A: You are writing from Fla., and therefore being seen by Fla. attorney looking out for Fla. cases. However, since the accident happened in New York, you need a New York firm to handle it. Is that where Simon & Simon is? If not located there, the firm you signed up with would have had to co-counsel with a NY firm (unless it's a Fla. attorney who is a member of the NY Bar, and who travels to NY for court cases - which would be rare). You must search for Buffalo-area attorneys on-line or contact the New York Bar Association for a referral.
