Get justice for what happened. Get paid what you deserve.

You've been wronged by the very people who were supposed to protect you. The City that promised to serve you has violated your civil rights or allowed you to get hurt, leaving you angry at the injustice and determined to be compensated.

Scales of justice with a banded stack of cash at the base.

You're Not Alone.

Countless New Yorkers that have faced mistreatment by the NYPD, abuse at Rikers Island, or negligence by the MTA have successfully sued the City to right the injustice and get compensated for the harm done to them.

A group of people from the waist up with serious expressions including: a black man in a grey shirt with his his arm crossed, a hispanic man in an orange shirt with hands on his hips, a hispanic man in a black shirt with one hand holding his gold chain, and a white woman in a yellow shirt with her hands folded together.

It’s time to fight back.

Our team has the experience and the resources to face off against the City, but above all, we're driven by an unwavering commitment to upholding your rights and getting you paid. With us on your side, you are empowered, you are heard, and, most importantly, you are never alone in this fight.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have a case?

As long as we can show the City is liable for your injuries you have a case.  You also have a limited amount of time to sue, so contact a member of our team to have us file your claim today!

How much can I get paid?

How much you can get paid depends on a number of factors including strength of the claim and the damages that occurred.  Contact one of our team members to learn more about maximizing your cases value.

Is it too late to bring a claim?

It depends.  How long you can wait before you lose out on the opportunity to get compensation from the City depends on what happened to you.  As a general rule you want to get your case started as soon as possible, and filing within 90 days of the incident gives you the best chance of recovering the most money.

How long will it take?

At Sue City we understand our clients want maximum compensation fast so we have streamlined our process to be as efficient as possible.  Many of our clients are receiving checks within just a few months of contacting us.

While we pride ourselves on getting our clients paid fast, if we settle and what we settle for is entirely up to the client.

How much do you charge?

At Sue City we collect one third of whatever payout we achieve to cover our legal fees.  This means the more money you get, the more money we get so we have every incentive to maximize the value of your case.  Remember: you never have to pay us unless we get you paid!

How do I pay you?

You do not have to pay anything until we win for you.  Once we win at trial or accept a settlement on your behalf we collect our legal fees from the award.

The more money you get paid, the more money I get paid, so I have every reason to get you the most money possible.

-John Paul DeVerna

The clock is ticking!

The sooner you call, the faster you get paid and the better your chances of maximizing your compensation*.
