Most people would agree that the best way to find a lawyer is to get a personal referral from someone they know and trust. If that person has first-hand experience working with the attorney, all the better. But in reality, not everyone who needs to hire a car accident lawyer knows someone who can make such a referral.

My name is Anthony Ferrante – I am a New York car accident attorney. I want this post to be a resource for folks who need to hire an accident attorney but don’t know anyone personally who can make a referral. Toward that end, below you will find a list of 6 auto accident lawyers (yours truly excluded) who I personally endorse. If you’ve been injured in a car accident you will be in extremely capable hands with any of the attorneys listed below.
