LAW partners successfully settled a Hurricane Sally Claim for  $10,200,000.

LAW partners successfully settled a Hurricane Irma Claim for  $5,000,000.

At the commencement of jury selection Charles Arnold just recently successfully settled the case of an innocent 25-year-old woman who suffered life-altering injuries as the result of being run over by a 3-ton SUV. The case was fully litigated up to trial in Queens County. All trial preparation including a jury focus group research trial was completed. Only when the insurance companies realized that LAW was ready to proceed to a verdict did they increase their initial settlement offer of $1,000,000 dollars.

LAW partner Charles Arnold successfully represented an individual that was nearly crushed to death by falling construction equipment. The injuries included compartment syndrome, crush injuries, surgery and traumatic brain injury. The case was incredibly complex and led to several years of litigation in State Supreme Court before it was successfully settled.

LAW partners successfully settled a NY Construction Accident Case for  $2,900,000 million.

LAW partner Frank P. Winston successfully tried a medical malpractice case in which an Onondaga County jury found the defendant liable for his failure to timely diagnose the Plaintiff’s prostate cancer. The jury ultimately awarded Plaintiffs $2.575 million, the precise amount requested by Mr. Winston in his closing argument to the jury.

LAW partners successfully settled a  New York First Party Property Damage – Code Upgrade Dispute for $2,350,000.00 

LAW partner Frank P. Winston represented a Bronx property developer in an action involving property damage, caused by adjacent construction, to two (2) residential apartment buildings. The Plaintiff received a total of $2.18 million in the resolution of its claims. The award included $528,952 paid by the insurance company during LAW’s representation of the Plaintiff prior to suit and $1.66 million paid arising from successful mediation. The award represented compensation not only for the damages sustained to the subject buildings, caused by adjacent property construction at 630 Concord Avenue, but also for tenant relocation costs, lost rent, interest on construction loans and lost tax credits.

LAW partner Johnathan Lerner recovered $2.1 million in damages on behalf of his client whose property sustained significant water damage when frozen pipes burst as a result of inadequate winterization of the plumbing system. Mr. Lerner successfully argued that the alleged “run down” condition of the property did not constitute sufficient evidence of a pre-existing condition that warranted exclusion from insurance coverage.

LAW Partner Charles M. Arnold represented a 23-year old pedestrian who suffered multiple broken bones, surgeries and permanent neurological injury. The case involved an intersection collision involving a NYPD vehicle and a private van. The victim, a pedestrian, was completely innocent walking to the subway with the traffic lights. The case was nevertheless quite challenging due to the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law provisions granting police vehicles special privileges and requiring injured plaintiffs to show recklessness. However, due to Mr. Arnold’s extensive knowledge of NY Vehicle and Traffic Law and tireless investigation of every detail of the accident, the defendants were still forced to settle the case before trial.

    • So, my story is a long one, and it wasn’t easy finding someone to listen to my account. When I first reached out to this firm, Lynn treated me with patience and empathy. I had spent a month not moving while my ribs healed and had countless calls with law firms that were only vaguely interested. Lynn took the time to talk to me and not patronize me. As a marketing professional, I can tell when someone is qualifying a lead or genuinely wants to help. The NYPD officer at the accident scene never finished the police report after 30 days, and if it weren’t for Lynn’s guidance, they would have kept giving me the run around for another month. I could not thank her and the staff at LAW enough for getting me going in the right direction. Charles, my attorney, was friendly, professional, and open to listening to my barrage of questions and answering my page-long email rants. He was always an email or call away. My case was settled, and the best possible outcome was secured. Thank you to Charles, Lynn, and the fantastic people at LAW.

    • Frank Winton recently represented my mother’s estate. He was extremely professional, thorough, and an excellent communicator in all matters regarding the case. Prior to my mother’s passing, and during her illness, he showed the utmost compassion and understanding as we went through trying times. I highly recommend Frank for any and all legal matters you may need assistance with.

    • Frank Winston represented my husband and I when our home caught fire from a neighboring home. Our insurance did not want to cover the damage from a fire that was due to no fault of our own.

      Frank never gave up fighting for us, especially when the insurance company made it IMPOSSIBLE to make any progress on our repairs – Frank kept pushing for us and our growing family. Over the course of the almost 2-year fight, Frank kept in tight connection with me and kept me updated. He never let up, never let my case fall to the wayside, and never stopped fighting until my family got what we needed to be made whole again.

      Frank wasn’t just a great lawyer; he was also a great support system throughout the entire situation. When I was upset, frustrated, or did not understand he fully explained to me what was going on, next steps, and advised me on how to properly handle the situation.

      If a friend, family member, and/or colleague ever asks me who to call in a legal situation, it would be Frank. Hopefully, we don’t have any other unfortunate events happen to us where we need a lawyer again, but if so, I will definitely seek Frank out again.

    • If you are in need of a personal injury attorney, there is no one better than Charles Arnold. Charles represented my husband in a complicated case. He set realistic expectations, communicated with us on all aspects of the case, and settled our claim in a timely fashion. I believe that the years of experience that Charles has enables him to successfully adjudicate on behalf of his clients. Not to mention, he is a terrific person and treated us with the utmost care and concern.

    • Meeting Frank Winston was one of the best things that happened to my mom and I. She was injured and we had no idea what to do next. Based on a referral we met him and both of us felt completely comfortable. Frank was completely transparent with us and always made sure we understood what was the next step and why?
      Even after the case was over he still called my mom just to see how she was doing.

      If you’re in need of a personal injury attorney… please do not look any further. He’s a very honest and hard-working individual.

    • There are many experienced personal injury & property damage law firms in NYC, but there are only a very few firms other attorneys call for help when it comes to their own family and friends. Lerner, Arnold, & Winston, LLC is one of those firms. The owners of the firm (John, Charles, & Frank) are the type of attorneys who other attorneys trust 100% to take care of complex legal cases without forgetting the importance of guiding clients through the personal emotional challenges they’ll face along the way. John, Charles, and Frank are the attorneys who you want on your side as well as by your side when times are difficult. I know this because I have personally seen Lerner, Arnold, and Winston in action (as co-counsel) and I have referred clients, friends, and family members to them on many occasions. All have been very thankful for the sincere care for their well-being, the high-level of expertise, and the natural kindness they received from all members of the firm. I have known Lerner, Arnold, & Winston very well for many years. I hope you never need their help. But, if you do, you’ll be in one of the safest & strongest pair of attorney hands in NYC.

Being prior law enforcement I know the necessity of a good lawyer and I was not disappointed. Thank you for helping me when I needed it.

He’s very experienced, and guides his clients through the complications of fighting with the insurance industry….we wholeheartedly recommend Frank and his firm if you should need someone of his caliber and experience to help you get the results you’re looking for.
