Protecting Union Workers and Advocates with Schotter Millican

At Schotter Millican, we are dedicated to standing up for the rights of workers across New York, especially those who may be affiliated with various unions and organizations. While we are not directly affiliated with the groups listed below, we are familiar with the challenges faced by their members. As a New York Workers' Compensation law firm, we focus on ensuring that injured workers receive the compensation they deserve in a system that often favors employers and insurance companies. Our mission is to protect the interests of all workers, advocating on their behalf throughout the legal process.
