Founder & Lead Counsel

Jay Hawlader, Esq.

Personal Injury & Employment Attorney

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Jay Hawlader understands the people and communities he serves. A graduate of Brooklyn Law School, Jay has secured millions of dollars in settlements for his clients, including multiple six-figure recoveries, while representing individuals in personal injury and employment matters throughout New York.

As an attorney, Jay has practiced on both the plaintiff and defense sides of litigation, giving him a unique perspective into how insurance companies, corporations, and defense attorneys evaluate and defend claims. He uses that experience to anticipate opposing strategies, identify weaknesses early, and build stronger cases for his clients.

Jay's practice focuses heavily on serious motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, employment discrimination, retaliation, and other complex civil matters. He is known for taking on difficult and heavily contested cases, including matters other firms have declined, and for approaching every case with thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and a willingness to litigate when necessary.

At Hawlader Law, clients receive direct communication, personal attention, and an attorney prepared to fight for them from the beginning of the case through its conclusion.
