Colonie, New York, the “Crossroads of the Capital District,” is much more than a suburb of Albany.

Over the years, we have served clients from Crescent Station, Mannsville, Menands, Newtonville, West Albany, and elsewhere in town.

There Is No Such Thing as a Detail – Everything Matters

There is no area of life that the law doesn’t touch in some way or another, and law is complicated because life is complicated. When a dispute or legal obstacle arises, however, the complexity of the situation may not be at all obvious to the untrained eye. At Hacker Murphy, we understand this. And we understand that our most valuable asset – our reputation – can only be measured by the results that we achieve.

The New York legal system is brutally competitive as a matter of principle. Even if you don’t plan on going to court, you could damage your claim by missing a critical deadline or miscalculating the other side’s intentions. It is likely that you are going to need some assistance. Our Colonie, NY, attorneys offer brilliance, common sense, a solid work ethic, extensive experience, and a thorough awareness of client needs.

Have Questions?

  • If I hire an attorney but do not want to go to trial, can I settle?
    In the course of preparing a case for trial, your personal injury attorney will work with the defense attorneys and insurance companies in an effort to secure a fair settlement for you and your family. The final decision to accept an offer of settlement or go to trial is yours alone to make.

  • If arrested, what steps can I take on my behalf?

    1. Do not discuss your situation with anyone except your attorney.

    2. Unless your attorney says otherwise, do not discuss your case with law enforcement.

    3. Request to have your attorney present if you are to be put in a lineup or subjected to testing.

    4. Remain calm and courteous. Allow your attorney to speak for you to ensure that your rights are protected and you are given all the benefits afforded to you under the law.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
