Our Lawyers Know That Only Results Matter

LaMarche Safranko Law is an award-winning, nationally recognized law firm dedicated to helping clients throughout New York who have been injured in a serious accident or who are facing criminal charges.

Andrew
In 2012, I joined George to found LaMarche Safranko Law. We did so after having worked together on several cases.

George
We, together, have a consistent theme of how we represent clients. And it all starts with communication, personal attention, and trust.

Andrew
We represent people that are going through a very tough time in their life. Either they’ve been injured, accused or charged with a crime, or under investigation with respect to their license and livelihood.

George
What makes us qualified for the cases that we take on are the more than 20 years of experience we have in representing thousands of clients who have gone through very difficult times in their lives, either a personal injury case, a criminal case, or a professional discipline case.

Andrew
Our goals for the client is to provide the best possible outcome and that can be many different things. In a personal injury case that can be obtaining a settlement. In a criminal case it can be involving a plea bargain. But I think our clients need to know when they come in the door that we are there for the fight, we are there to the end, and we take on every case expecting that it’s gonna go to a trial. If it resolves before and that’s at the best interest of the client, then that’s great, but our clients need to know that we have the experience, we have the dedication, and we have the determination to take a case from the beginning to the end.

George
We are blessed to have a pretty amazing team, which includes wonderful paralegals, a nurse attorney, a former prosecutor, and two partners who have known each other for over 20 years, who have worked together for over 10 years, and have worked with thousands of clients.

Andrew
Our roles are varying. Sometimes it’s counselor, sometimes it’s friend, sometimes it’s advocate, sometimes it’s cheerleader. A lot of what we do is dealing with people going through very difficult situations, and we work together with other professionals to make sure someone is getting the potential help they need and working with them to get the best potential outcome.

George
LaMarche Safranko Law is a good choice for anyone who is facing a criminal charge, has suffered an injury because of someone else’s negligence, or is facing an allegation of professional discipline for many reasons…we communicate with our clients, we listen to our clients, we understand the story we need to tell to passionately advocate for our clients. And we’re driven to make sure that the outcome in the case is a successful one.

    Vicki Testimonial Transcript
    Well, I met George in 2014. My son was arrested for a criminal offense, and George—he has this ability, it’s just who he is. He’s genuinely empathetic and he’s very compassionate and he has the ability to just make you feel safe. You know? I just always felt I was in great hands and my son was in good hands and that we would have a good outcome of our situation and we always have. And he’s brilliant. He’s a brilliant lawyer. He’s very skilled and very creative. He has excellent rapport with all the judges and DAs and officials, and he’s always found a rehabilitative outcome for my son which I genuinely appreciate.

    Laurie Testimonial Transcript
    George was referred to me by my estate attorney. They go way back and it was a great referral, I don’t think I could have done any better, it was a very good match for me. Something that was really really instrumental in the whole thing was George keeping us up-to-date on what was going on and very much included. I was invited to be at all the depositions if I wanted to be and he gave me all the written depositions to read through, so I was always up-to-date on what was going on and I felt like a part of the process. I would definitely recommend George to other people. In fact, about 2 weeks ago I did. A friend of mine was in a pedestrian car accident, she was the pedestrian and is in pretty rough shape, and he was the first person I thought of so I actually asked him if it would be in his purview and he said yes. And I know that she’s very happy with him so far.

    Jules Testimonial Transcript
    What brought me to the firm was a personal incident where Andrew was recommended to me very highly by a family friend who’s also an attorney, and Andrew represented me to great satisfaction in that case. What impressed me the most about Andrew was his direct straightforward approach, and he has this incredible way of setting you at ease and yet telling you the good and the bad of a situation. I felt that he was very much a straight shooter and lived up to the reputation that preceded him. I would recommend them and Andrew Safranko to anybody in the world. They’re just that class of a group of people.
