On June 1, 2024, Ralph Morales accepted the firm’s offer to become an equity partner.  Ralph has been a partner with BPN since April of 2017 and is widely regarded as one of the premier trial attorneys in our field.  Fortunately for BPN, Ralph is not only a terrific attorney, he is an even better partner and friend.  

Ralph has successfully tried dozens of malpractice actions in some of the most challenging venues in the country.  Prior to entering private practice in 2002, Ralph spent six years as a senior assistant district attorney for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. During that time, Ralph was entrusted with trying the highest-profile, serious felony cases in Brooklyn.  

When Ralph is not excelling in the court room, he is volunteering to benefit his community.  He serves on the Executive Board of the Farmingdale Police Activity League and is highly involved in coaching and supervising fun sports programs for local children. Mr. Morales is the Vice President of the Board of Education in the Farmingdale School District, where he has served as an elected Trustee since 2014. Ralph also authored a book about the life of his namesake, hero, and late uncle: Vincent Santaniello, a U.S. Marine that was killed in action during the Vietnam War in 1968 at the age of 19.

We are thrilled and very fortunate to have Ralph as part of the firm’s leadership team.
