At Basch Keegan & Spada, we’ve been representing injured people in Ulster County since 1982. That’s more than 40 years of standing up for our neighbors, and we’re proud to call this community home. All of our partners live here in Ulster County and have deep, personal roots in the region.
With so many law firms advertising across the Hudson Valley, here are some key tips to help you choose the attorney that’s right for you.
Look for Local Experience
Ulster County has its own court system, medical networks, and traffic patterns - your attorney should know them all. The lawyers at Basch Keegan & Spada have decades of experience handling injury claims in towns like:
- Kingston – where busy intersections and pedestrian traffic can lead to serious crashes
- New Paltz – a vibrant college town with frequent biking and walking injuries
- Saugerties – a mix of rural roads and summer tourism, increasing seasonal accident risks
When you hire a personal injury lawyer in Ulster County who actually lives and works here, you benefit from legal know-how plus hometown insight.
Choose a Lawyer Who Handles Your Type of Case
Not all personal injury attorneys handle the same types of claims. At Basch Keegan & Spada, our team has successfully represented clients in a wide range of cases, including:
- Car accidents in Ulster County
- Slip and fall injuries
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Construction accidents
- Wrongful death and Medical Malpractice cases
Whatever caused your injury, make sure your lawyer has real-world experience - inside and outside the courtroom.
Ask About Communication and Availability
A good lawyer should be responsive and compassionate. You deserve to be kept informed and feel supported every step of the way. At our firm, communication is a top priority - clients always know where their case stands and who to call with questions.
Ask any lawyer you meet with:
- Will I speak directly with my attorney?
- How often will I get updates?
- How quickly do you return calls and emails?
Make Sure the Consultation is Free
Any reputable personal injury firm should offer a free consultation, and only get paid if you win your case. At Basch Keegan & Spada, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we recover compensation for you.
Check Reviews and Results
Before hiring an attorney, take a moment to read reviews from past clients. Look for stories of people who were treated with respect, got real results, and felt truly heard. With 43 years of service in Ulster County, Basch Keegan & Spada has built a reputation for winning tough cases and for being the law firm people turn to when it matters most.
Choose a Lawyer Ready to Go to Trial
Most cases settle, but not all. It’s essential to choose a lawyer who is willing and able to take your case to trial if needed. Insurance companies take your case more seriously when they know your attorney is prepared to fight for you in court.
Our team has a strong record in the courtroom, and we don’t back down.
