Carl didn’t work out for me.

I was seriously injured bc a store front didn’t shovel their snow, icy in spots, Carl did work hard but it went to court after he thought he wouldn’t. The jury slept thru an abrupt one day trial maybe bc it was Friday and they didn’t want to return Monday. The jury seemed to dislike Carl, a bit co...cky in court, he was so sure he’d win. In the end, he lost I lost. , We got absolutely nothing and the Judge apologized to me. I’ll feel this injury for the rest of my life. After Carl said it was ‘money in the bank.’

Simply the best!

I was referred to Carl by a friend. So glad I went with that referral. Carl and his team worked tirelessly for me and to my benefit! I couldn't believe the "magic" that took place. My case yielded so much more than I thought and expected. Along the way Carl advised me to be patient. He asked for my t...rust. That trust was definitely not misplaced! His words and guidance was spot on the whole way! I've used Carl's services twice now. Both times he and his team did not disappoint! I know if I ever need an attorney again, Carl is the only one I am calling!

an extremely effective attorney

Carl is an extremely effective attorney and you couldn't do better than hiring him. He got a very generous settlement for my case and really, I couldn't have asked for more. Especially since other attorneys were either reluctant to take it on or for a much smaller settlement. It was a lucky day I cam...e across him. All in all, he's extremely well versed in his bailiwick (accident law) and the most professional attorney I've come across. I have no axe to grind but he's tops. You'll be in good hands with Carl - he knows the ropes and serves his clients to the max.

Terrific Lawyer

Mr Lustig recently settled a case for me involving a construction accident. I was a union electrician who was hurt badly on the job when I was hit by falling construction debris. I found Mr Lustig to be extremely knowledgeable on construction matters as well as my medical issues. He is a confident an...d no-nonsense lawyer who obtained an excellent result for me. You cannot find a better personal injury lawyer in New York.

Highly recommended

Last year Mr. Lustig represented my husband and me in a trial in Manhattan. My husband had been injured when he fell off a ladder after receiving an electrical shock. Mr. Lustig's preparation for the trial was intense and he was thoroughly prepared. He clearly had the respect of the judge and the def...ense lawyer and the jury paid very close attention to his every word. He is smart, serious and very tough in a quiet, confident way. The verdict was many times what the insurance company had offered and many times what my husband and I thought we could ever hope for. Mr. Lustig will always be in our prayers. We owe him so much and recommend him highly. He is very special as a lawyer and as a person.

  • 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.
