About
Growing up, Jonathan Ratchik knew that he wanted to make a difference. To help people get back up when life knocked them down. To be their voice when no one seemed to listen or care. In hindsight, it seems only natural that Jonathan went to law school and, after graduating, immediately became a personal injury attorney.Throughout his legal career, Jonathan has fought for the rights of injured New Yorkers, standing up to the insurance companies and big corporations who too often put profits before people. Whether it’s the bicyclist who gets struck by a distracted driver, the pedestrian who trips due to a dangerous and defective sidewalk, or the construction worker who suffers a debilitating injury because a building owner failed to provide a safe jobsite, Jonathan works tirelessly to make sure his clients receive justice and the compensation they deserve.Jonathan also understands that many of the wars which are won inside the courtroom only happen because of the smaller battles that take place outside it. With an unrivaled attention to detail, Jonathan takes particular pride in making sure that the firm’s legal papers, which can spell the difference between victory and defeat at trial, are second to none. He’s also amassed an impressive track record on appeal in Second Circuit and the First and Second Judicial Departments, doing whatever is necessary to give his clients their day in court when others would have thrown in the towel.Jonathan lives in New York City with his wife, Hollie, and their two children. When he’s not fighting in the courtroom, Jonathan enjoys coaching his son’s little league team, listening to the Yankees on the radio, and being a great husband (and an even better dad). He’s also a proud supporter and volunteer for Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy group that is committed to making NYC a safer, more enjoyable place for all New Yorkers to walk, bike and live.

Jonathan is an exceptional attorney. He is mild mannered and caring. Each step of the process is explained in detail. Jonathan’s negotiating skills are superb. If you are looking for a truthful attorney, I would recommend Jonathan. You will not be disappointed!
I would like to recommend the law firm of Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchick, PLLC, based on our experience in engaging them to represent us as plaintiffs in a personal injury matter. Throughout the protracted process and despite the court delays due to Covid 19, the entire KD&R firm was thorough, efficient, professional and, perhaps most importantly, always accessible and available (which is not universally the experience people have in legal matters). The results were more than merely satisfactory, from the Pleadings, through Discovery, and the granting of Summary Judgement on the issue of liablity, and during negotiations for the acceptable final settlement we received.
Jonathan Ratchik provided useful information for a malpractice case I was working on. I would definitely consider using him for future work.
We are residents of Rhode Island and were required to engagea New York attorney to represent us in an accident case. After interviewing several we chose Jonathan because of his compassion and his ability to clearly explain the process and timeline. Throughout the year+ process there was full transparency and the expectations, potential pit-falls and deadlines were always clearly communicated. Jonathan is sharp, knowledgeable, professional, very pleasant and personable. We highly recommend Jonathan and his firm for legal representation.
I am so grateful a friend recommended Jonathan to me for a personal injury case. I met with Jonathan for a consultation and immediately felt at ease and taken care of. Jonathan and his firm made my journey to fight my case as painless as possible. There was full transparency along the way and the expectations and deadlines were always communicated. Jonathan is sharp, knowledgeable and confident. His assistant was very pleasant, personable and supportive. I highly recommend Jonathan and his firm for legal representation!
Jonathan is an exceptional lawyer and helped me navigate a very tricky product liability situation. He worked diligently on my case for approximately 18 months and always kept me informed of the process. Most lawyers shied away from my case due to the unusual nature of the situation, but Jonathan jumped in with gusto. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a guide and legal representative - highly recommended!
I am so pleased with the service Mr. Ratchik and his law office provided. He was focused, diligent, hard working and above all compassionate. He is a good man and a great lawyer. I would highly recommend him.
Jonathan is an excellent lawyer! He is smart, communicative, honest, and handled my case with care. He explained the claims process very thoroughly and was very supportive. I highly recommend him.
I used the service for an accident and since day one they explained everything to me about the process, the expectations and timeline so I kne what to expect and thanks to the dedication I had favorable outcome thanks to the negociation skills the settlement was adequate.
Nearly two and a half years ago I was hit by a car while crossing a street. A close family friend highly recommended the firm Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik. From the very first moment I met with Jonathan, I knew I was in good hands. I was injured and very nervous about the prospect of going through the legal process. Jonathan explained the steps and promised to walk me through the journey-he did. Jonathan assisted with every segment of my case including dealing with the Insurance Company which was not an easy thing! Whenever I called Jonathan he quickly responded to my needs. Jonathan was always there for me. There was no issue too small or too large. Jonathan is well versed in every aspect of personal injury and always gave me excellent advice. I cannot express how happy I was and can honestly encourage anyone who needs a fantastic attorney and compassionate person, Jonathan Ratchik is the one! Diane W. Heath
