Skillful attorneys advise on medical coverage and litigation concerns

Across Long Island and throughout the New York City area, our firm handles matters in various legal practice areas, including:

• Clergy Abuse — If you are or were a victim of sexual abuse by a bishop, priest or deacon associated with the diocese, your window to pursue a claim is limited.
• Personal injury — We pursue full compensation for personal injury victims in cases relating to accidents, defective products and other instances of negligence.
• Healthcare — If you are a healthcare professional we can help you in matters regarding regulatory and disciplinary inquiries.
• Wrongful death — After a wrongful death caused by someone besides the victim, we work on behalf of estate representatives to seek damages for funeral expenses, income the decedent would have earned, and other items available under New York law.
• Slip and fall accidents — When property owners fail to take reasonable care to prevent slip and fall accidents, we litigate premises liability actions to recover payment for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering.

For these legal concerns and others, you can rely on us to develop an effective strategy that gives you the best chance at a successful outcome.
