Lennon C. Edwards is an experienced trial attorney in his second decade of practice in the personal injury field. Mr. Edwards is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the Brooklyn Bar Association. Prior to joining L&S, he was a partner at Lester Schwab Katz & Dwyer, LLP and distinguished himself in trial work at Leahey & Johnson, P.C., another leading insurance defense firm. His understanding of the broad range of issues involved in strategically litigating a case has resulted in one favorable outcome after another and millions of dollars recovered by way of settlements and verdicts.

Recently, the New York Law Journal independently selected a matter tried by Mr. Edwards to be included in its publication of the highest verdicts of 2009. Mr. Edwards is also a well regarded speaker, and has lectured at various legal education programs including the Marino Institute for Continuing Legal Education on trial practice topics such as jury selection and practical issues such as how to start a lawsuit. Other lecture topics of interest have included the Art of Negotiation and Direct Examination of a Lay Witness. Because stellar ability doesn't happen by accident, Mr. Edwards believes that strong work ethic, wisdom and faith are among the pillars to success in any field and any case.
