I first consulted with Elina in 2005 for a personal injury claim and found her to be honest and informative. She handled my case with expertise with we came to a favorable outcome. I have since used Elina for a variety of legalities for my business and her expert direction is something I have come to depend on.
It's hard to find an attorney these days who is both sharp and caring. You will find that with Elina's firm. She communicates billing and procedure every step of the way so there are no surprises and she is extremely fair.

My attorney has assisted me on many legal issues including:
Contract negotiations; civil lawsuits both as plaintiff and as defendant; and post divorce resolution matters. She has always been the ultimate professional. She has excellent knowledge and interpersonal skills. Her negotiations skills are superlative. This is why she has been my attorney since 2014. I can always count on her older sound legal advice.

In the early stages of Joseph D’Agostino’s law career, around 1992-1993, shortly prior to my mother’s passing away, I hired Mr. D’Agostino, to represent my mother in an inheritance case, whereby he effectively and precisely interpreted the deed, which rightfully disclosed a 25% ownership transfer. Mr. D’Agostino and I were work colleagues, during his law school days, and it quickly became evident to me, that he had a remarkably sharp mind,exceptional leadership qualities,supremely confident but humble,aggressive and pro-active, with tons of compassion.This review admittedly is biased based on my history with Mr. D’Agostino. I always admired him as a big brother and would proudly retain him as my lawyer if needed.His impeccable character coupled with his experience will serve as a winning combination on your behalf!

As a local Staten Island dentist, it is difficult to find counsel who can be both responsive and knowledgeable about medical/dental procedures. Frank, and the Amabile and Erman team, communicated with me in a friendly manner and he was able to ease my nerves relating to a Small Claims and Supreme Court case.

A year or so ago I was in a motorcycle accident. When I engaged Mr White, he was extremely respectful and genuinely interested in ensuring my case was carried through to the best of his abilities (of which he proved to be extremely capable).
Having never been through something like this, he thoroughly explained how things worked, what I should expect, and what our goals were. Over the duration he made it a point to keep me informed. Even when there were no material changes, he would reach out to touch base.
He showed me he was personally invested in our case, and I’m happy to say, was able to get a settlement in my favor that I didn’t see coming.
Point blank - I am extremely satisfied with the performance of Mr White. While I hope never to need his services again, it is very comforting to know there is someone out there that I can trust to represent my family and my best interests.

While divorcing it was a difficult time, scary even, due to the fact my ex was NYPD and had pulled his side arm out on me. Mr. file and his staff were very supportive and helpful throughout the whole process. He has stood up for me when I felt unable.

Mr. File was an extremely tough advocate for me throughout my divorce and his persistence paid off for me in the long run. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is up against an unreasonable and devious spouse.

I retained Mr. File to represent me in my divorce. At that time I had been married for over 30 years and was going through a very difficult period in my life. My husband had abandoned me and I felt I was going to be left with nothing. When I first consulted with Mr. File, he reassured me put my mind at ease. I left his office feeling confident that I was in good hands. He fought diligently to get me what I deserved and was rightfully entitled to - believe me it wasn't easy - my ex-husband wanted to leave me high and dry. I am grateful to Mr. File for giving me the courage to keep fighting for what I deserved, even when I wanted to just give in. I would recommend him highly.

Joe, is extremely knowledgeable on dental procedures. I was a plaintiff in a large dental malpractice suit and the defendants attorney was frequently frustrated by Joe's ability to rebut legal and standard of care arguments on the spot. To say Joe is passionate is an understatement. Btw opposing council was a top 100 law firm in the country.

I cannot recommend Jon Ryan D’Agostino and his team enough! I experienced a traumatic accident where I tore ligaments and nerves in my right hand due to a local establishment's negligence. As a right-handed film and video editor based in NYC, this injury was devastating—not only to my career but also to my livelihood. I faced months of lost wages and the heartbreaking uncertainty of whether I’d be able to edit again.
To make matters even more stressful, I’m a single parent with a teenage daughter who’s preparing for college. The stakes couldn’t have been higher.
Thanks to Jon Ryan D’Agostino’s exceptional legal expertise, we won the case. His dedication, professionalism, and understanding of my situation gave me hope during a very dark time. I’m thrilled to share that I’m back to editing again and can now focus on the future with confidence.
Choosing D’Agostino and Associates was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled attorney, look no further. Thank you, Jon Ryan and the entire team, for your incredible support and guidance!

Just wish i could write a good review.
All I will say is, make sure you do your research BEFORE just hiring them for SSDI. Make sure to have a 1st conversation with the lawyer once they agree you have a case. I would then advise having the same conversation with another team before hiring DagLaw. They don’t “bite” back very well….having a conversation with your lawyer a day before the call with the ALJ isn’t helpful to prep you for your case…good luck….

I understand that a attorney is busy but you still would like some contact from the man representing you. In this case it was hard for me to get any feed back from the man and I wound up finding a different layer. Complete waste of time.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.

- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
