Michael H. Joseph | White Plains Personal Injury Lawyer

A lawyer for more than 20 years, Michael H. Joseph can help you with your personal injury, commercial litigation, or criminal defense case. Mr. Joseph's offices in Manhattan and White Plains, NY, offer free consultations so that everyone has access to a lawyer.

Michael H. Joseph grew up in Coop City in the Bronx and then moved to Long Island as a teenager. After law school, Mr. Joseph worked for a prominent personal injury firm in Manhattan while living in Kew Gardens, Queens. He eventually started his own legal practice that serves people throughout New York City and Westchester County.

Mr. Joseph's sense of social justice is built on his family’s New York roots and his experiences in law school in New Orleans.

As the descendent of railway workers who suffered tragic injuries working in the New York railroads, Mr. Joseph knows firsthand the pain and devastation that an injury can cause.

While attending Tulane University Law School, Mr. Joseph participated in the criminal clinic to handle felony cases. During this time, he represented clients throughout New Orleans who could not afford legal representation. This experience revealed how poverty leads to systemic injustice for people with low incomes, and the kind of difference a committed attorney can make for people in these underserved communities.

Michael H. Joseph is dedicated to helping the little guy. Whether you live in New York City or Westchester County, his law office can give you the legal assistance you need. He is an effective advocate in the courtroom, on appeal, at arbitrations, during mediations, and in administrative hearings.

In addition to complimentary consultations, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us a dime unless we reach a favorable settlement or verdict.
