Serious personal injury claims and action for victims of certain civil rights violations have been our firm’s areas of focus for more than four decades. Our lawyers have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for many thousands of clients. We prepare cases thoroughly for trial and take them the distance when out-of-court settlements are not in your best interests.

Ours is a family business, and we treat clients of all origins and circumstances with care. Key principles of our practice include:

• We never charge for an initial consultation, and we work on contingency. That means we do not get paid unless we obtain money for you through settlement negotiations or trial.
• We strive to return every call or email within 24 hours. We will be responsive and available whether you are a current or potential client.
• You can count on straight talk and reliable information at our law firm.
• If you cannot visit us but have a viable case and important legal needs, a lawyer will come to you.
• Our friendly, professional staff is fluent in Spanish as well as English, and we can call upon other interpreters if needed to communicate with you.

If we take your case, that means we believe in your case and will do everything in our power to earn a result that satisfies you. For prompt, personal attention from an attorney you can trust, beginning with your free, confidential case evaluation, call 212-568-4245 or contact us online.
