About this episode

When preparation meets purpose, powerful institutions take notice.

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 254 features Joseph Bavaro, Senior Partner at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel, & Bavaro, and one of New York's most respected trial attorneys in medical malpractice. We discuss Joe's story - a father who didn't finish school, a mother who worked as a court clerk, and his early days as a prosecutor in the Sex Crimes Special Victims Unit at the Staten Island DA's Office.

Today, Joe approaches complex cases from the client's perspective and prepares every matter as if it's headed to trial. Inspired by Marvin Salenger, Joe has become a cornerstone of SSKB's trial practice - known for his aggressive courtroom presence, meticulous preparation, and unwavering dedication to fighting for the little guy against powerful institutions and giving clients a true voice.
