Daniel Flanzig

I had the bad luck to get “doored” while on my bicycle, but the day after the accident, I had the good fortune to have Flanzig and Flanzig as my attorneys. Cathy Flanzig took the lead in my case and was, first of all, compassionate and understanding of the distress I and my family were in, and of th...e apprehensions we had relating to medical care, expenses and a possible settlement. Cathy reassured me of all my concerns and answered all of my immediate questions. While I went to surgery and focused on recuperating, her firm was working with the defendant’s insurance company to take care of my medical bills. Over the next year, she was responsive to any of my queries and kept me updated as to the progress of my case. I eventually reach a settlement that I was very satisfied with. Cathy is an expert at bicycle law, a super negotiator and someone who really cares about her clients and works in their best interests. You would be lucky as well, to have this firm on your side, should you have the misfortune to suffer a personal injury.

Ok- if you're reading this, I'm guessing you're looking for a great lawyer because you've been hit by a car. A few years ago, I was exactly in your position (and it hurt a lot!) Beyond the physical pain, it was the extreme difficulty in finding justice and making it through a system of healthcare... and insurance that is baffling which gave me anxiety and uncertainty about my future. I quickly discovered that there were all manner of lawyers who claim expertise in a field they don't specialize in, who want to use your trauma to make a payday. Daniel Flanzig is the complete opposite of this- he genuinely understands your position and is the most knowledgeable expert on NYC bike law you'll find. I had spoken to a few other lawyers and had heard the typical stuff about being a priority for their firm, but Daniel did more than tell me- he showed me how much he cared by helping me put my life back together. His assistance in navigating the system and making sure all my paperwork was in order was invaluable- he put me at ease and made me feel like I was in safe hands. His expertise and willingness to work hard for your case is unparalleled- I count myself incredibly fortunate that I came across his firm in my research. I'm only posting this because he's really helped me put my life back on track and I hope he can do the same for you too. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Dan and his team were incredible from start to finish. I was struck by a utility truck during a recreational bike ride and had to go through a complicated shoulder surgery and a long recovery. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the details of bike law and what makes it unique. They helped us ensur...e our medical bills were covered so we had no out of pocket expenses and handled every detail. He and his office were straightforward, transparent and supportive throughout the entire settlement process. We were more than happy with the result and we would highly recommend Dan and his office to anyone.

Daniel Flanzig is the lawyer you want on your team. Extraordinary knowledge, expertise, and experience are some of the assets he brings to the table to start with. His knowledge, not only of bicycle law but of relevant precedent and traffic law is staggering. Equally impressive is his ability to d...eal with opposing counsel in a collegial but definitive way. He and his firecracker staff were on top of my case from “go”, and always made me feel at ease and taken care of. Best of all, he got me my entire settlement without ever having to set foot in the courtroom. He knows his law and how to practice it. Do yourself a favor and get this guy to represent you.

A couple of years ago, I was involved in an accident while biking to work. The driver of a vehicle parked on the side of the road didn't check his mirrors before opening his door, and so when he swung the door open, it struck me and knocked me into another vehicle on the road. I fractured my hand and... eventually needed to have surgery. At the time of the accident, I did what anyone in that situation should do: I gathered information, found witnesses, snapped some photos of the scene of the accident, got a police report, and made sure to go to the hospital in an ambulance just in case I had unknowingly injured my neck, head, or back. However, I still needed to find a good lawyer to make sure that my (extensive) bills and other costs would be covered, because I have never battled an insurance company before and worried that they would try to avoid fault. I researched and spoke with multiple lawyers and decided to go with Daniel Flanzig. He understands the law inside and out and is a cyclist himself. After speaking with him, I felt like I could rest my fears about the situation and trust him to navigate me through the legal labyrinth of my case. The driver's car insurance, unsurprisingly, put up a fight and we went through a lot of BS for the next two years. Daniel and his team were always on top of everything - from my bills, court dates, prepping me for depositions, regularly updating me about what was happening, and more. The experience was nerve-wracking, but Daniel and his team instilled a sense of confidence and security in me that all was being taken care of. I'm happy to report that the case settled in my favor. If you are reading this, you have probably been in an accident or know someone who has, and you are probably trying to decide who to choose among the hundreds of lawyers out there. Do your research, but rest assured that you cannot go wrong with Daniel Flanzig and his team. They will work hard for you and take care of your situation just like they did for me. While I hope that I will not experience another accident, I know that if I do, I'll go back to Daniel without hesitation.
