Contingency Fee Representation Available - We Get Paid Only If We Recover Money For You.

Did you know that you can hire an experienced attorney to fight for your rights without huge up-front costs and expensive hourly legal bills?  If you have legal claims, we may be able to represent you on a "contingency fee" basis.  In contingency fee representation, your attorneys get paid out of money they recover for you instead of charging you thousands of dollars in retainer fees and fees of hundreds of dollars per hour.  If you win your case, the defendant may be required to pay your legal fees.   Call us and we'll be happy to discuss your situation.  If we can't help you, we'll point you in the right direction - usually free of charge.

Skilled Legal Advice In the New York City Metropolitan Area (including Long Island).

The best time to obtain legal advice is before you need to file a lawsuit.  There's no need to wait until a problem becomes too large to manage.  Get us involved early and we may be able to prevent a challenge from developing into a crisis.  We would rather provide you with guidance than fix a disaster that could have been avoided inexpensively.  Let us put you on a favorable path to optimize your chances for a positive outcome.  "An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure."  

Workplace Challenges Don't Need to Become Lawsuits

Do you have an employment agreement or severance package that you would like reviewed or negotiated?  Is your employer trying to cut you out of a big transaction to avoid paying you a sales commission?  We can guide you through these and other matters, even if you have a complex compensation structure.  

We will work hard to get you the best possible results.  Our practice areas are continually expanding, and currently include:

• Sexual Harassment;
• Discrimination (Gender, Race, Disability);
• Retaliation and Unlawful Termination;
• Wages, Overtime, Commissions and Bonuses; and
• Housing Rights (rent overcharges, judicial transfers of homeowners' equity).

When you need counsel on a major, life-impacting decision, you deserve an attorney who will listen to you, thoroughly examine the facts, and provide the best possible solution for you and your future.

We pride ourselves on our responsiveness and will answer all inquiries promptly.
