Many people believe that hiring a large firm guarantees a bigger settlement. But multiple studies and real-world results suggest otherwise. In fact, smaller firms often match or outperform large ones — with more attention, better communication, and equal or better financial results.

• Smaller Firms Often Achieve Comparable or Better Settlement Outcomes: A major study of nearly 2,500 securities class actions (2005–2018) found that top-tier law firms didn’t consistently deliver better results than smaller firms. Except in a narrow range of mid-cap cases, outcomes were often equal or better when handled by smaller teams. (Source: Reuters)
• Personalized Attention Leads to Better Client Results: Large firms handle volume — often pushing your case to junior staff. Smaller firms usually offer direct access to experienced attorneys who personally manage your case from day one, leading to smarter decisions and stronger outcomes. (Source: FHT Lawyers)
• Smaller Firms Are More Efficient and Profitable: According to Clio’s 2024 Legal Trends Report, solo and small firm lawyers have increased billing and collection rates by over 75–100% since 2016 — a sign of greater efficiency and case-level focus. These gains reflect a system built to serve clients, not ad campaigns. (Source: Clio)

Bottom line: Size doesn't equal service — and bigger doesn’t mean better. The best results come from lawyers who fight hard and treat your case like it matters. That’s why so many Bronx clients trust us — not an 800-number.
