Municipal Lawyer

The question “Can I sue the City of New York?” is one that we have confronted many, many times at the law firm of Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law. The simple answer is yes — provided you have valid cause and file a timely notice of claim.

This means that if you were seriously injured and believe any government agency or employee is at fault, you should contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
