Free, confidential consultation. Spanish spoken. You have rights regardless of your immigration status.
Speaking with your lawyer in your own language is not a detail. The firm prepares every deposition with you, in Spanish, and checks what gets translated.
César Valdebenito explains a spinal injury with an anatomical model at the Hempstead office.
“One mistranslated word can be the difference between winning and losing your case.”
Illustrative reconstruction: the witness says “un ladrillo”, a brick, and the interpreter says “a stone”. A stone could have come from anywhere, and the claim is weakened. The attorney objects and the record is corrected to “brick”: work material that fell from the scaffold. Every case turns on its own facts.
Thirty years of legal experience in New York, since 1996. The firm guarantees you will receive the best legal representation for your accident case.

Partner
He graduated from Hofstra University’s Maurice A. Deane School of Law in 2010 and joined the firm in October of that year. He has been a partner since January 2023. He comes from a family with a long history in construction, and that experience shapes his work with injured workers: he handles his cases personally, from investigation to court.

These are general answers. Your specific case is reviewed in the free consultation.
The consultation is free and confidential. During the call you are told how fees would work in your case before you decide anything.
The firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency basis: you do not pay legal fees unless you receive compensation. You receive a written agreement that explains the arrangement.
Preparing a lawsuit involves expenses: court fees, investigation, transcripts, medical records and experts. The firm advances those expenses and they are reimbursed when the case concludes.
No. The firm assists you in Spanish and explains each step directly.
The firm represents injured people regardless of immigration status. Your specific situation is reviewed in the consultation.
It depends on the case. Some conclude in months; a lawsuit can take longer because of court congestion. First medical records, reports and photographs are gathered; then information is exchanged with the other side and depositions are taken. The firm keeps you informed at every stage.
