During those years his cases have involved victims of automobile crashes, slips and falls in buildings and on city and private sidewalks, defective products, including malfunctioning trucks and cars, construction site accidents, on the job accidents, medical malpractice against doctors, hospitals and nurses, legal malpractice, wrongful death and lead poisoning.

• Identity Theft
  A. If you wages are being garnished (or are about to be garnished) or your bank account is frozen, the creditor has a judgment against you. You may have been served with a summons and complaint and were not aware of the case or you are the victim of identity theft or fraud. You should consult with an attorney immediately. An attorney will be able to find out how a judgment was obtained, whether it's a valid judgment and whether the wage garnishment can be stopped or the bank account released (unfrozen). New York State law favors that suits be decided on the merits so if a judgment was obtained against you without your knowledge the court will often vacate the judgment against you and give you an opportunity to defend yourself. An attorney will immediately file an application to stop the wage garnishment or frozen bank account proceeding, so you can be heard as to whether the judgment should be vacated. Our office has a very high success rate in vacating judgments so if your salary is to be garnished or your bank account was frozen you should contact us immediately. We can explain the entire process so you can make a clear decision on what to do. Even if your wages have been garnished for a period of time you should also contact us so we can determine the best course of action.

Defendants who own their own homes, own homes which they rent to others, two and three family home owners, multiple dwellings owners, owners of cars, trucks, boats and others are often in need of an attorney who can represent them in defense of a personal injury lawsuit. Marshal Coleman has been representing these defendants for over twenty years.

The assurance of knowing that a lawyer is fighting for your rights when you are a defendant in a lawsuit provides a great deal of comfort to an uninsured defendant in a lawsuit.
