Michael worked as a criminal defense attorney for me for the past 5 and a half months. He picked up my case in early August of last year, and I honestly have never felt so comfortable hiring someone. From the initial consultation, it was clear that he understood exactly what took place with my arrest and he knew the exact steps we needed to take in order to resolve the situation. We ended up achieving and ACOD/Dismissal of the criminal charge. Throughout the process, I witnessed him interact and adjust his communication style depending on the personalities he was dealing with, and he was very effective in winning people over and helping them understand our position on the actual events that took place. This man is smart, charismatic, practical in his application of the law, and wholly committed to helping his clients achieve the desired outcome in their case. Thank you, Michael Jannuzzi, for a stellar job done!

I'm not the best writer but let me give a try to describe the experience with Mr. Michael Jannuzzi as this website asks.
When I needed someone to defend me Michael took it upon himself to travel and personally vouch for me with the judge...who claimed to "know me" better than Michael did despite our years acquainted. I mean, the judge was clearly angry with me and Michael said "But your honor...I know this guy he is ok!" something like that...
How did we get to that point?
I think the first time we worked with Michael Januzzi was for our house closing several years prior where he clearly showed the sellers and bank representatives that we were well represented.
Next was for things that perhaps I am not proud to admit but Michael Jannuzzi will indeed defend you to the best of his ability, not only to the point that you "paid for" or try to make an easy deal with the district attorney or judge. He is NOT the type (and I'm sure we have all met the type) to say "send the money then we will talk" I believe that Michael looks for the good in people and feels that anyone can change, even if they are in some trouble in life. This is one of the things that helped me get out of the rut I was in and turn my life around.
I cannot tell you how good it feels...the relief you get when sitting in a jail cell, powerless to defend yourself then Michael shows up to let you know with straight talk what is going on, what the judge thinks and that he is there not only fighting but advocating for you.
I went from having a decent life and home to being down and out. Without Michael and others I may never have made it back to a normal life.
I got into serious trouble for not showing up to court nearly 2 years and was hauled in on a bench warrant. The charges were serious too. I already owed Michael so I did not call him or mention him. When I met the judge I was alone. I told the judge I needed public defender. She saw my record and that Michael Jannuzzi was my lawyer previously and asked why ("Michael" she called him) was not there to represent me. I told her that I did not want to bother him...She said well, "you are going to need him and I want to find out what your deal is so I will call Michael him in here myself." Sure enough the cavalry arrived and I nearly cried when I saw Mike.
All the while Michael never asked me for a dime or even made me feel uncomfortable about not being able to pay him while spending hours or complete days of his time on my problems. Always took my calls, always did his absolute best despite the fact that I even deserved to be punished.
Mike explained to me that the judge was determined to let me spend some time behind bars and that I should just accept that but he will make sure he does everything on his part to follow me along and didn't leave me feeling like I was alone. I think he had to go to court at least 3 times for this and Michael showed up and worked for my best interests each time.
I have tried a few other lawyers because I live outside NY now and had terrible experiences. If you read that someone was ripped off by a lawyer then it is likely true.
You will have a hard time finding a lawyer or a man who who you can trust like Michael Jannuzzi.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Michael as one of the best lawyers available to represent in whatever legal entity you require. If he says he can do it...let him do it.

Mr. Goldstein represented me with respect to allegations of zoning violations and disputed claims of land ownership with respect to waterfront property. Resolution of the matter required research into very old land records and marshaling of testimony with respect to the age and use of structures erected prior to enactment of land and waterfront building codes. I was impressed by his knowledge of the law and his ability to focus on the critical issues. His representation of me before the zoning board was first-rate, as were his efforts on my behalf during the lengthy and difficult negotiations that followed the hearing. The final result was exceptional. He is an excellent lawyer.

Mr. Goldstein recently represented my son and did a terrific job. He always kept us in the loop and if he couldn't immediately speak with you on the phone, he would return our call very quickly, always the same day, often within the hour. He spoke to us clearly in words we could all understand. His dedication to serving our son's needs was unmatched. I would highly recommend Mr. Goldstein if you are searching for a great attorney.

As someone who has never been in trouble with the law, I was extremely frightened after having been arrested and had no idea where to turn or what I was in store for. Andrew Karpf put me at ease right away. He was very clear to me about what I should expect and about how he could help my situation. He was always quick to respond to my calls and texts. I never felt alone through the entire process. In the end, everything turned out as he had originally explained to me. I would highly recommend this law firm to all of my family and friends should they ever need legal assistance.

Great Expert! Pleasant to deal with! I believe the difference is between good attorney and superb attorney lays in a few traits: ability to give not only advice but to guide you through all the steps and see it from different perspectives . Also, she really cares about her client not only about her case. Josephine Lupis has unstoppable desire to win her cases. Dealing with her for number of years on different instances proved that she is the one that you want to be represented by.

I was in a lot of pain from an injury I suffered in a car accident last year. My original lawyer could care less - did not care about my prognosis, rarely returned my calls, and put my case on the back burner while he chased other larger cases. I literally just felt like a file thrown on his desk. Max came highly recommended and when I contacted him (at my wits end) he immediately made me feel at ease. From the moment he took over my case, I felt I could relax because I was in good hands. This was a lawyer who was not only highly interested in the history and extent of my injury, but wanted to ensure I was seeing the right doctors and getting the proper treatment. Due to my soft tissue injury, this was not a cut and dry case and I knew what I was up against in trying to win a settlement for the pain I suffered from my shoulder injury. I felt secure this lawyer would put my personal best interest first - I didn't doubt his motivations for a minute. He's also extremely sharp and highly intelligent. From the minute you meet Max, you get that impression that he is a man in control.
Once he took over, he immediately had the ball rolling and kept me abreast of updates and whereabouts in my case. If you want a lawyer who is not only caring, but extremely detail oriented and will work hard for you to see your case through - Maximillian is your guy.
I am extremely please with the settlement he was able to procure. His professionalism and dedication to me over these last 6 months, will make him my go-to lawyer for years to come. He comes highly recommended!

Edmund Smyth kept me in the loop the entire time as to what was going on with my case. He promptly returned my phone calls and always had an answer for my questions. He really cared about my case and showed it by not treating me like another file in his office.

In September of 2024 I was arrested in NC after living there for 3 years by US Marshals being accused of a shooting that happened in New York in January of the same year. Being ridiculously obvious that I was not the suspect of the case John and his team including his assistant Gina not only poked the largest holes possible through their ridiculous case they obtained all the evidence to prove that I was over 800 miles away when the incident happened. They were very caring and curtious along the way to the point of not being angry at me when I was angry at the state of NY. I would absolutely recommend John Loturco to anybody facing a criminal matter most especially someone who is legitimately innocent, John has and will go far beyond what any other lawyer I have ever met will to win the case for his client.

I have had several occasions where I've had the pleasure of working with Karen Nora over the last 10 years, both professionally and personally. Karen represents the financial institution I work for and both myself and my staff have worked with her on many commercial real estate transactions. A few years ago my mother hired Karen Nora to handle my brother's estate and she was very kind and compassionate throughout the difficult process. Karen also represented me on the sale & purchase of a new home and she and her staff at Smyth Nora made the very stressful process bearable. I would highly recommend Karen Nora.

I used Karen as my representation in a family court matter to gain more visitation with my daughter.

Gary Field is an efficient and competent attorney whom I find is rare in this field. His knowledge, professionalism, and integrity, are key ingredients which makes a great attorney. He has the respect of his colleagues and the administrators in the judicial system.
Gary is extremely understanding and emphatic when it comes to handling complicated divorce and child custody issues. During my legal issue Gary suffered a personal loss in which that did not deter him the following day for appearing in court to ensure my visiting rights was granted. Unfortunately I did not find Gary until the middle of my legal issue which at that point went in the wrong direction very quickly and seemed that I would lose all my rights. Gary was successful in turning the opposition and getting my issue on better terms. I am grateful that I found Gary when I did or my case would have been lost.

I hired this attorney to sue a municipality that contributed to my wife's disability from an accident.
Mr. Adragna filed the wrong paperwork, it was late and as a result my case was dismissed.
I tried to reach him afterwards and he never took my calls because he was too busy on big cases and never cared for my wife's case. I highly recommend to avoid his lawyer.

I am going through a divorce. Joe commits to every case he takes on. Long hours and he actually cares. These are some traits you don't normally see in lawyers. My case is very atypical. He listened and explained that the law is what matters and that is what is going to make the difference in my case. He knows what he is doing and I trust him. This case isn't so much about me, as it is really all about my child and the best interest of that child. He understands that my child will grow up without a real parent figure in his life if I don't have custody. That my ex will truthfully not be there for my child as the child grows. Ultimately that will have a lasting effect on the child and will be detrimental to his future. Joe is fighting to have that child with his parent, the parent that is actually there and will be there for the child. The one who knows and consistently works with the child. What the child likes and dislikes, how the child communicates, and when the child is trying to communicate because that parent is actually paying attention. A parent who will also make the decisions that will positively shape the child's life and create a much more stable atmosphere to grow up in.

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.
