He is an experienced, skilled and aggressive trial lawyer who fights for those who have been hurt by the negligence or legal fault of other people. He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum - an organization strictly limited to trial attorneys who have obtained million and multi-million dollar verdicts or settlements (less than 1% of lawyers in the US are members).
Mr. Willens has a unique understanding of the dynamics and strategies of serious personal injury and wrongful death cases. In the past, he was a partner at Clifford Law Offices where he successfully litigated and tried various serious personal injury and wrongful death cases on behalf of plaintiffs.
