Attorney Rob Kornfeld Has Been There. He Gets It.
Our brain injury lawyer is passionate about advocating for the rights of his clients, and his firsthand experience with a previous mild traumatic brain injury gives him a unique connection to the clients he represents who have also suffered a brain injury. Attorney Rob Kornfeld was involved in a serious car accident in July 1985. Although he fully recovered, he suffered a mild brain injury and underwent five knee surgeries to recover from this traumatic wreck. Rob suffered from post-concussion syndrome and was out of work for several months.
During that time, he incurred mounting medical bills and wage loss. Because of this experience, Rob understands what you may be going through. Fortunately, Rob was able to recover, and he now devotes his law practice to helping other head injury victims and their families recover from collisions and medical malpractice. He draws not only from legal precedent but also from his lived experience to provide compassionate guidance and support.
