Unfortunately the innocent are not always found “Innocent” and the guilty are not always found “Guilty”.

• Divide Families

Having your case presented in the best possible light and tipping the scales of Justice in your favor, is normally a life changing event for you.

Not all New York Construction Accident Attorneys are Created Equally

Unfortunately, most people who find themselves in the middle of a legal battle do not take the most IMPORTANT things into consideration when selecting the best Lawyers in New York.

1) Proficiency in the Field - As a licensed New York Attorney, we know there are many different types of Law Firms and many types of litigation. It is important to realize that each type of litigation requires an incredible commitment on the lawyer’s behalf to be considered capable, much less “THE EXPERT” on the topic.

With thousands of hours dedicated to studying various nuances in laws, not to mention the ever growing list of new cases and overturned decisions, the procedures involved in handling cases like yours are in a constant state of change.

This is why an Attorney in New York such as myself specializes. Specialists are much more likely to be completely up-to-date on all of the relevant aspects of law in your case and the varying degrees of relevant cases.

2) A Successful Track Record – There is an abundance of New York Construction Accident Attorneys that consider themselves to be experts.

One of the best ways to determine if your best interests are being protected is to look at past history.

It’s easy to get lost in numbers but, a great example would be: choosing an Attorney in New York that has 100 wins would seem impressive…unless you were aware that there had also been 400 losses (a 25% rate of success).

What’s more important is the win loss ratio, in other words look at the win/loss percentages.

While History is no guarantee of future performance, it is a great indicator of what to expect.

3) Respect Amongst Peers & The Courts – It is common knowledge that 20% of New York Law Firms handle 80% of the cases.

One of the insider secrets to getting the best outcome for your case is to select from a group of New York Construction Accident Attorneys that are not only held in high regard by their peers, but also by the courts.

The majority of cases are resolved before they even reach the courtroom and this is where your lawyer’s reputation comes into consideration. Your attorney’s level of respect within the industry plays a key role in critical negotiations as well as the overall process and final outcome.

4) True Advocacy – Finding a Lawyer in New York whose key focus is your best interest is another integral part of your overall selection process.

The truth is that almost anyone can become an attorney, but becoming an outstanding Lawyer in New York doesn’t happen simply upon passing the bar. The difference between winning and losing in many court proceedings comes from an attorney’s genuine commitment to being your advocate.

Having a steadfast Attorney strongly defending your best interest with both skill and empathy will play a vital role in the final outcome in the case.

5) Likability – Although it may seem irrelevant or even silly to suggest this, I believe that in any professional relationship there must be a strong element of likability and rapport.

We have found that likability and rapport starts with compassion for your situation.

We understand that bad things happen to good people. This is a serious time in your life that comes with feelings of helplessness and a sense of being out of control which can be overwhelming.

Based on extensive experience and our understanding of these challenges, we have found that taking the time to clearly understand your case then creating a plan that aligns with your best interest provides you with a clear picture of your options and brings a level of comfort to a challenging set of decisions.

6) Communication – Communication is the most common missing ingredient when selecting a competent Lawyer in New York.

Legal battles are challenging and confusing for everyone involved. The ability to communicate and translate complicated jargon and important issues in way that doesn’t require a law degree is a vital part of keeping you in the loop. Keeping your sense of what is happening along with where the case seems to be going.

This coupled with constant updates along the way add to your overall clarity and confidence.

7) Trust – Trust is the combination of these 6 key elements that creates an overall level of confidence in your attorney.

We are charged with making the best of an already difficult situation. The truth is that, most New York Construction Accident Attorney are not equipped to be effective business people.

Lawyers have been trained in Law, but not in necessarily in business. Many Attorneys lack the business skills to consistently provide these 7 Key Elements that produce a great outcome for you.

We have found that without all of these elements, the client does not get the time and attention and results that they deserve.

We have developed, practiced and honed this skill over time for ourselves and is why so many of our clients are referred to us.
