About Darius Paduch Lawsuit

Guilty Verdict Is Not Enough!

“Institutions who have lied, who ​​gaslit, who exposed completely ​​unsuspecting patients to known serial ​​sexual predator... The case against ​​these institutions is just getting started”

-Attorney Anthony T. DiPietro

Dr. Darius Paduch, a disgraced Manhattan ​urologist, was convicted on Wednesday, May 8, ​2024, for sexually assaulting patients, including ​five minor boys, under the guise of medical ​treatment. The verdict, delivered unanimously ​by a Manhattan Federal Court Jury, found ​Paduch guilty on all 11 counts related to his ​sexual abuse of five minors and 2 adults, as ​confirmed by the Manhattan US Attorney’s ​Office.

For over 20 years, the institutions of New York- Presbyterian, Weill-Cornell Medical Center and Northwell Health, have concealed Paduch's fraudulent medical conduct and aided him to exploit male patients under the guise of medical care.

At The DiPietro Law Firm, we believe that these abuses started as early as 2003 based on the stories of numerous patients who have come forward. Paduch’s subsequent resignation at Weill-Cornell was the result of numerous complaints filed by patients over a 15 year span. Yet, Weill-Cornell accepted Paduch's resignation without reporting him to the authorities, allowing him to continue his predatory behavior unchecked at Northwell.

"He found employment at Northwell due to Weill-Cornell’s failure to fulfill their obligation to report him to the authorities,” Attorney Anthony T. DiPietro told ABC News.

We at the DiPietro Law Firm believe the fight is not over. The institutions that protected Paduch are answerable to all the patients who came forward and hundreds of others are just now learning about this cover-up. We are doing the work that is necessary to hold Weill-Cornell, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Northwell accountable for their fraud & cover-up.

FAQs 

Can I file anonymously?

Yes! You will automatically be anonymous in all settlements papers and court documents. We will only use your actual name if you specifically direct us to do so. Otherwise, you will be listed as "Jane or John Doe". 

Is there a cost for legal services?

We only work on a contingency basis. That means you don't pay anything unless we win. If we don't win, then you don't owe us anything.
If you’re talking to lawyer, and they ask to pay money up front for things like court fees, or the cost of an expert to review your medical records, run! You don’t have to come to me. But go to someone else. No lawyer worth their salt will charge you anything out of pocket to handle a case like this.
And that’s important for two reasons. If a lawyer is willing to take your case on a contingency fee, it means:
(1) they believe in your case; and
(2) they believe in themselves. In order for us to get any legal fees, we have to win your case.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, is there support for me?

I understand how difficult it can be when trying to come to terms with what happened. Because of this, our firm is the first law firm in the nation to hire psychologists, therapists and social workers to help clients cope with these challenges. What's even more important, is that we're offering these services at absolutely no cost to you.
Regardless of whether you want a little help completing one of the forms, or if you're interested in regular therapy appointments, we're here to help you navigate this process. All you need to do is just call of fill out our questionnaire.

How will I get updates about my case?

We will be sending out periodic case updates. It's our philosophy that this is your case, and we believe it is important to include you in all the important decisions that will be made. Therefore, we will never do anything like settle your case without talking to you about it first. You're the boss, and we work for you.

When will I receive a settlement?

This is difficult to predict. We would love to resolve your case quickly. But it is equally (if not more) important that we get you the highest amount possible. A lot of lawyers out there will settle cases quickly, but for way too cheap. We're not like that, and we will never be like that. So, if your case is taking longer than you'd like, just remember that "quick money means low money" in this business. That's why it's sometimes necessary to take a little extra time to beat up the defendants, so they understand that paying
a proper settlement amount (not a low settlement amount) is the only way to make us stop.

How much is my case worth?

Our last round of settlements against Robert Hadden and Columbia University was a record-breaking $ 165,081,000 million for 147 clients. That's over $ 1.12 million on a per person average.

Can You Be My Attorney if I Made a Mistake and Signed a Retainer With a Different Law Firm?

Yes, you can switch to us at any time. You have the right to pick any lawyer you want. In fact, I’ve heard from several clients who’ve seen an advertisement from some vulture-lawyer, but didn’t realize at first that the other lawyer has absolutely no experience in these cases against Hadden and Columbia.
I’ve even heard of instances where a lawyer lied to the client, and told her that once they’ve signed a retainer, they’re not allowed to switch. That same law firm then tried to guilt a different woman into staying with them, by leaving a ridiculous message on her voicemail about how she owed them because they spent money on the google ad she saw online:
 
This isn’t the middle ages, where once you get married you can’t leave. You can choose whoever you want to represent you. And if you’d like to join our firm, we’ll even take care of contacting the other lawyer and letting them know that you’re with us now. And it will never cost you anything extra in legal fees when you switch to us. So you will never have to worry about paying two lawyers. We’ll take care of that for you as well.
We’re looking forward to working with you. Just call me or fill out the form.
