Our disabled daughter was injured when a speeding car lost control, crossed lanes, hit the taxi she was in and caused it to roll. The problems and confusion this caused in a "no fault" state (where the passenger's auto insurance (none) is to cover their injuries) seemed insurmountable. This firm not only handled all this chaos smoothly but was able to obtain an unexpectedly
large settlement for her.
In conclusion, I am so glad we were told to go to them and if, God forbid, we would need such a firm again, I would definitely use them.

I met Tony 29yrs ago when my husband was injured in an accident. We contacted him and he was so helpful with the case. He always looked out for our best interest and gave excellent advice.
Since that time, many years ago, Tony has remained my attorney and has assisted me, my family, and many friends because I ALWAYS tell people "This is the attorney you want!"
He assisted me a few years ago with my own injury case and was, again, excellent.
I consider Mr. Caivano to be not only an excellent attorney but a trusted friend!

Anthony Caivano represented me in a case; he worked diligently and professionally, keeping me informed every step of the way. He offered thoughtful advice, and was clearly the voice of experience. He and his office never missed a beat each time paperwork or information was required. The outcome was exactly what I'd hoped for. Mr. Caivano truly inspires confidence. I recommend him extremely highly.

Mr. Caivano represented our family in a matter which caused us a great deal of anxiety and fear, and had financial impact on our lives. He handled our matter expertly, helping us to deal with all aspects of the situation, and guiding us to what was undoubtedly the best possible outcome. His ability to explain all the alternatives and assist us in making an informed choice, combined with his superior intellect, superlative knowledge of the law, and genuine regard for us as his clients, turned what had been a nightmare for us into a very positive result. I am certain that, had we not been represented by Mr. Caivano, we would never have achieved the result we did, and our family would have suffered further financially and in other ways. Gaining Mr. Caivano's representation was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We hope that taking the time to post this review will help others to find their way to this excellent attorney. We hope never to have such a matter to deal with again, but should it happen, the only lawyer we'll be calling is Mr. Caivano.

If you are looking for an attorney that possess strength, knowledge, perseverance and personal commitment, then you need Mr. Musmanno and his staff!
I have had the privilege of being Mr. Musmanno's client on several occasions. In retrospect, he's been the only attorney I've ever consulted with since my early 20's. He is who, I consider my attorney. He has been the attorney, that has always made me feel comfortable, even when faced with a very difficult, emotional situation. Words cannot express the type of professionalism that Mr. Musmanno and his staff have given us in our time of need.
Not only does he deeply care about his cases, he cared about me as a person.
I'll also have you know that Mr. Musmanno commuted a great distance from his main office to do my closing on my house. My husband and I will be forever grateful for him going out and beyond for us.
I would never hesitate to recommend Mr. Musmanno and his team, for anybody looking for a high quality legal firm that also has a very personal touch in the making. Thanks again for all your hard work...

Have you ever been hurt? The kind of hurt where you can't walk or care for your family properly?... Well I have. And let me tell you it is scary. And it's even more scary when the reason you were hurt is because someone was negligent. What do you do? Knowing life would never be the same... lingering pain, physical limitations... and what's worse is that it could happen to someone else at any moment. That's how I felt. I walked in to Mr. Musmanno's office not knowing what to expect. I had never met with an attorney for anything and I was scared. By the end of that first meeting I knew everything would be ok. Chris (as he told me to call him instead of Mr. Musmanno) explained everything in plain language. He walked me through all the steps of the legal process. And he succeeded in giving my family something we never had... enough money to start over, physical limitations and all. Nothing will change my scars. But I don't look at them the same anymore. And I have Chris to thank for that.

My wife and I were first introduced to Gary Meyers almost 8 years ago by several friends Mr. Meyers had previously represented in a number of lawsuits involving successful litigation. In 2008, Mr. Meyers represented us in a rather involved contractual matter that continued for almost 5 years. Responding to endless motions, Mr. Meyers ultimately obtained a jury verdict in the amount of $2.7 million verdict. He also prevailed in an appeal of that verdict, and was steadfast and relentless in his pursuit of justice until our case was finally settled on a confidential basis. Mr. Meyers’ representation on our behalf was truly a legal version of David versus a corporate Goliath. He never wavered in his sense of fairness and right. Since then we have referred many friends and business colleagues and will happily continue to do so.

I wanted to take a moment to express how beyond pleased I am with Attorney Ira Cohen and his practice. I am not sure if you are familiar with how many hours actually go into closing a house, and how many particulars are involved. He and his Assistant Susan made this closing like champions.
They went above and beyond and payed attention to my concerns, calmed my worries, and eased my stress level. This process can feel like an eternity, yet it was closed in an expedition manor.
Susan is an amazing support and was always there to answer any questions that I had. I highly recommend using Attorney Ira Cohen his services will get you the results you are looking for !

I want to share my experience, but I have language barrier. I had an accident. While I was delivering, someone hit my car. It was a surprise. I didn’t see too big damage to my car, so I thought everything was fine.
But I still decided to go get treatment for my injuries. I went to therapy for a few months. It was a hard time for me, but I knew I needed to take care of myself. During this time, Mr. Shlionsky helped me a lot. He always took my calls, even on weekends, to make sure I didn’t have any stress. He worked very hard for me.
I feel so humbled and grateful for everything he did. Thanks to him, I was able to get a good compensation. This support really means a lot to me. I want to say a big thank you to Mr. Shliosnky. I am very thankful for all he has done for me. His help changed my life in a big way. Thank you, Mr. Shlionsky!

I highly recommend Attorney Gerald Kelly. He helped me with a municipal violation as a public defender. He was always kind and knowledgeable. He patiently answered all my many questions without being judgemental. He was a pleasure to work with and the eventual outcome was that the charges were dismissed

Thank you, DENNIS SHLIONSKY and DANIELLE! This is the second time Dennis represented me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Right when we were about to settle my first case, I got into another minor accident that made my neck pain even worse. The insurance company tried to brush it off as a simple fender bender, but Dennis didn’t let them get away with it. Even though I had surgery after the first accident and the MRI showed my herniation had shrunk, Dennis fought tooth and nail to make sure I got every dollar I deserved.
Dennis isn’t just an incredible lawyer, he’s a genuinely good person. He listens, cares, and follows through on everything he promises. There were times I needed to reach him on weekends or late at night, and he always picked up the phone, no questions asked. He made sure my medical bills were taken care of and never let the insurance company push me around. Dennis truly saved the day and got me all the money I was owed. If you need a lawyer who’s relentless and also has your back, Dennis is the one. He’s hands-down the best.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
