WORBY VECCHIO EDELMAN LLP

What WORBY VECCHIO EDELMAN LLP does

Worby Vecchio Edelman LLP is a White Plains, New York-based plaintiff-side personal injury law firm organized as a limited liability partnership, founded in 2001 by senior attorneys whose personal injury practices date to the 1970s. The firm represents individual victims of vehicle accidents, construction and workplace injuries, premises liability incidents, medical malpractice, product liability, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and sexual abuse, plus a specialized 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (Zadroga Act) practice serving rescue and recovery workers and NYC Exposure Zone residents. Its three named partners — David E. Worby (Senior Founding Partner, Villanova Law '76), Richard S. Vecchio (Managing Partner, BU Law), and Michael R. Edelman (Partner, 30+ years at the Westchester County Courthouse) — anchor a seven-person team that includes associates Raphael J. Basso, Michelle N. Daly, Matthew L. Minsky, and Of Counsel Heather Nappi. The firm has reported over $1 billion in cumulative client recoveries across its history, with representative outcomes ranging from $4.25M (truck accident) to $14.6M (child pedestrian struck by van), and served as co-lead counsel in 9/11 class actions representing 9,000+ workers.

The firm's core technology is conventional legal case management and litigation preparation; no proprietary AI/ML, software products, or technology platforms are disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through a single White Plains office, phone intake ((914) 686-3700), website contact forms (English and Spanish), and earned-media visibility (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN; New York Times, NY Daily News). Marketing relies on content marketing via an active bilingual blog, prominent 5-star Google reviews, free consultation offers, and attorney credentials recognized by Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers (2026), U.S. News & World Report, and Martindale-Hubbell AV-Preeminent rating.

The revenue model is a pure contingency fee structure — clients pay nothing upfront and the firm receives a percentage only of settlements or verdicts won. This aligns firm economics with case outcomes and is standard for plaintiff-side PI practice, but also creates lumpy, case-mix-driven annual revenue tied to settlement timing. The firm targets New York State (Westchester County, New York City, and statewide) with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding. There is no publicly disclosed revenue, no M&A activity, and no current IPO or going-private signal.
