Client Testimonials

I was 29 years old and things were not looking good for me as my back was severely injured from a construction accident. I was facing a life with a marked physical disability and unable to work, but things changed for the better the moment I called Ken Halperin. I knew then it was going to be alright as Ken was my relentless advocate every step of the way with his cool and calm personality. Ultimately we won a settlement that gave me financial security and a new beginning. I can't thank Ken and everyone from Wingate Russotti and Shapiro enough because without all their hard work this settlement would have never gotten done.

-Daniel L.

Ken Halperin and his legal team have gone above and beyond expectations representing me in my personal injury case. From beginning to end, Ken's consistent commitment and personal attention gave me the confidence to know that I was in good hands.

I wholeheartedly recommend Wingate, Rusotti and Shapiro to anyone who is in need of first class personal injury legal representation.

Mr. Russotti, I just had to let you know that all of jurors on the L & J.D. case throught you did a wonderful job. We also felt the judge was not fair with you, but you kept your cool for most of the time. Your expert witnesses were the best, some to long winded and one who thought he was a comedian. It was also very nice that the judge, all the lawyers and the D.'s came and spoke to us, it helped in understanding some things. Talking to the D.'s was very rewarding to hear what sweet people they are and knowing that they are such caring parents. you and your firm deserve all the credit for the outcome of this case. This surely was an education to us, not only on the medical side but also the legal side. We are sure you find winning a case like this very rewarding. We are also sure the D.'s could not have picked a better for J. Again best of luck in your future, and please relay to the D.'s we will always be thinking of them.

Sincerely,
many of the jurors

Dear Phil,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you properly for you extraordinary efforts and special treatment on my behalf. When you informed me of the Appellate Court's decision, I was completely stunned and did not verbally convey to you my deepest gratitude.

I fully understand that the Court's decision is based on teh inability to prove a structural defect in the ladder, at the same time; I want to assure you that I am steadfast in my conviction that the ladder gave way through no fault of my own.

From the onset of this process, wonderful Bill Hepner and your entire staff welcomed me and made me comfortable through every phase. My initial reluctance in initiating this law suit was quelled by their professionalism, guidance and genuine concern.

Please extend to them my sincerest thanks. I shall never forget the kindnesses you extended toward my Husband, E. and myself. We truly appreciate your efforts on our behalf and will always treasure your friendship.

With heartfelt gratitude,
E.C.

Dear Cliff:

I am in grateful receipt of the settlement check for the suit regarding my accident of early last year.

Equally gratifying is the knowledge that the sidewalk on which I tripped was satisfactorily repaired, thus eliminating the likelihood that in time someone else would have been injured with more devastating effects. I walk past there twice a week on my way to work and mentally celebrate the fact that right was done - to borrow the words of Terence Rattigan's wonderful play, The Winslow Boy.

Thank you so much for your good efforts to ensure that right would be done!

With best regards,
W.L.

Attorney Testimonials

Phil,

I received the "Update" you were kind enough to send me outlining some of your cases. I must say you look quite impressive in the accompanying photo. Of course, I have been tracking your progress in the jury verdict reports which your name appears regularly.

I am sure you know that J.M. died. I recall very well that J. believed you had the potential to be one of the best trial lawyers who ever passed through our firm. He was shown to be correct in that belief.

It is always good to hear from one of our considerate alumni.

Best Regards,
J.D.

When I see your name I think fondly of my old block-4th St. Between 7th and 8th Avenues-where I grew up.

Dear Phil,

Thank you very much for your letter.

The one regret I have in leaving the trial Bench is not being able to preside over cases with attorneys as capable as you.

Thanks Again.

Yours truly,
J.S.
