Famighetti & Weinick, PLLC

Civil Rights Lawyers Join Forces to Open New Firm

February 3, 2014

Peter J. Famighetti has partnered with friend and colleague Matthew Weinick to open a new law firm, Famighetti & Weinick, PLLC.  Concentrating in the area of civil rights and employment law, Weinick says the firm’s goal is to provide “accessible and quality” legal services.  “Too often, people who need access to lawyers the most can’t afford them. As civil rights lawyers, we believe that everyone should have access to quality legal services,” explained Weinick. 

“Equally important is that lawyers be available to their clients when needed. We’re using new technology, such as skype and advanced telephone calling software, to reduce overhead and keep us connected to our clients,” says Famighetti. 

Famighetti reports that Weinick and he met while working together in government.  “We didn’t have many resources so we learned to be lawyers without expensive equipment and teams of support staff.”  The partners noted that they believe their experience in government built character in them. Famighetti added, “Partners in large private firms have legions of associates researching and writing. We did everything ourselves, but we learned so much that way.”

Based out of Melville, Long Island, Famighetti and Weinick say their location is convenient because it is on the Nassau-Suffolk border.  Weinick noted, “We’re just off the LIE on the South Service Road, so our office is physically accessible, as well.”
