Comprehensive Service. Unsurpassed know-how.

As a complete legal resource for members of the service, we concentrate in certain areas of law that are critical to the quality of officers’ lives.”

Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice: Through our relationship with the tri-state area’s top law firms we offer a first-line resource for those who have been hurt on or off the job in automobile accidents, premises accidents, defective products or negligent medical treatment. Our of counsel attorneys have earned a singular reputation for recovering some of the largest awards in the state on behalf of officers’ and their families.
3/4 Pension Retirement Benefits: Line of Duty or Accidental Disability retirement benefits are subject to complex rules. Under certain circumstances, members of the service will qualify for 3/4’s instead of ordinary disability retirement benefits. The law may also allow officers’ to retire with 3/4’s and, if their case is properly presented, to recover a substantial tax-free lump sum settlement or verdict from another party, including the City, for their injuries. We have successfully guided many clients through this process, making the experience as painless and as efficient as possible.
