About
The Firm
Complex
Litigation
Known for its masterful handling of complex litigation,
the law firm of Trief & Olk has a reputation for
success in legal matters requiring high-powered trial
skills, expert research and sophisticated strategies.
Founded
in 1987, Trief & Olk has tried numerous complex
medical malpractice jury and judge trials in federal
and state courts, and has successfully continued representation
through the appellate courts when necessary.
There
is probably no greater endorsement of the caliber of
Trief & Olk’s skills than the fact that law
firms throughout New York and New Jersey not only refer
cases to the firm, but actually hire Trief & Olk
when they need a lawyer themselves.
Our
reputation in legal circles is such that it is not uncommon
for adversaries of Trief & Olk to recommend our
firm. On occasion, our adversaries on prior cases have
even hired us to represent them.
Laparoscopic
Gallbladder Surgery
We are very knowledgeable about laparoscopic gallbladder
surgeries, the kinds of complications that can result,
and the damages they cause. We have gotten significant
seven-figure settlements for our clients and we are
currently handling such medical malpractice cases.
Exceptional
Client Care
We are known for our litigation expertise, the in-depth
analysis we give all our medcial malpractice cases,
and the level of time, energy, and due diligence we
invest from the very beginning of each and every medical
malpractice case. We never avoid the hard work of discovery
in hopes of an early or easy settlement. We are exquisitely
prepared —and prepared to try the case —
every time.
About
Our Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Trief & Olk takes a team approach to every case
we accept. Every client has at least two – and
sometimes more – senior attorneys staffing the
case. Associates are never given responsibility for
a medical malpractice case without the involvement of
one or more partners. Our lawyer-to-case ratio is extremely
high, thus assuring the degree of personal attention
and thoroughness for which our firm is known.
Our
attorneys are expert litigators that have achieved consistently
impressive results in New York and New Jersey. The Trief
