Personal Injury 50%

As the name implies, personal injury lawsuits deal with some sort of physical injury caused by the negligence of another. An individual can be found liable for your injuries if he or she displayed careless conduct or failed to act when a reasonable person would have acted. Regardless of intent, if someone acts—or fails to act—outside the standard of care of a reasonable person, he or she could be found liable for your injuries.

Amazing Lawyer

I found Michael Maggiano and his wife and staff to be the most professional considerate and virtuous people I have ever been blessed with They handled my accident case beyond all my expectations. God Bless them all.

Worthy advocate

My husband was severely injured at a well known establishment and almost lost his life after suffering from many complications due to his injuries. I retained Mr. Maggiano to assist us during what was a very dark and difficult time of our lives. Mr. Maggiano and Thomas stuck with us the entire time t...o make sure we were doing fine. They were always available to answer our questions and provided guidance whenever necessary. Mr. Maggiano and his team persisted with our case for over two years and were are grateful and beyond satisfied with the job they've done. I thank God I was able to find a lawyer like Mr. Maggiano because this was an extremely difficult case.

Review

Humanity is the impression I had when I first met Michael Maggiano, owner and Attorney of Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi and his team. Michael and Lawyer Daniel Lattera came directly to my home while I was confined to my couch with a constricted back brace, cast on my leg and shoulder strap ready fo...r numerous surgeries to come. Where do I begin, I thought and they reminded me over and again, we want you to tell your story. Always tell the truth and we will all tell your story. Michael, Lawyers Thomas Boyle and Daniel Lattera were my teachers and mentors throughout this complex managerie. I was a novice at litigation and I am now injured with permanents and their compassion really was my guiding light through this nightmare. They are brilliant! Over and again I would mention to family and friends Michael and Thomas's comments and perspective and it was so reassuring to here over and again, You have excellent lawyers! " Now there is no amount of a settlement that will take away the pain of permanent suffering, but Michael's team fought and succeeded in bringing me the comfort of a lifetime free of the fears of financial insecurity.

Dedicated and Compassionate

When my husband had his car accident he was no longer able to work and with dedication to help us, Mr. Maggiano not only got all of the medical bills paid he also got us enough money to help us achieve a fresh start. We will be forever grateful for his services!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
