Domestic Violence

Unfortunately, many people are charged with crimes involving their spouse, significant other, children or parents. These types of crimes are generally known as domestic violence crimes. They can range from allegations of harassment or assault against a spouse, significant other or other person. These domestic violence crimes are sometimes disputes between neighbors which are referred to the Special Domestic Violence Part of the courts. However, most often these cases arise out of matrimonial matters between spouses. Mr. Purcell has handled literally hundreds of these types of disputes in the criminal courts, often being referred the case by one of the lawyers who is handling the matrimonial matter. He has been defending these kinds of cases virtually his entire career, and has the experience and sensitivity to evaluate your case, investigate it and explain to you what your rights are and what you might expect.

If you are charged with a domestic violence crime, whether you are accused by a spouse, boy or girlfriend, significant other or neighbor, please call Glynn Mercep and Purcell, LLP for a free consultation to find out your rights and seek advice as the best way to defend yourself against these allegations.

White Collar Crimes

Many people are charged with so called white collar crimes for allegedly stealing money from their employer, whether that employer is a private company, small business, larger business, municipality (such as a school district, police department or Town or Village). People are also frequently prosecuted for failing to pay various kinds of taxes. These types of crimes tend to be very complicated, often involving accounting issues and allegations by the complainant which turn out to be unjustified.

Some of these types of cases are prosecuted in the state courts in Suffolk County, and others in the federal court located in Central Islip. The lawyers at Glynn Mercep and Purcell, LLP have represented people charged with these types of crimes in both courts. Some people are accused of failing to pay sales tax, Workers’ Compensation premiums for their workers and other taxes or charges that are imposed by the government. We have also handled many of these types of cases, most often for small businesses in Suffolk County. Understanding the nature of the accusation, and having the ability to work with accountants to analyze what the client is being accused of, has helped us to obtain excellent results for most of our clients charged with white collar crimes.

If you have been charged with a white collar crime as outlined above, please call Glynn Mercep and Purcell, LLP for an initial consultation. We will evaluate the charges being brought by either the District Attorney of Suffolk County or the Federal prosecutors and give you an initial idea of how we think your case should be handled and what the likely outcome will be. We will negotiate a fee that is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. If you are charged with this kind of crime, it is very important to have an experienced lawyer who has handled these cases before in both state and federal court, and will zealously represent you.

Corporate Law

Corporate Practice

At Glynn Mercep and Purcell, LLP, our Corporate Practice Department offers skilled and experienced start-up and formation assistance to small and medium enterprises, but it is our “Pocket General Counsel” model of practice that makes our corporate legal services unique.

Utilizing our business model of dedicated full-time paralegal support, our Corporate Department provides SMEs with value driven start-up and formation products, while our lead corporate attorney, Timothy B. Glynn, provides unique legal services that offer these SMEs an alternative to cumbersome in-house counsel or large, impersonal corporate representation.

Succinctly, as Pocket General Counsel to small and medium enterprises, we provide the attentive, personal services and loyalty expected of in-house counsel, with the concomitant ability to provide those services on an “as-needed” basis, thereby offering a flexibility and adaptability otherwise unavailable to these SMEs.

Further enabling our value-driven corporate business model are the firm’s alliances with nationally recognized specialty firms; alliances that add scalability and versatility to our provision of corporate legal services.

The final element rendering our corporate services unique is Mr. Glynn’s experience in the representation of SMEs in negotiation with large enterprises, and his strategies that avoid costly litigation and disable the value-destroying mechanisms of large corporate legal departments.

The confluence of value-driven legal services based upon dedicated full-time paralegal support, our Pocket General Counsel model, and Mr. Glynn’s unique negotiation strategies combine to make Glynn Mercep and Purcell, LLP the right solution for any SME’s corporate legal needs.

No-Fault Insurance

Many people inquire about insurance coverage after they have been involved in a car accident. In particular, our attorneys are constantly being asked how the medical bills incurred after a car accident are going to get paid. This is the issue that car accident victims are most concerned about and is least understood by the public.

In the late 1970’s, the New York State Legislature enacted a No-Fault Insurance Law. This law was designed to enable injured drivers to be able to receive prompt medical care to treat their injuries with as little hassle as possible. Its most important provision requires your own insurance company to pay your medical bills after a car accident regardless of whose fault the accident was. Even if you hit another vehicle in the rear at a red light or stop sign, for example, your own automobile accident insurance company is responsible for your reasonable medical expenses. This includes hospital charges, physicians fees, physical therapy and chiropractic visits and medicines.

Scaffolding Injuries

One of the most dangerous occupations in our community is in the construction industry involving the use of scaffolds or ladders. When a worker is performing his or her tasks at an elevation of any height on a scaffold or ladder, there is obviously a great risk that they will fall and be injured. And an injury resulting from such a fall is likely to be very serious or even catastrophic.

New York State has specific laws that protect workers employed in the construction industry. For example, a worker who falls from a scaffold or ladder while working on a building has certain rights that help them obtain compensation for the injuries they sustain beyond any worker’s compensation benefits they are entitled to. Normally, if a person is injured at work, whether the individual is employed, for example, by a school, supermarket, department store or a law or medical office, his or her only recourse is to make a claim under New York’s Worker’s Compensation Law. Under that law, the injured employee’s recovery may be very limited. However, under the Labor Law of New York State, an injured employee often has the right to make a claim for all of the value of their injuries and resultant pain and suffering. This is especially so if the injury is the result of a fall from a scaffold, ladder or rooftop.

If you are severely injured as a result of a construction related accident, you need the advice of a lawyer who is experienced in handling scaffold and ladder accident cases. The attorneys at Glynn Mercep and Purcell have extensive experience bringing construction accident injury cases on Long Island and throughout the metropolitan New York City area. We have successfully settled scaffold and ladder cases for millions of dollars on behalf of our clients, in addition to helping most clients navigate the complicated issues concerning insurance coverage and any claims against your recovery.

If you are injured as a result of a scaffold or ladder accident, you should call our law office to set up a consultation for which there will be no charge.

Wrongful Death

What the law calls wrongful death are actions arising of the many types of accidents which result in the victim’s loss of life. This horrible tragedy can be caused by a car accident, fall from a ladder or scaffold, fall from a building under construction or renovation, medical malpractice, being run over by a car or in too many other ways to enumerate. But all of these accidents can result in a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.

Unfortunately, one of the only ways to get through this tragedy is by bringing a claim on behalf of the victim’s family which may be entitled to compensation for the loss of their loved one. In the time of grief, the family has all kinds of needs, especially emotional and financial. An experienced professional and sensitive lawyer can help with both of these needs by bringing a claim for wrongful death.

Many families understandably have overwhelming difficulty dealing with this kind of loss, which is almost always sudden and unexpected. However, it is important to recognize that while grieving, financial pressures can build up quickly.

How to Receive Compensation for Your Personal Injury in New York- a Timeline

If you were injured in a car accident, or otherwise suffered a serious injury that is the result of another’s negligence, you must file your lawsuit within the statutory time period. To ensure that you do not forfeit your right to sue, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney in New York.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in New York?

After suffering a serious injury, the first priority is your recovery and receiving adequate medical treatment. Although it may be tempting to put off contacting a lawyer, this should be done as soon as you feel mentally and physically able. Generally, in New York, you will have three years to file a lawsuit from the date you were injured.

This means that if you were injured as a result of a car accident on February 8, 2021, you would have until February 8, 2024, to commence a lawsuit against the negligent party.

What if I miss the deadline to file?
