A NEED FOR EVERY CASE TO BE INDIVIDUALLY LITIGATED AND EVERY CLIENT INDIVIDUALLY REPRESENTED
Roberta Ashkin practices law from a fresh, unique prospective, blending skill, tenacity and compassion to win justice for individuals and their families suffering catastrophic injuries from faulty products, defective drugs, environmental toxins, medical mishaps and workplace injuries.
Recognizing a remarkable opportunity to serve clients in a way that relates to their personal and legal objectives, Roberta approaches each client and each case on a uniquely personal level, something which she believes often is abandoned by larger firms.
Once the managing attorney for a nationally prominent firm, Roberta formed her own practice in order to take a hands-on approach to both individual cases and mass torts. She is passionate about helping women, children, families, minorities and others in need of highly professional, insightful and individualized representation.
"I am woman friendly and accessible at all hours," she said. "My clients have my phone numberevery single one of them."
That dedication is only one of the reasons that Roberta, who achieved the highest rating for legal ability in Martindale-Hubbell, has been named to the Super Lawyers list. For nearly a decade she has served in leadership positions in the American Association of Justice, Public Justice and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and is sought after by many of the nation's leading law firms to oversee their New York case dockets on leading mass tort and individual cases.
Her reputation as a champion for rights also is reflected in her service to the community. She serves on the Board of Directors and steers the Legal Advisory Board of the Cancer Schmancer Movement, a policy-changing organization founded by actress Fran Drescher to ensure that all women's cancers are diagnosed in Stage 1, when they are most curable.
Roberta sums up her philosophy this way: "I'm here to help people," she said. "That's my mission in life."
