Our roots date back to 1956 when our father founded the law firm then known as Joachim and Flanzig. Starting his practice on lower Broadway in New York City his firm continued to grow. The firm eventually moved out to Long Island and several years later found a home at 323 Willis Avenue where it existed for over 25 years. That firm now dissolved, today we continue in our fathers footsteps, operating out of the same office, now with additional locations for client meetings in Manhattan and Queens, we follow in his same dedication and desire to meet our clients needs. As our firm has expanded to new areas of law, including bike and cycling accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, construction accidents, and other job related injuries.

Our firm's reputation as aggressive trial attorneys with a wealth of resources, experience and willingness to try our cases, places us in a unique position as being one of the most aggressive and well respected personal injury trial firms in the New York Metropolitan Area. Whether it is the simplest of auto accidents to complex litigation, our firm is ready to take a verdict

Our own personal experiences help shape our firm. Daniel's experience as an Emergency Medical Technician as well as in the area of Federal Law Enforcement has increased our ability to handle the cases of uniformed officers, Fire Fighters and other first responder injuries.

What sets us apart....

There are plenty of personal injury lawyers in the New York Metropolitan area. So why should you choose Flanzig and Flanzig? We believe that our firm combines the experience and expertise of larger firms with the personal attention of a boutique practice. Our firm is highly selective in the cases we handle and prepare every matter as if it is going to trial. We do not combine our firm with other areas of practice such as real estate or criminal defense. We are 100% focused in the area of personal injury litigation.

This history and dedication pays off. The insurance companies and defendants attorneys know that we are prepared to try our cases in the courthouses of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties. This allows us to obtain the maximum recoveries for our clients.

Most of our clients are referred to us by our firms former clients who know they have received the best possible results and attention.
