My name is Anthony Ferrante, and I’m a New York personal injury lawyer. I’ve created this post as a resource for people searching for a personal injury lawyer in New York. Without a personal referral, narrowing down search results can feel daunting. If you’re searching for a personal injury lawyer in New York, here are some recommended attorneys to contact.
Sifting through the search results for the best personal injury lawyers in New York City can feel overwhelming. Many of the sites you see ranking lawyers are pay-to-play rankings. That means the attorneys pay to get on these lists, rendering the information useless.
Ultimately, personal referrals are usually considered the best way to find an attorney. However, not everyone has the connection or resources to find a referral to a qualified attorney. That’s why I’ve put together a list of attorneys capable of helping you following your personal injury.
