D'Orazio PetersonShaping Your Best Outcome
Life changing events happen. You cannot rewind time and plan better, stop a devastating injury to yourself or a family member, or stop severe sexual harassment. What you can do is learn what to do to protect yourself. Your family. And then take action. That’s where we come in. We believe in educating individuals about their legal rights and the complex legal process before they hire a lawyer. Once hired, we empower our clients to protect their family legacy and stand up for their rights against large institutions and insurance companies when things go wrong. Along the way we use our knowledge and experience to advocate for and guide our clients towards making the right decisions for themselves and their families.
Practice AreasPersonal Injury • Employment Law
As you will see in looking at our practice areas, we limit our practice to representation of individuals in personal injury/medical errors and employment discrimination lawsuits. We do not strive to be a general practice law firm, instead we focus on plaintiff-side practice areas and strive to excel in only those areas.
We’re local to Saratoga Springs, but we’re proud to serve all of New York State. If you’ve been wrongfully terminated from a job, are being harassed at work, have suffered injuries or believe that your family member is being neglected or abused at a hospital or nursing home anywhere in the state, we urge you to contact us for a free consultation
Every law firm will tell you that they have many years of “combined experience”, or that they’ve collected “millions” for clients, or that they offer “free consultations”. We can say that too, but we don’t think it’s helpful to you.
- We only represent individuals, families and small, local businesses.
Not big companies or insurance companies. Ever. - We are not a large firm mill. Intentionally.
We both started our careers in large law firms and decided long ago to stay small. We accept a small number of cases and focus on them. This means that your case will not be dumped onto someone else. - Other lawyers trust us…
…to refer their friends, family, and clients with Estate Planning and employment and serious injury matters. This often includes lawyers who have been on the opposite side of us in the past. Referrals make up the majority of our business. - We are married, to each other.
Because of that we very much take a family approach to our law firm and to our clients. Clients are not numbers to us; they are an extension of our family and we take that seriously.
