Divorce
Some psychological injuries are so severe that they can be as disabling as serious physical injuries. When a careless or reckless act caused intense trauma, special arrangements must be made when pursuing a lawsuit. This concept originated with “collaborative divorce,” where a psychologist becomes part of the team so that settlement discussions can stay on track. With lawsuits that involved extremely traumatic events, this formula can also be applied, and a lawsuit for psychological injuries can be brought. Of course, any accident is traumatic. Fearing for your life when [...]

Child Abuse
Since the New York State legislature passed The Child Victims Act in January, 2019 victims of child abuse have been successfully bringing claims for abuse that occurred when they children. The Act extended long expired statute of limitations, allowing victims one year to sue their abusers for acts that were committed decades ago. The deadline for filing claims under the original act was August 14th, […]

Criminal Defense
There are two major types of law in the United States and other Western Countries – criminal law and tort law. Criminal laws are enforced by the government byto punish perpetrators and to protect the population from harms caused by criminals. Tort laws allow people to sue to collect damages from other people that have caused them harm. Many laws have an equivalent in criminal and tort law. For example, the crime of theft is equivalent to the tort law of conversion. The government can prosecute an alleged thief, and at the same time, he might be sued under tort law by his victim. More commonly, a drunk driver will face criminal charges, while also be sued in “tort” by his victims.
DUI/DWI
It is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, street drugs or prescription drugs that may impair your ability to drive. You would think that with all the available public transportation in Manhattan, that this would happen less frequently than in other places. Unfortunately it does not. There are close to 200 DUI fatal accidents in New York City every month!
Wrongful Death
There are many deadlines to be aware of for traffic accidents. No-fault forms must be submitted within 30 days. A Notice of Claim against the City must be filed within 90 days. A lawsuit must be commenced against the City within a year and ninety days. The statute of limitations for traffic accidents is three years, but only two years for a wrongful death Claim. If there are other types of claims involved such as design defects, those claims will carry their own Statutes of Limitations. This is why it is very important to consult with an attorney promptly after a traffic accident.
Traffic Violations
There aren’t always opportunities for speeding in Manhattan, but as soon as the road is clear, drivers want to make up for lost time. Speeding on Manhattan streets is extremely dangerous as there are many pedestrians crossing as well as the danger of collisions with other vehicles. If you are speeding and get injured, there’s not going to be much that a Manhattan Accident Lawyer can do for you!
Sex Crimes
It is well-established that most of the abuse is perpetrated by prison staff, not other inmates, but gangs inside prisons are also responsible for much peer violence and rape. Sexual abuse is even more common in juvenile prisons than in adult detention centers. Statistics run as high as 1 in 10 juveniles reporting sexual abuse, as children are not as strong and much less likely to speak up when abused. Denial of medical treatment can mean that illnesses that could be easily treated progress to much more serious conditions, and sometimes even become life-threatening.
Theft
Misdemeanors
High crimes and misdemeanors is the Constitutional standard the Congress must use to decide whether or not to impeach and remove a sitting President. It’s always been difficult to understand Constitutional law because it’s written in old-fashioned language and is often intentionally vague. That’s why my teaching assistant review sessions, for the late great civil rights lawyer Haywood Burns, attracted hundreds of students and packed […]
Embezzlement
Criminal acts can give rise to tort claims, and most often the conduct is intentional. An example is embezzlement. This is a crime punishment by many years of imprisonment, and the victim is certainly going to sue to get their money back whenever possible. This also comes up for assaults, which can give rise to claims for inadequate security. A sexual assault by an employer, will most likely give rise to a sexual harassment claim. “The intent with which tort liability is concerned is not necessarily a hostile intent, or a desire to do any harm. Rather it is an intent to bring about a result which will invade the interests of another in a way that the law will not sanction.” WILLIAM L. PROSSER, LAW OF TORTS 31 (4th ed. 1971). The most common intentional tort is what’s called “trespass.” This is when a person intentionally enters the property of another, or causes somebody else to enter the property or remains on property after being asked to leave. When trespass occurs, and harm is done, the owner is entitled to be compensated. Other common types of intentional torts are battery, assault, infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment. These basic common law categories give rise to many familiar claims. For example, a false imprisonment case is a basis for a lawsuit for false arrest. Intentionally failing to provide correct medical results might give rise to a claim for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. A battery is “any unpermitted touching,” giving rise to a hostile work environment or peer-to-peer bullying case.
Assault
Arson
Despite the beautiful garden and zoo, the reputation of the Bronx evokes an image of burned out buildings and gangs. Thankfully, there is less of this throughout the City now, including the Bronx, but there is a history to that image. Back in the days of Prohibition, bootleggers, and gangs were active in the Bronx, smuggling most of the illegal whiskey into New York City. This legacy worsened in the 1960s when high rise housing projects and highways destroyed many neighborhoods, and the real estate value of housing in The Bronx plummeted. This led to a rash of arson in the 1970s as property owners did better collecting insurance than selling their property! Those lucky enough to pick up some property at that time doing very well today as The Bronx has become revitalized!
Hit and Run
The first place to start is to examine comparative negligence between the pedestrian and the vehicle. A pedestrian crossing at the corner following traffic signals is going to have any easier time proving the accident was caused by the car than somebody that was running across the street in the middle of the block to cross a bus. In some cases, liability isn’t even an issue, such as a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk that’s hit by an out of control car. Sadly, many times pedestrians are hit by drivers that leave the scene, and in such cases the absent driver is usually presumed to be at fault. Sometimes the pedestrian is able to get a plate number and insurance can be located for the offending hit and run vehicle. If insurance cannot be located, the insurance for any car owning family member in their household will cover the loss. If nobody owns a car, the loss is covered by a fund called the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC.) If you’re a pedestrian that was hit by a motor vehicle, it’s important to call an experienced Queens pedestrian accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident because time limits can be short and deadlines can be blown. For example, a hit and run accident must be reported to the police within 48 hours. Call 718-261-8114 for a free consultation.

Premises Liability
Slip and Fall Accidents are a leading cause of injuries in New York City. Obviously, you can’t sue if you fall on a banana peel that you dropped on the floor, but many falls are caused by the negligence of a premises owner or renter that failed to take proper care.

At Wittenstein & Wittenstein, we’ve been representing people in New York City and Long Island for Slip and Fall cases for over 60 years.
Real Estate Transactions
In the 17th Century, most states capped legal fees based on the attorney’s area of practice. For example, there would be a cap for divorce, a cap for real estate transactions and a cap for criminal representation. Attorneys would therefore have to compete heavily for clients based on their skills because it wasn’t easy for an attorney that charged less than the cap to make a living. […]
Land Use and Zoning
Property Damage
