Automobile Accidents
If you’ve been injured by another motorist in an auto accident, the last thing you should have to bear is the financial burden of medical bills, lost wages and property damage. But far too often, negligent drivers and their insurance companies attempt to devalue injuries or even deny responsibility entirely.
Tractor Trailer Accidents
Tractor Trailer crashes cause catastrophic injuries to the occupants of other vehicles on the highway. Because of their size, weight and speed, Tractor Trailer crashes often injure and kill multiple parties in multiple vehicles.

icycling in Suffolk County, New York, is a popular and enjoyable recreational activity. Unfortunately, because we live in a highly populated area with busy roadways, bicyclists are often exposed to dangers created by negligent and distracted motorists.

Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When property owners are careless in the maintenance and inspection of their property, dangerous conditions develop. Loose steps or railings, slippery conditions or defects in pavement can all lead to serious injuries.
Criminal Law
Few events disrupt your life as completely as a criminal conviction. Incarceration, driver license suspension, a criminal record, damage to your reputation and other negative consequences make it essential to be represented by an experienced criminal defense lawyer, no matter what charge you face.
DWI/DWAI
A conviction for drunk driving can affect you long into the future. While jail time, fines and driver license suspensions disrupt your life in the short term, a criminal record can carry long-lasting consequences, limiting your employment prospects and driving privileges.
Traffic Law
Traffic law violations and misdemeanors may not seem like that big of a deal, until you have been accused of one. Even minor traffic infractions can carry substantial fines and add points to your license. In the case of more serious offenses, you could lose your license, or even spend time in jail.
Rideshare Accidents
Over the past few years, so-called “rideshare” apps like Uber and Lyft have become increasingly popular alternatives to traditional taxis and car services. However, these rideshares are no less prone to getting into accidents than any other motor vehicle on the road, and in some cases they may employ negligent or reckless drivers.
