Beginning as a one-man operation over 20 years ago,  D’Agostino & Associates

                  has grown  to become one of Staten Island’s largest law firms

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – There is little doubt that seven-figure personal-injury settlements have added to D’Agostino & Associates’ reputation as a hard-fighting law firm that gets results.

Jonathan D’Agostino’s law firm, which he started nearly 21 years ago as a one-man operation, today includes a team of 30 legal professionals.

But cases needn’t have seven-figure potential to qualify for the first-rate representation offered by the  Staten Island, N.Y.-based practice.

“It’s not about a presumption of huge settlements that drives my team; it’s about people who need our help,” said Jon D’Agostino, founder of the firm. “We don’t discriminate against smaller cases as some firms do. Whether you’re case is worth $5 million or $5,000, we’ll do what it takes to get it for you as quickly as possible.”

The family-inspired catalyst for the success of D’Agostino & Associates, which is marking its 21st year, began a generation earlier in the wake of a devastating construction-site accident that resulted in D’Agostino’s father losing a limb.

“A family’s well-being can be put on hold in the blink of an eye,” D’Agostino said. “I experienced this first-hand in the aftermath of my father’s injury. It’s the lawyer’s responsibility to work as hard as possible to ensure each client is fairly compensated and families are put at ease, regardless of whether they are dealing with a fractured toe, devastating injury or the loss of a loved one.”

TOP-DOLLAR RECOVERY AND MORE

D’Agostino & Associates views fighting for a top-dollar recovery as the bare minimum of its responsibilities to clients.

“Just as important,” D’Agostino said, “is the need to be there for our clients, from beginning to end; keeping them informed and updated, and solving other legal issues that may arise.”

D’Agostino  & Associates’ Web site provides clients with convenient access to updates on their cases and the ability to communicate with the firm’s staff throughout the day. 

RECENT SETTLEMENTS

Some of D’Agostino & Associates’ law suit settlements most recently have included:

  • $6.1 million for a confidential matter related to a motor vehicle accident.
  •  $2.5 million for a construction worker injured on a jobsite.
  •  $750,000 for a client who was knocked to the ground and sustained serious injuries while loading steel beams on a construction site.
  • $725,000 for the family of an elderly woman who was struck and killed by a van.
  •  $725,000 for a seriously injured client whose vehicle was struck in the rear.
  • $150,000 for a client who required surgery for injuries to her neck and back after slipping on liquid near the cash registers of a K-mart store on Staten Island.
  •  $1.3 million for a child attacked by a Rottweiller
  •  $270,000 for a woman injured in a car accident

30 LEGAL PROFESSIONALS

What began nearly 21 years ago as a one-man operation, D’Agostino & Associates is now a firm comprised of 30 legal professionals who are trained to work knowledgeably and aggressively on behalf of clients.

“We’ve grown quite a bit in both size and caseload, but we’ve kept the focus on tailoring our representation to the  client’s needs,” D’Agostino said. “I still make it a point to answer the phone myself whenever possible, and I provide my personal cell number and e-mail address to clients in order to make certain they can reach me when they need me.”

When a client hires D’Agostino & Associates, files are not assigned to just one attorney.

“When you retain us, you retain the experience of our entire firm – and we address your legal needs one on one,” D’Agostino said.

ADDITIONAL LEGAL SERVICES

In addition to personal injury, D’Agostino & Associates handles Social Security disability hearings and appeals; worker’s compensation third- party claims; medical malpractice; no-fault matters, and criminal defense.

D’Agostino & Associates is headquartered at 3309 Richmond Ave., with additional offices in Tompkinsville; Manhattan; Brooklyn, and Redbank and Freehold, N.J.
