Garson & Jakub LLP

What Garson & Jakub LLP does

Garson & Jakub LLP (also operating as Garson Jakub & Morris LLP) is a boutique litigation firm headquartered at 29 Broadway in New York City with a second office in Red Bank, New Jersey. The firm is dedicated to the defense of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals in high-exposure medical malpractice actions, as well as dental malpractice, nursing home and long-term care defense, professional licensing and discipline matters (OPMC/OPD), appellate practice, and general liability defense. Its primary client base is individual physicians across specialties (obstetrics, neurosurgery, orthopedics, dermatology, radiology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, podiatry, psychiatry) and major hospital systems including NewYork-Presbyterian, NYC Health + Hospitals, Hackensack Meridian Health, Richmond University Medical Center, and CentraState Medical Center.

The firm is structured as a private limited liability partnership owned by its partners, with Andrew S. Garson, Louis E. Jakub, Jr., and Michael J. Morris as senior partners. Work is generated primarily through insurance carrier panel assignments from major medical malpractice insurers (Allied World, Medical Liability Mutual, ProAssurance, MLMIC, Beazley, Arch, RSUI, Starr, Physicians Reciprocal Insurers), supplemented by direct attorney referrals and reputation-driven case intake. The partners are nationally recognized trial attorneys, with Andrew Garson having practiced since 1978 and holding an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell for over 30 years, and Michael Morris being a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates since 2023 and featured in The National Law Journal's "Winning" issue.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees, primarily billable hours on case engagements, with the firm recognized as a Tier 1 firm in Medical Malpractice Law by U.S. News – Best Lawyers for New York City in 2020. The firm's core technology is courtroom visual trial presentation (custom illustrations, computer-generated videos, anatomical models) used to explain complex medical procedures to juries. The firm markets primarily through case result publications, professional conferences, and client testimonials rather than paid advertising.
