About Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano LLP

More Than 90 Years of Fighting Hard and Winning Big For Injured New Yorkers

Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP (formerly Brecher Fishman Pasternack Walsh Tilker & Ziegler, PC) is a full service Law Firm that has been representing the injured person and worker for over 90 years. We have individual departments and specialists concentrating in serious personal injury cases, workers compensation claims, occupational disease claims, social security claims and various other matters such as estate planning and state and municipal disability claims.

In a majority of cases, many of our clients have multiple claims arising out of a single incident. Being a full service Law Firm means that we can seamlessly integrate and pursue all your claims smoothly from start to settlements. For example, an on-the-job injury can produce separate negligence, workers compensation and disability claims. Our attorneys have literally hundreds of years of combined experience litigating multiple claims for our clients, and in many cases our extensive track record and reputation have often precluded the necessity of litigation.

The Firm of Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano, LLP has specialized in the representation of the injured worker in regard to their Workers Compensation, Volunteer Firemen's Benefits Law and Auxiliary Police Claims since the 1930's in the State of New York. Our firm provides representation before the New York State Workers Compensation Board from the initial filing of claims through the complete Boards Appeal Process. We have successfully won appeals argued before the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

I called for a initial consultation on a complex Soc. Security disability case. They gave an option of having an appointment with a "specialist" on the phone the next day instead of in person, if I preferred. When the person called me (10 min. late), she could not understand the details and kept getting my information wrong. When I asked to speak to someone who understand my case, she put me on hold for 5 min to speak to her supervisor, and gave me totally incorrect information in the end.

Horrible. Botched my whole case . I can tell from the beginning that I had made a mistake going with this firm.. Sometimes you can read into things . They must get paid by workers comp either way. And was probably just running my case and not being honest with me to get a small pay out.from the state .

Poor communication and does not fight for you .does not communicate before hearing nor show support for outcome or a resolution. Does not advise me if I can do anything to help get information needed to win case.

If you’re reading all those reviews calling this firm “Knowledgeable,” “Compassionate,” “Determined,” “Trustworthy,” or “Professional,” don’t be fooled. After nearly 9 years with Pasternack Tilker, I can confidently say most of those reviews are either paid, staged, or completely misleading. My experience was often a nightmare. The lawyers are mostly rude, dishonest, and constantly switch without notice. They failed to submit critical medical documents, ignored urgent matters, and during hearings, they often stayed silent and seemed more aligned with the defense side. Their paralegals are no better either. I had to do most of the legwork. They often act in their best interest, trying to close cases quickly rather than fighting for what’s best for the injured worker in the long run. This firm is unprofessional, unkind, and deeply corrupt. I’m finally firing them and plan to report them further. Please don’t trust this firm,believe me, go elsewhere, or even represent yourself.

There is a lack of communication from my assigned representative. I tried many times to reach out with questions and concerns related to my health case, I have not received any response. That had a direct negative impact on my well-being, as my condition is worsening due to the absence of proper guidance and support. I have requested a change of representative due to this ongoing issue, but unfortunately, that request has also gone unanswered.

I’ve literally only retained this firm for a short time and the staff handling my case is different every time so much so I’m confused on who to contact or who is actually representing me. My emails and calls fall on deaf ears but they will contact you at the last minute when you can’t change your circumstances and still have the nerve to be rude and condescending. I have 0 confidence that my case will be won through now due to them complicating seemingly simple details. Being injured and having to go through this process is a nightmare itself, I can’t believe I hired more stress on my plate.

Too long to type. Verbally abusive attorneys (paralegal staff great though). Legitimately the WORST imaginable attorneys to deal with people with disabilities. The definition of being in the wrong field.

My lawyer seems to be working for the other side not me. They pressure you to just except Settlement. Like you have no case. There no such thing as to think it over. An call me back. I felt no concern was shown for my case. Empathy what's that to this law firm.
