Eric Brian Richman, NYC Personal Injury Attorney

I once had a case where the previous attorney never even spoke to the client on the phone. I took over the case and was able to settle it within a few months.

I started at a corporate law firm. Some of my initial cases were referred by this practice.

Communication is key. Ask the lawyer for his / her private cell number at the first meeting. Getting the ability to directly contact your attorney is crucial.

"Local knowledge" is only somewhat important. Experience in litigating hundreds of cases is much more important.

The consultation only the first step in a long process. An initial phone conversation can determine if I can at least start taking the next steps.

All I need to know is the details of what happened to you (or a loved one).

I take a lot of pride in my work. I don't have a "volume practice." That is, each client will have direct communication with me or an attorney. Not a paralegal. Not an assistant. An attorney.

Helping victims of crime is always rewarding for me. I could never un-do the destruction a crime can cause a person or a family. But I can do my best to help families get some answers.

I like spending time with my family and my baby girl.

Of course. My wife and I are dedicated to several local charities.
