Mehmet Gokce
He has worked both sides — for insurance carriers and then for plaintiffs' firms — and says he has never lost a jury verdict as either a prosecutor or a civil attorney. His firm's article is the only one in this batch that treats app-based delivery drivers as a separate problem from rideshare, with different and more conditional coverage.
The bar record
We read Mehmet Gokce in the New York State Unified Court System’s Attorney Detail Report. Only the shaded green row is generated by the court; the rows marked attorney-supplied were filed by him.
New York vouches for one line of this. The court system’s own disclaimer states that the Detail Report contains information provided by the attorney, except registration status, which is generated from the Office of Court Administration’s database. It further states that an attorney’s good standing and any information regarding disciplinary actions must be confirmed with the appropriate Appellate Division Department. So “currently registered” is the court’s own fact. “No record of discipline” is displayed by the court system but comes with an instruction to verify it elsewhere — and we haven’t. That is why the discipline figure above is a dash and not a tick.
And it tells you which office to ask. Mehmet Gokce was admitted through the 2nd Department, so that is the department a reader would need to write to. Of the twenty-one lawyers on our New York pages, fifteen were admitted through the Second and six through the First. No other register we use sends you somewhere else to finish the check — and none of the others tells you where.
What the record shows
The firm’s article separates DoorDash and Uber Eats delivery crashes from rideshare crashes and explains that delivery platform liability cover may be conditional on the delivery state at the moment of the crash. No other page in this batch does that, and it is a real distinction for anyone hit by a delivery rider.Verified
It also raises the New York City TLC layer — that many Uber and Lyft vehicles in the city are regulated as for-hire vehicles with their own insurance and documentation rules — and links its claims to the platforms’ own published insurance pages rather than restating them.Verified
His address of record is in Melville, Suffolk County, about forty miles east of Manhattan. That is the furthest of the twenty-one listings on this page, and about the same distance we accepted for Tacoma in the Seattle metro. His own firm page calls it the Long Island office.Verified
He says he never lost a jury verdict as a prosecutor or as a civil attorney. That is a claim about a record we cannot audit, and it is tagged as his.Verified
What the firm says
He says he graduated from Cornell University and Columbia Law School — the register confirms the law school — and spent his first years at the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office handling felony gun and violent gang cases.Reported
He says he has worked both for insurance carriers and for plaintiffs’ firms, including one of the country’s most recognisable plaintiffs’ personal injury firms, and has never lost a jury verdict.Reported
He says he speaks three languages proficiently, including Spanish and Turkish, and is admitted in the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.Reported
