Michael S. Lamonsoff The Relentless,
The Formidable, “The Bull” &
His Philosophy of Winning
Michael S. Lamonsoff, Esq., founder and principal of the
Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC is known
by his clients as “The Bull”. He has been fighting for the
rights of those who have suffered from the negligence
of others for over 25 years. They call him “The Bull”
because he refuses to stop fighting for their rights until he
reaches the ultimate victory for them. While the majority
of cases settle, Mr. Lamonsoff believes in preparing
every case for trial. He knows that the defendants are
terrified of losing control of the settlement process to a
sympathetic jury at trial. Accordingly, Mr. Lamonsoff
takes the control away from the insurance companies by
swiftly and aggressively litigating every case as if it was
going to trial. That is why defendants overwhelmingly
offer his clients settlement amounts far in excess of what
they expected they would have to.

gives his clients some form of justice and closure to their
horrifying experience.Just last year, Mr. Lamonsoff, and his firm won a $16
million verdict on behalf of a child who was sexually
molested by her teacher at a New York City school.
The attorneys for the city, with their arrogance and
unsophisticated knowledge of the consequential
suffering of victims, ultimately offered a mere $350,000
settlement. The firm quickly rejected the city’s offer and
won one of the highest verdicts ever obtained for a victim
of molestation. This case is just one of the firm’s latest
great wins for sexual abuse, rape and sexual molestation
victims. For decades, the Lamonsoff firm has been at the
forefront of fighting on behalf of these victims.The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff
