Cynthia Manchester | Binghamton Personal Injury Lawyer

I recently had the privilege of representing a woman in her mid 60\'s. She was injured while walking across a parking lot and fell, sustaining a severe neck injury. The client was very worried about maintaining her independence and being able to live at home. I was able to secure a substantial settlement, in excess of $1,000,000, which ensured that she would have funds available to care for her at home.

In our community, word of mouth recommendations from existing clients mean so much and after practicing for over 29 years, I have been fortunate that my clients regularly recommend me to their friends and family.

Knowledge and expertise in the field in which they are searching for an attorney, a willingness to actually listen to the client\'s concerns and patiently answer questions they may have, responsiveness in responding to client calls and messages and a level of comfort that they will enjoy working with the attorney they have chosen!

As a trial attorney whose job it is to present cases to juries, knowledge of the local area is critical as jurors are drawn from the surrounding area.

I can usually determine whether a case has merit, though this sometimes does require additional investigation.

In handling a personal injury case, it is important to be provided the name of the potential party responsible for the injuries sustained, though, depending on the nature of the case, that also may need to be investigated. Always helpful to any analysis are photos of the accident scene, photos of injuries or damage to property involved, and the names of any witnesses to the accident.

I am very responsive to my clients and return calls and messages as soon as I possibly can. Rarely will a day pass by without my returning a client\'s phone call.

Making things simpler for my clients - it makes me happy to see the relief I see when I tell them that I will handle issues arising with insurance or explaining complex issues in a way that make sense to them.
