Bottar Leone, PLLC, is a premier Upstate New York law firm specializing in the prosecution and trial of medical malpractice, construction site accident, dangerous product and severe personal injury cases.  The Firm has, since 1983, helped more than eight thousand individuals and families secure compensation for life-altering physical injuries, permanent disabilities, wrongful death, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of companionship, guidance, wages, benefits and estate.

Based in Syracuse, New York, our team of accomplished trial attorneys and skilled support staff field a wide range of injury and wrongful death cases throughout New York State.  Those cases arise out of medical malpractice, hospital errors, failure(s) to diagnose, surgical errors, birth injury and birth trauma, construction accidents, industrial and workplace accidents, defective products and dangerous medications, car accidents, tractor trailer accidents and trucking accidents, bus accidents, SUV accidents, train accidents, boating and watersport accidents, plane accidents, bridge, roadway and structure failures, premises liability and toxic torts.

Led by Anthony S. Bottar, recently honored as Best Lawyers® Syracuse Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year, and Edward S. Leone, the Firm has, for nearly three decades, devoted 100% of its human, capital and expert resources to forging hundreds of millions of dollars* in recoveries for clients in more than thirty-one counties across Upstate, Central, Western and Northern New York.  

While the Firm is selective in accepting cases, it never retreats from meritorious claims simply because they are costly or challenging to prove.  We make this pledge to the community, and our clients, because our attorneys firmly believe that anyone seriously injured due to negligence or medical malpractice deserves their day in court.  Consistent with our conviction, all malpractice and injury cases accepted by the Firm are handled on a contingency basis – which means that we are not paid for our time unless you recover.

While this website provides an overview of our experience, the nature of our plaintiff’s only practice, our honors and awards, our dedication to the community, and our ability to repeatedly* resolve high-profile, complex and aggressively-defended personal injury and medical malpractice cases to the satisfaction of our clients, it is not a substitute for a telephone conversation or in-person meeting with one of our attorneys about your potential case.
