Jason Urbaniak Attorney & Counselor at Law

06/14/2015

Divorce client is really going through a terrible time with her soon to be ex; at this point it's clear he is doing what he can to make her life harder.

She is not caught up on the retainer we agreed upon, but none the less Monday morning we are meeting at Supreme Court to get an index number and then serving him that same day in order to expedite the status quo order & stay away to keep him from wasting/hiding assets & from bothering her after all he's already done.

Principles: 1 & 2

04/16/2015

Though it's unfortuante that he is in the position, it's flattering that a client I represented on a felony DWI last winter called me for his most recent one.

Then again, I did get the felony charge reduced to a violation at trial - so he is pretty fond of me for that.

Just the kind of work I do every single day for every single client.

07/24/2014

Headed to court shortly to represent a DWI defendant.

Allow me to represent you for any criminal, family or matrimonial needs. Call 299-8244.

01/04/2014

Sorry to say, but I think I'll be winding this page down in the near future. Thanks sincerely for all of the Likes, I like you too.

10/09/2013

Keep in mind, the only thing that's changed now that I'm affiliated with a prominent local firm is that I can provide you more expert service and results.

For example, do you have, or does someone that you know have a complex estate to plan? Dial 299-8244 and start the ball rolling.

09/28/2013

While I am joining a local law firm, that doesn't mean you should consider hiring anyone else to represent you.

I can be reached at 716-299-8244 24/7 and if I don't answer please leave a detailed message.

More details on all of this will be forthcoming.

08/28/2013

Not guilty.

07/28/2013

Recently, after explaining to a client what the disposition of their case would be, they excitedly told me about the weight that had been lifted off of their chest.

Principle #3: Tenacity

06/14/2013

If a client is unable to get a ride to court, what do you do as their attorney? You give them a ride. That's the sort of lawyer that I am.

Principles: Loyalty; Appreciation

05/13/2013

Flattery is nice, but actions indeed speak louder than words. What is the most flattering? Repeat clients. People who know me, know my work and know my ethic and dedication and come back when they find themselves needing a lawyer.

05/10/2013

Here for clients every night of the week. Not every lawyer can say that.

05/09/2013

Coming soon - a blog detailing topics relevant to the average person.

The first topic is likely to be DWI.

04/29/2013

It's springtime, everythings growing - including my personal injury practice.

04/19/2013

Principle 4: Appreciation.

A sincere and genuine thank you to all of my clients who have given me the privilege of representing them. I do indeed appreciate you, your trust and your business.

Thank you.

04/18/2013

Another satisfied client.

04/10/2013

Personal Injury lawsuits are valued in segments of 1/3, here's how it breaks down:

First 1/3 value is realized upon signing the retainer agreement;
Second 1/3 value is based on the discovery and preparation phase for litigation;
Third 1/3 value comes from trying the case. (Kennedy v Point Dedicated, No. 2002/4375 [2007]).

Interesting, though regardless of how far along the attorney takes the case, their recovery is always 1/3.

03/26/2013

I'm so flattered when people who knew me before I was a lawyer call me because they want my tenacity in their corner. You don't become an aggressively zealous advocate, you either are or are not. I am.

Principle #3: Tenacity

03/26/2013

If you or anyone you know has been injured, please call me.

My practice is integrated with a personal injury veteran with nearly 30 years in the game. This means you get my hunger for work, the principles I operate under and by, all of which being supported by an incredibly talented and successful lawyer none of which costs you a PENNY more than going to someone else.

If you want to be treated like a number, go to a big box shop. If you want to be treated like a person and with respect by attorneys who sincerely care, call me.

716-299-8244

Loyalty; Dedication; Tenacity; Appreciation.

03/22/2013

A message from a client: "Glad to hear [] [what you're doing for my case], makes me feel like I made the right call, thank you for helping me and being so aggressive. I'm mostly thankful that you're so on top of it, it's nice to get phone calls often even if you are double checking info, definitely shows dedication."

This is the way I am for every single client, and that's a guarantee.

03/21/2013

My primary practice areas include:

-Criminal Defense
-Personal Injury (slip & fall; dog bite; motor vehicle accident; general negligence)
-Family Law
-Trademark Law
-Unemployment Benefits
-Landlord/Tenant

If you have a legal issue and are not sure whether I handle that, please inquire.

03/16/2013

Don't take chances. Call a cab - it's a little pricey but when compared to an ignition interlock, license revocation, hiring a lawyer, paying fines and all around messing up your life a cab pays for itself.

If you happen to have a run in with the law tonight related to driving impaired, call me at 716-299-8244.

03/10/2013

I am amazed at some of the stories I hear about how other attorneys handle their clients. One of my principles is appreciation - appreciation of you, your choosing me to represent you and the trust you put in me. I am fully aware that you have many options when it comes to hiring a lawyer.

Every client is welcome to call my personal cell phone and all calls are returned within 24 hours, that's a guarantee.

03/01/2013

I just got off the telephone with a client who has a business which involves a lot of driving. He was unaware just how important incorporating is to protect his personal assets.

Do you have a business? If so, are you incorporated? If not, you are putting more than you realize at risk and getting yourself incorporated should be a top priority. Without it, if something terrible happens you risk losing your personal assets. Take the small amount of time and money to protect yourself and your family.

299-8244 24/7.

03/01/2013

Peace of mind is priceless, and knowing that if something unexpected happens that your loved ones will be taken care of should provide you some peace of mind.

Because of this I am offering wills starting at $50. If your will is particularly complex, we'll reach an agreeable arrangement.

Don't wait, contact me right away and within a matter of days you'll sleep easier knowing that if something unexpected happens your loved ones are provided for.

299-8244 - all calls are returned within 24 hours and that's a guarantee.

What allows an injured party to sue the culpable party for damages? Tort law.

What is a tort? "A tort is conduct that amounts to a legal wrong and that causes harm for which courts will impose civil liability ... The essence of tort is the defendant's portential for civil liability to the victim for harmful wrongdoing and correspondingly the victim's potential for compensation or other relief."

02/21/2013

What is negligence? It's not complicated.

1) Another owes you a duty of care.
2) That party breaches their duty of care.
3) That breach actually and legally causes you,
4) Damages

02/13/2013

Have you been bitten by a dog?

In New York State, in order to recover monetary damages for your injuries, you must demonstrate that the dog has what are called "vicious propensities." This can be demonstrated by generally aggressive behavior, the clearest example of course being previous attacks.

If you've been injured by a vicious dog you are entitled to recover monetary damages. Don't hesitate to call me to assist you.

02/03/2013

Today being a big party day, please drive safe. Arrange arrangements, call a cab, sleep the night, don't drink, walk, bicycle, skateboard, use one of your AAA tows... whatever.

Should you make a mistake by driving when you shouldn't, call me. If the police officer asks that you blow into a breathalyzer inform the officer that you'd like to call me before you consent or refuse.

Know Your Rights: What To Do If You're Stopped By Police, Immigration Agents or the FBI

Vitally important facts that every single American should know about their rights with respect to the police.

YOUR RIGHTS
- You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to exercise that right, say so out loud and then REMAIN SILENT.
- You have the right to refuse to consent to a search of yourself, your car or your home. There is a misconception that by not giving police permission to search you make yourself look suspicious and that therefore, they will inevitably search. This is absolutely incorrect; if a police officer asks why you won't allow them to search if you have nothing to hide you can simply state that you respect the Constitution and that you are exercising your 4th Amendment right in a POLITE and RESPECTFUL way.
- If you are not under arrest, you have the right to calmly leave.
- You have the right to a lawyer if you are arrested. Ask for one immediately.
- Regardless of your immigration or citizenship status, you have constitutional rights.
-If arrested immediately tell the police that you want an attorney.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Do stay calm and be polite.
- Do not interfere with or obstruct the police.
- Do not lie or give false documents.
- Do prepare yourself and your family in case you are arrested.
- Do remember the details of the encounter.
- Do file a written complaint or call your local ACLU if you feel your rights have been violated.

The link below has a downloadable pamphlet that you can and should print out, study, and keep with you at all times.

We rely on the police to keep us safe and treat us all fairly, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin or religion. This card provides tips for interacting with police and understanding your rights. Note: Some state laws may vary. Separate rules apply at checkpoints and when en...

A favorite: seeing the look on a client's face when they wind up with the exact kind of disposition they'd been hoping for.

10/29/2012

If you have gotten a speeding ticket, or know someone who has, and would prefer not missing work or wasting an entire evening dealing with it call me.
