We understand what’s at stake.
When people contact us, they’re often facing challenges that extend far beyond a legal problem. They may be worried about:
- Their health
- Their income
- Their family
- Their future
That’s why our approach goes beyond legal representation.
We focus on helping people understand their rights, protect their benefits, and move forward with confidence.

Four things that have not changed in more than 93 years of representing New York workers.

Find an officeA legacy of advocacy.
For generations, The Disability Guys have been advocates not only for individual clients, but for injured workers throughout New York.
Our firm helped shape many of the laws and protections that injured workers rely on today, reflecting our longstanding commitment to protecting workers’ rights and improving outcomes for those we serve.
We believe advocacy doesn’t end with a single case. It means helping create a system that better protects workers and their families for generations to come.
What clients say.
For generations, clients have trusted The Disability Guys when they needed answers, support, and someone they could trust. Here’s what they say.
“Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. provided exceptional service. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. They guided me through every step of the process and kept me well-informed. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.”

What we believe.
- We believe every worker deserves to understand their rights.
- We believe people should be treated with dignity and respect.
- We believe informed clients make better decisions.
- And we believe legal representation should be measured not only by outcomes, but by how people are treated throughout the process.
Why people keep coming back.
Many of our clients come to us through referrals from former clients, healthcare providers, unions, community organizations, and professional partners.
We view that trust as one of the greatest compliments we can receive.
It’s something we’ve worked to earn for more than 93 years.
