Nicholas W Maiorano

If I were giving a grade in a class it would be an D-. This attorney represented me. This attorneys passive attitude allowed for scores of documents and facts to be misconstrued and incorrectly presented and represented leading up to and during case. Costs into the tens of thousands (most witho...ut client knowledge or approval - costs that were expected to be paid by client) were misrepresented by multiple attorneys in this firm. Decisions were made for and about client without client knowledge, consult or approval. Firm fails to disclose critical information, and does not seem to care how it effects the clients they are hired to serve. No attention to detail, terrible communication. Experience with this lawyers was more like a secretary collecting data than an attorney hired to do what is right for the client. The only positive thing to say about personal experience with this particular attorney is that he is pleasant and seems to be kind. More-so than most of the other employees experienced at this firm. I do not in an way shape matter or form recommend this firm at all.

On Dec. 26 2012, I was struck by a F250 with a snowplow attachment and salt spreader, while crossing the road on my way to my friends house. According to the police report, I was thrown 60 feet and landed in a snow bank. This accident placed me in Westchester Medical Center ICU, and I spent the next ...11 days waiting for, and undergoing major reconstructive surgery to my left hip and pelvis. While in the hospital(under heavy painkillers) I signed on a lawyer to handle my case. After months of physical therapy, I was finally able to get around the house with the help of crutches. After my deposition, my lawyer informed me that I had little to no chance of winning my suit. My lawyer suggested that I accept the insurance offer of $15,000. At this point I immediately started looking for a different lawyer. I had heard very good things about the local firm Fienkelstein and Partners, so I decided to consult with them. They where extremely helpful and willing to take on my "hard" case. The firm placed my case in the more than capable hands of a fairly new "up and coming lawyer" Nicholas Maiorano. This wonderful man took the time to get to know me, and my case, very well. Nick told me it was going to be tough, but he would give it everything he had in him. After a few meetings, and low-ball offers from the insurance agencies attorney, we went to court before a jury. Nick told me to be patient and that this was going to be "all or nothing". After the jury heard the case and deliberated for a long time, they came back into the court room with a verdict. Instead of the $15,000 dollar offer(that my original lawyer stressed that I take) the jury came out and awarded me $600,000! What a miracle! If I ever find myself misfortunate enough to again need legal representation due to an accident, I will not hesitate to call Finkelstein &Partners' Super Lawyer Nicholas Maiorano! Thank you, Nick, from the bottom of my heart! My life is forever changed because of you. :) Bless you. I wish you and your firm the very best of wishes! Good luck man! And keep being Super!
