George Abdella

My father Ernest Abdella was among the best known and most skillful trial lawyers in the State of New York. He founded our practice in 1937 and worked continuously until his death in 2006.

I worked with him in the law office from the age of 16; the experience of going to Court with him and observing him along with the other trial lawyers of the time was the best education any trial lawyer could receive.

I graduated from Hobart College in Geneva, NY and received my Juris Doctor from Albany Law School in 1969. Since then I tried cases in Federal Court and all New York State Courts. I have argued cases in the Appellate Divisions and our state’s highest Court, The Court of Appeals.

Few lawyers have had the trial experience I have had over the years. My trial and negotiating experience puts me in a unique position to deal with insurance companies on behalf of injured people. The insurance company must know that you are prepared to go to Court to obtain a just resolution for your clients.

In these days when reputations are manufactured on television, our office has actually earned its reputation for excellence.

In 2000 my father and I welcomed my son, Robert into the practice. I am proud to say that he has carried on the tradition of excellence and high standards which can only come from natural ability, hard work and compassion for people who need advice and counseling.
