What Wingate Russotti Shapiro Moses & Halperin does

Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP (WRSMH) is a New York-based plaintiff-side personal injury and construction accident law firm organized as a privately held limited liability partnership. Founded in 1970 by William Wingate, the firm operates from a single headquarters at 420 Lexington Avenue (the Graybar Building) in Manhattan and serves injured individuals across New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties, and upstate New York. The practice spans approximately 32 attorneys — including 21 partners, 5 associates, and 6 of-counsel attorneys — across 19 distinct practice areas including construction accidents, medical malpractice, motor vehicle and trucking accidents, birth injuries, premises and product liability, brain injuries, wrongful death, workers' compensation, and specialty matters such as mesothelioma, aviation, and railroad injury claims.

The firm operates on a contingency fee model, meaning clients pay no upfront fees and the firm receives a percentage of settlements or awards. WRSMH claims cumulative client recoveries exceeding $2 billion, with documented single-matter results ranging from hundreds of thousands to $36.25 million (a construction worker catastrophic injury case including pre-judgment interest). The firm's underlying technology stack is limited to standard marketing and intake infrastructure: an SEO-optimized website, content blog, Google Ads with remarketing, social media presence across Facebook/YouTube/Twitter/Instagram/LinkedIn, call-tracking software, and cookie-based analytics. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or disclosed AI/ML capability.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: free consultations are offered via a single intake phone line, with case acquisition driven by organic search, paid search, content marketing, and reputational signals including U.S. News & World Report Best Law Firms recognition, Avvo 10.0 Superb rating, Super Lawyers listings, and induction into the inaugural New York Verdicts and Settlements Hall of Fame. The firm also runs a $2,500 scholarship program targeting high school and college students as a community-engagement and brand-awareness channel.
