The First Meeting
Most people don’t look forward to meeting an attorney, especially one they don’t know. Steve Boyd understands the first meeting can seem a little scary. Steve has surrounded himself with a team of excellent people who do their best to make you comfortable when we meet.
Your first meeting with Steve could take place in our Buffalo or Rochester office, your home, or a local coffee shop—whichever is most comfortable for you. You’ll start by getting to know each other. He’ll ask a lot of questions, and you should too. Hiring a personal injury lawyer is an important decision, and it has to be a good fit. We want you to feel comfortable that you’re making the right choice.
Our firm’s primary source of new personal injury cases is referrals from former clients who had a positive experience working with us. That’s because we keep the lines of communication open. We do our best to simplify the process and help you understand every step of your case. You’ll have Steve’s cell phone number from the first day so that you know we’re working hard for you. If he is unavailable, our staff can answer many of your questions.
In Buffalo, NY, personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means that if you have suffered a serious injury, you will not be charged legal fees unless your case is resolved successfully. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the amount recovered.
With a contingency fee, the attorney only gets paid if your case is successful. This arrangement exists because paying a personal injury attorney for the many hours they spend on most cases would quickly become unaffordable. Contingency fees allow injured individuals to pursue fair compensation without worrying about attorney fees.
The fee is typically one-third of the net recovery for most personal injury cases. However, in some instances, a sliding contingency fee or a different arrangement may be necessary under the law. We will discuss the fee arrangement with you at the beginning of your case and include it in our agreement.
