Our Commitment to the Hispanic Community

We will Review your Case and Recommend the Next Step
Too many people choose not to pursue a claim and lawsuit case for various wrong reasons without first consulting an attorney - or they consult the wrong attorney. Our cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, which means that you do not pay attorney's fees unless we obtain a recovery for you, either through a settlement or a judgment. We are here to help you and your family.
If you or someone you know has been injured on a construction site call Gorayeb & Associates at 646-760-5841 for a free consultation.
