About Me

Deirdre Ostrowski joined the firm in 2008 with a focus on civil litigation in State and Federal Courts. She interned at Fogel Keating Wagner Polidori Free throughout law school. Deirdre’s practice is focused on helping those who have been seriously injured and their families to obtain fair compensation from the parties responsible. Recent cases include a traumatic leg amputation caused by the negligent operation of a tractor-trailer, an abused nursing home patient, a wrongful death caused by the failure to warn of a dangerous tire, and a traumatic brain injury caused by the negligent operation of a tractor-trailer.

Deirdre enjoys spending her free time with her husband and teenage daughter. Oftentimes, she spends her weekends on the side lines cheering on her daughter as she plays lacrosse. She also enjoys traveling, running, reading and dining. During the summer months, she loves to return home to the east coast to enjoy the beach and spending time with her extended family.
