My husband and I recently worked with attorney Pat Micek. She guided us through a potentially stressful process—setting up a trust and completing wills and advanced health directives. Pat and her staff were calm, patient and professional. Pat listened, advised and took time to ensure that we understood the process.
She was knowledgeable and responsive, answering our questions and providing up-to-date guidance. We found her honest, efficient and reasonable. She is accessible and never too busy to answer questions. We recommend her without reservation.

Attorney Steven Campanaro handled a a very complex legal dispute between me and my former business partner. He made himself easily available to answer all my questions and he addressed and explained to me thoroughly all my legal concerns. He put me at ease throughout my whole lengthy legal ordeal, he walked side by side with me every step of the way and I always felt his strong support. He was always transparent In the possible outcomes of the decisions he was helping me make.
In addition Mr. Campanaro showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout my case and this helped me a great deal to get through this most difficult legal situation in my life.
Steven thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case from both sides and prepared an exceptional strategy that ultimately led to my victory in a satisfactorily out-of-court settlement which helped me to avoid costly potential court fees. His preparation was remarkable and his candor was well received by me. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs or concerns.

I have worked with this office for a few traffic violations now and everytime I have been nothing but pleased with the service. The response time is quick and every violation I have gotten was able to be deducted to 0 points. I know that no matter what I can turn to this attorney for help! I would recommend Anthony Sharnov’s office to anyone I know and will continue to use them if needed.

I recently found myself facing a DUI charge and was feeling completely lost. John Loturco was recommended to me, and I'm so grateful for that referral. From our very first meeting, he put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, advised me on the best course of action, and was always willing tomake time to answer my questions and address my concerns. John worked on my case thoroughly and negotiated fair terms for my trial. He made sure I understood every step of the process and what to expect. I highly recommend John Loturco to anyone needing legal representation. He's a skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients

I hired Mr. Loturco when I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor assault earlier this year. I had gotten into a fight at a hockey game with a man and he had decided to press chargers. He sustained injuries and I was facing 3 years probation along with payment of medical bills. Mr. Loturco assured me he would do everything he could to pursue the best possible outcome. After multiple court dates and a long trial, he got me the best possible outcome. I was found not guilty.
Mr. LoTurco’s incredible hard work and dedication to his craft made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He updated me frequently on the status of my case and always kept me in the loop. He is extremely compassionate and genuinely cares about his clients.
I am extremely happy with everything that Mr. LoTurco did for me and am so glad I chose him as my lawyer to get me through this difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. LoTurco to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I found myself in the most difficult situation of my life, and John came to my rescue. He was direct, honest, supportive, and incredibly competent. He shared with me exactly how the process would go, and he was correct at every step. He was a calming influence despite the difficult situation I hadput myself in.
John got the best possible outcome for me from a legal perspective, and he did so with incredible empathy and compassion.
I will never forgot the first time I met John. He told me that as dark as things looked, it might be the best possible thing to happen to me for my life going forward. He was correct.

My experience with Shapiro Legal Group PLLC WAS GREAT. 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

Really 4.5 stars. Through 4 years (all while I was overseas) of estate discovery, filings, depositions, delays and litigation, I am very appreciative that I had Regina (and her firm) as my advocates through a very stressful and frustrating process. I think Regina knows the law backwards and forwards, is very personable and I always appreciated her steadfast manner, experience & beliefs about how the system really works. We locked horns occasionally as I can be idealistic while she probably saved me a couple of more years of litigation and a good chunk of money.

We worked with this form on 2 separate cases, both with its own complications and nuances. Everything was accurate and timely and well communicated.

William Mattar accepted my difficult case after
other law firms refused it, due to me being an
"eggshell client." From start to finish, Megan
always provided value added service by
responding to my questions and/or concerns
expeditiously; by the close of business or within 24 hours.
As I conclude, I would like to thank William Matter, Megan, and their team of consummate, dedicated and engaged professionals. You all are truly AWESOME.
Remember, It is not the final settlement that
matters, as it is the amount of professionalism that is priceless!
Don't hesitate, call 444-4444. You will not regret it!

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Kohan for approximately the past 7 years. We initially met as panelists at the Nassau County Bar Association. I was immediately impressed by Michael's professionalism and his knowledge of the law. From that day on, Michael became my go-to attorney for litigation matters. During this time, Michael and his team have been a great resource to my firm and our clients. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of the Kohan Law Group.

I was hit by a car and sustained an injury , and after the involved insurance company tried to make everything go away with an extreme lowball offer, I thankfully contacted Steve Gokberk at Kohan Law Group who had been referred to me by a longtime friend . Steve was unbelievably thorough , explaining everything to me in detail and what to expect during the litigation . He set realistic time frames for the progression of the case , and options and outcome expectations that really helped me come to a settlement decision . His paralegal team was also great , making a tough time a lot easier . My experience and outcome were both exceptional and would recommend Steve and Kohan Law highly.

You cannot say nothing bad about Bataresh Pammer. When I meet with George Pammer for the first time. He made me feel comfortable with the stress I was going through. I also received addition support from his team of partner Claudia Bataresh and his Para Legal Michelle Vincent. It made a world of difference to me. I later learned from my niece that George was rated Super Lawyers NY Metro Rising Stars for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and most likely 2025 which I did not know. She was worried about me as to who will represent me fairly during this stressful time. Now I fully understand why he is the mark of excellence. You might pay a little more than most divorce attorneys do but in the end, you know where that extra went. Protecting your interest and assets. Very happy I made the right choice.

Amazing! I never remember when I am supposed to be registering CLEs and as I am barred in two jurisdictions, every year without fail, I lose count. But my CLE manager Jack W. is worth his weight in pure silk, gold, milk and honey. Every year he timely reminds me for whichever state is due PLUS he pre-sets me up with courses that are relevant for my field of practice. I cannot speak more highly of him and this company. If all of the managers are like Jack, then you shall NEVER falter again. Whatever I am paying for the course, doubles in its ROI based on the peace of mind I feel knowing that I will not fall behind and be delinquent in my dual state bar licenses. Thank you United CLE and thank you Jack W.!

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.
