How Do You Choose the Right Free Consultation Lawyer in Brooklyn?
Every injury firm in Brooklyn offers a free consultation, so the offer itself is not a differentiator. The question is what the hour produces.
Brooklyn cases are filed in Supreme Court, Kings County, which carries one of the heaviest civil calendars in the state — meaning an attorney's willingness to push a case matters as much as courtroom skill. A serious consultation should already be identifying which deadline governs. In New York, personal injury is generally three years (CPLR 214), wrongful death two years, and medical malpractice two years and six months (CPLR 214-a). If the defendant is the City, NYCHA, the New York City Transit Authority or another public entity, a notice of claim within 90 days applies with suit in one year and 90 days (General Municipal Law §§ 50-e, 50-i; Public Authorities Law § 1212). In an auto case, the no-fault NF-2 application is generally due within 30 days.
Signals worth watching in a first meeting:
- You speak with an attorney, not only an intake worker
- They tell you the weaknesses, not just the strengths
- They ask about every possible defendant and every available policy
- They name the person who will handle the file
- They can hold the conversation in your language
Bring the police report, photographs, insurance details and medical records. General information only, not legal advice.
What Does a Free Consultation Lawyer Cost in Brooklyn?
Nothing for the consultation, and nothing upfront to retain. New York injury attorneys work on contingency — a percentage of the recovery, no fee without one. One-third of the net recovery is customary in New York personal injury matters, subject to the retainer and to court approval where an infant is involved. In medical malpractice, Judiciary Law § 474-a imposes a statutory descending scale instead, starting at 30% of the first $250,000.
What moves the total:
- Whether the case resolves pre-suit, in litigation, or at trial
- Case expenses — records, expert reports, reconstruction where needed, deposition transcripts, filing fees — and whether they come out before or after the fee is calculated
- Liens from no-fault, workers' compensation, health insurers, Medicare or Medicaid
- Whether the defense forces motion practice or an appeal
Get the retainer in writing and confirm how expenses are treated. Our consultation is free and the referral costs you nothing.
