Barton LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, California, Tennessee, and Virginia is comprised of an elite team of former partners of “Big Law” who have joined together to create a progressive law firm. To us, legal services are business services, and our attorneys and staff are business-people serving business clients to advance their business goals.

Our mission is to provide our sophisticated corporate, financial services, investment fund and entrepreneurial clients with the highest quality legal services delivered in an effective and efficient manner. We accomplish this because we are an organization that does not follow the traditional multi-layered and leveraged law firm model. We believe that a better product, value and client experience is achieved by providing our clients with highly skilled senior attorneys who work directly on their matters with appropriate support from a strong, but lean team of associate attorneys and staff.

We are committed to developing long-term relationships by partnering with our clients so that we thoroughly understand their organizations, objectives and long-term goals. We offer in-house training programs to our clients and take a proactive approach to reviewing clients’ business practices, contracts and relationships to avoid or reduce the incidents of litigation and risk whenever possible.

Our firm structure and experience allows us to offer a wide array of alternative fee arrangements. We understand that hourly billing is frequently not in our client’s best interest, nor does it necessarily represent the value of our services. Our clients provide their goods and services in a competitive marketplace, and yet they rarely, if ever, use an hourly based pricing model. We know that clients have to manage their resources and create efficiencies to stay within budget – and they want lawyers who are able to do the same.

Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek is a personal injury law firm in Midtown Manhattan. Our personal injury lawyers also take cases in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and throughout the rest of New York. Our injury lawyers assist injured clients throughout New York City and the surrounding areas. The partners at our firm originally came from the largest, most experienced, and most profitable law firms in New York. Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, P.C. was formed because we wanted to provide more personal attention to clients – something that could not be done at larger firms – while still obtaining large settlements and judgments. We strive to always provide aggressive legal assistance while supporting our clients after being injured in a serious accident.

While most cases do settle, our seasoned trial attorneys prepare every case as if it will proceed to trial. HKD has the resources and experience to try any case and win. Whether you were injured in a car accident, workplace accident, MTA accident claims, commercial truck accident, slip and fall accident, or another personal injury matter, our attorneys will fight for you to win. Our attorneys are especially experienced with construction accidents, such as dangerous job sites, injuries from falling objects, crane accidents, and scaffold accidents.

We get involved in a client’s case as soon as possible. In personal injury claims, insurance adjusters act quickly, hoping for a speedy settlement. Usually, these are low-ball offers made in the company’s best interests – not yours. Prompt action from an experienced attorney will ensure you are protected and that every detail of your accident is investigated.

Procrastination can lose a lawsuit, but at Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, P.C., we work on a contingency fee basis to reduce your risk. You are not responsible for any initial payment or costs during litigation, and all initial consultations are free. We only recover a fee upon the successful conclusion of your case.

With decades of experience and hundreds of millions of dollars recovered, if you or a loved one is suffering, Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, P.C. is ready to help. We can meet by appointment at our New York office, at home, or in the hospital. An attorney at our firm is available to assist you 24 hours a day, and seven days a week.

Vaslas Lepowsky & Hauss LLP is widely recognized as a premier litigation firm specializing in the defense of physicians, hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities. 

Weitz & Luxenberg is one of the premier plaintiff’s lawfirms in the nation. The largest mass tort and personal injury litigation lawfirm in New York, Weitz & Luxenberg is also one of the most successfulfirms nationally, having won over $17 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients from all 50 states.

The crowning achievement in the firm’s well-rounded and respected practice, Weitz & Luxenberg has won acclaim for its pioneering work in asbestos litigation. Clients attest to the firm’s reputation of excellence and trustworthiness – which it earns through a commitment to both cutting-edge legal work and old-fashioned principles.

Leaders in Asbestos Litigation

Established in 1986, Weitz & Luxenberg has developed one of the most successful asbestos litigation practices in the nation. The firm has fought on the sides of thousands of clients suffering from mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. The firm has litigation groups to assist clients harmed by environmental pollutants, defective drugs and medical devices, and negligent acts.

Weitz & Luxenberg’s attention to these clients is always dispensed on a personal, intimate level. The firm’s asbestos lawyers approach each client’s case with a fresh eye. Their elite legal team is able to walk a new client through the steps they need to take, all while listening to the client’s needs to determine which direction those steps should point.

This personalized approach is backed up by a powerful litigation engine. Weitz & Luxenberg’s asbestos practice is larger than that of many other firms who specialize in asbestos cases, and the firm’s lawyers hold leadership positions on many asbestos bankruptcy trusts, which comprise a combined $30 billion earmarked for compensating victims of asbestos.

What it boils down to is a firm with dozens of lawyers, locations in three major cities, and one goal: providing exemplary, custom-tailored legal service.

Flourishing Legal Practice

Weitz & Luxenberg’s considerable resources also extend to other major practice areas. The firm has litigation groups to assist clients harmed by environmental pollutants, defective drugs and medical devices, and negligent acts – including medical malpractice, traumatic injuries, and other accidents. Attorneys in these practice areas have obtained a number of remarkable legal successes for Weitz & Luxenberg’s clients.

Firm History

Weitz & Luxenberg was founded in 1986 by partners Perry Weitz and Arthur Luxenberg. One of their first court victories – a $75 million verdict for clients exposed to asbestos while working at the Brooklyn Navy Yard– was a historic case that changed the landscape of asbestos litigation.

The firm’s reputation has continued to grow in the interceding years – as has its access to top-flight resources. Weitz &Luxenberg currently has more than 85 attorneys in their New York, Los Angeles,and Cherry Hill, NJ offices. Weitz & Luxenberg lawyers are sought-after speakers for the asbestos bar, and even competing law firms ask Weitz& Luxenberg to handle many of their asbestos-related cases every year.

The firm continues to break ground with their legal work today. In a 2011 lung cancer case, Weitz & Luxenberg secured a $22 million verdict against Goodyear Tire & Rubber on behalf of two smokers who had been exposed to asbestos on the job.

Simply Excellent LegalService

Weitz & Luxenberg is well known for its elite legal work, but the strength of their commitment to their clients’ goals and communities is not to be overlooked.

The firm makes a point of telling clients to express their goals and concerns – which the firm then responds to by formulating legal strategies sensitive to those objectives. With those goals in mind, Weitz & Luxenberg is then equipped – perhaps as well as any plaintiff’s litigation law firm in the nation – to make those goals a reality.
