"Essential qualities of good quality services are standard practices at Dansker & Aspromonte."

It’s my pleasure to share my experiences with Dansker & Aspromonte Associates. From my initial meeting with an attorney through to the end of my time with the firm the quality of services was exceptional. All contacts with the firm via phone and in person were professional and I was prepared each step of the way to manage outside appointments and any contacts with opposing counsel. Essential qualities of good quality services are standard practices at Dansker & Aspromonte. Exceptional in every way. A more appropriate rating for the firm is ten stars! Quality at its best!!!

"I highly recommend Dansker & Aspromonte Associates to anyone who has been injured or hurt in an accident."

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the attorneys at Dansker & Aspromonte for their expertise and support in representing my case. My case had not been sufficiently reviewed by attorneys at two other law firms, and when I contacted the attorneys at Dansker & Aspromonte, they were able to successfully recover more funds for my injuries than I expected. I’ve worked closely with Sal Aspromonte and Douglas Hoffer and they were both efficient in going over the details of my case from beginning to end, answering all my questions and concerns as needed. The firm’s staff has also been professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Dansker & Aspromonte Associates to anyone who has been injured or hurt in an accident.

"If I could list 10 stars in rating I would they were compassionate, courteous, and pleasant always. I felt like part of their family."

I just wanted to say a few words about the firm Dansker & Aspromonte, in regards to my case with their firm. If I could list 10 stars in rating I would they were compassionate, courteous, and pleasant always. The staff was professional at all times. Mr. Doug Hoffer was there for me every step of the way explaining everything from beginning to end. I felt like part of their family, I will miss being in contact with them, that is how understanding they were to all my needs. Mr. Sal Aspermonte was a gem, I probably drove him crazy, never once did he not answer my calls and get back to me, if not he would have a staff member take care of what I needed. As far as I am concerned if anyone ever needs a law firm for their needs Dansker & Aspromonte by far is the one to go with. My final words to this review are I am not just saying this just to say it I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart. Wishing all at Dansker & Aspermonte a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year & Hanukkah.

"Your ability speaks for itself and you worked meticulously with all of your heart and conscientiousness."

Today is February 8, 2023 and it is the happiest day of my life. First, I would like to thank the attorneys and staff at D&A Associates for helping me to fight for the highest compensation. Your ability speaks for itself and you worked meticulously with all of your heart and conscientiousness. Your attorneys’ work capability greatly moved me. I was compensated for all the suffering I experienced throughout the years. At first, I thought I would be treated differently due to my skin color and race, but I was wrong. My family and I are very satisfied with the result. Even though we have a language barrier you have high quality staff who translated all the details for me and I am highly satisfied, every procedure was performed accordingly. We have been to the firm numerous times and was always treated like family. I don’t know anything about the law, but your staff always explain everything to me and I am very grateful for that. It’s been 7 years since my accident and there were some unhappy times in between, but you resolved all the issues for me, helped me fight to safeguard my life, helped me minimize the stress in everyday life, which made my life more relaxed. This is due to your meritorious service, which gave my life guarantee. My family and I want to express our greatest gratitude to your legal team.

"The attorney I had was so nice, he worked with me step by step on my case."

This was the best decision I could have made with this firm. Because they listened to what I had to say, made me feel at home. Very comfortable setting. The attorney I had was so nice, he worked with me step by step on my case. Emailed me, called me. They were so professional I went to other law firms before and they wouldn’t even listen to me, nor take my case. I was so disappointed. But Dansker & Aspromonte Associates, they sat me down and told me the truth. This is not going to be easy, but we will take your case and do our best to help you out. And that is what they did. They did a wonderful job. I was so happy with the settlement they got me. And I would recommend this firm to anyone!!!!!!!

C.H

"Sought representation from the only one firm I trusted and retained Dansker & Aspromonte once again."

I was referred to Dansker & Aspromonte in 1993 when I had my first accident in a slip & fall and have since remained a happy & satisfied client of the firm. I have worked closely with Doug Hoffer and found that he & the firm’s first priority is the client’s best interest! This was probably one of the longest suits but during those years I’ve come to know each and everyone of the attorneys at the firm and have not only grown a client/attorney relationship but also developed a trusting client/attorney friendship relationship and this to me is very important. In 2013 I was in another accident and sought representation from the only one firm I trusted and retained Dansker & Aspromonte once again. I cannot express just how professional Doug, Paul, Sal & their assistants all are. My experience with the firm has been pleasant, professional, diligent, courteous and high expertise. I will continue to refer clients and continue to be their client faithfully should I ever need their services again.

"If you’re reading this review, allow this office to handle your case you won’t regret it ."

Choosing the office of Dansker & Aspromonte Associates was one of the beat decisions my parents made . Each and every person I came across at this office was respectful and caring.

Thank you for everything. If you’re reading this review, allow this office to handle your case you won’t regret it .

Dansker & Aspromonte represented me in a trip and fall case. They’ve negotiated a fair settlement for me, thus saving time and money for both parties to the case. They were very professional, and didn’t charge me a penny until the settlement was paid. I highly recommend this firm for your personal injury litigation needs.

V.O

"I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case."

I highly recommend Dansker & Aspromonte for personal injury cases, in particular Sal Aspromonte. They provide a more personal and genuine experience of a boutique firm, while they also offer and deliver the legal knowledge, expertise, services, and results like a larger firm. While my injuries were extremely stressful for me, my anxiety was alleviated knowing I could rely on this well-respected firm to handle everything efficiently, to listen to my concerns / questions, and to make themselves available whenever I needed. They were on my side and fighting for my best interests from the beginning to the conclusion of the case, and I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case.

D.P

"They worked hard for my family to get the justice we deserved."

They are the best in the industry. They worked hard for my family to get the justice we deserved. I was very comfortable working with them, they made me feel like they were family. Always attentive, kind and responsive. I still feel like I need to call them for the holidays!

M.F

"Mr. Hoffer stood firm & got me a very favorable settlement."

I actually was referred to this firm due to an injury I sustained crossing the street. I met an attorney in particular, named Douglas Hoffer who worked on my case feverishly. The other party tried their best to pawn off responsibility, but Mr. Hoffer stood firm & got me a very favorable settlement. This firm is the real deal!!! It almost seemed as if they took it personally that I was being dismissed. This is what you want in anyone that is representing you. I will recommended this firm to anyone that feel that they need a strong voice to back their rightful claim.

T.M

Everyone who helped work on my case was always so thorough, responsive, patient, and courteous. They made sure to answer every question or concern I had, and worked hard getting everything they needed for a strong case. We couldn’t have been happier with Dansker & Aspromonte!!

"My family was very happy with the settlement that Ray negotiated for us."

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this law firm and the caring people who work there. Sal Aspromonte is a gem. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. My family felt at ease from the moment we met him, as we did with Ray Maceira, the associate who handled my mother’s case, and Miriam, who handled so many details for us.Everyone at Dansker & Aspromonte treated my 80-year-old mother with such respect and consideration. They went out of their way to accommodate my mom’s special needs. They were warm and sincere. We felt that they really cared about her.My family was very happy with the settlement that Ray negotiated for us. He knew his stuff! I would highly recommend this law firm, and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if I ever need to.

"They were very supportive and understood that this was my first experience at doing something like this and it was certainly out of my comfort zone."

I was engaged in a law suit and Dansker and Aspromonte represented me. From the very beginning they were very supportive and understood that this was my first experience at doing something like this and it was certainly out of my comfort zone. There were many times I thought of walking away because of the stress of it all, but they remained invested in me and the case. I would recommend them highly and encourage other people to place their trust in them.

Baby S was born with a congenital hip dislocation which was not anyone’s fault. However, malpractice occurred when the doctors and hospital did not recognize the condition after she was born. Their failure to diagnose and properly treat the condition resulted in a slight but permanent deformity.
Julio, 16, was an outpatient at the Manhattan Children’s Psychiatric Hospital where he attended school and got psychiatric counseling and supportive therapy every day. The NYC Board of Ed operated the school. One day after school, Julio ran after his bus, which was leaving without him. He slipped and was run over by the back wheels, sustaining severe injuries, including bilateral hip fractures and a shearing injury to his buttocks. Board of Ed rules required that Julio was to be escorted to the bus. The NYCTA denied liability, claiming they weren’t negligent because Julio ran after the bus. The City denied liability because they claimed the school day was over. At trial, both the Board of Ed who had knowledge of Julio’s poor impulse control and was required to put him safely on the bus, and the NYCTA whose bus driver saw Julio running and made no effort to slow or stop the bus were found to be responsible.
Baby Taylor C. – Taylor’s mother had gained over 50 pounds during the pregnancy, was past due, and had a prolonged first stage and second stage of delivery. These are warning signs of an overly large baby. Baby Taylor was 9 lbs. 13 oz. Instead of delivery by C-section, which was clearly indicated, the attending physician elected a natural birth. When the baby was stuck in the pelvic area, excessive force was used to pull her out, injuring the nerves in her neck and causing partial paralysis of her left arm. The condition is known as Erbs Palsy. The case was settled during the trial. Fortunately, Baby Taylor’s injury improved over time.
Ayisha W- A young girl slid down a sliding pond in the playground of an NYC school. The slide was not installed properly and there was a gap between the metal on the side of the slide. As Ayisha slid down, her ring finger went into the gap and the top of it was cut off. The City argued that since it was just the tip of her finger it was not worth much money. At trial, it was proved that Ayisha had a devastating emotional reaction that affected every aspect of her life and self-esteem. The jury agreed.
A 46-year-old carpenter was working on a straight ladder which had been leaned against the wall on a jobsite. He fell when the ladder slipped away from the wall. As a result, he suffered facial injuries and a fractured knee that required surgery. The property owner and general contractor were found to be responsible because Jian S. should have been provided with a more suitable A-frame ladder or scaffolding.
A 30-year-old carpenter who was working at a job site in a retail store fell from a ladder onto both feet. He suffered bilateral calcaneus fractures requiring multiple surgeries.
An undocumented Mexican immigrant working on scaffolding at a construction site fell 30 feet onto the cement. He fractured his skull and vertebrae in his neck and back. It was shown at trial that the company he worked for failed to provide him with a safety line, which would have prevented his fall.
Following a 4- story fall, a construction worker at a West 17th Street construction site in Manhattan recently won a $5.5 million dollar settlement from the general contractor and building owner for failing to provide him with a safe workplace. Defendants had argued that the fall was the result of the 56 year old construction worker’s own carelessness but Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP lawyers were able to prove otherwise. As a result of his fall, the construction worker suffered fractures of his shoulder, clavicle, ribs and hip, as well as internal injuries which required multiple surgeries. These injuries required home care which was primarily provided by his wife who also received a payment of $500,000 as part of the settlement. To minimize their own responsibility, the general contractor and building owner claimed that the worker had made an excellent recovery when he had not. In order to prove the case, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP retained 5 separate experts to illustrate the full extent of the worker’s injuries and the disabling effect they would have over the course of his life.
Maria, a housekeeper, was walking across Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn in the crosswalk when she was struck by a school bus and thrown over 25 feet. She sustained severe injuries, including multiple fractures. The bus driver claimed that he had a green light and was travelling at a safe speed. Unfortunately, Mrs. S. could not recall any of the facts of the accident. Our investigator combed the area for witnesses. He found a woman who lived on the sixth floor of an adjacent apartment building. Although she didn’t see the accident, she happened to look out her window and saw Maria’s body lying in the roadway down the street. Using this testimony, our accident reconstruction expert was able to prove that the bus had to be speeding to knock Maria that far from the crosswalk. The case was settled immediately after that testimony.
Our client was a married NYC Parks Department employee. On a snowy night in Staten Island, he was preparing his truck to spread salt on the roadways. He drove the spreader truck to the salt storage yard. As he waited alongside his truck, the operator of a front loader truck used to place the salt in the spreader lost control of the loading bucket. Sadly, he was struck by the bucket, suffered massive injuries and died in the hospital several hours later.
A 21-year-old developmentally disabled Chinese boy was walking with some friends after school when he stepped out into the crosswalk against the light and a City bus which was turning a little too close to the corner struck him. The young man had crippling injuries which prevented him from leaving the hospital where he died several months later. Despite the fact that eyewitnesses said the boy stepped into the street against the light, the law reduces an injured person’s share of liability in accordance with their mental capacity. At trial, it was proven through a guidance counselor from his school that he was intellectually comparable to a seven-year-old. Thereafter, the jury determined that this young man was not legally responsible for his actions and awarded 100% in his favor on the liability portion of the trial
In one of the most tragic cases this office has seen, two mothers and their four teenagers were driving to a high school swimming meet on the New York State Thruway in a van. When the driver suspected a flat tire, instead of pulling over onto the shoulder, the mother of two of the children inexplicably stopped the van in the right moving lane of traffic. Within a very short time, the driver of a tanker truck traveling at a steady 65 miles an hour who claimed not to see the stopped van, struck it at full speed, literally cutting the van in half. There were two survivors with grave injuries and four fatalities. We secured the maximum insurance that was available to cover these claims.
