WE MADE THE LIST BUT WHICH LIST MATTERS?

Posted in Law ::: May 31, 2009 12:12 PM

Just recently, The Mattacola Law Firm made the Mohawk Valley's Business Journal List of "TOP RANKS: MOHAWK VALLEY LAW FIRMS", coming in the top ten.  It was nice to be in there.   I'm a big fan of the Business Journal  and they do an outstanding job reporting on the happenings in the business community.  But I will be honest, these lists make me nervous.  I think too much importance is placed on them.  I've watched my law school either celebrate or nearly jump off the roof every time they rise and fall in the rankings.  And it's understandable - every business is competitive and prospective students make decisions based on these lists as I suppose clients do based on the list we just made. 

Yet, here's what I think any prospective client should do and this goes for any business.  Poll those that have gone before you.  Ask around.  Ask to speak to former and current clients.  Yes, clients are confidential but if they consent, they can serve as a reference.  That's the list you should be concerned about.  What are your clients saying about you?  And that is a list I am pretty proud of.  Because I am quite sure that our clients will tell you that we work very hard for them, that we are extremely responsive and that we do everything in our power to serve their needs.  That's the ranking I'm obsessed with and last time I checked, which is everyday, we are doing very well in that department.  So, thank you Business Journal, for the props.  We very much appreciate it.  Yet, we will continue to focus on our list of clients and where we rank with them, as that is what is got us here and what is truly important.

    I am honor to be one of the clients that can say The Mattacola Firm is on the top of my list. The firm was very attentive to our needs and guided us not only with legal expertise, but with heart. It was important for my parents to work with an attorney that sincerely cared about their decisions and took time to learn about them in order to guide them to the right plan. My parents continue to speak very highly of their experience with the Mattacola firm, and I strongly recommend the firm to my family and friends.
