Jay Dankner. You did it Jay!
You saved our case. You gave us a future.
I don't know if I properly thanked you after the jury verdict came in 100% for us.
I was kind of stunned. In shock really.
But I guess I shouldn't have been. I mean, you told us it would be OK. That we would be OK. But you were the only one who said that.
The only one who believed we could win.
When every other lawyer said our case was too difficult, you said not to worry.
When not just the opposition, but the insurance companies, the hospitals, even the court system, all seemed to be against us, you were there.
Calming. Caring. Always kind, always available. Answering every question we had. Addressing all our concerns.
And so ridiculously knowledgeable in EVERY aspect of the law that we knew we would be OK.
That we would win, even when everyone else said it couldn't be done.
And you didn't just win for us Jay. You crushed it!
You guided us through 5 years of legal quicksand after my husbands accident. You turned one of the worst times of our lives completely around.
You saved us.
You gave us a future.
And we are forever grateful.
Forever thankful.
You're 1 of a kind...and simply the best!

I had the pleasure of having Dan Smyth work on my personal injury case. His intensive knowledge on the laws as well as the ins and outs of insurance was insightful. He was very compassionate and responded to every single question with perfect clarity. He stays in communication so that you know what is going on and will fight for you. You’re not just a case here. You’re a person and they treat you like it.

Mr.Elbaum , and Ms.Nelly were pleasant and genuine during initial consult.
I was informed and advised on all decisions and options that I would make. I was contacted on a regular basis informing me on the progress of the case. Did not feel any pressure to make any decisions until I felt Mr.Elbaum did all he can to achieve the maximum monetary compensation for my case.

My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best.
When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived.
Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

First starter he is very easy to work with! I never worried about my case. He makes you understand every single detail.

So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

Honestly, you can't and won't find better attorney than Jordan Merson. He, alongside his team, made one of the most horrific experiences a much easier process to live through. At our first meeting, I felt immediate relief due to the confidence that he displayed. His analytical ability and years of experience enable him to provide thoughtful, and most importantly, practical legal advice that is easy to understand. I am so happy with the outcome of my case, It was way more than I envisioned and it's all thanks to him and his team. I highly commend his firm and I am forever grateful for having him on my side.

I can't possibly say enough good things about my experience with this law firm. It's difficult to imagine going through this trial without Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek and in particular, Jeff Korek. Articulate, intelligent, kind, and direct were my first impressions of him and until I saw him in the courtroom, I had no idea that these qualities would make him unstoppable at trial.
In a lawsuit that spanned almost 7 years, I put myself in his hands and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Difficult at times but Jeff and his team were sensitive to those difficulties and made me understand that they would help and protect me during the process. I came to trust them implicitly. Jeff and his team not only secured my ability to pay for future medical treatments and chemotherapy, but he made sure that my children's future was secure. At Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek, they fight for you like you're family and treat you as such. Thank you, Jeff, for fighting for my future and helping me stay in the fight with you! I hope this day never comes but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for your help again.

My injury was due to a bus accident which meant I was going up against the powerful MTA and the NYTA. One of my doctors recommended Adam Cahn because my case was going to be complicated due to the fact I had pre-existing conditions and the other side was going to surely use this information to disprove the severity of my new injuries. She knew Adam had a great reputation in winning difficult cases. I'm so happy I went with her suggestion. From the very beginning Adam and the entire team at Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss made me feel like my case was very important them, like I was a part of their family and we were going to win. They arranged additional medical reviews, kept me informed of the other side's actions, made clear to me which laws gave them the confidence that we were going to win. Adam used his vast medical contacts and the firm's assets to build my case. He was honest from the very start that because of my pre-existing conditions it was going to be a long process, so the firm helped me make some sound financial decisions a long the way to keep my family afloat. Of course he won a large settlement for me and my family, and his post-settlement suggestions (which financial firms to look at to invest the bulk of the settlement) were an added bonus. Along the way Adam became my friend. I continue to go to him for legal advise on other matters, and his referrals have been equally assessable and competent. If you have a serious injury, or if you're not sure about how serious your injury is and whether you have a case stop thinking about it and go to Adam Cahn.

Adam Cahn was a very attentive lawyer who never hesitated to share his expertise with me or my family as he worked on my case. He continuously kept me informed and always provided clear explanations to the steps throughout the legal process. I was very satisfied with the amount of my settlement and have recommended Mr. Cahn and his firm to friends, who were very appreciative of his services as well. I know he's been continuously ranked a NY Super Lawyer -- now I know why!

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.

I was referred to Hill & Moin by a highly satisfied client. Even though they were not located in my state, I gave them a call. And, they took the time to listen to my case and decided it was worthy to pass on to attorneys near me.
I had the toughest time in finding attorneys in my own state as many are apparently afraid of fighting for me because of the influence of the company that injured me. Hill & Moin is a credit to their community and their profession!

After my 5-year-old son sustained a head injury at school due to negligence, I turned to Mr. Scott Gilman for help. The incident not only terrified me but also caused my son significant trauma. As a mother, all I want is for my child to be safe, and schools have a responsibility to ensure that safety. Mr. Scott Gilman advocated tirelessly for my son’s right to justice, even when my case was initially dismissed by many. He was thorough, dedicated, and kept me informed every step of the way. Such commitment and compassion are rare, and his hard work ultimately led to a successful outcome. I am deeply grateful to have found someone so passionate about fighting for my child’s well-being. Mr. Scott Gilman is someone I trust completely and would recommend without hesitation.

As a former member of the New Rochelle City Council I have worked with many attorneys. Stephen Donaldson is above and beyond the best!! He is grace and class under pressure which is so rare these days. Stephen helped with my recent sale of my home. He was outstanding and so helpful in the plethora of advice and information that can too often seem overwhelming to process. Stephen efficiently and calmly guides and supports you every step of the way. If you were to call central casting and ask for the perfect attorney to help you, Stephen would be it.

While his practice may have shifted to a different type of Law, there isn’t anyone else I’d call first for advice, guidance and legal help. I’d want him in my corner any day of the week.

I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
