Why Choose Us?

The law firm of Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC, has been representing children with lead disease since 1995. Since then, we have sued many negligent landlords and collected millions of dollars for children seriously injured by lead poisoning. Our success in this area has led us to devote countless hours in preparing cases for trial and achieving settlements that are making a real difference in the lives of our clients. 

In addition to the many cases which our attorneys have pending through the courts in Erie and Niagara Counties and in twelve other counties from Buffalo to Syracuse, we have nearly 400 cases under active investigation. This means that we are collecting medical records and lead paint investigation surveys, contacting landlords' insurance companies, and obtaining other important information so that we can continue to build strong cases against careless landlords throughout Western New York in an effort to secure recoveries for children with serious injuries due to lead poisoning. Many families have lived for years with children severely affected by lead poisoning. They can and should take steps to hold irresponsible landlords accountable.

If your child is or was ever found to have a lead reading in his or her bloodstream of 20 or higher, please contact us.
