For more than 73 years, the attorneys of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore (KDLM) have represented victims of medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and serious personal injury throughout New York and across the United States. The firm has earned a national reputation for excellence in plaintiffs’ litigation, achieving record-setting verdicts and settlements in some of the most complex negligence cases.
KDLM’s Practice Areas reflect decades of focused litigation on behalf of individuals harmed by professional negligence, systemic failures, and preventable medical errors. The firm does not handle routine personal injury matters. Instead, KDLM concentrates on cases involving life-altering injuries, permanent disability, and fatal outcomes, where the stakes are highest and the legal work demands exceptional experience.

Our attorneys are frequently entrusted with cases that other firms are unable or unwilling to pursue due to their complexity. These matters often involve extensive medical records, expert testimony, and aggressive defense strategies by hospitals, corporations, and insurance carriers. KDLM’s long-standing success is built on the ability to confront these challenges with preparation, precision, and trial readiness.

KDLM focuses exclusively on representing individuals and families whose lives have been permanently altered by negligence. Our work centers on cases involving severe injuries, permanent disability, and loss of life, where accountability and just compensation are critical.

“Our clients have suffered irreparable tragedy. We restore to them a measure of hope, dignity and independence otherwise unattainable.”
— Thomas Moore, Senior Partner
