Tracey Steinberg, Esq. became licensed to practice law in New York State in 1997. Her first job after law school was as an associate in an insurance defense firm, where she picked a jury just 3 days after she was admitted to the New York State Bar. That case settled. But soon after, Tracey won a defense verdict and her enthusiasm for litigation was solidified. She then worked for 2 plaintiffs’ firms and that is where she learned about per diem attorneys who were able to handle court appearances and depositions all day every day.
