New York Lawyer Panel
Nicholas Papain
Nicholas Papain graduated Cum Laude from American University Washington College of Law in 1978. A Member of the Sullivan, Papain, Block, McGrath, & Cannavo, P.C. law firm for 23 years, Nick currently is President-Elect of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. He is a leading trial lawyer in the state of New York advocating for clients injured as a result of defective products, motor vehicle accidents, unsafe premises, and other incidents involving negligence. Nick recovered $3.75 million for a laborer who was seriously injured in a fall during a bridge painting project. The high regard Nick’s colleagues have for his skills as a trial lawyer was best illustrated during a fee application proceeding regarding the Firm’s representation of New York State in its action against the major tobacco companies which resulted in a $25 billion recovery for the State. Mr. Papain was chosen by the five other law firms representing the State to play a critical role before a national arbitration panel, which awarded our Firm and the other firms an unprecedented fee for their contribution to what authorities hailed as “the most successful legal attack on a major public health hazard in the history of recorded civilization.” See Articles by Nicholas Papain
Vito Cannavo
Vito Cannavo received his law degree from Cornell Law School in 1978. Recently named one of New York Magazine’s Best Lawyers in New York, this seasoned litigator came to the Firm in 1988 and became a member in 1992, after gaining experience as a top trial lawyer for The Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, and after having served as a law clerk to a United States District Court Judge.

His recent verdict of $5 million dollars in a medical malpractice case for a delay in diagnosing cancer is but one example of his extraordinary skills.

His frequent lectures at bar associations and judicial seminars and his numerous publications have made him a respected authority on New York municipal and premises liability law.
