Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through others' negligence in auto accidents, falls, and workplace incidents. Our practice handles medical expenses, pain and suffering claims, and lost wage recovery. With decades of experience negotiating with insurers and litigating in NY courts, we ensure clients receive fair compensation for both immediate and long-term impacts of injuries.
Real Estate Closings
Our firm manages residential and commercial real estate transactions with meticulous attention to title issues and contract negotiations. We protect client interests during closings, handle mortgage coordination, and resolve liens or encumbrances. With litigation experience informing our transactional work, we anticipate potential disputes to ensure smooth property transfers.
Criminal Defense
We defend clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges including DUI/DWI, assault, and drug offenses. Our approach challenges evidence admissibility, negotiates plea agreements, and prepares for trial when necessary. With former prosecutorial experience, we understand how to counter district attorneys' strategies while protecting clients' rights throughout New York's legal process.
Medical Malpractice
We pursue claims against healthcare providers for surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries. Our practice evaluates standard-of-care violations with medical expert input, quantifies long-term damages, and litigates complex cases against institutional defendants. We handle cases on contingency to ensure access to justice for injured patients.
DWI/DUI Defense
We defend against DWI/DUI charges by challenging field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and traffic stop validity. Our practice secures hardship driving permits, negotiates reduced charges, and litigates suppression motions. We prioritize minimizing license suspensions and employment impacts while maintaining aggressive courtroom representation when needed.
