About Severance Burko Spalter Masone & Laurette

Severance Burko Spalter Masone & Laurette operates out of Suite 2400 at 16 Court Street in downtown Brooklyn, putting them close to federal and state administrative offices where disability and workers compensation matters are handled. The firm has a 3.7 rating on Yelp based on a small number of reviews, and they focus their practice on two distinct but related areas of law that often affect the same working people who become unable to continue their jobs due to injury or illness. The attorneys at this firm understand that Social Security disability law and workers compensation law frequently overlap in real-world situations. A worker hurt on the job may pursue both a workers comp claim and eventually a Social Security disability application if their condition prevents them from returning to work long-term. Having attorneys familiar with both systems under one roof can be useful for clients navigating those parallel processes in New York.
