Peter M Agulnick, P.C., New York Attorney/Litigation Lawyer

Child Support
Adoption
Spousal Support

Criminal Defense
*96 James Fitzjames Stephen, in A History of the Criminal Law of England, illustrates the Anglo-American rule in a hypothetical: "A number of people who stand round a shallow pond in which a child is drowning, and let it drown without taking the trouble to ascertain the depth of the pond, are, no doubt, shameful cowards, but they can hardly be said to have killed the child." [FN12] As evidence of the Anglo-American rule's longevity, Stephen's illustration, written over a hundred years ago, is still applicable today.
Wrongful Death
Traffic Violations
On August 30, 1997, Princess Diana's speeding Mercedes-Benz crashed in France, killing her and critically injuring other passengers in the car. Before medical help arrived for the Princess and her companions, photographers who had arrived at the scene allegedly snapped photographs of her body instead of assisting her and the others trapped in the car. As a result, the seven photographers were investigated for possibly violating, among other things, [FN1] France's "Good-Samaritan" law, [FN2] which requires that onlookers lend aid to victims in peril.
Sex Crimes
Whoever knows that another person is a victim of aggravated rape, murder, manslaughter or armed robbery and is at the scene of said crime shall, to the extent that said person can do so without danger or peril to himself or others, report said crime to an appropriate law enforcement official as *106 soon as reasonably practicable. Any person who violates this section shall be punished by a fine of not less than five hundred or more than two thousand five hundred dollars. [FN73]
Robbery
Misdemeanors
Moreover, Article 63 imposes a duty to aid potential victims who face danger from would-be criminals: "Any person who, by his immediate action and without danger to himself or others, could have prevented either a felonious act or a misdemeanor against the person, and willfully fails to do so, shall be punished...." [FN86] Paragraph 1 of Article 63 also requires individuals to report crimes--or aid victims of crimes--that place another person in danger. [FN87] This provision essentially requires one to either fend off an attacker or report an on-going crime immediately to the authorities. Anglo- American law classifies the *109 failure to meet this requirement as "misprision of felony," [FN88] a common-law crime which has unequivocally been rejected by American courts. [FN89]
Assault
Litigation for individuals injured in all accidents including, car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, construction accidents, assault and battery, false arrest litigation / false imprisonment, and civil rights matters.
Murder
Moreover, in a multiple-witness scenario, a duty-to-rescue rule may hinder police efforts to apprehend criminals. For instance, if failing to act was a criminal offense at the time of Genovese's plight, the thirty-eight witnesses might never have come forward to identify Genovese's attacker after he was apprehended. These witnesses might have feared that they themselves would be prosecuted for not reporting the crime when it occurred. This, ironically, might have resulted in the attacker never being caught. In addition, suppose that only one of the thirty-eight witnesses had come forward after Genovese's murder. Would it be fair to punish this one person who reported the crime and not the remaining thirty-seven who kept silent? [FN19]
Homicide
[FN1]. The photographers were also placed under investigation for "involuntary homicide," which is the French equivalent of manslaughter. See Jocelyn Noveck, Seven Paparazzi Remain Under Scrutiny, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS Sept. 3, 1997, at N11.
Arson
Liberty Insurance sued its insurance policy holder, Ms. Brown, whom we defended. Liberty Insurance's lawsuit sought the return of a large insurance payment made to Ms. Brown after a fire caused damage to her house. After making the payment, Liberty Insurance claimed our client committed arson. The result: Before trial, the court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the entire lawsuit against Ms. Brown.
Restraining Order
Litigation involving contractual disputes, partnership disputes, stock-holder disputes, fraud, business torts, injunctions, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, property damage, appeals, appellate litigation, judgment enforcement, subrogtation, and insurance coverage.
Manslaughter
[FN46]. Cf. People v. Montecino, 152 P.2d 5 (Cal. Dist. Ct. App. 1944) (holding that the defendant, who had a duty to care for an elderly man, was guilty of manslaughter because the elderly man had died from the defendant's lack of care). Note, however, that a physician's duty extends to maintaining a patient's health. But if a patient's health deteriorates to the point that he will surely die, and the physician believes all medically available treatment would be futile, then no such duty exists. See generally JOSHUA DRESSLER, supra note 8, § 9.07, at 84.
Hit and Run
Legislatures often impose a statutory duty upon certain individuals. Perhaps the most common of these laws are the "hit-*104 and-run" statutes, which, at present, all states have enacted. [FN64] "Hit-and-run" statutes require drivers involved in car accidents to stop and help injured parties at the scene. If a driver fails to stop he will be guilty of violating the hit-and-run statute. In addition, if the driver fails to stop and a victim dies, courts will often find the driver guilty of manslaughter. [FN65]

Auto Accidents

Debt Collection
Note on Spelling of " Judgment " or " Judgement ": The word " judgment " is properly spelled without an e in American English by laypeople and lawyers. However, laypeople and even a lawyer/attorney might spell "judgment" with an extra e. Because many misspell "judgment," people who mistakenly type keywords like " j udgment lawyer," " collection judgment attorney " or " judgment collections lawyer New York," or " how do I collect a judgment," " collecting judgment," " collecting judgments," or " collecting a judgment " will find this page only if they spell judgment properly without the e. (Obviously "Collection" or "Collection of debts" or "debt collection" would work fine for someone looking for a collection attorney or collection lawyer or collection lawyers or collection attorney in New York or in NY or in N.Y. or lawyer or New York lawyer or NY lawyer or N.Y. lawyer collection of judgment debt. lowyer.
