What Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano L.L.C. does

Pasternack Tilker Ziegler Walsh Stanton & Romano L.L.C. is a New York-based, full-service plaintiff-side law firm founded in 1930, specializing in workers' compensation, Social Security Disability, civil service disability pensions, construction and workplace accident litigation, long-term occupational illness claims (mesothelioma, silicosis), and personal injury matters for injured workers. The firm operates 11+ physical offices across New York State — Manhattan, Brooklyn (2), Bronx, Queens, Brentwood, Garden City, New City, New Windsor, White Plains, and Albany — with website navigation additionally referencing Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Middletown locations. Attorneys practice in all New York State and Federal Courts and before administrative agencies, with bilingual English/Spanish service delivery and a 24/7 toll-free intake line (800-692-3717).

The firm is led by Managing Partner Edgar N. Romano alongside Senior Partners Catherine M. Stanton (head of workers' compensation), Kevin P. Walsh (with the firm since 1980), Jordan A. Ziegler, and Matthew Funk, supported by eight additional Partners, a bench of Associates, and Of Counsel including founding-era partners emeritus Victor Pasternack (38+ years in workers' compensation) and Barbara Doblin Tilker. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: SEO-optimized website content, the Workers Law Watch blog, client testimonials, and free in-person or phone consultations drive intake. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through contingency-fee arrangements (no fee unless the firm wins), aligning attorney economics with case outcomes.

The firm markets itself as having recovered "billions of dollars" for "over 100,000 clients" across 90+ years and maintains membership/recognition across the American Association for Justice (2025 Leaders Forum Patron), Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Super Lawyers, and Martindale-Hubbell AV-rated attorneys. It is a privately held limited liability partnership with no parent company, no external institutional capital, and no subsidiaries. There are no disclosed technology products, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or formal partnership/alliance structures; the competitive moat rests on reputation, regional office density, and accumulated attorney expertise in New York-specific administrative law.
