Health & Safety Attorney

Health and safety attorneys defend OATH ECB violations from DOH letter-grade inspections, FDNY summonses for over-occupancy or blocked egress, DOB stop-work orders, and the slip-and-fall, food-poisoning, or fire incident that turns into a personal-injury suit. NYC operators get a DOH inspection at least once a year, and the difference between an A grade and a closure can be one inspector and one violation interpretation. Hourly rates run $600–$700; the better lawyers also handle the pre-inspection prep so you do not need them after.
