On December 18, 2025, Anthony Marino with a second seat assist from Nicholas Albanese obtained a defense verdict after a two week medical malpractice trial in Supreme Court, Nassau County before Justice Catherine Rizzo. The case was one for pain and suffering and wrongful death of a then 47-year-old widowed mother of two. It was alleged that the client orthopedic surgeon and physician’s assistant were negligent in prescribing and failing to monitor the decedent’s use of opioid medications as well as other psychiatric medications including benzodiazepines causing her to pass due to acute drug intoxication. After three hours of deliberation, the jury found in favor of the doctor and physicians assistant.
