Areas of Practice

We specialize in worker's compensation, social security disability, and business law. We are here because of our attentiveness, expertise, and professionalism in working with our clients to achieve the respect and success they deserve.

Worker's Compensation

With decades of established experience and success, we provide legal aid for workplace injury and negotiate NYS worker's compensation settlements. Accidents at work may include falls and unsafe products or machinery. Sossen is adamant in acquiring the worker's compensation you are owed.

Social Security Disability

We are skilled in social security law and are diligent representatives at disability hearings to ensure that our clients are receiving what is appropriate to what they have earned.

Personal Injury

We are discerning experts in personal injury and offer the purposeful legal aid to assist our clients in rebuilding and improving their lives. Personal injury includes automobile accidents, accidental falls, unsafe products, construction site accidents, including falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs, and incidents causing fractures, burns, scars and back injuries.

Business & Commercial Law

We are highly knowledgeable and perceptive in business law, and offer the legal advice necessary to create strong incorporations, contracts, and shareholder and partnership agreements.

Other Areas of Practice

Our specialities extend to criminal and traffic representation, DWI, misdemeanors, felonies, family law and divorce, and child support. Whichever the case, we approach it thoughtfully and engage with our attentive and aggressive legal aid.
