A Dynamic Approach

In every case we accept, we take charge of the litigation. Our personal injury defense attorneys push it forward, setting the pace, filing motions for dismissal and preparing the case for trial. This dynamic approach frequently results in an early and cost effective settlement outside of the courtroom.

We make skillful use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, including mediation and arbitration. If a case does go to trial, our clients know they can depend on our courtroom abilities. We have successfully defended clients in thousands of personal injury trials.

Setting the State for an Appeal

Because we also have a successful appellate practice, our trial attorneys know how to establish a record for a possible appeal while pushing for a positive resolution at trial.

Our personal injury and wrongful death defense practice ranges from car and truck accidents and slip and fall claims to cases involving allegations of defective products or medical malpractice.

Insurance Bad Faith Defense

We also defend clients against allegations of insurance bad faith. If your organization has been accused of acting in bad faith by failing to accept a settlement offer within policy limits, please contact our law firm for reliable advice and representation.

With offices in White Plains, Manhattan and Poughkeepsie, we successfully defend clients in personal injury and wrongful death claims throughout New York and southern Connecticut.
