FAQs
How do I choose a personal injury lawyer in New York?
There is no universal “best.” Use a consistent checklist: verify the lawyer's license and discipline history, confirm relevant practice focus, ask about fee terms (often contingency), and compare communication and case-handling process. This site is educational only and does not rank providers.
What is a contingency fee?
A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where a lawyer may collect a fee only if there is a recovery. Terms vary and should be confirmed in writing before signing.
What should I verify before signing with a firm?
Verify licensing, review engagement terms in writing, ask who will handle the matter day-to-day, and confirm how updates and costs are communicated. Avoid relying on marketing claims.
