We Work Personally With Each and Every Client

Our law firm works personally with each of our clients.  Our case results prove this professional and exclusive attention.  We have completed several successful cases and have been trendsetters in shaping maritime, construction & personal injury law.

To our construction worker clients, we are extremely proud to announce that the New York Court of Appeals, in Cammon v. City of New York, has agreed that New York's Labor Laws, in their entirety, apply to all construction workers, including dockbuilders working on the water. This is a watershed opinion which reverses more than 20 years of bad decisional law. Contact us for more information, particularly if you are an injured dockbuilder who thought you could not make a claim under the New York Labor Laws.
