I have been researching legal representation for car accident cases in New York and would like some advice from people who have experience with this process. There are so many law firms to choose from that it is difficult to know which ones provide clear communication and genuinely understand the needs of accident victims.
I came across Garber Legal while looking into possible options. Has anyone here worked with this firm after a car accident? I would like to know how the initial consultation went and whether the attorneys took time to explain the legal process, potential challenges, and available options.
One question I have is how to evaluate a New York auto accident attorney when several firms appear to offer similar services. Is it more important to look at experience with similar cases, client communication, or the way the lawyer handles negotiations with insurance companies?
I am also curious about legal fees. Do attorneys usually explain their payment arrangements during the first consultation, and what questions should someone ask before signing a representation agreement?
For those who have already handled an accident claim, how much paperwork did you need to provide at the beginning? I imagine police reports, medical records, photographs, and insurance information could all be relevant, but I would like to understand what is typically required.
Would you consider Garber Legal a reasonable firm to contact for an initial discussion? I am trying to compare my options carefully rather than choosing based on advertising alone. If you have consulted a New York auto accident attorney, what helped you determine whether the lawyer was a good fit? I would also like to hear whether Garber Legal explained case progress and settlement decisions clearly throughout the process.
