If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney it’s probably because you’ve been seriously hurt by the negligence of others. On the other side is a person or company, represented by insurance company lawyers, that is resisting the obligation to provide fair compensation for your injuries. Personal injury lawyers level the playing field so that individuals have their cases heard in court on equal footing with those multi-billion dollar corporations.
We believe in personal responsibility. If people or companies injure others through negligence they should be accountable for the losses. That is fair and just, and that accountability not only provides for the needs of the injured but also makes our communities safer.
This firm, therefore, is dedicated to helping accident and medical malpractice victims gain fair compensation for their injuries. Eric Turkewitz, the firm’s founder and principal trial attorney, has argued for over 25 years in front of judges and juries for just that purpose. For nine years in a row, 2009-2017, he was selected by Super Lawyers Magazine, as one of the top 5% of personal injury attorneys in New York.

Not only did Marc and Eric win the case, they served us well, with exceptional briefs, procedural finesse (a skill not to be underestimated) and near-instantaneous responsiveness. Even so, this is the level of performance that clients should expect of their lawyers.
