NEW YORK—Personal injury attorneys have long been stigmatized as low life bottom feeders waiting to profit off of someone else’s misfortune. Despite the long-lived stereotype fueled by Hollywood movies, Phil Castaldi happened upon a way to remove the stigma and gain respect from the many people he helps everyday.
Castaldi, a New York City personal injury attorney and avid cyclist, began focusing his practice on cyclists involved in accidents and has become a “go to guy” in the NYC biking community.
“People are always saying, ‘got to call Phil,’ or ‘got to call Lucarelli and Castaldi,'” said Castaldi at his Wall Street office.
