Mitchell J. Sassower and D. Carl Lustig III Make 2014 Super Lawyers List

Choosing the right attorney after suffering an injury can be challenging. There are many personal injury lawyers in the marketplace, some more skilled than others. One of the tools you can use to help narrow your search is a lawyer rating service like Super Lawyers.

Super Lawyers uses a patented selection process to compile an annual list of top attorneys in each state. To be named to the list, attorneys must first be nominated by their peers. Nominated attorneys are then vetted through peer evaluations, independent third-party research across 12 categories indicative of professional achievement and review by a panel of highly credentialed attorneys. For each state, a yearly Super Lawyers list of the most highly ranked attorneys is published; no more than 5 percent of attorneys in a given state can be named to the list.

For 2014, not one, but two, attorneys of construction accident and personal injury firm Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., have been named to the New York Super Lawyers list: Mitchell J. Sassower and D. Carl Lustig III.

In addition to being an accomplished personal injury attorney, Mr. Sassower has lectured and written extensively on labor law and serves on the board of directors for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. He has received the top AV rating* from Martindale-Hubbell, and has been honored as the Attorney of the Year by the Institute of Jewish Humanities. Mr. Sassower has been selected for the New York Super Lawyers list every year since 2007.

Mr. Lustig focuses on trials and appeals in major personal injury cases, with a concentration on construction accident litigation. He is a prolific lecturer and writer in the arena of personal injury trial practice. He has received the top AV rating* from Martindale-Hubbell, was recognized as Attorney of the Year by the Institute of Jewish Humanities and serves with numerous legal organizations, among them the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, The American Association for Justice and the American Board of Trial Advocates. Mr. Lustig has been listed as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in New York State by the National Trial Lawyers Association. He is a member of The Million Dollar Advocates Forum and he has been on the New York Super Lawyers list every year since 2009.
