Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Attorneys In New York and New Jersey, serving clients across the USA
Founded
in 1987, the law firm of Trief & Olk has tried numerous
complex judge and jury trials in federal and state courts,
and 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.
Birth
Injuries
We are highly knowledgeable about Brachial
Plexus Injuries, Erb’s Palsy, Shoulder
Dystocia and the complications
and quality of life issues that accompany these birth
injuries.
We
are also very caring attorneys. Although we are known for
our litigation expertise, the in-depth analysis we give all
our cases, and the level of time, energy, and due diligence
we invest from the very beginning of each and every case,
we are also known for the level or care and personal service
we give each and every client.
About
Our 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 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

impressive results in New York and New Jersey. The Trief &
Olk attorneys are:
Ted Trief, JD 1976
