We are offering the $1,000 Hurwitz, Whitcher, and Molloy Accident Injury Scholarship to people who currently attend or are planning on attending an accredited United States college, university, or graduate school soon.

Highway crashes and collisions represent the single largest category of accidental deaths, and they are the most common cause of death among children and young adults.

Client Testimonials

As a disabled claimant, I can’t thank Hurwitz, Whitcher & Molloy enough for guiding me through these past fourteen years. No one else wanted my Workers’ Compensation case. No one! It was complicated. There were a lot of issues that made things difficult. They stuck with it well over a decade with preparedness, intelligence and grace. Mister Melvyn, he’s a good guy. Cathy, she’s so amazing.

- Salli B.

I became a client of the Hurwitz firm in May of 1997 due to injuries I received while I was a meat cutter at I. Isenberg Meats in Buffalo, New York. Since my first encounter with your firm and up until the present day, I have been entirely satisfied with the way your firm has treated me.
