Sullivan & Brill, LLP

Born in Jamaica, Queens to working class parents, Joseph Sullivan became the second member of his family to attend college and the first to obtain an advanced degree. He graduated cum laude from Temple University School of Law. While there, he was a writer and editor of the Temple Law Review.

Joseph started his legal career defending insurance companies and corporations, which gave him valuable trial experience, having tried over 25 cases to verdict and having settled hundreds of cases at various stages of trial. During this time, he went up against and beat some of the top trial lawyers in New York City. One of his successes was featured in the New York Jury Verdict Reporter as the “Verdict of the Week”. The attorney he was up against was the lead attorney in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing cases, and generally considered to be one of the top personal injury attorneys in New York City.
