Floyd and Bernard ("Budd") Sarisohn founded Carner & DeVita nearly half a century ago. Although our firm has grown in size over the years, we take pride in having personal relationships with our clients. We are dedicated to responsive service - making certain that we are always fully prepared to meet the needs of each client.
Founded in 1957, our firm first opened its doors for business in a small two-room office on Jericho Turnpike in Commack. Brothers Floyd and Budd Sarisohn were at the forefront of a wave of new, young homeowners who helped convert Commack from a sleepy agricultural community, to the busy and desirable suburban destination that it is today.
Unfortunately, this young mother of two suffered a terrible head injury with brain damage, as well as multiple fractures throughout her body. The money will help care for her and her children. This case arose from the 9/11 WTC disaster and resulted in the award of $5.3 million in damages to two Long Island families secured by our attorneys for wrongful death losses sustained in the attack on the World Trade Center.
If you have a viable claim, you would retain - or hire - the firm by way of a Retainer Agreement. Ordinarily, personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee Retainer. That means attorney fees are due only if there is a recovery on your claims. The traditional fee for lawyers to handle such cases is one-third (33.33%) of the sum recovered, after deducting expenses necessary for the prosecution of your case.
If you are the injured party, an attorney will help you determine whether or not you have a strong claim. There are several factors that must be carefully considered in a legal framework, such as whether a person or business was liable or "at fault", whether you have suffered "damages", and whether the party who injured you as the ability to pay for your damages.

I was referred to Michael Carner (glad I was) for a slip and fall. After telling Mr.Carner the details he decided to take the case.He kept me informed every step of the way (even called me on a Saturday from home )as I had a question.He is very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend this office. The staff is also amazing these girls never have an attitude and are always very helpful. Michael Carner is definitely an exceptional lawyer.
