“I can’t say enough positive things about the Oshman Mirisola law firm. From the moment I reached out, they were incredibly responsive, always there to address any questions or concerns promptly. What truly sets them apart is how they treat you like family, going above and beyond to ensure you feel supported and understood throughout the legal process. Their dedication and commitment to their clients are evident in every interaction, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise and care.”

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to lead me through my lawsuit for my TBI. Charles was thorough and professional, but most of all he cared. I wasn't just another client. He wanted to make sure my family and I were ok every step of the way. While difficult to hear, he never over-promised and always helped me analyze best next steps while guiding me through the maze, difficulties and inevitable time delays of a lawsuit. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I am a professional musician and it was brought to my attention by a family member that someone was using an image that was copyrighted by the LLC that my band has established. We promptly contacted Mr. Thompson in regards to this matter. He acted swiftly and decisively and remedied the situation to our mutual satisfaction. The image in question was removed from the webstore that hosted the copyrighted picture and the perpetrators were cautioned to act more appropriately in the future. In the years since Mr. Thompson has proved himself to be a most trusted source of legal advice and expertise and has proven indispensable in the running of my small business.

This is the second time I used this law firm. They are fantastic! They represented me during the sale of my house. My attorney, Hiba Touma, and her team were very attentive, professional and answered all of questions immediately. Even when things got stressful for me (because I was selling and buying at the same time), they calmed me down and took care of everything. I can’t thank them enough for making this process effortless! I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for an attorney that is knowledgeable and will also treat you as a priority!

I have practiced law at large law firms for more than three decades and have also started, invested in and run several businesses. Over that period, I have worked with and/or hired literally thousands of lawyers, many of whom were recognized global leaders in their areas of expertise. I would rank Richard Gilbert in the very top tier of those lawyers. He has always been a thoughtful, thorough, tough, practical, and result oriented advocate-advisor to me. He understands the New York court system at the trial level in a way that few lawyers do. He is ethical, principled and trustworthy. I have worked with him on a range of matters and will always make him my first call in his areas of expertise, particularly personal injury trial work (for which he has few peers).

This man is the most professional and competent attorney I have met knowing him over 20yrs as a client for all and many situations that have occurred in my life. There is only one reference here for type of case but he has handled many different types for me, from child custody, criminal and many more. He has helped me, protected me and I may be bias although we are not related but would not consider him anything less then a family member.

It’s so rare to actually work with an attorney, who takes the time to fully explain all the issues - that’s been so great about Steve Statharos. He was always available to take my calls, answer my emails and my questions thoroughly. I particularly liked that we were able to have conversations regarding my legal strategy; that level of involvement made me at the end of the day feel more comfortable and secure.

Mr. Statharos has done a great job handling the legal work for our
taxi fleet. His fees are reasonable and he is much more attentive to
our needs than any attorneys we have worked with before. This is very important in our business where we have alot of time pressure and look to minimize any waste of our time. Chasing lawyers for an inquiry was always a big problem for us in the past. Even if we are not able to reach him when we call, he always calls back quickly or sends us an email to find out what we need and to set up a time to talk with us. We would not hesitate to reccomend him to anyone who is looking to use him for any of the services that he and his office provides.

Mr. Frankel headed my team of lawyers in a very complex wrongful firing dispute. The case lasted several years through hearings, appeals and remand, and involved many issues of contract interpretation, defamation and corporate law, Mr. Frankel never lost sight of the ultimate goal and kept his staff and the other attorneys working on our team focused and on task. He developed the overall big picture strategy of how to win the case while keeping his attention focused on the details, as well. A truly superior lawyer who I would recommend anytime!

I had a bad slip and fall incident when pregnant that was clearly a result of property negligence in a public place, and resulted in injury and a scary time. Bradley clearly explained the legal liability in this case, and was extremely effective and professional in obtaining very fair compensation for our situation. He is outstanding at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone, anytime.

Mr. DiMartini and his Law Firm have shown Care and Compassion not only upon our initial meeting but throughout my ordeal. With a sea of Attorneys in NYC and the negative things said about them an individual is skeptical and cautious in dealing with them. I can assure you my mind was put to rest and my apprehensions disappeared as I got to know My Attorney. Mr. DiMartini is a Professional in his field of Law, Extremely Competent, Knowledgeable and Cares about his Client's Well Being. So from my experience of being one of his previous clients I would give him more than five stars and highly recommend him to anyone who needed legal help for a wrongful injury.

Rick is a friendly and professional lawyer. He represented me in an automobile accident. I never had to worry about the case in Rick's hand. I was always updated with new information about my case and I've had all my questions answered, even when I texted at 8PM for clarifications. Speaking with him felt like I was speaking to a friend; he always greeted me with a huge smile and spoke to me like I was his friend. This ultimately made me feel comfortable talking about my injuries with someone I didn’t know at first. And I never hesitated with asking him any questions because he always answered them right away. It felt natural to speak about the case because he truly cared about my well-being and went above and beyond for me. His communication skills and work ethics always put my mind at ease; he made it so that the entire process was painless. I didn’t need to worry about any part of it because he bestowed upon me a sense of confidence that I didn’t know I had. Everything that he said and did was to guarantee the best results. And it did. These are reasons why I trust his judgement & guidance. I am a grateful and content client.

From the moment I became a client of Nussin S. Fogel I felt as if I had a personal attorney 24/7 at my convenience.

In every step of the legal process regarding my case-automobile negligence-Mr. Fogel availed himself and applied his legal expertise and experience on my behalf. Further, his legal assistant, Stephanie, reflected Mr. Fogel's attributes of genuine empathy and professionalism. Fortunate are the clients, both personally and legally of Nussin S. Fogel and his law practice.

Michael Ronemus is everything you would want to find in an attorney. patient, knowlegeable, detailed, and caring. Mr. Ronemus represented me in a legal malpractice against my former personal injury attorney who mishandled a class action, product defect action. Mr. Ronemus, through appeals brought this action to a successful conclusion. I felt so comfortable with Mr. Ronemus that he even handled a trademark infringement action for my family and myself even though he did not specialize in such. This action was also brought to a successful conclusion.
I would be highly recommend Mr. Ronemus.

From the beginning I was glad that I came to Charlie and his team for my personal injury case. They really took to time to listen to what happened to me and were truly empathetic of what I went through. I also felt like they were really on top of my case and always worked on collecting documents with plenty of time to spare so I never had to rush to meet any deadline which I really appreciate. They guided me throughout this process and we’re good about letting me know what I could expect moving forward. I was always prepped before any important appearance and the team occasionally emails, calls or texts to maintain updated on my condition (easy to reach if I had any questions or concerns and great communication in general). My case is currently still pending but I am confident that Charles Mirisola and his team are going to do their best to get me the compensation that I deserve. I highly recommend this attorney.

Andrew is the consummate professional. We came to hire him at a very difficult time in our lives as we so often do when an attorney such as Andrew is required. It became abundantly clear at the start that he makes you feel as though you’re his only client while you work together to achieve your desired goal. Andrew's high degree of expertise, his unparalleled desire to achieve the best result possible for his clients and his eloquent manner in conducting business has made my experience with Andrew a pleasure. Not only did the matter we were working on get resolved in our favor, it was done in such a way that we were able to heal without having to navigate such a convoluted and problematic process on our own. I highly recommend anyone to pursue Andrew as their attorney.

I have been driving a small motorbike with handicapped plates and permits around NYC for years. I've learned the hard way how little attention is paid to us two wheeled drivers: I am a two-time client of Raphaelson Levine. Fortunately, I have had Andrew Levine by my side throughout both ordeals. Against difficult odds, Andrew has TWICE done a spectacular job on my behalf. He has remarkable persistence, a vast knowledge of the law and an exceptional compassion for unfortunate, painful situations. Andrew is an utter professional - but he has a great sense of humor as well (and I could not have gotten through all this without it)! Thank you so much Andrew, for all your hard work and your remarkable ability to get us even better results than expected.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
