Experience Matters
When you are looking for an attorney, look for experience. It is the most important factor to consider. An attorney who has "been there, done that" works effectively to your advantage.
With a combined total of 40-plus years of trial experience, the lawyers at the Law Offices of Joseph J. Tock in Mahopac, New York, have the proficiency and legal acumen to fully promote your best interests. We have helped thousands of clients with their legal needs in the areas of criminal defense, personal injury, real estate, commercial transactions, estate litigation, estate planning, landlord/tenant and business law.
Why is experience so important? Legal matters can be intimidating and frightening — you want a lawyer who has been down a similar road many times before and knows what to expect and what to do. You want a lawyer who you feel is truly focused on your case and possesses the knowledge and tenacity to achieve an optimal outcome in your matter.
Some lawyers have little courtroom experience. Our attorneys are in court almost every day of the week. Not every case goes to trial, but if it does, you want us: Attorneys with an established record of success in both jury trials and judge trials.
Experience also means that we have worked with a broad range of cases. For example, we have extensive experience presenting expert witnesses, including but not limited to medical, economic, forensic and psychiatric witnesses. We have successfully defended diminished capacity cases and have presented insanity as a defense. If your case is unique or extreme, you can count on us to have the background and to handle it effectively. It is rare to find this depth of knowledge in a firm that handles such diverse matters.
If you want experience on your side, and the confidence that comes with it, contact us today.
Preparation Translates to Results
We pride ourselves on being fully prepared in every matter, with a focus on winning results for each client we represent. We scrupulously gather relevant facts, carefully interview all material witnesses and, in short, do everything legally possible to advocate for our clients. And when you retain the Law Offices of Joseph J. Tock, you retain the entire office. Our staff includes two attorneys and three paralegals. We have on call interpreters available if English is not your first language. Each case is a complete team effort — you get the combined benefit of our diverse experience, including an attorney who has been trying cases for 27 years and a paralegal who has been handling real estate closings for 40 years. We are uniquely qualified to represent you in diverse legal issues. We have the experience.
Clients and the Community Inspire Our Dedication
We believe that the residents of New York share a certain spirit and pride; our character is defined by our resilience, tenacity and a tell-it-like-it-is way of speaking. Our firm's founder, Joseph J. Tock, was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens and worked many years in the Bronx as a Prosecutor. New York is not just where you will find our homes, it is where you will find our hearts. This background helps us build a strong and quick rapport with all of our clients.
We are especially proud to be involved members of the Mahopac community. Joseph J. Tock was actively involved in the effort to rebuild the Mahopac Public Library and is a familiar face in town due to his support of Mahopac High School activities, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Mahopac Sports Association, the Women's Resource Center, the Greater Mahopac-Carmel The Greater Mahopac Carmel Chamber of Commerce and more. Joseph has received recognition for his volunteer efforts with "Trial Lawyers Care" (a group of trial lawyers who provided pro bono legal services to victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks).
The regard we have for our community and its residents fuels our desire to provide the highest level of legal representation.
