The New York Dog Bite Lawyer, PLLC is a highly specialized law firm exclusively dedicated to representing victims of dog bites and animal attacks throughout New York. Founded by Mack Press, Esq., a seasoned trial attorney and dog bite survivor, the firm stands out for its deep expertise in this niche area of personal injury law and its compassionate, victim-centered advocacy.
With over 30 years of litigation experience, the firm leverages a unique dual approach: aggressively pursuing full compensation for clients while advocating for the rehabilitation of aggressive dogs through training rather than euthanasia. They operate on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay no fees unless they win. The firm is particularly skilled in navigating New York’s updated dog bite laws, including the recent elimination of the “two-bite rule” and application of negligence and strict liability standards.
