Areas of Practice

Personal Injury

Every day, people across Long Island are injured in accidents. In many of these situations, no one is to blame. However, when the accident was caused by the negligence of another person or entity, that party can and should be held financially responsible for the damages they have caused.

Personal injury cases may include anything from car and truck accidents to slips and falls to being hurt on the job. At Winkler Kurtz, LLP, we have represented injured New Yorkers for over 30 years, working with them to help secure the compensation they deserve for their losses.

An accident can have devastating, life-changing consequences, including serious injury, emotional distress, property damage, and financial loss. Our firm works to ensure our clients receive the financial support they need to recover from any damages sustained.

Divorce & Family Law

Family law cases are often challenging, both legally and emotionally. When you are involved in a divorce, child custody or support, domestic violence, or other family law matter. You will need a lawyer who understands New York law and how to achieve the best outcome for you and your family.

At Winkler Kurtz, LLP, our family law attorneys take a professional, assertive approach to each case. We work collaboratively with our clients to protect their interests. When possible, we will negotiate settlements and other resolutions to reduce the litigation process's stress, expense, and uncertainty.

Our firm handles a range of family law matters throughout the Long Island area. Our attorneys are skilled at representing clients in divorce mediations, equitable distribution, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support, and obtaining an order of protection. Contact our firm today to learn more about how we can assist you with your family law case.

Matrimonial Mediation Services

We trust doctors, nurses, and medical facilities to act in our best interests. In most cases, healthcare professionals care for patients in a skilled and competent manner. Unfortunately, there are situations where medical professionals and facilities fail to meet a basic standard of care, and patients and their families suffer as a result.

Medical malpractice includes injuries caused by failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, delivery and labor errors, or hospital negligence. These mistakes can lead to significant long-term health issues or even death. If a medical professional or facility has committed malpractice, Winkler Kurtz, LLP can help.

While a legal claim will not make you whole again, it can allow you to recover damages for the losses that you have suffered. It is also a way to seek justice and stop such a tragedy from occurring in the future. If you or a loved one have been injured by medical malpractice, contact our firm today for a free initial consultation.

Medical Malpractice

In this capacity, we work as a neutral mediator to assist parties in coming to a global resolution to their matrimonial action for divorce and take the steps necessary to obtain the Judgement of Divorce without the parties appearing in a courtroom. It is only suitable for some situations. If the parties want an amicable resolution and avoid court, then mediation is best for them to proceed.  It saves the parties a considerable amount of time and money. It also helps avoid unnecessary animosity between the parties, which can affect their ability to co-parent. I believe in mediation, and it is the best option for the parties if they can be fair with each other. The court system is slow and expensive and should be avoided if possible.

Wills, Trusts & Estates
