What Sets This Firm Apart
One Attorney. 39 Years. Thousands of Cases.
A Credential That Directly Affects What You Recover
Michael Gunzburg holds two licenses most personal injury attorneys don't: he is both a licensed attorney and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in New York State, a credential he has held since 1987.
In cases involving lost wages, reduced earning capacity, future medical costs, or business income losses, the ability to calculate and present economic damages accurately can have a direct impact on your recovery. His background in accounting, combined with 39 years of courtroom experience, gives him an edge that pure litigators don't have.
This is particularly relevant in cases involving medical malpractice, scaffolding and construction accidents, and wrongful death claims, where economic damage calculations often determine the size of the final recovery.
Trial-Ready From Day One
Every case Michael Gunzburg, P.C. accepts is prepared as if it will go to trial, even if it ultimately settles. That preparation sends a clear signal to opposing counsel and insurance carriers: the firm is ready, the evidence is organized, and there is no pressure to accept a low offer just to avoid a courtroom.
That approach has produced verdicts and settlements including a $20 million structured settlement in a birth injury case, a $10.1 million settlement, a $5.6 million confidential medical malpractice settlement, and numerous verdicts in the $1 million to $3.3 million range. See the full verdicts and settlements record.
