Marijo C. Adimey

Marijo has devoted her entire legal career to litigating on behalf of those who have suffered immeasurable loss from a catastrophic injury or death of a loved one. Her empathetic approach to her clients, remarkable trial skills, and relentless pursuit of justice have made her one of the top women trial attorneys in the area of personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. Named one of the “Top Women’s Litigators” in New York by Super Lawyers, Ms. Adimey has quickly become a formidable force of the Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf Team. Since joining our firm in 2014, Marijo has obtained several multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of her clients. Marijo is honored to be a voice for those who have been injured. Her career began as an Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County, where she prosecuted cases on behalf of victims of horrific crimes. There, she became an experienced trial attorney, trying dozens of felony and misdemeanor trials to verdict. Prior to joining our team, Marijo had the privilege of representing individuals who have had the unfortunate experience of being the victim of medical malpractice or who have suffered serious physical injury or death in an accident. She continued her zealous representation in 2014 when she joined Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf whereat her exceptional advocacy and litigation skills paid off in 2017, when she became a partner of the firm. Since 2015, Marijo has been recognized by her peers each year for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America and New York Magazine’s “Best Lawyers” in New York in the specialties of medical malpractice and personal injury. She holds an “AV” rating (highest rating) from the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, one of the oldest and best known peer review ratings in the United States for both legal and ethical standards. Marijo’s advocacy skills and dedication to her clients were recognized early in her career, when she was selected by her peers for inclusion in the Super Lawyers 2013: Rising Stars, an honor reserved for those lawyers who exhibit excellence in practice and published in The New York Times. She has since been selected as a “Super Lawyer” every year. She has been awarded the “Client Distinction Award” issued by Martindale-Hubbell, an honor made possible by the clients she served and awarded to less than 1% of the 900,000+ attorneys listed in Martindale-Hubbell. Marijo was appointed by the Administrative Judge for Civil Matters-First Judicial Department, as an attorney member of the Medical Malpractice Advisory Committee for the Supreme Court, New York County. She was also selected to serve a two-year term on the Judiciary Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, a committee which evaluates judges for appointment, reappointment, election or reelection to the bench on the city, state and federal level and makes recommendations for approval. Recently, Marijo was nominated and accepted to become a Board Member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, where she also sits on the Medical Malpractice and Labor Law Committees. She is also a lecturer for the New York State Bar Association. Recent verdicts and settlements include: $60 million verdict in Nassau County Supreme Court for a man left permanently paralyzed following a negligent epidural steroid injection—believed to be the largest medical malpractice verdict ever recorded in the county. $11.5 million settlement during trial in New York County for a 39-year-old woman who developed a thiamine deficiency following bariatric surgery. The thiamine deficiency went undiagnosed during a hospitalization for almost two weeks, resulting in the development of Wernicke’s Encephalopathy and permanent brain damage. $7.5 million settlement on behalf of an infant who suffered brain damage during delivery at a hospital in Long Island. $3.35 million settlement on behalf of an Upstate man whose leg had to be amputated above the knee after a catheter used to administer medications was placed into his artery instead of his vein and not diagnosed for over 18 hours, causing the affected leg to be ischemic. $2.5 million unanimous verdict for a 57-year-old woman who suffered an intestinal perforation of the duodenum during a diagnostic EGD, also known as an upper endoscopy. As a result of the doctor negligence, the woman suffered excruciating pain and had to be brought back to the hospital. After CT scans suggested sepsis, surgeons had to perform life-saving surgery of her abdomen. $2.5 million settlement for a young woman who lost her husband when his treating physicians failed to advise him of an abnormal finding observed on a CT scan for almost 10 months, leading to an advanced stage illness and causing him untimely death. $2.3 million settlement on behalf of a 53 year old woman whose breast cancer went undiagnosed by radiologists who performed her mammograms. The delay of a year and a half resulted in metastasis and a diminished life expectancy. Marijo’s passion and commitment to her clients are what make her a zealous trial lawyer. She is a tremendous asset to the GGCRBHS&M Team. Awards and Honors Super Lawyers® Selectees Marijo C.
