About Carmen
Biography
I am a New York City Personal Injury, Civil Rights, Employment, and Litigation Attorney who loves the practice of law. My skills and results as an attorney have been recognized by Super Lawyers for 13 straight years (fewer than 5% of attorneys nationwide receive this honor), Avvo (10/10 rating), Google (5 star rating), and many more legal organizations for my multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements over the years. When you become a client of Giordano Law Offices, I utilize the full force of my legal acumen, background, and experience as a seasoned trial attorney to get results and to achieve justice for you. I treat my clients like members of my family and I make myself available 24/7.
Few attorneys have the experience that I have gained over the years and which fuels our firm. I worked as a Rackets & Homicide Prosecutor in Brooklyn, where I conducted investigations and handled trials in the areas of organized crime, white collar crime, public corruption, and drug-related homicides. I have also worked as a Legislative Counsel for The United States Senate in Washington D.C. for Senators like Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, and others.
I am perhaps most uniquely qualified for lawsuits against large corporations, municipalities and public authorities because I understand these entities intimately: prior to creating our law firm, I worked as a Senior Trial Specialist for the N.Y.C. Corporation Counsel’s Special Litigation Unit, trying some of the City’s most serious lawsuits, including wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases, throughout the five boroughs of NYC.
I have advanced degrees in the legal field: I have advanced degrees in the legal field: in addition to my J.D., I hold a Masters of Laws (LLM) in Constitutional Law & Jurisprudence from NYU Law School.
I will do all that I can to use the full extent of my legal background, experience, and expertise to help you or your loved one: please call or text.

Helped me get my check from a modeling gig after waiting months for the company to pay me.
I went to Carmen to talk to him about a payment that I needed to receive from a shoot I did. During the consultation he sent a demand letter to the company and two days later I received my check.
