Abogado De Inmigración Bronx
Lawyer
The Bronx, NY 10453
Of the different types of clients that appear in my office, some of the saddest stories are of clients seeking asylum in the United States. It is true that each personal story has its own tragedy. However, most of the people I know seeking asylum have had some horrible events like no other. Those cases should be taken very seriously as someone's life is probably at stake. Returning someone who is seeking asylum to the country where they are afraid to return is something I cannot live with. This is why I feel that I have a great obligation to protect my client and his family. We all know that an asylum case is not easy. The asylum office of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or the Immigration Court wants you to prove your case. So how do you prove your asylum case? What if you do not have any documents that prove that you are exposed to persecution. These are very good questions. You should be aware that it is currently very rare for a client to walk into my office with all the evidence in hand. In some cases, the customer was so scared that they literally had to leave with nothing but their clothes in their bag. The law allows a fact-finding investigator to approve a case without evidence in the form of supporting documents. In some cases, the testimony of the asylum seeker may be sufficient. An asylum seeker should always proceed with caution when seeking asylum. Some errors may not be repairable. That is why someone should always proceed with the advice of a licensed and experienced attorney. Yes, it will cost money, but I assure you that if things go wrong during your asylum process for ignoring the law, it will cost you much more to try to fix the problem, if possible. Remember . . The best investment is investing in yourself and your family.
Daniel J. Hansen
Attorney
New York, NY 10017
Hansen & Rosasco, LLP
NYC 911 Cancer Claim Attorney
Daniel J. Hansen is one of the leading 9/11 attorneys representing first responders and survivors before the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Managing our Manhattan office, he is a founding partner of Hansen & Rosasco, LLP. Dan has been selected and voted by his peers as a Metro New York “Super Lawyer” for 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016 – an honor limited to the top 5% of all lawyers. Dan is also rated a perfect “10/10” by the national attorney rating service Avvo, in recognition of his success in fighting for his clients before the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Dan’s unrelenting dedication to the 9/11 community has, so far, resulted in a quarter of a billion dollars in VCF payouts for Hansen & Rosasco’s 9/11 clients. Dan currently represents more than 3,500 clients who have claims with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Dan is also proud of his current work at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP representing over 2,000 plaintiffs (also 9/11 first responders and survivors) in the landmark federal case now actively being litigated in the Southern District of New York against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to hold that nation liable under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) for its role in providing material support to the 9/11 terrorist hijackers. Early on in his legal career, Dan took on and won some of the most difficult cases. He won record-setting verdicts from the very beginning, ranging from a $19.6 million jury verdict for a construction worker after a month-long civil rights trial to a payout of almost $10 million for a mother and her son in a birth injury case. These are only two of the many other multimillion-dollar successes for his clients. Dan has applied his decades of experience as a New York City trial lawyer, fighting in the trenches of the state and federal courts, to benefit his 9/11 clients – many of whom have been awarded multimillion-dollar awards from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. This relentless drive is shared among every one of our 9/11 attorneys at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP. Dan has appeared on Fox News, CBS, CNN, and the BBC to explain the available benefits under the World Trade Center Health Program and the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund to help first responders, survivors, and their families, who are suffering from 9/11-related cancers and other illnesses. He has taught and lectured other lawyers, written articles for publications, and has become the “go to” 9/11 attorney when victims and their families seek representation in the Victim Compensation Fund. Dan is proud to represent many of his fellow New Yorkers, including countless other New York City attorneys, Supreme Court Judges, as well as the 9/11 “survivors” – the thousands of New Yorkers who went back to live, work, and attend school in Lower Manhattan just days after they were falsely promised the air was safe to breathe and the water clean to drink. Dan also fiercely advocates for a great number of different types of 9/11 first responders.
Law Offices Of George Birnbaum PLLC

New York Offer Letters and Employment Agreements
Since starting my executive compensation law firm in 1980, we have been retained by creators, producers, performers and managers for disputes involving virtually every aspect of the entertainment and media industries. We have also successfully represented businesses and individuals in jury trials involving employment contracts, employment discrimination, partnership and commercial conflicts, libel and business torts, and even serious product liability claims. HIGHER EDUCATION Our client was being pushed out as University President due to personality conflicts with the Chair of the Board of Trustees. Because the University had a complicated governance structure and our client had unique personal circumstances, it was crucial that we understood in detail the factual and legal aspects of the entire situation. Ultimately, the favorable severance and on-going compensation package we achieved for our client was the direct result of negotiations based upon our painstaking research. FINANCIAL SERVICES CASE STUDY Our law firm handled the termination of a senior finance executive entitled to leave his employment with substantial deferred compensation. Recognizing that the Company paying deferred compensation in a lump sum would trigger tax code penalty provisions, we hired an accountant to arrange the executive’s payout to avoid those penalty provisions, thus saving the executive several million dollars in taxes. MEDIA CASE STUDY The employment agreement of a top media executive allowed the executive to resign “for good reason” if the executive’s duties and responsibilities were materially changed or diminished, and thereby receive substantial severance payments which an ordinary resignation would forfeit. We persuasively argued that a new reporting structure imposed by the employer deprived the executive of operational autonomy which had been a key component of the original job. The executive was ultimately permitted to resign while receiving full severance benefits.

New York Executive Compensation Lawyer
My great-uncle, the entertainer George Burns, always felt himself at a disadvantage in his business dealings because he lacked legal training, so he encouraged me to go to law school and become a lawyer. After my second year at Harvard Law School, my first professional experience was a summer clerkship at a large Los Angeles firm. Toward the end of that summer, the senior partner asked me what kind of a lawyer I wanted to be. I told him I wanted to become a deal-maker for individuals and businesses. He said, “Then I have one piece of advice. Start your career by doing litigation and handling as many commercial disputes as you can. The best way to learn how to negotiate and draft a good contract is to see what happens when those contracts are being fought over: you learn what each clause of a contract means when a judge interprets it, what works, what doesn’t work, what happens when a contract falls apart, and how to express in writing the details of a deal which may not be tested until years later. Arguing over the meaning of a contract is the best way to learn how to put together a contract which no one can argue about.” I took his advice. Following law school I went to a large New York law firm, where I was fortunate enough to become trial assistant to the legendary Louis Nizer, author of My Life in Court. Mr. Nizer was a wonderful role model for a young lawyer. He not only was an advocate of surpassing skill, but he insisted on meticulous preparation and attention to detail as the source of his legal accomplishments. He taught me that “inspiration” in front of a jury was the product of late nights in the library. Even more importantly, he was a lawyer who genuinely cared for his clients, and went to great lengths to determine what their best interests really were. On many occasions, I saw Mr. Nizer refuse to bring a lawsuit for which a client was not only willing but eager to pay because he felt that the client was acting out of anger or other powerful emotion and that the lawsuit would not benefit the client’s interests. Ethical, firm and decisive, Mr. Nizer was never less than fair and courteous. I don’t remember ever hearing him raise his voice, and it was this type of professionalism that I have tried to emulate in my law practice. The lawyer exists to achieve the best possible result for the client while serving the client’s “better self” by discouraging the client from doing anything self-destructive or short-sighted. When I started my own law firm in 1980, I continued to do litigation. Indeed, in the years to follow, my law practice has been retained by creators, producers, performers and managers for disputes involving virtually every aspect of the entertainment and media industries (theatre, film, publishing, photography and talent agencies). My law firm also has successfully represented business and individual clients in jury trials involving employment contracts and employment discrimination, partnership and other commercial conflicts, libel and business torts, and even serious product liability claims. And I was able to transition into deal-making. In recent years I have concentrated on “hirings and firings” for senior executives and management -- the negotiation of executive employment agreements and separation agreements and the provision of HR related services to business clients.
