Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Crime Victims
Expert Crime Victim Lawyer in Rockland County, NY
Rockland County is known for its scenic views of the Hudson River and close proximity to NYC, both of which make it one of the most desirable counties in upstate New York. While Rockland County is safer overall than most counties, crimes still do happen throughout the area, leaving victims needing the help of an experienced personal injury attorney.
More populated areas like Spring Valley and Nanuet tend to have higher crime rates than quieter towns such as Piermont or Blauvelt. Busy spots near places like the Palisades Center Mall or Route 59 see more incidents like assaults, robberies, and even security issues. Rockland’s rich cultural and religious diversity, especially in areas like Monsey, has unfortunately made these communities more vulnerable to targeted acts of violence.
For over 20 years, The Law Offices of Eric Richman has helped crime victims in Rockland County get the justice they deserve. If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s actions – whether in public or on private property – Eric is here to help you seek justice.
