Law Firm Overview

The law firm of Tomkiel and Tomkiel, PC was first established in New York as a partnership between Stanley A. Tomkiel, Sr. and son Stanley A. Tomkiel, III. From the very start in 1979, we had a clear goal in mind: to help accident victims get fair and full financial compensation for their losses. This commitment to service continues with the third Tomkiel generation, Matthew P. Tomkiel, who joined the firm in 2003. In 2008 John P. Margand, an experienced New York City medical malpractice attorney, joined the firm as special counsel.

Even though Stanley A. Tomkiel, Sr. retired in 2008, our tradition of helping accident victims lives on. Tomkiel and Tomkiel, PC is now led by Stanley A. Tomkiel, III, with son Matthew P. Tomkiel of counsel, and employs a team of experienced personal injury professionals with a network of injury lawyers throughout New York, New Jersey and Florida. We continue to provide the results that our law firm has become known for.

Our results in personal injury and wrongful death cases have been acknowledged by a variety of prominent legal publications, including the Association of Trial Lawyers of America Law Reporter, the New York Jury Verdict Reporter and the New York Law Journal. Our firm is listed in the Bar Register of Pre-Eminent Lawyers, America's most exclusive directory of law firms. The Bar Register lists only those select law firms that have earned the AV® Rating in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. We have therefore been designated by our colleagues as preeminent in our field.*

Exclusively Handling Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Cases

Our lawyers only handle matters related to personal injury and wrongful death. We represent injured people only, never insurance companies or corporations.

Our experience ranges from workplace and construction accident cases to defective products, medical negligence, truck, motorcycle and car accidents and beyond. We know the challenges that arise in every type of bodily injury case. We know how to overcome these challenges.

As part of our commitment to providing personal and comprehensive service in these cases, we can handle related matters such as workers' compensation in workplace accident cases and issues involving Social Security benefits. If we handle your lawsuit, we do not have to send you to another law firm to have these matters addressed.
