Daniel Fishman focuses his practice on helping injured people recover fair compensation, litigating motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and slip, trip, and fall cases.
An Unusual Path to Injury Law
Before joining the firm, Mr. Fishman served for several years as legal counsel for Bank of China International in New York City, advising a U.S. holding company, broker-dealer, and futures commission merchant on legal, compliance, and regulatory matters. Earlier, he served as an examiner for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), working closely with the SEC. That background — dissecting complex records, finding what institutions would rather not surface — translates directly to injury litigation, where cases are won in the documents: insurance policies, medical records, and corporate files.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a financial-regulation background help an injury client?
Injury cases turn on records — coverage terms, billing, corporate safety files. A lawyer trained to audit institutions reads those documents the way adjusters hope yours won’t.
What types of cases does he handle day to day?
Vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries, and fall cases, from claim through litigation. See the firm’s practice areas for the full range.
Is he related to Samuel Fishman?
Ask him at your consultation — what matters for your case is that the firm’s attorneys work as one team, and your file gets whichever combination of them it needs.
Which courts can he appear in?
His admissions include multiple federal district courts in addition to state practice — useful when a defendant removes a case to federal court or a claim belongs there from the start.
