Our Practice Areas

Civil litigation covers a broad range of disputes, and our team brings focused experience to each of the following areas.

General Liability and Negligence

When an individual or business causes harm through carelessness or a failure to meet a basic duty of care, the consequences can be significant physically, financially, and emotionally. 

We represent clients pursuing or defending against general liability and negligence claims, working to establish or challenge fault, causation, and damages.

Personal Injury

Accidents and injuries caused by another party's negligence can leave victims facing medical bills, lost income, and long-term consequences that ripple through every part of life. 

We advocate for people who have been injured due to someone else's carelessness, pursuing full and fair compensation while holding negligent parties accountable for the harm they have caused.

Police Misconduct and Liability

When law enforcement oversteps constitutional boundaries through excessive force, false arrest, or other civil rights violations, the consequences can be life-altering. 

Our team represents those who have suffered harm at the hands of police misconduct, pursuing accountability against officers and departments throughout Westchester County with the same resolve and experience we bring to our criminal defense practice. 

Employment Law Claims

Workplace disputes involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, or wage and hour violations call for an attorney who understands both the legal framework and the real-world dynamics of the workplace. 

We represent employees and employers alike in these disputes, working toward resolutions that protect our clients' rights and professional standing.

Land Use

Disputes involving zoning, development approvals, and property use restrictions can stall projects and threaten significant financial investments. 

We represent property owners, developers, and residents in land use disputes, bringing strong, well-thought-out advocacy to municipal boards, planning commissions, and the courts when necessary.

Education Law

Students, families, and educators sometimes can find themselves in disputes involving disciplinary action, special education rights, or institutional policy. 

We provide experienced representation in education law matters, advocating for fair treatment and due process within Westchester County's school districts and educational institutions.

First Amendment Issues

Free speech and expression disputes often require an attorney who understands both constitutional principle and practical application. We represent clients in First Amendment matters, defending the fundamental rights to speech, assembly, and expression against governmental or institutional overreach.

Commercial Litigation, Mediation, and Arbitration

Business disputes can threaten relationships, revenue, and reputations alike. We handle commercial litigation matters, as well as mediation and arbitration proceedings, working to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting our clients' financial and operational interests.

We Know the Local Landscape

Civil lawsuits in our region are heavily shaped by local municipal rules and venue choices. Whether you are dealing with a commercial contract breach along the corporate corridors of Harrison and Rye, a zoning dispute before a local planning board in Greenburgh, or an employment dispute originating in Yonkers, the choice of where you file or defend a claim is critical. 

Our legal team understands the operational differences between local town and city courts, which handle smaller civil claims, and the centralized parts of the higher courts. By examining the geographic and financial parameters of your dispute early on, we work to build a case that aligns with regional evidentiary standards and positions you for a favorable resolution.

Let's Discuss the Civil Matter You're Facing

Civil litigation cases are best served by a lawyer who understands both the law and the stakes involved. With over 150 years of combined trial experience, Portale Randazzo LLP is prepared to advocate for you at every stage.

Our office is located in the heart of the White Plains business district, right off the I-287 corridor, offering convenient proximity to the Westchester County Court complex and the federal courthouse. Let's talk about your case. With a bilingual team, we serve both English and Spanish-speaking clients.

    I cannot recommend Rich Portale and his team highly enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. I was facing a situation that could have resulted in prison time, and thanks to their dedication, skill, and persistence, I was able to avoid that outcome. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I always knew what was happening with my case. His calm confidence and attention to detail made an incredibly stressful situation manageable.

    I can honestly say that I am relieved and happy to have chosen your firm as my attorney for my third DWI. I have worked hard through my treatment and appreciate the opportunity to make better choices for myself in the future. After being sentenced to a conditional discharge, I truly felt that I had found a team that was willing to fight for my case and genuinely cared about the results. I would also like to add that they have connections because of the well respected business they run. I will highly recommend Portale Randazzo to anyone in need of legal counsel. Thank you again for your hard work and support.

    Richard's level of care and attention meant a lot to me.

    Rich was an outstanding and well-spoken individual who carried himself with a strong sense of confidence. From the very beginning, he made it a priority to stay in touch and was consistently reliable throughout the entire process. One thing that really stood out was how he took the time to do weekly check-ins—not just to discuss progress, but to genuinely see how I was doing mentally and emotionally. I’m truly grateful I chose to work with him.

    Rich Portale told me that his job was to free me from worrying about my case. That's what he did.
