The Most Significant Case of My Career

Steven Benvenisti, Esq., is a partner with Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., one of the largest personal injury law firms in New Jersey. He will discuss a catastrophic brain injury case he has shared with hundreds of audiences throughout the country and which has been featured on television and the news media -- this case being the most significant case of his entire career. This program will credit, applaud, and enhance the very important roles played by rehabilitation professionals, caregivers, the Brain Injury Association, the survivor, and their family. The valuable lessons learned from this program have inspired and changed many people with brain injury and their loved ones and providers in their own personal and professional lives.
