MOSHE MAIMON

A partner at Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP since 1993, Moshe Maimon is a litigation specialist. Since joining the firm in 1986, Moshe has been handling complex personal injury cases involving toxic substances, pharmaceuticals, defective consumer products, and medical malpractice, as well as consumer fraud and other commercial litigation matters. Moshe has tried and been part of legal teams that have won some of the largest damage awards in the country. Moreover, many of these cases have yielded landmark appellate court decisions.

Moshe served as co-lead counsel in the consolidated Federal Court Brooklyn Navy Yard litigation, which resulted in a damage award that was listed in The National Law Journal as the largest in the nation for 1992. In 1993, he researched, developed, and acted as a co-trial counsel with LPK partner Robert Komitor on a group of asbestos injury cases that were tried in the Federal District Court for the Southern District Court of New York. These cases resulted in one of the largest asbestos damage awards in New York, over $40 million, which was one of the largest in the nation for that year. In 1998, Moshe tried - and then successfully defended on appeal - one of the largest compensatory damage judgments ever in an asbestos case nationwide. Continuing his significant trial success, in 2005 he obtained the largest verdict in an asbestos case ever in the state of New Jersey.

Moshe served as one of the lead attorneys representing members of the Navajo Nation in their cases against companies that abandoned uranium mines on the Reservation. He also headed the firm's litigation representing former diet drug patients who suffered heart valve damage. In 1996, Moshe became the first lawyer to ever prevail in a repetitive stress injury lawsuit against a product manufacturer in a case tried in Baltimore, Maryland.

In addition to his work supervising the firm's pharmaceutical cases, Moshe shares the responsibility with senior partners Stanley Levy and Alan Konigsberg for the coordination of the firm's commercial litigation cases and their trials.

Moshe joined the firm while still a student at Brooklyn Law School where he earned a degree in 1986. He has lectured on the standards for the admissibility of scientific evidence into court as well as effective trial techniques and strategies. He is a member of the Bar in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Washington.
