Trusted Counsel And Legal Representation For Your Complex Legal Issues

Resolving Civil Litigation In New York

You may need legal counsel for many reasons, but the qualities of a good lawyer are critically important. You want someone who is not only familiar with the particular area of the law but who is also a critical thinker and very excellent listener.

You want to feel that your lawyer cares about you and your legal problem. You want to know that your lawyer will value your input and strive to meet your goals rather than pursue his own agenda. My name is David Grauer and for more than 40 years my practice has been based upon the philosophy just now enunciated and primarily if not exclusively predicated upon client and attorney referrals.

Many of my clients want a prompt resolution; however upon discussion and deliberation it becomes clear that a strategic and assertive approach is needed to meet their goals. I tailor my legal representation to help the client achieve the sought objectives. I am known by my legal peers and community as a discerning litigator, an ethical attorney and at all times both a practical and passionate advocate for my clients. I have also been called a “lawyer’s lawyer,” and have been frequently retained by other law firms and attorneys for assistance with complex litigation and for their personal legal matters.

I am a solo attorney with more than four decades of experience in persuasive negotiation, mediation, arbitration, trials and appeals in state and federal courts in New York. When you hire David I. Grauer, Attorney at Law, you get a thoughtful, compassionate and hardworking lawyer who thrives on problem-solving and pledges the following:

  • I promptly return calls.
  • I listen to my clients and help them clarify their goals and priorities.
  • I give honest, direct and focused advice and counsel.
  • I keep the lines of communication open.
  • I solve problems, working from clients’ goals.
  • I fight for my clients.
  • I do not nickel-and-dime my clients and fight to prevent litigation from dragging on to generate fees.

Litigation does not always mean resolving disputes before a judge or a jury. I use the best method available to achieve the desired result in the least time with the least expense, with the greatest degree of control over the outcome. If mediation, persuasion, negotiation and settlement cannot work, as a seasoned and veteran trial lawyer, I am prepared to advance your interests in a contested manner and the knowledge that we are prepared to go to trial frequently closes the gap.
