Sheryl Menkes has been diligently defending the rights of the injured in Metropolitan New York for more than 30 years, and has a long track record of winning significant settlements and jury verdicts for her clients. Since the establishment of her law firm, Ms. Menkes has secured multimillion-dollar settlements for a myriad of clients. Her very first trial was published in the Daily News for a $3+ million verdict for a city worker who injured his thumb in a bathroom as a result of the building owner's negligence. She achieved a multimillion dollar settlement for the mother of a nineteen year old son, who died from undiagnosed Meningitis after seeking treatment in the emergency department of a City Hospital. In 2012, Ms. Menkes obtained a settlement for an injured construction worker in excess of $8 million. In 2017, she achieved one of the top ten jury verdicts in the entire state of New York for a client who fell down a flight of steps in a store. In 2002, Ms Menkes made law in a case she handled through appeal titled James v. NYCTA, 294 A.D 2d 476 (2nd Dept 2002). In that year she was recognized in Swathmore’s Whose Who in American Women. Ms. Menkes has never lost any of her clients’ cases. She attributes a great deal of her success to her never ending fight to get her clients the justice they deserve. In the coming years, she hopes to effect legislation that improves the life of patients in nursing homes.
