Our Personal Injury team represents people in all types of general negligence
cases. Our clients include the victims of motor vehicle accidents, construction site
accidents, slip and falls and virtually any kind of accident in which a human being
is hurt through the carelessness of another person or company. Many of our
clients have been seriously injured and representing such a victim or the family of
a person injured or killed in an accident presents unique challenges. In pursuing
these claims, we often assist our clients in preparing and filing necessary forms
and reports and in applying for no-fault, disability, medical insurance or other
ancillary benefits.
At our offices, we make it our practice to aggressively pursue and prosecute
personal injury claims on behalf of our clients. We pride ourselves on staying in
touch with our clients through every phase of the personal injury litigation and
delivering personal attention to every client.
CRIMINAL LAW
When you are charged with a crime, the most important thing you can do is to
immediately contact your attorney. Years of experience in law enforcement have
given our criminal attorneys the experience needed to successfully defend you in
your time of need. Our criminal team is headed by an attorney who has tried
cases at all levels during the time he spent with the Federal Defenders and the
Bronx County District Attorney’s Office before returning to the defense bar.
Our criminal team has represented clients charged with serious criminal
offenses of every type, from minor traffic infractions and DWI cases all the way up
to and including homicide cases. The team also handles appeals of both
convictions and sentences where the circumstances warrant. We have also
represented both corporate and commercial entities in a variety of criminal and
administrative matters, including defending such businesses before the
Environmental Control Board in New York State. Our practice before such
administrative bodies enables the Firm to effectively represent any type of
corporation in a cost efficient manner.
People make mistakes. They commit sins. Even good people do things, which
are wrong, especially when they are young and foolish. The measure of a man is
not whether he lives a perfect life. The measure of a man is how he deals with his
mistakes and sins. This is where we can help you. We can lead you through the
minefield of the criminal justice system, and show you that there is a life after
being accused of a crime.
REAL ESTATE
Our Real Estate team has quickly developed a distinguished reputation for the
high level of service provided to clients in their developmental projects,
