If you are injured because of the negligence or recklessness of another person or company, you deserve a knowledgeable New York lawyer, who will fight for you. A personal injury can cost you time, money, and even future wages, but a skilled lawyer can help you recover financial losses from a car accident or other personal injury.

Scott came highly recommended to me and passionately pursued justice on behalf of my brother, who was severely injured in a fire. He went above and beyond, investigating all angles and approaches to ensure the best outcome.Scott was consistently professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, guiding me through the process from beginning to end. I sincerely hope that I do not need professional legal services again, but if I do, Scott will unquestionably be the first person I call.Scott was instrumental in giving my brother the means to secure the best of care for the debilitating injuries he will live with for the rest of his life.

Scott Richman is a life saver. My husband and I were locked into a lease in a building that seemed pretty okay when we moved in, but we quickly found to be absolutely awful (cockroach infestations, dead mice in the walls, smoking in the lobby of the building, no masks, etc.). Our landlord had taken to just ignoring our calls and emails asking to break our lease. They decided we could break it for a 3 month penalty, which is NOT realistic or okay. Scott got her attention, and got us out of the lease in return for us allowing them to keep our security deposit. He saved us a ton of money, and did it SO fast - I think the entire process was about a week in total. Scott knows what he's doing, and he's a great person to have in your corner when you're in a tough spot! Thanks again Scott!

I had never worked with a law firm in the past and was always hesitant to do so. But Scott Richman came highly recommended to assist with an accident I had back in July of 2020 and I must say his professionalism and diligence with my case was outstanding. He explained the process thoroughly and answered all questions expertly. I would not hesitate to use him again.

In a pinch, I needed general legal services within 24 hours. After a quick search, I found Scott and his firm and gave them a call. Scott answered the phone, took the time to walk me through what was happening and what I needed done, and then went out of his way to make sure it was taken care of that day. He even met me after business hours to ensure everything was taken care of, even printing out extra copies of everything to make sure I had one on file. I highly recommend Scott and his team for any of your legal needs - he is fantastic!
