Firm Profile

Powers & Santola, LLP

New York Medical Negligence Attorneys
A Nationwide Practice

Founded in 1987, our firm has built a reputation for excellence by devoting our full attention and resources to a limited number of very seriously injured clients.

The majority of our practice is based in New York State. However, for medical negligence claims involving a failure to diagnose cancer, our lawyers are available to represent clients in all of the U.S. jurisdictions that recognize the "loss of a chance" doctrine.

Why Do We Limit the Number of Cases We Take?

No matter how many attorneys you have or how well funded you are as a law firm, the amount of time you can give to your clients is a finite resource. Your reputation in the legal community depends on the level of service you provide, and the successes you deliver to the people you represent.

If you accept too many cases or if you accept cases without significant merit, you do a disservice to your clients, the legal system and society as a whole.

When we agree to represent someone, we make a commitment that our services will fundamentally change that person's life for the better. And to make that commitment meaningful, we have found that there is simply no substitute for focusing our skills, efforts and other resources on helping a select group of clients.

What Can You Expect From Us as a Client?

First, if we are willing to accept your case and you agree to enlist our firm, a team of two attorneys, a paralegal and a legal secretary will be assigned to work with you and for you at every stage. This ensures that no matter when you call, someone who personally knows your case will be available to talk to you about your questions or concerns.

Second, to achieve the goal of full compensation and a final result that truly addresses all of your needs, we prepare cases for trial from the very start. This approach, combined with our track record of actually taking cases to trial and winning, sends a clear message to defense counsel and often leads to out-of-court settlements that meet our clients' needs.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Whatever happened or should have happened or did not happen, getting to the truth of the matter is our first goal. This is true not only for legal reasons, but for emotional and psychological reasons as well. We know this.

We can help you find the answers you need. To talk with us about a delayed diagnosis of cancer lawsuit, call our New York State offices toll free from anywhere in the U.S. at 866.733.2326 or contact us online.
