What Segar & Sciortino does

Segar & Sciortino is a privately-held law firm (PLLC) founded in December 1992 by Stephen A. Segar and John Sciortino, operating from a single office at 400 Meridian Centre Blvd, Suite 320 in Rochester, New York. The firm serves injured and disabled individuals throughout Western New York across three integrated practice areas: Workers' Compensation, Personal Injury (including construction accidents, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, dog bites, and product liability), and Social Security Disability. The firm's principal differentiator is its cross-practice coordination model, in which a single attorney can manage multiple related claims arising from the same incident—workers' compensation, third-party personal injury, and SSD—rather than the client having to engage separate firms.

The firm employs approximately 20 staff including 9 attorneys, led by Managing Member Stephen A. Segar and partners Erin Boardman, Jason D. Poselovich, and Nicholas M. Warner, with Senior Counsel Mark Hayden and associates Kyle Riter, Cristian Cruzado, and Alecia Elston. Revenue is generated primarily through contingency fees on personal injury cases, state-regulated fee schedules on Workers' Compensation claims, and statutory fees on Social Security Disability matters; the firm emphasizes a "no win, no fee" alignment for personal injury clients and a claimed 92% success rate in winning SSD benefits. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: free initial consultations are offered via phone, text, in-person, or website contact form, supported by an educational blog, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), SEO, and sponsorships of Rochester's three major professional sports franchises.

The firm's technology stack is limited to standard legal practice management and case tracking systems; there are no disclosed proprietary technology products, AI capabilities, APIs, or patents. The business is entirely funded by operating cash flow with no external investors, parent company, or M&A activity. Recognition includes repeated Avvo Clients' Choice Awards (2018-2025 across multiple attorneys), Upstate New York Super Lawyers honors (2021-2026), Daily Record's Power List for Personal Injury Attorneys (2022-2023), and the 2023 Community's Choice Award and Expertise.com Best Personal Injury Lawyers designation. The firm has represented more than 25,000 injured workers over its 30+ year history, and operating status is active with no regulatory actions on record.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee - Personal Injury: The firm operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning 'we don't get paid unless you get paid.' This aligns attorney incentives with client outcomes and reduces financial risk for injured clients seeking compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.
2. Workers' Compensation Legal Fees: Standard legal fee arrangements for Workers' Compensation claims, typically governed by state fee schedules. The firm represents injured workers in obtaining benefits for medical expenses and lost wages.
3. Social Security Disability Legal Fees: Legal representation for Social Security Disability claims, with the firm noting a 92% success rate in winning benefits for disabled clients. Fees are typically structured as a percentage of past-due benefits awarded.
