At Connors & Ferris, we focus exclusively on representing injured workers in the greater Rochester and Buffalo areas and throughout the rest of Western New York. We have assisted THOUSANDS of injured workers in achieving successful outcomes in their New York workers' compensation claims, SSD/SSI disability claims and personal injury, negligence and MVA cases.
We believe that effective representation comes about only with a fundamentally personal relationship between an attorney and a client. That means that when you call our office with a comp claim or a social security disability claim you will talk to an attorney. Our commitment to forming that critical "personal" relationship doesn't stop there. If it's determined that we can help, then you will personally meet with a Connors & Ferris attorney to review your papers, educate you on your rights and obligations, discuss strategy, and answer all your questions. At that point, you will be confident in our ability to assist you. If you retain us, we PLEDGE to YOU:
- We will personally meet with you. Prior to retaining Connors & Ferris, LLP to represent you in your SSD or compensation claim, we will invite you to meet with us in our office to review your claim, to get to know you and to allow you to get to know us.
- One Attorney. Your case is important to us. Unlike a lot of other firms, we believe a thorough knowledge of a workers' comp. claim or a social security disability claim can only be achieved by continuity of representation. That means you'll talk to the same attorney every time you call our office. That also means you'll see that attorney at all hearings you may have to attend in the future.* Meet our dedicated team of attorneys.
- We will return your calls. We hear it all the time from claimants who have other attorneys; "my attorney never returns my calls," or "I never get to talk to an attorney when I call my attorney's office." At Connors & Ferris, after you retain us, your attorney will follow-up on all your calls. Although we have a very experienced paralegal staff trained in all facets of New York State workers' compensation claims handling and Federal Social Security Disability claims handling, when necessary, your attorney will be communicating with you directly throughout our representation.
- Thorough advocacy. Every attorney at Connors & Ferris will zealously advocate for you before the Courts of New York, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board and before the Social Security Administration in connection with any compensation claim or SSD/SSI claim we represent you in. Our attorneys will be thoroughly prepared for every comp or disability hearing and you will know what our objective for each hearing is before you walk in the door of the comp board or social security hearing room.

*While it is our goal to provide you with one attorney throughout your case, there are instances where other attorneys from our office MAY speak with you or appear on your behalf at a hearing due to illness, vacation or change in employment status of your assigned attorney. You will be apprised of any changes beforehand.
