Case Results

- Multi-million-dollar jury verdicts in nursing home abuse and neglect claims, protecting vulnerable seniors and their families.

Legal Philosophy
Bornstein & Emanuel operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients are not required to pay legal fees unless the firm secures a financial recovery. Attorneys emphasize accessibility, offering free consultations and encouraging early contact to preserve evidence and avoid missing New York’s statutory deadlines.
The firm educates clients on comparative negligence rules, reminding them that even if they are partially at fault for an accident, they may still recover damages reduced by their percentage of responsibility. They also stress the importance of acting within the statute of limitations, which typically requires filing within two years of the incident for personal injury cases.
Client Experience
Client feedback often highlights the firm’s thorough communication, compassion, and persistence. Many testimonials describe attorneys as attentive and respectful, ensuring clients feel supported through medical treatment and litigation. The long-standing presence of Spanish-speaking staff further expands accessibility for a diverse client base in Queens and Nassau County.
