Robert Unger

Mr. Unger served the firm in an “of counsel” capacity. He adds 4 decades of transactional experience in New York City, Long Island, and Upstate New York. Mr. Unger and his support associates generally practice in the areas of commercial, business, and real estate transactions and personal injury. He has vast experience in real estate closings in both the residential and commercial arenas. He has settled substantial cases in the area of personal injury in recoveries for clients in these areas and time period. He also has experience in the areas of contested matrimonial cases involving spousal support and child support and equitable distribution of assets, as well as trusts and estates. Robert’s expertise complements the firm in these general practice areas.

What sets this firm apart is Robert’s aggressive, yet civil, demeanor with clients first, and then adversaries and judges in state and federal courts. The legal practice is like any customer service industry: do well for one and he/she will come back with other matters and refer their friends. That has been the motto of the firm and has served Robert for over 40 years.

Robert believes in communication with his clients, whether there is good news, bad news or no news. Any client of the firm can expect an honest and no-nonsense appraisal of the case before, during and after the litigation. They are these traits that keep clients coming back to the firm with multiple matters, and with referrals of other clients.

Over the years specifically, Robert has represented seriously injured victims of others’ negligence, obtaining millions of dollars in compensation to clients and their families. In bringing these cases to resolution, Robert has gained great satisfaction in giving these clients life-changing results that help them and their families well into the future. Unlike many other lawyers, Robert understands how insurance companies and corporate defendants prepare personal injury and other cases. He knows what types of evidence adversary counsel value, and how to prepare a case to maximize a potential recovery. There are five basic principles he brings to the firm’s table:

• The client’s needs will be heard before a decision is made;
• Treat the client’s case as if it is the only one;
• Work vigorously and aggressively, though civilly, against adversaries;
• Keep the client informed to the highest extent practicable; and
• Be sincere in the desire to make a difference in someone’s life.

Robert is a member of various Bar Associations in and around the City of New York, and has spoken on a wide variety of issues of law. He is admitted to practice law before the courts in the State of New York, as well as the Federal Courts.

In 1977, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. In 1980, Robert graduated from Fordham University School of Law. In addition to his commitment to seeking justice for clients, Robert is deeply committed to public service and education of the community. He has spoken in numerous forums on a variety of issues ranging from law and economics.

Robert prides himself on his negotiating style. He has a unique knack of finding common ground in even the most sticky of situations. There is not a lot that Robert has not seen in the practice of law. He calls upon these 4 decades of experience to bring about agreements between two sides of a transaction or in a litigation settlement. The firm greatly appreciates Robert’s vast experience and no-nonsense approach to transactions and cases. Robert has been a great source of good will in the real estate community in New York City and Nassau County. It is this relationship which we look back on fondly, and look forward to in the future.
