Charles W. Kreines was graduated from New York University cum laude and Fordham University School of Law and then launched his career as trial counsel for The Hertz Corporation. A partner in the firm since 1991, Mr. Kreines concentrates in trial practice, including cable communication industry litigation, premises liability, automobile litigation, and construction accident cases.

He has tried high-exposure matters with superlative results. In a construction accident case he tried recently in Brooklyn, he represented the sole defendant in a catastrophic injury case to a verdict that was a fraction of the plaintiff's settlement demand. In an extraordinary case in Brooklyn, he achieved a defense verdict at trial involving a plaintiff who shattered his spine, lingered for a few years and died, allegedly due to the negligence of a cable installer who was said to have accidentally pushed him off a roof while he was showing him the cable connection. A member of that small group of lawyers who understood and exploited New York's anti-subrogation doctrine from its inception, he has obtained large scale risk transfers and legal fee recoveries. He is a member of the Defense Research Institute and the New York State and Brooklyn Bar Associations.
