New York City Personal Injury Lawyers SERVING NEW YORK CITY AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES SINCE 1968

At our firm, our focus is on you, our client.

We limit the number of cases we handle so that we can provide each case with the attention it needs. We also invest in each case; as a well-established firm, we have the resources to hire effective experts and make a persuasive presentation in the courtroom and in negotiations. We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis. If we recover nothing for you then you pay nothing, even if we have incurred substantial costs in the preparation and handling of your case. CONTACT US

If you have been injured in a truck or car accident, on the subway or on a bus, or from dangerous property, a dangerous product or from medical mistakes, contact a New York City personal injury lawyer at Smiley & Smiley. We provide free initial consultations, are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan across from Grand Central Station at 122 East 42nd Street, 39th Floor.

Let me be clear about something, because it matters. Illuminate does not replace the lawyer. It empowers the lawyer. The judgment is yours. The advocacy is yours. The relationship with your client – the reason most of us went to law school – is yours. What Illuminate does is give you what I have spent thirty years giving young lawyers one at a time: a strategic process, honest analysis, and a partner to think out loud with, available 24/7 for research, strategy, preparation, and organization. That is the vision. That is the future of advocacy.

Let me tell you about a moment every young lawyer knows.

A new client walks in after a motor vehicle accident. All they have is the police report. There is no partner down the hall, no mentor to ask, and you are wondering: what is my next step?
This is where Illuminate changes everything. Upload that one police report, and in minutes it delivers an attorney-focused analysis -- parties, potential liability, damages, witnesses, insurance considerations, the legal issues that need immediate attention, with the strengths and weaknesses of the case flagged. Then it builds your litigation action plan: deadlines, records to obtain, witnesses to interview, experts to retain, discovery to pursue -- prioritized and organized. It drafts the day-one correspondence -- preservation letters, letters of representation, record requests -- and a substantial first draft of the complaint, tailored to your facts.

Illuminate levels the playing field. A newly admitted attorney now has guidance built on decades of proven litigation experience.

New episode out now: AI Boot Camp, Part 1 – AI Fundamentals for Trial Lawyers.

On September 10, I opened the AI Boot Camp series with the fundamentals — because before you put AI to work in your practice, you have to understand what it actually is and what it is not.

What AI can do. What it cannot. Where general-purpose tools fall short for trial lawyers. And how Illuminate was designed to fill those gaps.

This is where the series starts. Part 2 is November 5.

Listen now!

Using Illuminate is simple: upload, analyze, strategize. Upload your case materials including medical records, discovery responses, deposition transcripts, expert disclosures, police reports, contracts.

Illuminate immediately generates deposition and trial outlines, case summaries, theories of liability, and medical chronologies.

Then you chat with it like you are talking to a mentor, one who is there to strategize with you at every stage: intake and case assessment, records review, deposition prep, transcript digests, trial preparation, demands and settlements, drafting. 24/7.

Less time searching. More time advocating for your clients.
