I don't speak English well. Will I be able to communicate in your office?

Don’t worry. Our law firm employs Polish staff who perfectly understand the problems of the Polish community. When you call, just ask to speak with Maria. We will help you fill out documents, explain court papers, and be your voice in contacts with lawyers, so the language barrier does not exist at all.

Do I need to have legal status to recover money?

No. In the state of New York and New Jersey, labor courts and civil courts (in accident cases) do not take your immigration status into account. You have the right to payment for work performed and compensation for an accident, even if you work ‘under the table’. Our law firm protects your data and interests.

How much does a legal consultation with Attorney Ambinder cost?

The initial consultation is completely free. We operate on a “contingency fee” system, which means our fee is only a percentage of the won amount. We do not charge any upfront fees. If we don’t win money for you, you do not incur any legal service costs.

What documents do I need to bring to the first meeting?

Bring everything you have: paystubs, records of work hours (even those in a small calendar), photos from the workplace or accident scene, and medical documentation. If you don’t have something, don’t worry — Maria and our team will help you determine how to obtain the necessary evidence during the conversation.

Services

Unpaid overtime and rates

Do you work hard in Greenpoint or Maspeth? You deserve fair pay for every minute.

Employers often “forget” to pay overtime rates, lower minimum wages, or do not pay for time spent putting on work clothes. If your paycheck does not match the time worked, we will recover the difference along with interest. We represent waiters, construction workers, and caregivers.

Construction Accidents

Safety is the boss's duty. If they failed, we will fight for compensation.

A fall from scaffolding in Manhattan or being hit by a falling object is not your fault, but a result of health and safety negligence. We fight insurance companies for money for treatment, rehabilitation, and coverage of lost earnings. We know the specifics of New York construction sites.

Discrimination and harassment at work

No one has the right to harass or discriminate against you in the workplace.

Are you facing worse treatment due to your origin, gender, or age? Or are you experiencing unwanted behavior from a supervisor? The law in New York is on your side. We will help you break the silence and obtain financial compensation for the psychological harm suffered and loss of employment.

Medical Malpractice

When a doctor makes a mistake, you bear the consequences. We will help fix it.

A misdiagnosis, surgical error, or negligence in hospital care can ruin your health for life. Our legal team analyzes medical records and fights for justice for victims of medical malpractice in New York and New Jersey.
