Lamonsoff, of one of the largest New York law firms concentrating in the representation of victims of personal injury, medical malpractice, and police abuse. Mr Lamonsoff’s and his firm’s, no-holds barred litigation strategy and unyielding negotiation style has led to his firm’s obtaining some of the highest verdicts and settlements in New York history. Although, no case is too big or small for his firm, Mr. Lamonsoff and his firm are renowned for representing some of the highest profile cases in New York as well as other states including the representation of many of the families of the victims of the tragic American Airlines Flight 587 disaster in which all aboard the doomed 747 airliner died. He represents many of the victims of the Empire State Building shootings, the Harlem Gas explosion and train disasters of Metro North in New York, Connecticut and Halifax North Carolina in which scores of people were injured and killed. Mr. Lamonsoff also represents Fernando Bermudez, who was falsely imprisoned for 18 years for a murder he did not commit, obtaining the highest award against the State in New York History. Mr. Lamonsoff is a regular in the media. He has made countless television appearances and has been interviewed and widely quoted in the print press regarding both the high profile cases handled by the firm and as a legal expert in many other matters. His appearances can be found on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision and Telemundo, as well various local networks like NY1, MY9, Channel 10, News 12 and 1010 WINS. He has also been interviewed and quoted in the print press including the New York Times, Newsday, Daily News, the Village Voice and the New York Post as well as being featured in magazines, such as Closer. Internationally he has appeared on German and Chinese national television and in international publications. While the vast majority of cases settle, Mr. Lamonsoff believes in preparing every case for trial. When asked what his secret to success is, Michael Lamonsoff doesn’t hesitate to say, “Winning. I love to win and my clients love me for it.”
