Coffey Modica O”™Meara Capowski LLP (CMOC) In less than a year and a half, has grown from three attorneys ”“ the founding partners ”“ in White Plains to more than 45 attorneys and staff in eight offices across the Northeast and included the addition of partners Michael Mezzacappa, Lawrence Luppi, Vince Avery and Glen Feinberg.
“We are growing at an unprecedented pace,” explained Juliann O”™Meara, CMOC managing partner. “Not only are our impressive results yielding more business from existing clients ”“ both insurers and self-insureds ”“ but they are attracting new clients as well.”
Mezzacappa and Luppi handle high-exposure, catastrophic personal injury and property damage cases, bolstering the firm”™s already deep bench of trial attorneys and litigators. Avery strengthens the existing employment and management liability practice while Feinberg focuses on defending ultra-sensitive, high-value cases, including those related to the Child Victims Act.
Much of Mezzacappa”™s practice is focused on cases arising from explosions and fires. He has litigated and tried some of the most notable fire and explosion, product liability, premises liability and construction accident cases in New York. His experience working for a national defense firm for 21 years and as in-house counsel for a national insurance company for five years gives him experience, which allows him to intimately understand his clients”™ internal procedures and challenges.
Luppi represents clients in general liability matters, including high-exposure premises liability and New York labor law cases with claims of wrongful death. He handles all aspects of litigation and works creatively and diligently to extricate his clients from their cases.
Avery defends employers across all industry sectors, focusing on two highly regulated industries hospitality and home health care. In addition, he provides advice and counsel, working closely with in-house counsel and business owners to mitigate litigation.
Feinberg is a veteran trial attorney and former Manhattan assistant district attorney, who represents educational, childcare, health care and religious institutions in general liability, employment and malpractice claims.
Michael Coffey, one of the founding partners said, “We also offer a unique collegial culture founded on mentoring and collaboration and attract attorneys who want something a little different than a traditional law firm.”
