Firm Overview

Their concentrated knowledge and experience enable them to best serve the specific needs of clients with legal issues in those areas. It is for this reason that Tomkiel & Tomkiel, P.C. has focused on the following specific legal needs, types of clients, and specific geographical area:
Serving the greater New York City region
There are many laws specific to New York State, others specific to the boroughs of New York City, and even more laws that affect residents of one county or another. To ensure that we are deeply knowledgeable on any law that may affect your case, we have narrowed our geographic focus to the following:
- The New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island
- The surrounding cities of Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, and White Plains
- The towns in Westchester County and on Long Island, including Nassau County and Suffolk County
We also have affiliate relationships with attorneys in neighboring areas of New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida.
Construction industry litigation
We are a NYC construction law firms. There are specific legal situations affecting only the construction industry. By focusing our practice on construction law, we are better able to serve those injured in work-related construction accidents. We are deeply familiar with related issues, such as construction management, manufacturing regulations, construction equipment maintenance requirements, construction zone safety standards, third-party legal issues, employee-employer relations issues, construction worker unions, workers compensation law, and more.
We have further narrowed our focus to litigation—to helping our clients file lawsuits against liable parties and—when a fair settlement is not forthcoming— taking the liable parties to court.
