Michael Lamonsoff

MICHAEL S. LAMONSOFF, is the founder and owner of the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC.  He is known as “The Bull” because of his relentless and forceful approach in fighting for his client’s rights to win them the compensation they deserve.  As one of the top-rated personal injury attorneys in New York City, he is licensed to practice law in all State Courts of New York and the Federal District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. His legal prowess and success has been recognized by his attorney peers.  He has been inducted to the Board of Directors of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and has been consistently elected to the prestigious Super Lawyers membership.

Mr. Lamonsoff is self-made. He is the proud son of his career United States Army officer father, Robert Benjamin Lamonsoff. His father’s rise through the ranks from “grunt” to officer was similar to his own. His father grew up during the Great Depression; his family was so poor that they had to rely upon government relief at times. Similarly, Michael had minimal resources to rise to his position. During Michael’s quest to become one of New York’s top personal injury attorneys, there wasn’t a job too hard, challenging or humbling. To afford college and his future endeavors, he worked as a construction worker, bar bouncer, farm hand, bartender, garbageman and porter, amongst many other jobs. Through a combination of hard work, and sweat he was able to pay for his education, earning him a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arizona. He then attended Columbia University, where he was awarded a meritorious scholarship. He graduated with dual post-graduate degrees: A Master of Arts and Master of Education in Psychology. He went on to attend Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
