Many folks believe that Morgan and Morgan is the best firm to represent them in their case based upon their sheer overwhelming visibility via billboards, online ads and TV ads.  The assumption is now THIS must be the "be-all and end-all" of Philadelphia law firms.  How can you evaluate whether a law firm is as great as they say they are?  Well, you can count on the fact that the reviews on their OWN website are not going to be negative.  Why do I say that?  Morgan and Morgan chooses which reviews they want to post on their own website as do all other law firms.  They are allowed to do that even if it is misleading.  If you truly want to read objective reviews you need to go to an outside source such as YELP.  YELP is not deleting negative reviews and the reviews they post reflect a more accurate view of how the firm is perceived by clients and potential clients who have dealt with them.  

My impression is that if you have a monster of an injury case with catastrophic injuries and a defendant who is clearly at fault, they might get you millions.  However, most cases are not monster cases.  Most are more modest in terms of the severity of injury.  In many cases if not most, liability is not crystal clear or the plaintiff may have been comparatively negligent in some way.  If your case falls into that category, Morgan and Morgan will likely assess it and toss it or refer it out to get a referral fee if and when the referring counsel wins or settles.   Picture Morgan and Morgan as a great white shark, trolling for big prey and ignoring the smaller and even medium sized fish.  This may help you to decide you are better off chosing a true local lawyer with years of experience and who will stick by you and your case.
