What sets O’Dwyer & Bernstien apart from other law firms?

Our legal team brings its broad experience to cases involving individual workers and labor unions, routinely practicing before agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board and Public Employment Relations Board.

Your case will be in the hands of a lawyer with the skills necessary to obtain the best possible result for you. Every member of our team has more than 15 years of experience in his or her area of focus. A partner will be in charge of your case, never pushing you off to a paralegal or inexperienced associate.

For over a century, we have been one of New York’s pre-eminent litigation firms, providing quality representation in the fields of personal injury, labor relations, employee benefits and administrative/ government law to thousands of clients in New York City.

While we achieve significant results for our clients, we maintain the feel of a high-quality "boutique" legal practice and carry on the beliefs of our founders Paul O'Dwyer, William O'Dwyer, and Oscar Bernstien.

At O'Dwyer & Bernstien, every case is handled by an attorney with over fifteen years of experience, not a paralegal. This approach has earned our clients over half a billion dollars in verdicts and settlements.

When an individual has been injured, we pay careful attention to detail throughout the lawsuit process to ensure the best possible outcomes. From the initial meeting to case investigation, collecting medical data and lawsuit negotiations we are here to answer any questions you may have.
