Our Practice

Our firm was built on referrals, representing generations of families and friends, protecting all of their rights, not just the ones they thought they had. Our clients demand excellence, and we deliver.

The Best Representation for Your Case

We are available 24/7 to assist you. We work vigorously and aggressively and we get you the results you need when you need them, not in years from now. We are confident that if you put your trust in the Law Offices of Mark E. Alter, you will receive the best legal representation and resolution to your case that you could expect. Chances are you are here because a friend, relative, co-worker, associate, colleague, Court personnel or even someone who once was involved in a matter against us, referred you to our firm.

We understand how important it is not to let you down nor the person who made the referral. It is this respect for you the client and for the person who referred the case that we have built our firm’s strong, aggressive and successful reputation on. We don’t advertise, instead, our work speaks for us as you are here because the person referring you knows how we practice and how we get results.

We thank our clients, friends, colleagues and others who have been so kind to us over the years; those who have continued confidence in our firm and thus, have referred so many people to us.
Our firm takes great pride in working very hard for our clients and providing a combination of ferocious tenacity and professionalism to achieve excellent results without the usual and unnecessary delays associated with litigation. The continued success of our firm depends upon the referrals from our friends, clients, former clients, colleagues, members of the Bar and those who have heard about our reputation. We understand that when someone refers a client to us that we must achieve a result that will make the person referring our firm proud as well as appreciated. After more than two (2) decades, our firm continues to succeed on the graciousness, trust and confidence that others have in us. We are proud of the success rate we have achieved in representing our clients and helping victims of accidents obtain substantial compensation without delay. We continue to represent clients in criminal and matrimonial matters, as well as personal injury cases; both small matters and indeed, we have excelled in matters involving catastrophic injuries. Our firm is no stranger to multi million dollar recoveries for catastrophic accident victims. We believe that we have created for ourselves, a reputation amongst insurance companies and defense counsel, not only with regard to our ability to obtain substantial recoveries, but also that we will not tolerate delay.

In our news section there are listed some personal injury cases we have resolved. Despite the poor economic times, our firm continues to achieve substantial and significant results for our clients, most importantly, without waiting years for their compensation. As published in the New York Jury Verdict Reporter as well as the New York Law Journal, we obtained a multi-million recovery for our clients, having a present value of $5,450,000.00, structured to achieve over 11 million dollars and as much as twenty one million dollars. Notably, just thirteen (13) months after that tragic accident occurred, the clients had a multi-million dollar recovery. Moreover, within weeks of that case being published, our office, through a relentless pursuit of the primary and excess insurance carriers in another case, recovered $1,250,000.00 for our client. Again, and notably, this constituted the entire insurance coverage available in that case; a matter where the case was settled just seventy one (71) days after the accident. If the insurer’s won’t settle promptly, our experienced attorneys will act on their bad faith and bring the cases to trial without giving in during jury selection or after the first witness is called, just to validate the insurance carrier’s delay tactics. Instead, we believe we have developed a name in the tort litigation field for drawing a line in the sand with regard to when the insurance policy limits will be accepted and when the insurance carrier lost that opportunity on behalf of its insured.
Our firm thanks those who have placed their trust in us to handle their cases and for the referrals you send us. Your continued confidence in our ability to provide zealous representation and obtain adequate compensation for our clients’ claims without the usual and unnecessary delay so unfortunately and unnecessarily associated with litigation has kept our firm thriving.
