Our Areas of Practice

We have been representing clients in employment, intellectual property and personal injury matters since 2002. Our attorneys have well over 100 years of combined experience, and we have a proven track record of securing favorable results for our clients. So, how can we help you?

Representation for Businesses

We represent businesses on Staten Island (and elsewhere) in employment and intellectual property matters. Whether you are seeking to protect your business proactively or you need experienced legal counsel to handle a dispute, we can use our experience to your advantage.

Employer Compliance and Defense

Much of our practice involves assisting businesses with employment law compliance and defending against employment-related claims. We provide compliance and defense representation at the state and federal levels, working closely with our clients to mitigate their potential liability exposure under the New York State Human Rights Law (SHRL), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII and other statutes. Our services for employers on Staten Island include:

  • Drafting and Updating Employment Policies and Procedures
  • Providing Management and Human Resources (HR) Training
  • Investigating Allegations of Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation
  • Defense of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Claims
  • Defense of New York Department of Labor (DOL) Claims
  • Defense of New York Department of Human Rights (DHR) Claims
  • Litigating Disputes Involving Employment Contracts

While employees in New York have clear legal rights, these rights are subject to various limitations, and employees must assert their legal rights appropriately in order to be eligible for remedies. As a result, employers on Staten Island will have strong defenses to their employees’ claims in many cases. If your business is facing a claim, our attorneys can assess all potential defenses and executive a targeted defense strategy focused on protecting your business by all means available.

Intellectual Property Protection

Copyrights, patents and trademarks are among many businesses’ most valuable assets. As a result, protecting these assets is extremely important. At Bell Law Group, we provide comprehensive IP protection services for all types of businesses on Staten Island—from startups seeking to register their first trademark to established companies with large intellectual property portfolios. Our IP-related services include:

  • Copyright Registration
  • Trademark Clearance and Registration
  • Patent Searches and Registration
  • IP Portfolio Management and Monitoring
  • Responding to Office Actions
  • Responding to PTAB and TTAB Challenges
  • Enforcing Our Clients’ Exclusive IP Rights

Regarding enforcement, we regularly represent clients in state and federal IP litigation in New York. If sending a cease-and-desist letter is not enough, our attorneys can work quickly to seek judicial protection on your business’s behalf. Our IP attorneys can issue DMCA takedown notices and prosecute UDRP complaints as well. No matter what it takes, if you need to take action to protect your business’s IP, our team is up to the task.

Representation for Individuals

We represent local residents in employment matters and personal injury cases, and we represent families in New York and elsewhere following fatal accidents on Staten Island. If you need to take legal action to protect your legal rights, we can use our experience to seek the justice you and your family deserve.

Employee Rights

We represent private-sector employees and federal employees who are victims of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. We also handle wage and hour disputes on behalf of employees who have been underpaid. As an employee on Staten Island, you have clear legal rights; and, if your employer has violated these rights, it deserves to be held accountable. Our attorneys can help you assert your rights under:

  • New York State Human Rights Law (SHRL)
  • Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Rehabilitation Act (which protects federal workers)
  • Equal Pay Act (EPA)
  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
  • Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) (which protects federal workers)

These are just examples. Several other state and federal laws provide rights to employees on Staten Island as well. An employment attorney at Bell Law Group can provide a comprehensive assessment of your rights and walk you through the options you have available.

Personal Injury

You also have clear legal rights if you were injured in an accident on Staten Island that was someone else’s fault. In this scenario, you may have a personal injury claim, and you may be entitled to significant financial compensation for your medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other losses. We handle all types of personal injury claims, including (but not limited to) those involving:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents (Car, Truck, SUV, Motorcycle, Taxi and Rideshare Accidents)
  • Pedestrian and Cycling Accidents
  • Construction and Scaffolding Accidents
  • Other Premises-Related Accidents (Slips, Trips, Falls, and Elevator and Escalator Malfunctions)
  • Dog Attacks
  • Toxic Exposure (Mold and Lead Paint)
  • Medical Malpractice (Diagnostic Errors, Medication Errors, Surgical Errors and Other Mistakes)

If you think you may have a personal injury claim, it is important that you speak with an attorney promptly. You need to preserve the available evidence before it disappears, and you need to be very careful to avoid mistakes that could jeopardize your financial recovery. Our attorneys can explain everything you need to know.

In addition to representing accident victims on Staten Island, we also represent family members in cases of wrongful death. If you have tragically lost a loved one in a fatal accident, we are prepared to do everything we possibly can to hold the at-fault party accountable.
