Cornelius Greaves
Founding partner · Trials and contract disputes
Leads the firm's trials and its contract cases, for the side suing and the side sued.
The firm
Three partners and an associate, in one office
Each partner leads a group, and every matter has two of us on it. All four of us work from Pearl Street, a short walk from the courthouses on Niagara Square.
Halina Sobczak
Partner · Construction disputes
Owners, general contractors and trades: pay applications, delay, defects and lien claims.
Fintan Brancato
Partner · Insurance coverage
Denied claims and refused defenses for businesses, and the firm's motions and appeals.
Hiba Qassem
Associate · Discovery and arbitration
Runs document review and depositions across the firm's cases, and is often the second name on a file.
Why two lawyers on every matter
A lawsuit can run a year or more. Lawyers get sick, go on trial in other cases and take vacations. When a court moves a hearing up by a week, your case shouldn't wait for one person to come back.
So every file has a lead partner, who makes the decisions with you, and a second lawyer who reads everything that comes in. Hiba Qassem runs discovery across the firm, which means the person who knows your documents best is always in the building.
You'll meet both of your lawyers before you sign anything, and you'll have both direct lines.
