Clear, plain-English answers to the questions injured New Yorkers ask us most. When you’re ready, the consultation is free.
Below are answers to common questions. They are general information, not legal advice — the right answer for your situation depends on its facts, which we’re glad to review at no cost.
We work on a contingency-fee basis for injury and malpractice cases. There is no fee to consult us, and you pay attorney’s fees only if we recover compensation for you.
