Medical Negligence
There is no denying that errors in medical care and judgment do occur and oftentimes, these failures are the result of avoidable negligence and malfeasance. As many as 400,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical errors making it the third leading cause of death in this county.
Toxic Torts
We believe that companies should warn about the potential risks of exposure to toxins and chemicals. Each year, many lives are lost as the result of negligence on the part of chemical manufacturers, industrial plants, and employers who put their workers at risk.
Transactional & Real Estate
Transactional law is the law governing business to business, business to individual and individual to individual agreements. Transactions may range from simple sales agreements to complex arrangements.
Testimonials
“From my first meeting with Roberta Ashkin, I knew I had found the right lawyer for me. She took the time to understand my injuries and I knew she believed in my case. She answered all my questions and kept me fully informed throughout and guided me through a very stressful time.
I would recommend Roberta to anyone who has a medical malpractice case. She went above and beyond and I was very pleased with the settlement she negotiated for me. You will be in good hands!”

“Several years ago I was asked by a colleague if I could recommend a medical malpractice attorney. Without any hesitation I referred Roberta Ashkin. Ms. Ashkin worked relentlessly to obtain a significant settlement in a very complex case.”

“I engaged Roberta Ashkin after an auto accident when a tractor trailer hit my car and I sustained complicated injuries including a herniated disk in my neck. Not only did she negotiate a substantial settlement she was a constant source of support and guidance throughout the process.
Years later I was on an escalator in a department store that came to a sudden halt as it was descending. My wrist and ankle felt immediately sore. But I thought it was just a temporary effect. But before I left the store, I called Roberta and she told me not to leave until I filed an incident report. In the days and weeks that followed I found that my pain and mobility decreased significantly. Roberta was now able to hold the escalator company accountable”
