On this week's edition of Counsel's Corners, Ziff Law Attorney Christina Bruner Sonsire explains that although HIPAA laws do not prevent private non-healthcare related businesses from asking about a person's COVID-19 status, much more guidance is needed from federal and state governments about how to handle these situations as mask mandates begin to lift across the country.

Throughout the past five years, Mike has handled all types of complex personal injury and medical malpractice cases, earning him recognition as a Super Lawyers Rising Star. Ziff Law is so f...ortunate to have Mike on its team as there is no question he is gritty, hard-working and tenacious - just like he was at LeMoyne University when he was featured on ESPN's #1 Play of the Day! Congratulations Mike!

Each year Ziff Law Partner Christina Bruner Sonsire prepares on overview of damages verdicts for New York’s Academy of Trial Lawyers, the preeminent organization for civil trial attorneys in our state, as part of the Academy’s Annual Update. Typically Christina, who serves as one of the Academy’s five Deans, travels to six cities each fall to conduct live presentations for the Annual Update. However, this year COVID made that impossible - and instead required her to present online today to roughly 1,500 lawyers. This level of collaboration with attorneys from all across New York allows Christina and the lawyers and professionals at Ziff Law to stay updated on legal developments and establish meaningful relationships with colleagues - things that go a long way toward allowing us to provide the very best representation for our clients!

Nothing like a very nice thank you note from a happy client to start your day! Clients like this are why we LOVE our work. Hello Karen and Jim, First, I am so sorry and embarrassed I have not written this letter sooner. I want to say how thankful I have been for all the help, guidance and support that the both of you provided me. This experience has been very challenging for me with many life changes that I have had to get used to. I am still working on many ...things but making progress everyday. Far above and beyond the financial compensation that you won for me, I am most thankful for the care and concern that I felt the whole time I was given by you and Karen. I never felt at any time that I was going it alone, and that meant to me more than you may ever know. I do not know how to ever thank the both of you for all that you did! You both are very special people to me and if I can ever be of service in any way to either of you please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you again, Tom
