Personal injury and criminal law is a complex collection of ever-changing legislation and case law. Many of those injured by a third party's negligence and/or facing allegations of criminal offenses may not understand their rights or how their lives will be impacted. Without the help of a knowledgeable lawyer, your rights could be prejudiced. As an attorney with more than 25 years of experience, I understand the critical nature of staying up-to-date with the changes to state and federal law. As your lawyer, I will uncover the details of your case, answer your questions, and help you build a tough strategy to battle the legal challenges you face. I can also help you navigate your way through New York’s complex legal system. Talk to me first before making any decision that could have legal implications.
