Accreditations

Our attorneys are highly-accredited. We are an AV® Preeminent™ Law Firm with Martindale-Hubbell®. Also, William Lynn, Thomas F. Shannon and Patricia Lynn-Ford are members of the American College of Trial Lawyers. All the attorneys are members of Upstate Super Lawyers. Finally, we are highly ranked by US News & World Report and are also members of the Syracuse Area ABOTA.

We have made a significant impact in personal injury law by taking several cases trial and obtaining large jury verdicts. This has allowed us to negotiate good settlements for our clients because the insurance companies know that we are willing and able to take cases to trial.

Our personal injury practice has been successful because we build on our proven experience and results. Most of our clients are referred from other lawyers and law firms.

Clients should look for a lawyer with a great reputation and with verifiable trial experience. We keep paper records available at our office of recent trials and settlements.

Having a lawyer who has tried a case in your hometown is a huge advantage. We have tried cases all over Upstate New York and know how to successfully navigate the court system.

We can discuss the basics of your potential claim and what information, if any, we need to further evaluate your case.

We like to know 1) how you were injured? When you were injured? And the medical diagnosis of your injury?

We separate ourselves from other lawyers because our law firm is uniquely equipped to successfully handle all aspects of a personal injury case. Claim assessment, pursuing a lawsuit, discovery, motions, trial and appeals. Our attorneys handle all aspects of a case and are well-respected for their work.

The greatest reward is helping a person put their life back together after a life altering accident.

We are interested in and support many activities outside the practice of law.

We are involved in numerous community matters and place an emphasis on our support of fire fighters and fire departments.
