Common Questions

Are you admitted in New York?

Yes. We are admitted to practice in New York and appear regularly before New York courts and the Workers' Compensation Board.

How does hiring out-of-state defense counsel work for carriers?

Most carriers and TPAs maintain approved panel counsel lists. Once approved, we receive assignments directly from claims examiners, report per your litigation guidelines, and bill per your rate structure. The substantive work is identical to what a Manhattan firm provides — at lower cost.

Can you handle the entire file or just specific tasks?

Both. We can take a file from answer through trial, or handle discrete assignments — a summary judgment motion on § 240 applicability, key depositions, or mediation representation. Whatever the file needs.

What about in-person court appearances?

Most conferences and arguments are remote. For in-person appearances (trial, certain oral arguments), we coordinate local appearance counsel or travel. This is disclosed upfront and budgeted explicitly — no surprises.

Do you handle Labor Law plaintiff work?

No. Defense-side only. No conflicts, no ambiguity about whose interests we serve.

What venues do you cover?

All five boroughs (New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, Richmond), Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and the surrounding counties. WCB matters statewide — hearings are virtual regardless of district office.

Can you coordinate both the WC defense and the Labor Law defense?

Yes — and this is one of our key advantages. When one firm handles both the WCB hearing and the Supreme Court litigation, the defense strategy is unified. Medical evidence, deposition testimony, and settlement posture are coordinated instead of operating in silos.
