ONE ON ONE QUALITY LEGAL SERVICES

Welcome to our simple website! Please keep in mind that this, or any other  website for that matter, can never actually replace personally "speaking with Mr. Zahn directly" about your particular legal matter. Selecting an attorney that is right for you and for your case is a very important decision. 

The office is still located at 1597 Grundy Avenue, Holbrook, New York 11741 though it is rarely being used these days having moved my residence up to the White Mountain Region of New Hampshire. The office mailing address is now PO Box 1197, Campton, New Hampshire 03223.

The office still represents select clients in all of New York State's County Supreme Courts though in only selected areas of the law such as Lawyer Malpractice, Wrongful Death, Medical Malpractice, Serious Personal Injury and Appeals in the New York Courts. Mr. Zahn enjoys the Appeal practice and is ready to represent you in your Appeal in any of the four (4) Appellate Divisions and/or in the New York State's highest Court - The Court of Appeals. Mr. Zahn has had prior success in the Court of Appeals in 2024 by making new law in the area of section 487 of the Judiciary Law regarding the commencing a separate civil action for its violation by an attorney.  

Our philosophy about  the practice of law has always been and still is quite simple the "Client Comes First"! We believe that "Quality" is much more important than "Quantity". Our rather unique and boutique style of practicing law has served both our office and our clients for well over the last 40 plus years. 

Our style not only provides YOU the client with the utmost flexible, personal and professional interaction you can have with your lawyer, it also permits Mr. Zahn to spend the time to get to know you, all the facts of your case and, if necessary, to masterfully and artfully present it all to a jury of your peers or to any Appeal's Court.
 

Rarely does an any insurance company in the beginning stages of your claim or law suit ever make a fair settlement offer consistent with the real value of your actual injuries and damages.  It is usually even less if you don't actually file a law suit! Many times a more realistic offer is made when your case comes up for jury selection and the trial is about to begin. So if you are looking for a "quick" settlement, you might be better off looking elsewhere.  

Mr. Zahn is a seasoned trial lawyer and enjoys the preparation and trial experience with his clients. This firm does not just settle or recommend settling YOUR case for less than what it may be really worth just to "move" a huge amount of client cases along according to some "business" model.  The actual practice of the law is both a honor and a "profession". 

Perhaps the best reason for selecting this firm to represent you is the fact you will have only one lawyer who is personally knowledgeable, experienced, available to "talk" to you about your case, keenly aware of all the details and legal issues and will be the only one who personally handling every aspect of your case from the beginning to the end.   

"One on One Quality legal services" is not just our motto, it is our way of life and practicing law that we have lived up to everyday. We we handle some cases on a 1/3 contingency basis and others on a reasonable hourly basis with a retainer upfront to be placed in Escrow until legal services are actually performed.  

Many times a client doesn't know what claims for damages can be made against the person or entity that caused them injury or the passing of someone who was close to you.  

Depending  on your particular case, you may be permitted to claim "past" as well as "future" damages. These may included your medical bills not paid for by no-fault insurance, your out of pocket expenses, travel expenses going to the doctor, lost wages from missing work or from a loss of business profits and opportunity as well as other financial type losses. 

Other claims you include damages to your personal property, your pain and suffering and the loss of the enjoyment of your life that you had before being injured versus the enjoyment of your life after being injured. 

If you were married at the time of your injury, your spouse may have a claim for the loss of your society and affection as well as for your inability to perform your usual household tasks prior to you being injured. 

In wrongful death cases there may be compensation for the loss of a parent's guidance to their children, pre-impact terror, pain and suffering while your loved one was alive and other financial losses to the family.   

In some cases, a jury may also include in their verdict a claim for "punitive damages" which are designed to "punish a wrongdoer" because of outrageous conduct not tolerable in a civil society. The other purpose for punitive damages is to send a clear message to the general public that others who engage in similar behavior will also be punished. It can be a powerful tool if the facts of your case call for it's application.   

In any legal malpractice action against your attorney, you may be compensated for your past actual financial losses at the rate of nine (9) percent per year going back to "the date of their malpractice" and up until the time a jury renders their verdict in your favor - 9% can added up over time.

There may be also additional types of damage claims in your particular case. The above items are the most common and recoverable.

While we are extremely selective in the cases we haven taken, you do owe it to yourself or to a loved one to call and "speak to Mr. Zahn directly" if you have any questions about a possible case involving legal or medical malpractice, the loss of someone close to you, a serious personal injury or you would like to appeal your case handled by another lawyer who does not do any Appeal work. 

It goes without saying that all of your direct communications with Mr. Zahn about your case are strictly confidential. If out of the office, in Court or on another line, please leave a message. Until you have been selected to be a client and sign an appropriate retainer agreement there is not ANY attorney-client relationship. Mr. Zahn does not communicate via e-mail or text. 

I look forward to speaking with you about your particular circumstances and have a great day!
