About Ed
Born and raised in Rochester, Ed received his undergraduate and law degrees in Ohio before returning home to begin a career centered on workers’ compensation defense.
Ed’s experience has positioned him as a subject matter expert in multiple areas of workers’ compensation law and risk management, and he has been asked to speak on a variety of topics before the New York State Bar Association, and at workshops and conferences held by both for-profit and not-for-profit employers, including many municipalities.
In 2012 and 2018, Ed was honored by colleagues as a Super Lawyer in the area of workers’ compensation for Upstate New York.
A proud father of two children, Ed is actively involved in their many extracurricular activities, and he enjoys sports, running, and hiking.
