Laurence P. Banville, Esq. — New York Personal Injury Attorney
Managing Partner · Admitted in New York & Washington, D.C. · Former insurance-defense attorney, now fighting for the injured.
Laurence P. Banville is the Managing Partner of Banville Law and a New York personal injury attorney who serves as a bridge to recovery for people harmed by the negligence of others. Laurence and his team stand up to large insurance companies and corporations to help injured individuals and their families secure the compensation they deserve.
Born and raised in County Wexford, Ireland, Laurence earned his degree in Business and Legal Studies from University College Dublin, graduating summa cum laude. During his studies he completed a year abroad at the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium, studying law and business in French, and was honored with the UCD President’s Award for Excellence in Student Activities.
