Personal Injury Pre-Suit Counsel
Adaeze Okafor, Esq. is Personal Injury Pre-Suit Counsel at Legal Tank, where she reviews demand letters and pre-suit injury packages for accuracy and persuasive strength. Over more than a decade of practice she has concentrated on the pre-litigation phase of personal injury claims, where clear liability framing and disciplined damages math often determine whether a claim resolves without a lawsuit. Her work centers on translating medical records, wage records, and liability facts into documents that adjusters and defense counsel take seriously.
Before joining Legal Tank as a document reviewer, Adaeze spent years handling injury matters from intake through negotiation, which shaped her focus on settlement valuation and evidence organization. She is admitted to the New York State Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. At Legal Tank she verifies that each drafted demand reflects the correct legal standards, supports every damages figure, and reads as a credible pre-suit demand.
