Here at the Mininno Law Office, attorney John Mininno is aware of issues and policies regarding health care and safety. In order to increase awareness about these very important topics, we frequently write letters to local publications and politicians.
Here are some of the recent letters we’ve written.

Topic: Ensign Amendment
Politician: Senator Frank R. Lautenberg
Date: February 2010
Summary: Attorney John Mininno thanked Senator Lautenberg for his support for patient rights. His vote, along with 65 other politicians, ensured the Ensign Amendment would not pass. This was a great step in the right direction for people who needlessly suffer from medical malpractice.

Topic: Tort reform
Publication: Courier-Post
Date: September 2009

Car safety for kids
