At Mirman, Markovits & Landau, P.C., I regularly speak with clients who have cancer and want clarity about cancer-causing ingredients in everyday products, most particularly talc, which has been implicated in cancers affecting women. And women have started to hold manufacturers responsible in lawsuits. What Is Talc? Talc is a naturally occurring mineral made of… read more

I am Michele Mirman, and I have been reading an in-depth article in Hadassah Magazine about the changing conversation around menopause by Hilary Danailova, and I found myself nodding as I turned each page. For decades, women were expected to suffer quietly through midlife health changes. We were told it was “normal.” We were told… read more

Last month, New York City made a major change to the Gender-Motivated Violence Act, and I feel compelled to share this important information immediately. Too many survivors still believe it is “too late” to seek justice. Too many were turned away by courts. Too many were silenced by technical legal barriers. That is changing in… read more

Michele Mirman | Abuse Awareness | January 12, 2026

I’ve been reading about the worsening bullying problem in NYC schools. Students say they feel unsafe. Parents share their fear. Too many kids report harassment, intimidation, and violence at school and online. A recent city survey showed 51% of NYC students say bullying and harassment happen often at their schools. Many kids say they feel… read more

I’ve been reading about a new procedure the medical profession has researched and is offering to reduce our risk of ovarian cancer. Finally! We are being considered in our own right. The procedure is called opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) — and it may represent one of the biggest steps forward in women’s cancer prevention that most… read more

For all the progress we’ve made in science and medicine, we women still face alarming disparities in medical care that result in serious, poor health outcomes for us. Why? I am Michele Mirman, and I have spent decades seeing up close what my clients have gone through because of the terrible impact gender biases in… read more

I am Michele Mirman, a New York City medical malpractice and personal injury trial attorney for over forty years. I’ve represented many women who, despite doing everything right—eating well, exercising, attending their annual checkups, and trusting their doctors—were not diagnosed with breast cancer in time.  By the time they were correctly diagnosed, the disease had spread, robbing… read more

When I talk to women who’ve discovered they’re victims of a cancer misdiagnosis, I always hear “If only I’d known sooner.”  “Sooner” because early detection is the key in breast cancer to survival. Many times, however, “sooner” did not happen because a doctor failed to disclose the patient had dense breast tissue — a condition… read more

I’m Michele Mirman, and as a medical malpractice attorney, I’ve stood for years with women who’d been harmed by delayed or missed diagnoses. I’ve heard over and over how the medical malpractice of their doctors wasn’t an abstraction to them; it was real lives changed. Now with AI entering breast imaging, we have a new… read more
