Davis & Ferber

What Davis & Ferber does

Davis & Ferber LLP is a New York-based plaintiff-side and labor-side law firm founded in 1994 by David A. Davis and Steven B. Ferber, operating as a limited liability partnership from its headquarters in Islandia, NY. The firm practices across three principal service lines: a Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Group led by Steven B. Ferber (admitted 1978; AV-rated by Martindale Hubbell; 200+ cases to verdict; cumulative client recoveries in the hundreds of millions of dollars), a Labor Relations and Employment Law Group led by Davis that serves as general counsel to more than 50 labor organizations including PBAs, the Huntington Hospital Nurses Association, and United Steelworkers locals, and a General Practice Group handling divorce and family law, real estate transactions, estate planning and probate, elder law, and business formation. Practice areas also include nursing home abuse and neglect, motor vehicle accidents, Social Security disability claims, state disability retirement, and employment-side discrimination, wage/hour, and harassment work.

The firm delivers services through five offices across New York State — Islandia (Long Island HQ), LaGrangeville (Hudson Valley), Mattituck (East End), Riverhead, and White Plains (Westchester County) — with the latter three operating by appointment or as satellite locations. The technology footprint is minimal and conventional: a WordPress-based marketing website with blog content, audio/radio features, client testimonials, and a free-case-evaluation intake funnel; no proprietary software, mobile app, API, or integrations are disclosed.

Davis & Ferber's revenue mechanics are split between contingency-fee representation for personal injury, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and Social Security disability matters (no fee absent recovery) and standard hourly or fixed-fee billing for family law, estate planning, real estate, and employment-side work. Client acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven by free consultations, content marketing, referrals from satisfied clients, and community presence in New York, while the labor practice generates recurring institutional work through general-counsel engagements. The firm maintains an Of Counsel relationship with Quinn Law Firm to extend coverage for certain P.B.A. labor clients.
