“The law has the power to do great good or great evil. Always know for which agency you are employed and if you find that it is for evil, end your representation. A lawyer without a conscience is the worst of all beasts.”
–Jerome S. Kalur

Ms. Kalur has represented hundreds of injured and disabled clients at Social Security Administrative Hearings, Arbitration, Settlement Conferences and at Trial.

Her commitment to patients injured by medical negligence has its roots in her father and mentor, Jerome S.

Medicine and a love of the law has been a strong influence in her life and Ms. Kalur has dedicated her practice to the representation of those injured by medical negligence and defective medical devices.

“ An advocate in the discharge of his duty knows but one person in all the world, and that person is his client. To save that client by all means and expedients, and at all hazards and costs to other persons, and amongst them, to himself, is his first and only duty; and in performing this duty he must not regard the alarm, the torments, the destruction which he may bring upon others.”
–Lord Brougham
