Practice Areas Description

Our areas of practice include:

- Wrongful Death

After an accident is fatal, it is important to begin working with an experienced personal injury lawyer right away. Evidence can disappear after an accident. Perhaps a car is repaired — or sold. Witnesses begin to forget what they saw. A stair railing or elevator is fixed. When you contact our law firm right away, an investigator can get to the scene and preserve the evidence. In the case of a wrongful death, the victim cannot testify and so a case may be based on evidence. It's important to preserve that evidence and preserve the scene. The wrongful death case may hinge on evidence rather than testimony.

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases are complex. They require years of experience and extraordinary legal skill. Our experienced trial lawyers have practiced law in New York for a combined total of 30 years. During that time, they have successfully recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for the victims of medical malpractice and other serious personal injuries.

- Clergy Misconduct

According to Psychology Today, a random survey of over 7,000 active Catholics in the U.S. and Canada found that 1.7 percent of the females and 3.3 percent of the males had been sexually abused in childhood by a priest. In many instances, a male will suppress a sexual assault memory when the abuse occurred at the hands of another male. Please contact our law firm for help with any of the clergy or priest abuse situations described below: Repressed memory; Inappropriate touching; Child pornography; Sexual assault / rape; Forced masturbation; and, Oral sex.

- Police Misconduct

You are stopped on the street and charged with disorderly conduct while doing nothing illegal? You are beaten by police only because you fit a racial profile. Police charge you with a crime and the Judge tosses it out as baseless as soon as you step in front of him. The above incidents are referred to as False Arrest, Excessive Force and Malicious Prosecution. If you believe you were the victim of baseless charges by a police officer, you may find your Constitutional rights have been violated in the process.

- Legal Malpractice

Legal malpractice is a serious matter involving your lawyer breaching his duty, resulting in demonstrable damage to you. Generally, lawyers owe their clients a duty to conduct themselves with the skill, care and diligence of the ordinary qualified practitioner in their field.
