Per Diem Coverage That Actually Protects Your Record.
Experienced attorneys. Flat-rate pricing. Every borough. Confirmation in 15 minutes. Same-day reporting.
Book an AppearanceYou Know What a Bad Per Diem Costs.
A missed calendar call that leads to a default. A consent order signed without understanding what your client just agreed to. A one-line report that says “adjourned to June” with no explanation of what happened in the courtroom. An attorney who’s never set foot in that courthouse before and doesn’t know the Part Rules.
You’ve seen it. Your clients have paid for it.
The per diem market is full of agencies that blast your case to the nearest available freelancer. They confirm a body. They don’t confirm competence.
We Don’t Fill Parts. We Protect Records.
Every appearance is handled by Fred Abramson personally or by a vetted, experienced attorney with 15 or more years in New York Supreme Court. No junior associates. No random assignments. Fred reviews every matter before it goes to court and matches the right attorney to the assignment based on courthouse, judge, and case type.
Whether it’s Fred or one of our team, your attorney reads your file before walking into the courtroom. They understand your litigation goals. They know the judge’s preferences, the clerk’s procedures, and the part’s pace. When they negotiate a stipulation, argue a motion, or handle a compliance conference, they’re advocating, not just showing up.
Substance Over Presence
We read your papers. We understand the CPLR issues. We negotiate discovery schedules that protect your deadlines, argue motions based on relevant caselaw, and push back when opposing counsel tries to slip unfavorable language into a consent order.
Court Intelligence
After 27 years and thousands of appearances across every major courthouse, we know things the published Part Rules don’t tell you. Which parts run three hours behind. Which judges expect caselaw citations on the spot. Which clerks actually decide routine matters. That intelligence informs every assignment.
Same-Day Reporting
You get a substantive written report by end of business day. The report includes what happened, what was ordered, what you need to do next, and scanned copies of any court orders. Need it faster? Let us know when you book.
