who have received the highest point value are designated as “Super Lawyers”.
Less than five percent of the total lawyers in the State are selected for inclusion in the “Super Lawyers” category.
We are proud that Phil Catapano has been selected for this honor for the past three consecutive years.

Attorney Frank J. Cafaro speaks at program presented by Suffolk County Academy of Law
At the request of the Suffolk County Bar Association, Frank J. Cafaro lectured recently on jury selection from the viewpoint of the defendant. His presentation included a demonstration of jury selection where a group of Suffolk County residents volunteered to sit on the jury panel. The program, presented by the Suffolk County Academy of Law and entitled "How to Conduct a Civil Trial," encompassed many additional topics of particular concern to the trial lawyer in civil litigation. Among the other speakers were several prominent attorneys and three Supreme Court Justices - the Hon. Thomas F. Whelan, the Hon. Peter H. Mayer, and the Hon. Ralph F. Costello.
