Our firm's founding partners, John Powers and Dan Santola, have repeatedly been selected by their peers as two of "The Best Lawyers in America." Other attorneys at the firm have made their own mark, providing quality legal representation and leadership in the legal profession.
However, the most meaningful accolades we receive are the results we have achieved for our clients — people whose lives were drastically changed by a serious injury or the death of a loved one. Our firm has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients throughout New York who counted on us to help them through the overwhelming financial and personal difficulties they faced after:
A construction site or workplace accident
An injury or illness due to medical malpractice or the failure to diagnose cancer
A motor vehicle accident
We are Prepared for Trial
Some law firms accept a large number of cases, without regard to merit, knowing they will settle. Some firms settle too quickly in order to pay their own bills. Insurance companies know which firms will settle without a fight and which firms have the experience and the resources to take a case to trial and verdict.
At Powers & Santola, LLP, we bring all of our resources to bear on every case we handle. We accept only meritorious cases involving substantial injuries — cases in which we hold wrongdoers accountable to those whom they have injured; cases that may prevent similar injuries from occurring in the future. We prepare every personal injury and wrongful death case for trial to verdict. We also handle appeals.
We will only settle a case for the full and fair amount that our client is entitled to receive.
