Welcome to Scarzafava & Basdekis Law Office

The Scarzafava and Basdekis Law Firm has been acknowledged for their tireless efforts on behalf of the injured. Our firm represents only the injured.  We never have and never will represent those entities in our society which oppress the injured; including insurance companies, corporations and government.  

Our lawyers have helped change and clarify injury law in the states of New York and Texas, including one of the landmark injury cases in New York State. Such commitment and accomplishment has been recognized within the legal profession. Along the way, Scarzafava and Basdekis has been selected by other lawyers for inclusion in The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. John Scarzafava has been elected to The Best Lawyers in America, New York's Best Lawyers and New York's Super Lawyers. He was selected for admission to the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates and, by special invitation, selected for membership in American Trial Lawyers Association's Top 100 Trial Lawyers (New York). The firm has the highest possible rating in the venerable Martindale Hubbell rating guide.  

Our record in the courtroom has enhanced our ability to settle cases. There is only one incentive for an insurance company to settle a case for full value: that's the knowledge that the law firm will beat them in the court room. We have defeated, in  courtrooms across the country, the largest corporations in the world. We take great pride in defeating the powerful on behalf of those who would otherwise have no voice. It is indeed an honor to champion the cause of the people!
