Law firm size significantly impacts the resources available for your case and the level of personal attention you’ll receive. Large firms typically have extensive resources including in-house investigators, medical experts, and support staff who can thoroughly develop your case. They often have the financial capacity to front expensive litigation costs like expert witness fees and advanced case preparation technology. However, at large firms, your case might be handled primarily by junior associates or paralegals rather than the senior partner you initially met. Smaller firms and solo practitioners usually provide more personalized attention, with the lead attorney directly involved in all aspects of your case. They often have lower overhead costs, which might translate to more flexible fee arrangements. Mid-sized firms can offer an ideal balance, providing sufficient resources while maintaining personal attention to each case. Consider whether the firm has adequate staff to handle your case efficiently without being so large that you become just another file number. Ask who will actually work on your case day-to-day and how often you’ll interact with the lead attorney. Some large firms have dedicated personal injury departments that combine resources with specialized focus. The key is finding a firm whose size aligns with your case complexity and your preferences for personal attention versus institutional resources.
