McCoy & McCoy Injury Attorneys Always Put the Clients First

At McCoy & McCoy, we handle every case with the motto, “It’s all about the client!” That means listening to your concerns, explaining your options, and keeping your needs at the center of your case. 

The wrongfully injured victims who come to our firm for help are why we do what we do. Our Hartford, Connecticut personal injury law firm focuses solely on personal injury law. We understand how devastating an experience it can be to suffer a life-altering injury at the hands of a careless medical professional, negligent inaction of a property owner, or a distracted driver, and we stop at nothing to recover the compensation that our clients deserve. 

Whether clients ask us to negotiate a fair settlement with the other party’s insurance company or represent them in court, we stand by our clients every step of the way. By keeping our clients informed throughout the process and explaining what to expect, we let them stay as involved as they like in their case.

Our Philosophy

Personal Attention When It Matters Most. Putting the client’s needs and expectations first is the top priority of our legal team. This philosophy differs from that of most other law firms, as we do not represent insurance companies, corporations or government agencies—and we never will. Similarly, we do not take on every single case that comes our way. If a victim does not need the help of an attorney, we will tell them and further advise them on the steps that they can take on their own.

Clear Communication and Honest Guidance.

We don’t take on every case that comes our way. If a victim doesn’t need an attorney, we will tell them and advise them on the steps they can take on their own, while still helping them as best we can. When a client needs the help of a legal professional, however, we will be there to assist them in any way that we can. This includes managing the important matters of hospital bills, rental car companies, health insurance companies, and/or state disability insurance—all before we even set foot in a courtroom.

Limited Caseload. Unlike high-volume firms that handle hundreds of cases at a time, we intentionally take on a limited caseload so that we can give each client the focused attention their case deserves. This allows us to devote more time, attention, and resources to every client we represent. 

Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney

The National Board of Trial Advocacy has awarded attorney Frank McCoy the designation of specialist in civil trial advocacy. Becoming certified takes effort because it is granted only to attorneys who have demonstrated a history of honesty and ethics, as attested to by judges on the Superior Court and other practicing attorneys. Additionally, they must be highly experienced in courtroom proceedings and knowledgeable in personal injury, medical malpractice, products liability, and/or evidence law. Fewer than 0.5 percent of Connecticut’s registered attorneys have received this honor; it is an accomplishment to be proud of. As a result, you can be confident your personal injury case is in competent hands when you enlist McCoy & McCoy’s help. Learn more about board certification.

Why Experience Matters

When faced with unmanageable medical bills, the inability to return to work, and the emotional pain and suffering that inevitably follow a serious injury, you will need the help of a firm that is not only passionate about the work that they do, but one that is highly experienced as well. With over 50+ years of combined legal experience, the dedicated attorneys at McCoy & McCoy possess these qualities and more. They understand the scope of a personal injury lawsuit and handle each step efficiently and on time—from the initial investigation and insurance processing to the verdict at trial. Almost 90% of the time, the cases that we represent will be settled before they ever make it inside a courtroom, but the ones that need to be fought until the end will be handled with the continued level of aggression that they deserve.
