A boutique law practice focusing on civil litigation, personal injury, and workers compensation. Civil litigation concerns matters that involve disputes between parties, and fall outside the criminal context. Personal injury falls within civil litigation. Workers compensation protects the rights of injured workers. Dual citizenship matters is a niche area that falls within civil litigation, as these matters take place before the Supreme Court of the State of New York and are litigated in civil court. These proceedings involve procuring court orders to release vital records, court orders to amend vital records, and/or “one and the same” court orders. My services regarding dual citizenship matters are limited exclusively to procuring court orders from New York State Supreme Court.
If you are in need of legal assistance with a civil case, a personal injury case, or a dual citizenship matter, don’t hesitate to reach out. I have successfully represented clients on a wide variety of civil matters and dual citizenship matters. I personally handle the case from commencement to conclusion. Your case will not get passed to assistants and paralegals. I’m selective with the cases I take on, and only accept a certain number of cases per year. This allows me to give each case the dedication and advocacy it deserves. I treat every case as if it was my personal case, with my name on the caption. I’m one of the few attorneys, if not the only attorney in the New York City metropolitan area who is an Italian citizen and offers representation in these particular dual citizenship matters.
FEES: Some matters are able to be done on a contingency basis, meaning there is no cost to the client unless we recover a settlement. For other matters, I charge no less than $7500 (seven thousand five hundred dollars) to be the attorney of record in New York State Supreme Court. I do not charge retainers but charge flat rate legal fees. Legal fees are commensurate with the complexity of the case. That being said, my services are a good fit for those who see the value in hiring professional representation, and see legal fees as worth the investment.
