About Richard Steigman
Steigman's association with the firm spans nearly 25 years, beginning as a paralegal. After graduating "With Distinction" from Hofstra University School of Law (where he served on the Hofstra Law Review) and earning his degree from Franklin and Marshall College, he joined as an attorney in 1997.
As partner, he manages all facets of personal injury litigation, from case preparation through trial and appellate work in State and Federal Courts. Colleagues recognize him as a "problem solver" whose innovative approaches drive successful client outcomes. He lectures regularly to bar members through the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and Practicing Law Institute, and teaches at law schools including Hofstra and Cardozo. He is "widely recognized as one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the State."

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
