Our Practice Areas
Workers' Compensation Attorney in Olean, New York
If you have been injured while on the job due to a work-related injury, you may be entitled to wage benefits and medical care. New York State Workers' Compensation law provides that workers who suffer permanent injuries at work involving the loss of use of body parts are entitled to a schedule of payments. Death benefits are also available to the survivors of a worker who dies as a result of a compensable accident or occupational disease. There are strict rules on the timing of workers' compensation claims and it is prudent to consult an attorney immediately if you have been injured or become ill on the job.
Personal Injury Attorney in Olean, New York
A party who is injured in an automobile through the fault of another may have a claim against that party.

"Ms. Proto recently assisted my husband and I in drafting our last will and testament, power of attorney and advance healthcare directive. She also created a revocable trust so that we were able to accomplish our goal of avoiding probate and maintaining privacy with respect to our estate. We were truly astounded at the level of care that she put into each step of the process, answering all of our questions and providing insightful feedback. Throughout the process she was easy to work with, personable and easy going. We will continue to recommend Ms. Proto to all of our friends. She truly made estate planning a joy to accomplish!"

"Throughout the entire process, [Rose] was a fantastic partner. She was responsive, a good communicator, empathetic, and efficient. That alone was worth five stars. But if I could give a sixth, it would be for going above and beyond: more than a year after the case was closed, she went out of her way to help me with a record issue with the court. I highly recommend."
