Results
We lose no time in moving each case to resolution by settlement or trial. We frequently prepare a Summons and Complaint the same day we have been retained. Our motto is “maximum results in minimum time”. Every step of each case is completed as rapidly as possible. It is true that crowded court calendars caused by an insufficient number of judges and courtrooms, do bring some delays which vary from country to country. However, few, in any, other law firms prepare their cases for resolution as quickly as Lurie, Ilchert, MacDonnell & Ryan. We never are the cause of delays. We have a well-carned reputation of always being ready to go forward at every phase of the case, including always being ready for trial before a judge and jury. This has resulted in settlements that would otherwise have been impossible, not only in strong cases, but in problematic cases as well.
Million dollar final results are not rarities in our office. 80 of our clients have received $1,000,000 or more for their personal injuries. 203 of our clients have received $500,000 or more for their personal injuries. Unlike so many other New York City personal injury attorneys, we have not included in these figures large jury verdicts which were drastically reduced by the trial judge or by an appeals court. We are straight shooters and make no misleading claims. We are very familiar with the special techniques necessary to win the largest amounts of money permitted by law in difficult personal injury cases. Of course, each case is different and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Client Testimonials
"I don’t have the words to express how grateful I am to the Lurie Firm. I hired Mr. Lurie after my left index finger was amputated doing construction work. I was devastated and scared. I knew this accident would change my life forever. I also knew I was so seriously injured that I would never be able to earn a living doing the same type of work. The instant I phoned Mr. Lurie’s firm I immediately almost felt at home. His staff was warm, caring and gave me the confidence that I needed to believe that things eventually would be alright, and that is exactly what happened. The case was a tremendous success! Mr. Lurie and his staff gave me back my life!"

"I am glad to answer your question about my experience with the Lurie Law Firm. I fell from a scaffold at work severely injuring my back. My case was settled during trial May 2009 for an amount of money that was more than satisfactory to me. I never thought I would get so much money for a case that I knew had many difficulties. I was always treated by the lawyers at the Lurie Law Firm and their staff in the most courteous way. My questions were answered immediately. The lawyers were all very experienced trial lawyers in accident cases and seemed to anticipate, and prepared for, every problem. I was thoroughly prepared for trial and was able to testify with confidence. No one wants to be injured in an accident, but if it does happen, I cannot imagine that any law firm would do a better job than the Lurie Law Firm."

"I was a construction worker and had to be in good physical shape in order to do my work. So when I tripped over a defective stairway while I was working and seriously injured my shoulder I knew I wouldn’t be able to work for some time. I had to work in order to support myself and my family, and the only work I knew how to do involved heavy physical labor. I was lucky enough to hear about the Lurie Law Firm and hired them to represent me. From the very beginning, I felt confident with my choice. The attorneys and other staff all put me at ease and everyone tried to help me. Because of their diligence, experience and competence, my case had a very successful ending. I am very happy with the award I received. I I can now move forward with my life. If anyone is injured in an accident, my advice is to hire the Lurie Law Firm. They won’t regret it."
Juan (an actual client who’s family name was not given to protect his privacy)
"I tripped and fell on a broken sidewalk and fractured my hip. As a result, I was hospitalized and had surgery. I didn’t think anything could be done for me, and I didn’t know I could sue the City of New York. But when I contacted the Lurie Law Firm they assured me that they could help me. I hired them, but I didn’t think I would receive much money. Whenever I went to their office about my case, I was treated very well by all the nice people who work there. I don’t speak English, but someone was always available to interpret for me. When my case settled, I was surprised with how much money I received. I am so happy with the way my case was handled by the Lurie Law Firm."
