Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Hiring an NYC Personal Injury Attorney

There are few things worse than sustaining a serious injury due to another party’s negligence, whether on the road, walking down the street, or shopping in a store. That being said, if you have been injured, you are most likely now seeking financial compensation. Of course, our New York City personal injury attorney is here to help, however, there are certain questions you should ask yourself before hiring an attorney to ensure that the one you pick is best-suited to represent your interests. Those questions are as follows:

Does the attorney exclusively practice personal injury law?

If you require the services of a plumber, you wouldn’t hire a mechanic. While this may seem obvious, you should also apply this truth to attorneys. Simply put, you shouldn’t hire an attorney who primarily practices family law, estate law, or otherwise to handle your personal injury claim. Our firm exclusively handles personal injury and medical malpractice claims. We are adept at helping the wrongly injured, and it is critical that you retain the services of an attorney who can answer all of your basic questions about your claim, give you a good idea about where you stand, and help you through every step of the legal process ahead. Attorney Richard M. Kenny is here to help.

Do you feel comfortable with the attorney?

While having knowledge of the law is, of course, the most important thing that you would look for in an attorney, you should also consider whether your attorney makes you feel comfortable. You should feel more comfortable with your situation after your initial consultation than before it. Our firm is here to help you, and from the moment you step into our office, you will have peace of mind knowing that your attorney truly cares about your well-being. Our firm will answer each of your questions, consistently update you regarding your case, and fight for your best interests at every turn.

How is the attorney rated on Google?

Before dining out at a restaurant, there is a very good chance that you will first check that restaurant’s reviews on Google or Yelp. This same philosophy should apply to attorneys. Do not hire an attorney to represent your personal injury claim before first checking to see if his or her reviews are favorable. The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny maintains a 5-star rating with over 170 reviews on Google. Few firms in New York State can match this, and it is a testament to our dedication and commitment to our clients. If you have been wrongly injured, we are here to help.
