Tanner & Ortega

New York City Housing Authority employee injured while on duty when he fell into excavation hole left unattended by construction company, settled in New York County Supreme Court for $200,000.00. Client accused of shooting in Brooklyn. Verdict of not guilty by a jury in finding the prosecution witnesses falsely accused our client.

The New York Child Victims Act, a law drafted to hold abusers accountable for the sexual abuse and victimization of children and minors under 18, drastically changes the framework for criminal prosecutions and civil actions involving sex offenses against young people.

By allowing the statute of limitations to begin running when a child turns 23 years of age in a criminal proceeding and the filing of civil action before a toddler, pre-teen or teenage victim turns 55 years old, TANNER & ORTEGA, LLP can now best ensure adult predators no longer escape responsibility with impunity.

Mr. Knight, I want to say this and I want you to remember this: For as long as you live there's one person that you really have to be grateful for and that's the person standing right next to you because two defendants were tried under almost identical set of evidence before two juries.

Your jury considered the evidence several days and could not come to a unanimous decision and most of that credit has to go to Mr. Tanner for his vigorous defense in your case.Tanner is very good at his profession, the skill, patience and execution went well above and beyond expectations with offenses and/or felony charges such as what I had, and experienced.

While not every injured person needs an attorney, we encourage everyone to at least consult one to make sure you understand your rights. Never sign anything until you have talked to an attorney. Many valuable rights can be permanently forfeited because the injured person believed what he or she was told by the insurance company.
