An injury can leave you juggling medical appointments, missed work, and insurance paperwork while you are still trying to recover. If you are searching for the best Brooklyn personal injury lawyers, you may want what many people rely on when choosing an attorney: a recommendation with a clear explanation behind it.
I’m Anthony Ferrante, a Brooklyn personal injury attorney. I created this list for people who need legal help but do not have a personal referral. Below are eight attorneys I recommend considering for their published experience, relevant practice areas, professional recognition, and service to Brooklyn clients.
About these recommendations: This is my opinion-based shortlist, not an independent ranking or a claim that these attorneys outperform every other lawyer. Jeffrey Koenig is my law partner, and our firm would benefit financially if you hired us. The numbers organize the profiles rather than rank the lawyers. Awards reflect the issuing organizations’ criteria and do not guarantee results.

1. Jeffrey Koenig – Ferrante & Koenig
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Jeffrey Koenig is my law partner, so I want to make that relationship clear. His work includes representing people injured in motor vehicle collisions, premises accidents, and construction incidents. His background also includes medical malpractice defense preparation before he began representing injured plaintiffs.
Jeffrey has tried cases in New York state and federal courts. His biography identifies lifetime membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
In 2008, he served as second-chair counsel in a construction injury trial producing a verdict exceeding $44 million. That historical result does not predict another client’s recovery.
I recommend considering Jeffrey because of his trial experience and focus on preparing the evidence early. Our Brooklyn office is at 425 Saratoga Avenue.

2. Laura Rosenberg — Rosenberg & Rodriguez
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Laura Rosenberg has been licensed in New York and New Jersey since 2001. Her practice focuses on personal injury, and her firm expressly serves Brooklyn clients in matters involving collisions, unsafe property, construction accidents, and other injuries. Her current biography identifies an AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Super Lawyers lists her selection for 2019–2026.
Laura earned her law degree at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and belongs to the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association and New York State Trial Lawyers Association.
I include Laura because her longstanding injury practice and documented recognition provide concrete reasons to consider her. Ask about her experience with your particular injury and who would oversee your claim.
3. Arkady Frekhtman – Frekhtman & Associates
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Arkady Frekhtman founded his practice in Brooklyn in 2000. His current biography distinguishes his 1997 law school graduation from his January 1999 admission to the New York bar.
His practice includes construction injuries, brain injuries, burn cases, automobile collisions, and premises liability. His biography describes work across case preparation, depositions, motions, mediation, appeals, and trials. It also identifies a June 2026 presentation at Trial Lawyers University Live concerning a subway slip and fall case. That is a specific example of professional teaching activity, rather than a claim of superiority over other attorneys.
I recommend considering Arkady because of his Brooklyn practice history and work involving serious injuries. Ask how his team would investigate the accident and document its long-term effects.
4. Mikhail Yadgarov – Mikhail Yadgarov & Associates
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Mikhail Yadgarov’s firm lists its main office at 1111 Avenue U in Brooklyn. His biography identifies admission in New York and New Jersey and experience with motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, pedestrian accidents, ceiling collapses, and construction incidents.
His published approach emphasizes meeting clients individually and understanding their circumstances. His background also includes work in an Elder Law Clinic providing services to older adults.
I include Mikhail because his documented practice covers several common Brooklyn injury scenarios and emphasizes direct client relationships. During a consultation, ask whether he would personally handle your matter, how frequently you would receive updates, and which evidence needs immediate attention.
5. Arthur Hill – Ross & Hill
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Arthur Hill’s current biography lists New York bar admission in 1977 and describes extensive litigation experience. His work includes motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, construction accidents, school and daycare negligence, and police misconduct.
His biography discusses trials involving negligent security and other serious injuries. Ross & Hill expressly serves Brooklyn, although its website currently lists a Manhattan office address.
I recommend considering Arthur because his published experience extends beyond routine accident claims to cases involving institutional defendants and disputed responsibilities. If your injury involves a building’s security, a school, or alleged misconduct, ask about the legal theory that would apply and any special filing requirements.
6. Samantha Kucher – Kucher Law Group
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Samantha Kucher is part of Kucher Law Group, which serves injury victims throughout Brooklyn and Kings County. The firm’s current practice pages address car crashes, construction accidents, unsafe property, truck collisions, and wrongful death claims.
Her published background identifies a bachelor’s degree from New York University and a law degree from New York Law School. It also describes volunteer work with the New York County Family Law Pro Bono program.
I include Samantha because her firm’s documented services directly address Brooklyn injury claims. Ask which attorney would lead your case, whether related claims require separate representation, and how the team would communicate with you during treatment and litigation.
7. Jay S. Knispel — Law Offices of Jay S. Knispel Personal Injury Lawyers
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Jay Knispel was born and raised in Brooklyn, and his firm maintains an office at 26 Court Street, Suite 2511. His practice includes motor vehicle claims, premises liability, construction accidents, and other serious injury matters.
Before opening his practice, Jay worked as a senior trial attorney for a national insurance company. His biography identifies Super Lawyers selection for 2023–2026 and lifetime membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
I recommend considering Jay because his litigation background includes both injury claims and insurance defense work. Ask how he would approach disputed fault, insurance coverage, and the medical evidence supporting your damages.
8. Jeffrey A. Block — Block O’Toole & Murphy
Attorney Bio | Contact | Google Maps Profile
Jeffrey Block is a founding partner of Block O’Toole & Murphy. His Manhattan-based firm serves Brooklyn clients, and his practice includes construction accidents, vehicle collisions, premises liability, and other serious injury litigation.
Best Lawyers named him its 2023 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation — Plaintiffs in New York City. This identifies a specific publisher’s award, location, category, and year.
I include Jeffrey because of his documented trial experience and work involving substantial injuries. For an injury causing lasting disability, ask how the firm would develop evidence of future medical care, lost earning capacity, and changes in daily life.
How to Compare Lawyers for Your Particular Injury
The best Brooklyn personal injury lawyers for your shortlist should have experience relevant to your circumstances. A construction accident may involve different legal duties and defendants from a sidewalk fall, while a medical malpractice claim requires its own legal and medical analysis.
When comparing Brooklyn personal injury attorneys, ask how they would identify responsible parties, preserve evidence, and assess your damages. Find out who would personally manage the case and whether another firm would participate.
Compare Brooklyn personal injury law firms using those answers alongside the written fee agreement and your comfort with the attorney. A large verdict or award can help identify someone to interview, but it does not establish what your case is worth.
Brooklyn Personal Injury FAQs
What Questions Should I Ask During a Consultation?
Ask whether the lawyer handles cases involving your accident type and injuries. Discuss what evidence is available, what remains uncertain, and what the first investigative steps would be.
Also ask who returns calls, who attends depositions, and who would try the case. Request clear written terms covering attorney fees, case expenses, and responsibility for costs if no compensation is recovered. Do not assume every contingency arrangement works identically.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Brooklyn Injury Case?
Many negligence claims against private parties generally have a three-year filing period. That is not a universal deadline for every personal injury claim. Medical malpractice, wrongful death, intentional misconduct, and other claims can follow different rules.
Certain municipal claims generally require a notice of claim within 90 days, with a separate lawsuit deadline where it applies. Exceptions and defendant-specific requirements matter. Have an attorney identify your deadlines instead of relying on the general rule.
Can I Recover Compensation If I Was Partly Responsible?
For many negligence claims, New York’s comparative negligence rule generally reduces damages in proportion to the injured person’s responsibility.
The current statute treats personal injury actions subject to Insurance Law Article 51 differently: Subsection (b) bars recovery when the claimant’s fault exceeds the defendant’s or combined defendants’ fault. Your lawyer should identify which rule and version apply. An insurer’s accusation does not establish the final allocation of fault.
Does an Award Mean an Attorney Will Obtain a Better Result?
No. A professional award or peer rating reflects the issuing organization’s criteria and the scope of the recognition. It does not guarantee a settlement, establish your claim’s value, or show that one attorney will outperform another in your case.
Consider the recognition alongside relevant experience, communication, availability, and the lawyer’s explanation of your options.
Should I Wait Until Treatment Ends Before Calling a Lawyer?
Usually, there is no reason to delay an initial consultation. Surveillance footage may be overwritten, witnesses may become harder to locate, and important notices may be due while you are still receiving care.
Your prognosis can affect settlement evaluation, but investigating a claim and settling it are separate steps. A lawyer can begin preserving evidence while your medical providers assess your recovery.
What Should I Bring to the First Meeting?
Bring accident photographs, reports, witness information, medical records, bills, insurance correspondence, and documentation of missed work. Prepare a short timeline and explain any earlier injuries involving the same body parts.
Bring up practical concerns too, such as transportation to appointments, language preferences, or difficulty accessing records. Understanding how the firm addresses those needs can help you decide whether its service fits your situation and expectations.
You can arrange a consultation while gathering records. Missing paperwork should not prevent you from asking about urgent evidence preservation or filing obligations.
