New York State Trial Lawyers Assoc Says Thank You In Full Page Ad

The ad takes up a full back page in today’s New York Law Journal. And it is a thank you from the New York State Trial Lawyers Association to the almost 150 members of the organization that traveled to Albany to lobby the legislature last week to help preserve the civil justice system and increase judicial salaries. NYSTLA, for those that don’t know, is the preeminent trial lawyers group in New York.

So the questions are:

  • If you have an attorney handling a personal injury matter, is the name of your lawyer on the list? Or at least someone from his/her firm?
  • And if not, did s/he attend last year or the year before?
  • Is s/he actively working in some way to preserve the civil justice system?
  • And if they have never done anything in this regard, why not?

Here is the ad: NYSTLA-Ad.pdf

A big thank you to the folks at NYSTLA for their organizational skills in getting us in to meetings with our legislators. It was a job well done.

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog is sponsored by its creator, Eric Turkewitz of The Turkewitz Law Firm. The blog might be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.) As of July 14, 2008, Law.com became an advertiser, as you can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the blog in any way.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.
