A Family Firm. Two Attorneys. We Know Every Client by Name.

At Tomkiel & Tomkiel, you don't get assigned to whoever is available. You meet your attorney face-to-face in person or by video conference before you sign anything, and that attorney handles your case from the first call to final resolution. In a two-person family firm, there's no one to pass you off to — and that's exactly the point.

Three Generations. One Commitment.

This firm started with Stanley Tomkiel Jr. in 1979. His son, Stanley III, carried it forward — spending 45 years building a practice around the people who actually get hurt in Westchester and New York City: construction workers, tradesmen, laborers, and families dealt a sudden, devastating loss. Matthew Tomkiel, the third generation, trained inside that same practice and now brings the same commitment to his own clients.


The credentials are real. The recognition is professional. The results are documented.

Meet the Attorneys

Stanley A. Tomkiel III

45 years of practice. Super Lawyers recognized. AV Preeminent rated by Martindale-Hubbell — the highest designation the legal community assigns for ethical standards and legal ability. Stanley has been lead counsel on some of the largest personal injury and construction accident settlements in Westchester County and New York City, including a $6 million recovery for a construction worker permanently disabled on a job site and a $5.26 million result in a catastrophic construction accident case.



Matthew Tomkiel

Matthew is the third generation of the Tomkiel family practice. He trained under Stanley in one of Westchester's most established personal injury firms — which means his foundation in New York Labor Law, insurance negotiation strategy, and Westchester and New York City court procedure comes from the same source as his father's. He manages his own client relationships directly. Your case stays with the attorney you met.


He's not building toward a lateral move. He's the next chapter of a firm built to last.

The Credentials Speak for Themselves

  • Super Lawyers — Stanley A. Tomkiel III
  • AV Preeminent Rating — Martindale-Hubbell (highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards)
  • 45+ years of reported court cases establishing legal precedent in New York personal injury and construction accident law

These designations are peer and industry assigned. They are not purchased, not self-reported, and not displayed here as marketing. They are the legal community's own assessment of this firm's standing.

Trial Lawyers. Not Settlement Machines.

Tomkiel & Tomkiel has tried cases and produced reported court opinions that establish legal precedent. That courtroom record matters — because insurance companies know which firms will fight and which firms will fold. A firm with a documented trial history gets different settlement offers than one that never goes past the negotiating table.


The record is public. Ask about it.
