Mr. Gallivan represented my sisters and I in the wrongful death case of my mother as a result of medical negligence at a major hospital in the Bronx. What I valued most about him was his kindness and compassion, he worked tiresly to obtain the maximum compensation for us and negotiated a medical lien reduction. While our case was complicated and took years to resolve he always kept us informed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gallivan and his firm.

As the parent of an adult child struggling with substance abuse issues, Attorney Litman was successful in getting the charge(s) settled in a manner which will result in my son being able to successfully continue with his recovery and participate as a contributing, successful member of society. I would return to him and his practice with no hesitation. Liz C.

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He represented me for more than 5 years during a very complex and emotionally draining family law case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that made navigating a challenging family law situation much easier. David’s deep understanding of family law, combined with his strategic "no nonsense" approach gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.
He always listened intently to my concerns, was timely in his responses, and thoroughly explained every step. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. David's commitment to my case was evident in the way he advocated fiercely on my behalf, balancing assertiveness with sensitivity to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my daughter. He took an incredible risk by representing me and I could not be more grateful for him. Thanks to his dedication, I felt supported and informed at every turn, which was invaluable during such an emotional time. The resolution he achieved exceeded my expectations. Because he represented me for so long, he was tirelessly invested in seeing it through to the end. I have tremendous respect for his dedication and resilience. If you are looking for a compassionate, firm, knowledgeable, and results-driven family law attorney, David is the one you want by your side.

I would highly recommend the Douglas Family Law Group. I have come to realize that you either have a horrible lawyer or a great one. I feel the best measure is when they are transparent and show that they actually care. I was first represented by a pro-bono lawyer who wouldn't tell the court my ex-partner boyfriend threatened me, that she caused him 38 lates to school and she didn't have him half the time and she moved out of state without telling me or the court. He just kept telling me " you never know what the judge will say so take the settlement". he refused to even put my requests in the settlement if he felt they wouldn't agree. When I retained the Douglas Family Law group it was a different experience. There was constant communication, empathy and acknowledgment for some of the unfairness that I had experienced. Elizabeth spoke up for me in the courtroom and stated many things that needed to be on the record. Elizabeth put in my reasonable and justifiable requests when engaging in the settlement process. Elizabeth many times had to explain to me what the court pays attention to and what path we can take to present that. I have a great disdain for the family court system and it's practices but if you have representation from this law firm they can professionally and honestly represent and defend your interests in this institution. I, thank them for finally giving me a voice in this arena so that my son can truly have what he needs that serves in his best interest.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand.
What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

I have used this firm for real estate deals, on two separate occasions, and they do not disappoint. You can rest assured that your best interests will always be at the forefront of what they do. They are thoughtful, professional and most importantly (to me anyway) very responsive. Don't waste any more time shopping around for good representation. Go ahead and trust your legal needs to LaPietra & Krieger.

Gina DeCrescenzo came highly recommended to us and the reason why became quickly apparent. Gina and her outstanding team are simply the BEST out there.

Thanks to Gina, our son was finally able to receive the education and services he is entitled to after a long and arduous journey. Our family is forever grateful!

Gina DeCrescenzo has all the knowledge and wisdom one would hope and expect from an attorney. Equally important, she also holds space for the emotional roller coaster that all parents go through in this process. Gina made me feel heard, understood and I always felt she truly had my son's (and my) best interest at heart. I cannot express enough gratitude to Gina and Team.

A review about Gina Decrescenzo Where do I start? She is a Master Attorney in Special Education Law. Gina’s Expertise is one of a kind. I will be forever grateful for the work she is doing representing my son. I will never forget the day, I picked up the phone and spoke to her paralegal Charlie. I just had a feeling right then that I was in good hands. When you have a real complex case or even small case she is the one to hire. My son's case is very complex, Gina and the staff have been with me each step of the way. I live on Long Island, so anyone hesitant to call her bc she is in White Plains do not worry about that she will work with Clients here too. With the technology we are always connected with a zoom meeting or a conference call via phone.

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.

I called Lever and Ecker for an initial consultation and had the opportunity to speak with Adam Weiss. In the short discussion Adam provided me with guidance on my potential case and put me in touch right away with someone in his network as this was an out of state case.

I consulted Daniel Ecker regarding a malpractice concern about the dental care I received. Dan thoroughly reviewed the documents I had collected, discussed the case with me, and provided excellent advice. He was incredibly caring, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process.
Dan maintained consistent communication through emails and phone calls, keeping me informed about my case and ensuring I clearly understood every step. He also represented me during negotiations with the opposing side, and his expertise in his specialty areas of law helped me achieve a highly satisfactory outcome.
This case was incredibly stressful, especially since I had never been through anything like it before. I feel deeply grateful to have had Dan’s support during this challenging experience. His thoughtful advice and the time he dedicated to helping me meant more than I can express.
Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional support and dedication!

I searched and searched the internet for a bankruptcy lawyer close to my location and the first one that popped up was James Rufo. I of course wanted to talk with him first and see where his office was located and I was extremely impressed! Words can hardly express how deeply grateful I am for your incredible support and dedication throughout my bankruptcy process. You consistently went above and beyond, demonstrating not just exceptional skill, but a genuine commitment to excellence that set you apart as the best of 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.
