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.

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.
