About

Our professional practice is dedicated to personal injury law with the goal of helping accident victims and their families. I have personally recovered millions of dollars in settlements and awards for his injury clients in the past few years alone. In 2012 I  recovered $3.85 Million on behalf of a motorcyclist against a local county agency which is believed to be the highest such award against such an entity ever achieved in that county. Our firm's practice covers all areas of personal injury including auto, motorcycle, and truck accidents, construction accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, and other accidents. More important, however, is our dedication and attention to detail with each case we handle. Regardless of the size of the case, we strive to ensure thorough preparation, diligent representation, and timely results. We are  committed to a practice that provides integrity, compassion, and responsiveness to every one of our clients. The numerous attorney and client referrals we have received, as well as the testimonials from former clients, attest to our firm's professional dedication and quality of work. We would like to help you on your injury case!

I would like to share a little bit about Steve and his staff...I was injured pretty badly in a fall at no fault of my own. Nervous , scared what I would do after Er visit and 3 surgeries later Mr Proudfoot assured me all would be ok and he would handle everything and he did handle everything. I didn't worry about anything if I called his office I always got an answer but honestly I didn't really have to call. I would just to ask if they got everything they needed I would have never guessed I would have been taken care of so well as I was with him and his staff . Anyone who needs help without worrying about it should see him .

I will start by saying Mr proudfoot was not our first choice or our second but I will say third time definitely a charm. After my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident where she was involved in personal property damage, we were left wondering what exactly we were liable for concerning the other party. So we did probably what mosth people do who fell victim to whoever had the catchiest commercial on TV take it from personal experience we were so wrong lol so my wife dialed 8 and of course all we did was wait. Our first attorney made phone contact we never met anyone from that office and quite frankly sat there stale and stagnant, so much for big city lawyers needless to say. We eventually made the right decision to call Steve Proud foot I was shocked right away we met face to face with not just a paralegal but with Steve directly he gave us a rundown of the procedure and what to expect . Then steve not only went above and beyond but had many face to face meetings. Throughout this journey you could tell overtime he actually cared about my wife, her needs and took care of our family needs. He was a big city lawyer with a small town heart and when he said not to worry he would take care of everything we actually believed him and he showed us that not only does he know the case law and procedure but he talked to us so we would understand. He did just that took care of my wife's needs got us a reasonable settlement without even stepping foot in a court room. So again he got us big city results and we never left our small town atmosphere. Steve your my first call from here on out no question and heaven for bid if I need one in the future there's only 1 choice from here on out.

I was very pleased with the job that Steven Proudfoot did with my case!! I was surprised with the outcome. Attorney Proudfoot communicated with me through the whole process, and followed through with everything he said. The stress of the whole situation was lifted, and I am very thankful.

I would recommend Steve Proudfoot, to any of my family and friends. This guy will work for you, he doesn't take no for an answer when it comes to negotiating with insurance companies. Steve maintained constant contact through every step of the way. If you ever need a personal injury lawyer, Steve Proudfoot is the clear choice. No other lawyer in this area could've produced the same results for me.

This man went above and beyond for us. He kept us informed every step of the journey. A journey which turned out to be much less aggravating than we thought it might be. We would recommend Steve Proudfoot for ANY and ALL your legal needs.

If your looking for an outstanding lawyer look no further than Steve Proudfoot. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of my friends refer him to me after my automobile accident. I was injured and had to have a c6-7 fusion to repair my neck. This took me out of work for a few months and I was worried about how I was going to pay my bills and cover the medical costs of surgery. From the second Steve took the case, he handled every aspect of it and put my mind at ease. All bills and medical costs were covered and he did an exceptional job of helping me get a settlement for my pain and suffering. Steve is so approachable, he will answer all your questions and concerns promptly and professionally. If you want a lawyer who displays genuine care and concern for you and your family, then Steve Proudfoot is the lawyer you want handling your case.

I was severely injured in an auto accident in Rochester, NY and found attorney Steve Proudfoot through a friend who lived in Elmira. I suffered multiple injuries including a broken leg and wrist. I was out of work for months and could not pay all my bills. I contacted Steve and he got on the case immediately. He helped me with my lost income, medical bills, and got me money for my pain and suffering and all the impact on my quality of life. I am glad I had Steve by my side..I dont know how I would have gotten through this otherwise. Steve is the man!
