    I have had bad luck in the past with attorneys, however; this is my second time reaching out to Mr. Dan Cytryn for his help and I have to agree with many of the reviews posted. Whether good or bad he is always honest with you. The staff is professional and always on point. They always call you back and answer any questions you may have. As someone said. " As long as Dan Cytryn is in business, he is the only one I would go to and so will you, and you can take that to the bank!

    Just the best

    Posted by

    Had phone conversations with Mr. Cytryn over a very complicated accident/injury case. A very giving attorney, he spoke with me several times about the many areas of my case without asking for anything in return. Very intelligent. approachable attorney with a wonderful staff. Wish he would have had the ability to take my case, but he was unable to devote the time to it due to its complexity. I thank him & his staff for their kindness and generosity. It was a pleasure.

    I can't believe how efficient he was. Mr. Cytryn was able to resolve my case better than I initially hoped for. I felt helpless until I hired him, then I knew everything was going to be ok. If you need a lawyer, he's your guy!

    Dan is The Man,,,,, second to none!

    Posted by

    As long as Dan Cytryn is in business he will be the only attorney I would ever go to. I'm not sure he will be so happy to see me, I don't handle legal things very well. Dan's office is professional from the time you walk in the door. The receptionists, para-legals, secretaries are all friendly, and have a way of making me feel less nervous, and very comfortable. I have known Mr. Cytryn since June of 1996, when my daughter was involved in a car accident, leaving her with a broken hip. As legal matters went he took the case, and all went well. No stress, for my daughter , he reviewed everything with her , before all depositions. April was 17 when the accident happened, Mr.Cytryn knows what he us doing, with ALL ages. If you need an attorney in Mr Cytryns field, don't shop around, just go for the best. Then he represented me when I was rear-ended by a drunk driver. As before all went great, I think for sure I drive him crazy, but after all these years, he knows what a spaz I am, and he still lets me in. I feel that Dan is down to earth, I can talk to him, and he knows what I am trying to convey in non-legal terms. The law firm is knowledgeable, hard working, always calls you and keeps you informed with any news. Thank you Dan Also, I needed a lawyer to help me with my Dads estate, power of attorny, etc. Mr. Cytryn referred me to Attorney Hume, excellent choice.

    Work Ethics!

    Dan is very professional always kept me informed of whats going on in my case. When I call Dan always comes to the phone to answer my question promptly. And when he takes your case really he really works hard for you!

    An Ethical Tenacious Professional

    Posted by

    Dan and his support staff stuck with us for over 4 years with an eventual favorable outcome... Dan took time to respond personally to emails and/or phone calls on several occasions. His courteous and professional staff treated us and our case with the utmost dignity even at the worst of times.

    I recommend highly!

    Posted by

    Incredible Lawyer! Helps in every way he can. I was glad and lucky to have them as my law firm! Thanks Dan for all your hard work. Also the staff is the best!!!

    I was nervous about the whole "hiring a lawyer" process...

    Posted by

    From the moment I first emailed Dan about my case, I knew that this was the team for me. I felt very at-ease with everyone in the office, everyone that I talked to. They made the final outcome not only successful, but they made entire process very interesting as well - a learning experience for me. They are very friendly, very open and honest, and very professional. I would most certainly recommend them to anyone. (they were so friendly that I was almost disappointed that the case was finished and our business was done)

    The best

    Dan and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are extremely professional, honest, knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to take care of their clients. They kept me well informed about my case and I always felt that I was in good hands. I have already recommended friends and family to Dan and will continue to do so in the future!

    Evan Ostfeld, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 14, 2020
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have worked with Dan Cytryn for over 20 years now. He is a top notch litigator in personal injury law. He and his firm takes care of its clients and try to maximize their recovery, even if it means going to trial. If you are looking for a law firm that will give you personal attention with proven results, then you've come to the right place! As such, I highly endorse The Law Offices of Cytryn and Velazquez.

    Martin Cohen

    Five years ago, I referred a nursing home negligence case to Dan Cytryn. I came to know Dan and his firm throughout the course of the proceedings and marveled as Cytryn & Velazquez carved through layers of corporate entities to pursue a claim against the ultimate parent corporation. The case was settled with an extremely satisfactory result for the plaintiffs. In forty-two years of law practice, I have rarely seen such extraordinary dedication, professionalism, technical skill and diligence, all in one package.
