Details

Andy Siegel is the founding and senior litigating partner of Siegel & Coonerty, LLP, a personal injury law firm located in New York City. He litigates a wide range of matters involving serious bodily injury, but has a special compassionate interest in representing survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Andy recognizes that “fair compensation” for the unquantifiable losses brought about by brain injury can never truly be achieved. Even the 43 MILLION DOLLARS a jury awarded one of his TBI client’s for her conscious pain and suffering cannot tell the entire story. Committed to his causes, Andy is on the Board of Directors of the New York State Trial Lawyer’s Association as well as the Brain Injury Association of New York State. His many trial successes have regularly placed those outcomes among the “Top 100 Verdicts” reported in the state annually. Andy has been honored as a Super Lawyer selection continuously from 2010.

Andy is the author of The Tug Wyler Mystery Series, a collection of emotionally charged and thought provoking medical-legal thrillers. With Suzy’s Case, his debut novel, Andy was able to put a human face on a reality he knows so well from his work life: the intensity of the experience of TBI survivors and their families. Suzy’s Case was optioned by CBS Television, was a People.com Best Beach Read, and was a Suspense Magazine Best Book.

Andy also wrote Second ImpactThe Ray Ciancaglini Story. Ray is a former professional boxer and award winning concussion awareness activist who sustained a brain injury in the ring. Andy wrote the novel to educate and protect today’s youth athletes from the harm that can result by “playing through” a concussion. All proceeds from the sale of the book are donated to Ray’s non-profit organization, thesecondimpact.com

A 1985 cum laude graduate of Tulane University, Mr. Siegel attended Brooklyn Law School where he obtained his Juris Doctor in 1988. He is admitted to the New York State Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Northern, Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
