David C. Lustig III

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.’

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.

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.

Fifteen years after successfully representing me in a car accident case that settled for a substantial amount of money, I refered my son to Mr. Lustig for an extremely serious injury that occured in an accident on a construction site. In the middle of trial my son's case settled for well into the mil...lions of dollars. I was there in court every day and was consistently impressed with Mr. Lustig's presentation. He was extremely well prepared, totally focused and an exceptionally strong, smart and articulate advocate. At all times, he had a calm and commanding presense and was a complete gentleman with the judge, the defense lawyers and the witnesses. His cross examination of the defense witnesses was masterful and better than lawyer shows on TV. My son, his wife and I spoke to the jurors afterwards and they all were very impressed as well and were all disappointed that the case settled because they wanted to hear his summation! I must add that thoughout the entire time he represented my son, both he and his partner, Mitchell Sassower, kept us fully informed as to the progress and status of the case. They both are exceptional lawyers and exceptionally good people.
