Avvo Rating William Ferro

-William Ferro

William Ferro

William “Bill” Ferro is a premier personal injury litigator and the founding force behind Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers, a firm built on the principle that elite legal representation is a right, not a privilege. Bill has built a powerhouse reputation for securing multi-million dollar recoveries for the Latino community in high-stakes trucking, construction site accidents, and catastrophic injury cases.

He is recognized by his peers as a New York Super Lawyer, a distinction he has held for over 15 consecutive years, placing him in the top 5% of attorneys in the state. As Managing Partner, Ferro’s influence is woven into the fabric of every case the firm handles. Rejecting the “settlement mill” mentality and believing people deserve better, he pioneered a “Partner-Led Strategy” where he, along with his top-rated partners, personally mastermind the approach for every client’s matter. His reputation is defined by a flat refusal to accept “no” from insurance carriers, often stepping in to recalibrate a case’s trajectory when liability is contested or initial offers are insufficient.

Bill’s leadership extends from the boardroom to the community. He has spent decades cultivating a firm culture that is deeply rooted in the New York and Long Island Latino communities. At the heart of his practice is a simple, unwavering standard: every client receives the full weight of the firm’s resources and Bill’s decades of tactical expertise, ensuring that justice is never out of reach.

A graduate of Brooklyn Law School, Mr. Ferro is a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, New York State Trial Lawyers Association and is a volunteer for Lawyers Providing Assistance to Victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Top trial lawyers in America badge - Ken Mangano

“As a trial attorney for over 4o years I understand that while I have had thousands of trials, for my client’s it is likely their first and only one. Having that knowledge and understanding we spend countless hours reviewing their case and going over potential trial testimony. At Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers our attorneys and our clients will always be the best prepared of all the parties in a courtroom. That is how we win, time and time again.”

-Ken Mangano

Kenneth Mangano

Kenneth “Ken” Mangano is a heavyweight in the New York legal arena, recognized for over 15 consecutive years as a New York Super Lawyer. He specializes in high-stakes litigation involving construction accidents, New York Labor Law, lead poisoning, and medical malpractice.

He has earned a rare and prestigious distinction within the legal community: he is frequently called upon as “Trial Counsel to the Bar”. When other law firms reach a stalemate with insurance carriers or face a complex trial they cannot win alone, he is the first call they make to take the lead in the courtroom. His reputation is built on a methodical and relentless style of advocacy that leaves no room for excuses from opposing counsel and a refusal to settle for anything less than a case’s true value.

For Ken, a trial is a calculated battle where his deep understanding of complex liability ensures his clients are always the best-prepared party in the room. He treats every case with the urgency it deserves, knowing that for many, this is their only shot at true justice.

A graduate of California Western School of Law, Mr. Mangano is a long-standing member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the American Trial Lawyers Association, and the Brooklyn Bar Association.

“After 12 years litigating for major insurance companies, I don’t have to guess what their next move is – I already know it. I’ve seen the playbook they use to minimize claims, and now I use that exact knowledge to ensure they can’t use it against my clients.”

-Paola Moncion, Esq.

Paola Moncion, Esq.

Paola Moncion doesn’t just litigate personal injury cases; she deconstructs them from the inside out. With over a decade of experience as corporate staff counsel for the world’s largest insurance companies, Paola spent 12 years in the trenches of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, learning exactly how insurance carriers evaluate – and devalue – and litigate claims.

Today, this seasoned attorney uses that “insider playbook” to flip the script on her former employers. At the firm, she represents plaintiffs in high-exposure motor vehicle, premises liability, and New York Labor Law construction accidents. Because she knows the specific metrics and tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts, she is able to anticipate their defense moves before they even make them. This strategic foresight allows her to maximize recoveries for the injured, often uncovering value where other attorneys might miss it.

Paola’s reputation was forged in the high-volume courtrooms of New York City and Long Island, where she managed every phase of litigation from inception through jury trial. A former Moot Court finalist at Hofstra Law and a magna cum laude graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, she pairs a rigorous investigative background with a philosopher’s eye for detail.

Fluent in Spanish and a fierce advocate for her community, Paola is known for her meticulous preparation and her refusal to be intimidated. She doesn’t just navigate the legal system; she commands it, ensuring that every client receives the relentless, insider-level advocacy they deserve.
