Salvatore Marino, Esq. is a founding member of Dalli & Marino, LLP, and has been the managing partner of the firm since its inception in 1996. He has over 25 years of experience in litigating all types of personal injury matters, representing clients in New York City, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County and Westchester.
Bio
Admitted to practice in New York in 1995, Sal has decades of experience handling negligence claims. Since 2007, he has concentrated much of his practice on cases involving nursing home abuse and neglect, assisted living facilities, home health care, and other issues affecting elderly and vulnerable individuals.
Sal personally guides clients through the intake and pre-litigation phases of their cases. He evaluates whether a potential claim should move forward, reviews the available medical evidence, and works with qualified medical experts to determine whether the care provided fell below applicable standards. This careful process allows families to understand the strengths and challenges of a potential case before a lawsuit is filed.
When the evidence supports moving forward, Sal files the complaint and coordinates the transition to the firm’s litigation team, with John Dalli generally taking the lead during active litigation and trial. This coordinated approach gives clients direct access to experienced partners at every stage, from the initial evaluation through the courtroom.
Sal also manages the firm’s Surrogate’s Court practice. Because many nursing home negligence cases involve residents who have passed away, a family member may need to be appointed as the legal representative of the estate before a claim can proceed or funds can be collected and distributed. Sal guides families through this separate process, helping them secure the necessary appointment and navigate related estate, Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party lien issues.
Raised in Queens as the son of deaf parents, Sal learned American Sign Language and saw firsthand how communication barriers and a lack of accommodation could place people with disabilities at a disadvantage. Those experiences shaped his commitment to advocating for people who may not be able to speak for themselves and his understanding of the patience, accessibility, and personal attention families need during difficult circumstances.
Under Sal’s leadership, Dalli & Marino has evaluated thousands of potential elder-care claims and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for elder-care residents and their families. He has helped build the firm around a partner-led approach that combines focused knowledge of nursing home and long-term care cases with empathy, accessibility, and a commitment to holding negligent institutions accountable.

My family and I were recommended to Dalli & Marino LLP when we were looking for a law firm to help us regarding a case involving negligence that was suffered by a family member who resided in an assisted living facility and who is unfortunately no longer with us. From the very first meeting, we knew we were in the right hands and that our legal needs would be met and our expectations were definitely exceeded. Throughout the entire process, we were always treated with the utmost of care, concern, kindness, compassion and patience all of which were needed while navigating through such a tumultuous time in our lives. Everyone that we worked with at Dalli & Marino LLP were extremely knowledgeable and professional and made sure to keep us in the loop throughout the entire process. Without the legal advice and legal services that were provided to us by Dalli & Marino, LLP we never could have achieved the outcome that we did. I would highy recommend Dalli & Marino LLP to anyone in need of excellent legal services!
