Pro Bono

Ted is active with the Firm’s pro bono practice. Under a joint representation between Kelley Drye and the Center for Social Justice at Seton Hall Law, Ted argued before the Second Circuit on behalf of a client seeking to reverse a Social Security Administration disability benefit determination that wrongly denied our client benefits for over eighteen years. In a win for the client, the Second Circuit vacated and remanded the case.
