New York City Personal Injury Lawyers
Walter Roura and Martin Melamed established Roura & Melamed in 1980 as a full service law firm with an emphasis on serving the Hispanic community in New York City.
A primary focus is construction accidents, but our firm has broad experience and notable settlements and verdicts in a wide range of personal injury cases. Our team's strong background in immigration law, criminal defense and civil litigation enables our lawyers to address many needs of our clients.
