Biography

Mr. Gross is a member of the firm’s litigation practice and is the lead attorney in the contingency fee/personal injury section of the firm. His practice focuses on complex multi-party civil litigation, including product liability claims, commercial disputes, serious personal injury, large loss subrogation, and insurance coverage disputes.

On the defense side, he has won a number of dispositive motions concluding the case prior to trial and has vigorously defended the rights of his clients. On the plaintiff side, he has tried and settled numerous cases, recovering over $55 million. He is experienced in pre-suit dispute resolution, litigation, and trial and appellate procedure. His clients include individuals, local corporations, insurance companies, and international corporations.
