Lawyers with and Edge®

Most serious accidents are complicated matters that involve equally complex principles of science and engineering that must be explained to a jury.

With degrees in engineering and biology hanging on walls right alongside their law degrees, partners Richard Gurfein and Preston Douglas, are your Lawyers With An Edge® when fighting big insurance companies, negligent businesses, and even City Hall.

New York courts have made it harder than ever for accident victims to recover just compensation for their injuries – injuries that can devastate the lives of victims and their families.

At Gurfein Douglas, you can rely on the scientific training of our two partners to uncover the often hidden technical details of your case that the untrained eye might miss.  Details like how the laws of physics and other scientific principles support your side of the story.

Gurfein is Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.  Douglas is presently the editor in chief of the New York Litigation Review.
