The 35 million dollar verdict was against hospital and pediatric neurology for negligent diagnosis and treatment of enzyme disorder.
Silberstein was a trial attorney for the Public Service Mutual Insurance Company and in a ten-year time frame never lost a single case.
Reichenbaum & Silberstein, having settled a case for $2.6 million, was second of the five top firms listed.
In February 1967, Silberstein won one of the largest cases in Nassau history for one, Arthur Lebowitz, who was run down and left with two fractured legs.
Silberstein said, "Lebowitz was once an avid skier who would never again be able to indulge in the social and athletic activities that composed a substantial part of his life prior to the accident."
