Hall Booth Smith, P.C. (HBS) is delighted to welcome Louis E. Valvo as a Partner and Jannah B. Eichenbaum as an Associate to its growing office in White Plains, New York. Louis joined HBS after spending the last 14 years as a partner at Koster, Brady & Nagler LLP where he was an accomplished trial attorney with a successful record in federal, state, and appellate courts.
Louis is a skilled trial attorney with more than 35 years of experience in civil and criminal litigation. He focuses his practice on personal injury, commercial litigation, medical malpractice, labor law, employment discrimination, and premise liability cases.
Louis began his career as an Assistant DA under Robert M. Morgenthau in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. He shifted to private practice in 1994, where he was responsible for civil litigation, including medical malpractice, personal injury, products liability, and white-collar criminal defense in federal and state courts. Louis then spent twelve years as Chief Assistant District Attorney at the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office.
His cases have been profiled in various books and movies, and he has served as a legal analyst on television shows such as Court TV and Hollywood Justice. Additionally, Louis is a faculty member for the National District Attorneys Association, American Prosecutors Research Institute, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
Louis earned his J.D. degree from New York Law School, studied at Oxford University in Oxford, England, and received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Long Island University-Southampton College.
