When it comes to personal injury lawyers, Daniel Buttafuoco is no cookie-cutter version. Raised Christian in a Bronx housing project, Buttafuoco went on to attend law school and eventually start his own firm–which he steered to success by upholding Christian principles he and his partners hold close to their hearts. The New York personal injury attorneys at Buttafuoco & Associates work together to deliver these values to their clients each and every day.
Truth
One essential value Daniel Buttafuoco and his partners adhere to is truth. Buttafuoco believes in honesty at all costs, and only takes on cases he truly believes in. This means he is able to sustain energy and dedication throughout each and every case because he strongly believes that his clients deserve to win. If he does not believe a prospective client is being truthful, the firm does not take the case.
Buttafuoco also believes in being honest from the get-go. During the consultation process, if he does not think a client has a case, he tells them so, while offering the best advice he can. He often finds himself in the position of advising concerned Christians on why filing a lawsuit is not immoral. His client testimonials are excellent evidence of Buttafuoco & Associates’ commitment to this value.
Tolerance
Tolerance of all types of people and beliefs is at the heart of Buttafuoco & Associates’ practice, something Buttafuoco learned growing up in the Bronx where difference defined the neighborhood.
Although Buttafuoco grew up Christian, he has a diverse client base, including Jewish, Muslim, and atheist clients. Regardless of whether they share a religious tradition or agree on spiritual matters, Buttafuoco treats all of his clients equally and fights hard for their rights. Buttafuoco believes in acting with tolerance–accepting others’ beliefs and ways of being even if you do not agree with them. He attributes much of his success to this attitude, and it has led him to receive a number of prestigious awards.
Giving Back
At the top of his list of most closely held values is giving back to others. Buttafuoco learned this through his church as a young man–while participating in the ritual known as tithing, or giving money to the church.
He sees personal injury law as a branch of the legal profession that specifically appeals to him for this reason–he is often able to reclaim compensation for a client who could not recover their health without it.
Buttafuoco also offers free consultations, spending a significant amount of time listening to clients’ questions and concerns before offering honest advice on the best way forward for them. He also donates up to 20 percent of his earnings each year to a long list of charitable organizations.
