Personal Injury

We recognize the roadblocks thrown up by insurance companies, to prevent injured victims from being fully compensated.

We've successfully navigated these "insurance made" hurdles for over two decades, on behalf of New Yorkers, who have suffered serious and catastrophic injuries.

Bankruptcy

How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

Injured men, women and children in our communities are no match for the big money insurance companies, who are the "real defendants" in most negligence cases.

The decision to represent injured victims was easy, because nothing beats the opportunity to ensure that voiceless victims, frequently ignored by insurance companies, are fairly and fully compensated for the pain, suffering, medical expenses and lost income they experience.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

Our firm has built a successful practice by insisting on a client centered approach, smart + hard work and non-stop improvement.

We recognize the danger in resting on our laurels, and constantly seek to expand our knowledge base, in order to better serve our clients. Regular Continuing Legal Education, Seminars, Webinars, and of course regular jury trials, keep us current and ready to continue our zealous advocacy for our clients.

Experience shows that insurance companies will engage in long delays, to avoid facing a jury. These juries made up of men and women of our community, readily see through the tactic used by insurance companies, who always claim that victims' injuries are "pre-existing."

This means that injured victims must have lawyers who have the passion to aggressively advocate on their behalf, and also bring a proven track record of pretrial and trial success. Our Lawyers check all the boxes.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

We take time to give prospective clients clear and sufficient information on first contact. This allows them understand the process and make the very important decision on whether to hire our firm.

So many seriously injured victims are under compensated or in many cases, not compensated at all, because of the huge demand on time and resources required to take on insurance companies. Our firm commits the time and resources needed to go all the way to a jury of your peers.

Crucial to our success is knowledge of the courts in our community, the personnel and even adversaries, which has only enhanced the quality of services to our clients.

Involvement in the local bar associations and events, also helps foster relationships, often called upon when needed to achieve the right results for clients.
