About Brooklyn
Brooklyn, a vibrant tapestry of culture, innovation, and history, pulses at the heart of New York City. This storied borough, the most populous with over 2.7 million residents as of the 2020 census, blends the old with the new—the Dutch origins of Breukelen intertwining with the dynamic rhythms of modern urban life.
Geographically diverse, Brooklyn stretches from the verdant expanses of Prospect Park to the iconic Coney Island boardwalk, showcasing a landscape as varied as its people. Culturally rich, Brooklyn is a global village within the city, home to many ethnicities, languages, and traditions.
This diversity is not just a statistic—it’s the lifeblood of the borough, shaping its neighborhoods, cuisine, and festivals. With one of the highest population densities in the country, Brooklyn’s streets buzz with the energy of communities from around the world, including the largest Jewish population outside of Israel and vibrant Caribbean, Asian, and Russian communities.
Brooklyn’s historical roots as a Dutch settlement have evolved into a hub of arts, technology, and entrepreneurship. Its transformation is mirrored in the adaptive reuse of industrial spaces and the flourishing of grassroots cultural movements. Transportation networks weave through the borough, connecting its residents to the wider city and beyond through an extensive subway system, bus routes, and bike lanes, reflecting the ongoing story of migration and movement.

Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi P.C. stands with Brooklyn’s communities, championing the cause of justice with the resilience and determination that define the borough.

I was one of those people who thought I would never sue anyone. That changed after I slipped and fell on a snow-covered hotel parking lot. I suffered a severe shoulder injury and it became apparent that I was not going to be compensated for my injury acting on my own. I live in Tennessee, so I was somewhat nervous about how I could coordinate with a legal team given the distance and the difference in time zones. I researched personal injury lawyers and was impressed with what I learned about the Maggiano law firm. I needed an attorney who had the knowledge, experience and reputation to represent me, but just as important was having an attorney who could relate to me and one who I could trust.
I knew after my first phone call with him that Mr. Maggiano was the attorney I wanted on my case. Mr. Maggiano brought in the right people to document and validate my situation which helped reinforce the facts of my injury. Everyone at the law firm was wonderful to work with! Linda Reid was a great source of information and support. I was very pleased with the settlement, and I know I would not have gotten this level of compensation without Mr. Maggiano and his team representing me. He definitely deserves a five star rating.
The Maggiano, DiGirolamo, & Lizzi law office has been nothing short of amazing! All the members of their team have been outstanding from the beginning to the end. There were many struggles along the way with our situation, but they were right there when I needed them. As a person who has never needed a service of any lawyer, I had a ton of questions before and during the entire process, and I must say that Michael, Linda, Chris, and everyone else there, have all been straight shooters when it comes to the business. I would call/email them several times per day sometimes throughout the entire case and someone was always there to reply promptly and accurately each time. They do not mind going above and beyond for their clients which is honestly a rare thing to find in any professional line of work.
If you’re looking for a law firm with an amazing track record and who come highly recommended (even by other lawyers which I’ve spoken with in court during the case), look no further! You will not be disappointed with Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi law firm. If there ever comes a need for me to need assistance in a legal matter caused by a injury, I honestly would not even think twice before calling them again!
A+ on all aspects!
My experience with Maggiano office is incredible. I have been working with Michael’s firm for almost two years now and I always felt that they really cared for their individual client. Personally I loved that Michael would spend the time to get to know me as a person and care about my feelings and well being so he can truly protect me. Him and his firm is super kind and always willing to work with my demanding work schedule. They are very responsive and keep me in the loop of everything. I am very meticulous when it comes to follow up and getting tasks done in timely fashion.. and this firm definitely impressed me (and it is not easy to impress me).
If there is a family member or a friend looking for a law firm, I would recommend this firm in a heart beat.
Thank you very much to Michael and his team (especially Linda and Bernadette).
