How Do You Know if a Personal Injury Lawyer Near Me Is Top Rated?

Look at Several Pages of the Injury Lawyer’s Website

Does the lawyer provide useful information showing substantial knowledge of personal injury law, or does the website look like a website company wrote it?

Take a look at a couple of our pages:

Ask Your Friends If They Could Call Their Personal Injury Lawyer

Ask your friends if they could call their personal injury lawyer after signing a retainer. We bet they could only speak with a lawyer when they hired the lawyer, and afterward, they could only speak with a secretary.

The two voicemails below prove you can call us almost anytime.

Listen to these 2 voicemails from clients who were shocked when Attorney Phil Franckel didn’t answer the phone:

There Used to Be Advantages of a Personal Injury Lawyer Near Me

  1. Your attorney is near the court where your case is.
  2. It’s easier to go see your attorney anytime you want.

The first reason is no longer necessary, and the second reason will never happen.

Your Personal Injury Attorney Is Near the Court Where Your Case Is

Personal injury lawyers often have offices near one of the New York Supreme Court houses, but they have cases in several counties in New York, and each county has a Supreme Court. When I worked for a personal injury law firm in New York City, I sometimes had to go to court in Riverhead, Long Island, because we also had clients in Suffolk County.

Lawyers previously had to go to court all the time. Your lawyer would have to go to court to purchase an index number to start your personal injury lawsuit and go back to court to file various papers.

Several court appearances were necessary for motions (a motion is a written argument submitted to the court asking for a court order). Motions used to be filed in court on paper, but the lawyer also had to go to court to argue the motion orally.

Today, lawsuits in New York are started by e-filing court papers. The Summons and Complaint are filed online at the court website, and the index number is paid by credit card online.

Motions are uploaded electronically to the court’s website and are no longer orally argued. Even court conferences, depositions, and EBTs are held by video.

All case documents are uploaded electronically to the court’s website and are immediately served upon all parties through the court’s website by email.

Your lawyer doesn’t have to go to court anymore, unless your case goes to trial. According to this article, 97% of cases are settled, but with car accidents and motorcycle accidents, almost all are settled because we often get the entire insurance policy limit.

Almost everything is done in court through the Internet!

Your Personal Injury Lawyer Can Work on Your Case Anywhere There is an Internet Connection

I have answered calls from clients while cruising the Mediterranean and on the Av. des Champs-Élysées in Paris (like Fifth Avenue in New York City).

I answered emails, researched Westlaw, and uploaded motion papers from my balcony on the cruise ship Jewel of the Seas in the Mediterranean, just like I was in my New York personal injury office. Here I am, working on my balcony of the cruise ship.

If My Personal Injury Lawyer Is Near Me, Is It Easier to See My Lawyer?

Unfortunately, even if your personal injury lawyer is near you, you probably won’t be able to see your lawyer when you want to.

The reality is that most personal injury clients can’t see their lawyer when they want to, and they can’t even reach their lawyer on the phone. Just try to call your lawyer after you sign a retainer. You’ll only speak with a secretary or paralegal.

But you can always call one of the Founding Partners at 1-800-HURT-911® on our personal phones.

If you were injured in an accident before, you probably already know that you couldn’t get an appointment to see your lawyer when you had questions or wanted to discuss your case. Chances are you couldn’t even speak to your lawyer and could only get a paralegal on the phone.

even if this personal injury lawyer is near me, you won't see this invisible lawyer after signing a retainer

You won’t see this personal injury lawyer near you after he gets your case!

Most personal injury attorneys meet their clients only to sign up their cases and, if a lawsuit is started, maybe an hour before their deposition. See how we prepare our clients in our office.

Will I Have to Go to Personal Injury Lawyer’s Office to Sign Papers?

Some personal injury lawyers require you to come to the office whenever they want you to sign papers. But you won’t see your lawyer, you’ll see a secretary.

You don’t have to come to our office to sign papers. You can sign papers electronically by email, which gets your case moving faster; we can mail the papers to you with a self-addressed stamped envelope, you can come to us, or we can come to you.

We have office locations throughout the New York City and Long Island metropolitan areas. Again, we can come to you, you can come to us, or you can sign a personal injury retainer by email so we can begin working on your case immediately after your accident.

If it’s convenient for you and you would like to meet with us, we can meet with you, no matter where you are. We can even come to you if you’re in upstate New York. We have clients from Long Island to Buffalo.

Can I Go to My Lawyer’s Office to Get My Case Status?

You can always come to see us, but you can call or text us on our personal phones seven days/nights, so you don’t have to come into our office to ask a question or find out the status of your case.

We always take calls from our clients on our personal phones, seven days/nights. That’s why I took calls from clients in Paris, on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, and in the recovery room in a hospital.

There are very rare times when even we can’t be reached, but we’ll call back immediately, or you can try us a couple of hours later. Phil Franckel even answered a client’s call while in the recovery room, still groggy from anesthesia after a colonoscopy and another time after surgery with general anesthesia!

Listen to these 2 voicemails from clients who were shocked when Attorney Phil Franckel didn’t answer the phone:

Sue D.
Sue C.

We have many personal injury clients we have never met. Often, our clients develop a personal relationship with us by phone, and when it’s time to send a settlement check, they ask if they could come to our office to meet us. Of course, we welcome any time our clients want to meet us.

When it comes to litigation experience, negotiation experience, personal service, and the ability to speak with your personal injury lawyer 7 days/nights, not just for a free consultation, we are No. 1 of the “top 10 personal injury lawyers near me.”

How to Find an Honest Personal Injury Lawyer Near Me

Some people search for “how to find an honest personal injury lawyer” or “how to find a reputable personal injury lawyer,” which is important because your personal injury lawyer may receive hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars of your money.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a personal injury lawyer disbarred every month for taking money from a client escrow account, and many personal injury lawyers have gone to jail and prison for taking millions of dollars of money from clients.

Partner Attorney Philip L. Franckel, Esq. has always maintained a top credit rating with a FICO score ranging from 840 to 850 (850 is the highest score possible).

We don’t have money problems, and with the highest financial ethics, Phil Franckel has always maintained a high credit score since high school.

Does a personal injury lawyer near you honest? This shows Phil Franckel's FICO Score 850

I Don’t Need to Find an Accident Lawyer Near Me, What Do I Need?

You need to be able to speak with your accident lawyer, not a paralegal, whenever you have a question. Sometimes, a paralegal can answer your question, but many times, you really want to speak with your lawyer.

See our personal injury FAQs, and feel free to call us anytime.

Are Morgan and Morgan Personal Injury Lawyers Near Me in New York?

Since personal injury lawyers no longer need to be near you, many out-of-state law firms like Morgan and Morgan, a law firm from Florida, are advertising for personal injury accidents in the New York City area.

Morgan and Morgan recently opened local offices here, but 1-800-HURT-911® is originally from New York City and Long Island.

While out-of-state law firms like Morgan and Morgan can handle your New York accident case, do you really think you’ll ever get to speak to your lawyer? You’ll certainly never get to speak with John Morgan. The first time you call Morgan and Morgan, you’ll probably be on hold with their client advocacy department for a long time to speak with an intake person who’s not a personal injury lawyer. When someone there called me, and I called back, I was on hold for 6 minutes.

Morgan and Morgan say size matters, but 1-800-HURT-911® is a large personal injury law firm where you can always reach one of the Founding Partners by phone 7 days/nights, and we’re originally from New York.

Are Cellino & Barnes Personal Injury Lawyers Near Me in New York City?

Since personal injury lawyers no longer need to be near you, some out-of-town law firms like Cellino & Barnes from Buffalo advertise for personal injury accidents in New York City and Long Island. Cellino & Barnes is a personal injury law firm that started in Buffalo, NY, and has its main office there.

Cellino & Barnes opened local branch offices in New York City and Long Island, but 1-800-HURT-911® is originally from New York City and Long Island.

While Cellino & Barnes can handle your New York accident case, even though it was a large law firm in Rochester, do you really think you’ll ever get to speak to your lawyer?

Unfortunately, Cellino & Barnes no longer exists because Ross Cellino and Stephen Barnes were suing each other, and just after they agreed to part ways, Ross Cellino passed away in a tragic plane accident.

1-800-HURT-911® is originally from New York, and we’re a large injury law firm where you can always reach one of the Founding Partners by phone 7 days/nights.
