For 2018, the following firm case results were among NYLJ's Top Verdicts & Settlements in the state of New York:
- $4.2 Million Settlement — In June 2018, in the matter of Cardona v.

City of New York, the firm secured a $1.225 million mediated settlement on behalf of its client, the #18 largest settlement on the 2018 NYLJ's Top Settlements list. The settlement was recovered on behalf of a 70-year-old construction worker who was injured when he fell off a ladder while working on a construction site in Flushing. The suit claimed that fall resulted from an elevated-related hazard, as defined by New York Labor Law 240(1), and that the worker was not supplied proper safety equipment as was legally required under the statute.
