D'Orazio PetersonA Selective Law Firm for Serious Cases
D’Orazio Peterson was founded on a simple belief: not every case should be taken, but the right cases deserve everything we have.
For more than a decade, we have represented individuals and families in cases where the stakes are highest — nursing home neglect, podiatry malpractice, catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death and significant employment matters.
We are not a billboard firm. We don’t measure our work in volume. We carefully select the cases where our advocacy can make a true difference — and when we commit, we commit fully.
Practice AreasPersonal Injury • Employment Law
As you will see in looking at our practice areas, we consider ourselves a selective law firm for the most serious cases. We do not strive to be a general practice law firm, instead we focus on specific 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 as well as selective clients in Massachusetts and Vermont.
We limit our work to representation of clients in the following areas: severe nursing home neglect or abuse; podiatry errors and severe foot injuries; catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death; and severe employment discrimination/harassment.
If you fall within one of these categories, we urge you to contact us for a free consultation
How We Can Help YouWhat Makes Us Different
Our Philosophy: Dignity-First Advocacy
- Dignity Matters: Every case we take is about more than money — it’s about protecting human dignity.
- Selectivity: We deliberately limit the number of cases we handle so every client gets the attention they deserve.
- Accountability: By pursuing systemic negligence — in nursing homes, hospitals, or worksites — we drive real change.
Why Clients and Colleagues Trust Us
- Proven Results: From significant nursing home neglect settlements to deserving catastrophic injury recoveries.
- Trial Experience: We prepare every case as if it will be tried before a jury.
- Referral Relationships: Other lawyers regularly co-counsel with us, knowing their clients will receive focused, dignified representation.
- Personal Attention: Our clients aren’t numbers. They’re families who trust us during the most difficult moments of their lives.
Our Commitment
We can’t take every case. But when we do, it’s because the case matters — to you, to your family, and to the broader community.
That commitment is what sets us apart.
