In the competitive landscape of personal injury law, few firms can boast the combination of extensive trial experience and proven success as Mainetti & Mainetti, P.C. With deep roots in the Hudson Valley community, the law firm has dedicated over 50 years to advocating for clients who have suffered due to the negligence of others.
Founded by Alfred Mainetti, the firm has recently garnered attention under the leadership of his sons, Alexander “Alex” Mainetti and Michael Mainetti. This brother duo took the reins in 2018, continuing a family legacy steeped in a commitment to justice.
“We’re an aggressive personal injury law firm with a lot of trial experience,” says Alex. “Our emphasis has always been on litigation and trial work. We represent people who have been hurt, and we work tirelessly to ensure they receive every penny they’re entitled to.”
Michael adds a more colorful spin to their mission: “I like to tell people that we fight giants for a living. We face huge, multibillion-dollar insurance companies; our job is to ensure our clients are not pushed around.”
Since their inception, Mainetti & Mainetti has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from a single office in Kingston to three locations across New York, including Poughkeepsie and New Windsor. Their success has been recognized through prestigious awards from Avvo and Super Lawyers®, alongside over 100 glowing 5-star Google reviews from satisfied clients.
“Our growth is something we’re incredibly proud of,” Alex notes. “More offices, more attorneys, more employees—most importantly, more clients. We’re helping more people than ever, and that’s what matters most.”
The firm aims to provide justice to those facing devastating situations, from losing a family member to a drunk driver to becoming permanently disabled due to someone else’s carelessness. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on.
“The clients come to us during the worst times in their lives,” Michael explains. “They’re relying on us, and that can be daunting. It’s our job to ensure that they don’t settle for a penny-on-the-dollar offer.”
The Mainetti brothers are unyielding in their commitment to their clients. They often face experienced attorneys from prominent law firms and large insurance companies, known for their resources and tactics to prolong cases. However, they stand firm, driven by their motto: “We Push Back.”
“When the opposing counsel realizes we’re willing to take a case to trial, it shifts the dynamics,” Alex says. “They often reconsider and decide it’s time to settle for what the case is truly worth.”
This tenacity places Mainetti & Mainetti in a unique position. Their track record of multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements is a testament to their effectiveness, making the firm a go-to for other attorneys facing particularly challenging cases.
“There’s a real respect that comes with our history and the results we’ve achieved,” Michael states. “Insurance companies keep files on every attorney they face. They know who we are, what we’re capable of, and they understand that we won’t settle for less.”
The Mainetti brothers’ affinity for the legal world is rooted in their upbringing. As sons of a successful attorney, they spent their formative years immersed in legal work, even accompanying their father to night court and assisting with client transportation.
“It’s our family business,” Michael shares. “We always realized that we had a choice to either continue our father’s legacy or allow it to end. We chose to dedicate our careers to this firm.”
With Alfred Mainetti still involved as a partner, albeit in a more advisory capacity, the firm remains committed to its foundational values while building on its legacy.
As Mainetti & Mainetti continues to grow, it remains dedicated to fighting for justice on behalf of its clients, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve in their most challenging times. Whether facing giants in the courtroom or advocating for those in need, the firm stands resolute that their clients will never face these battles alone.
