ALYCE WITTENSTEINattorney artist activist
Alyce Wittenstein is an energetic leader who loves to take on challenges. From fighting insurance companies to organizing protests to touring with her dystopian comedic films, she gives everything she does her all. Her worldview came into focus working with Howard Zinn at Boston University, combatting infringements on the right to protest during the Reagan Era. She went to create prophetic political science films that, more than 25 years after they were made. The most well known is the trilogy “Multiple Futures and Other Paranoid Fantasies.” It is uncanny how these films predicted the oligarchy we face right now during the Musk/Trump administration. She toured the United States, Europe and Asia with her films.
Alyce went to attend CUNY Law School, where she was a teaching assistant to the late great civil rights attorney Haywood Burns, helping students understand the complexities of Constitutional Law. While at CUNY, she founded the CUNY Human Rights Delegation to Haiti that traveled to Europe to meet with politicians and stakeholders, including former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
After passing the New York Bar Exam and being admitted to law practice, she joined her father’s personal injury practice that became Wittenstein & Wittenstein, Esqs. PC. The success of this sixty-plus year old practice is treating clients with empathy while fighting like hell to get insurance companies to pay up. The practice has expanded to helping small businesses succeed and families get through difficult times.
CLIENTS PREFER A WOMAN LAWYER
Even though women now represent about 50% of law school graduates, there are very few women personal injury lawyers, even though it is well-established that many accident victims prefer a woman attorney. Accident victims feel more comfortable with women lawyers because they tend to be more sensitive and empathetic. Women who have suffered disfiguring injuries are less self-conscious showing these injuries to another woman, and discussing them with her. Men are also more comfortable with women attorneys, who they feel pay “motherly” attention to them, in ways that men do not tend to do.
If you are looking for a New York City woman accident attorney, you make sure that the lawyer you choose has enough experience with personal injury law, so that your case is handled properly and resolved as quickly as possible. It is equally important that the firm handling the case is well-established and has a good reputation. Insurance companies feel more pressure to offer a large settlement when an accident victim is represented by a prestigious law firm.
