Connelly Law Office

Five questions to ask when seeking a personal injury attorney:

1. Have they ever obtained a jury verdict over $1,000,000.00 in any personal injury case trial in Erie County?  Over $2,000,000?
2. Have they, in the last five years, ever been listed among the Top 50 Jury Awards in Pennsylvania?
3. Have they ever had the highest jury verdict in Erie County for two or more years?
4. Have they satisfactorily settled, or won by verdict, 98% of the personal injury complaints they have filed during the past ten years?
5. After my personal injury case is over, will I still be able to consult with you on matters of family law, credit, estates, criminal law or other areas of law besides personal injury?  In other words, will the attorney be there for you after your case is won or settled?

If the attorney that you are consulting cannot say "yes" to all five of those questions, you might want to call our office and speak to Attorney Jeff Connelly of the Connelly Law Office.  He can answer yes to all five, and we believe that he is the only attorney in Erie County who can.

Jeff Connelly is a graduate of Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where he received a degree in English.  After teaching in the Erie School district, he attended law school at Nova Southeastern University where he graduated with honors and received the American Jurisprudence Award.  Subsequently, he was one of the only two individuals selected to attend the Miami School of Law's International Ocean Law Program.

There is one great principle that Jeff and the Connelly Law Office follows: Take everything personally.  With our law firm you are not just a client, you are a friend.  We care about you as a person, not as a means to make money.  But make no mistake about it, we are very successful in obtaining, for our clients, the optimal compensation they deserve for any injury they may have suffered. 

And, most importantly, you will always consult with Jeff Connelly personally, not an associate.

The Connelly Law Office does not only represent individuals whom are injured, we also represent individuals in the following areas of law:

• Criminal law
• Family law
• Discrimination law
• Employment law
• Wills and estates
• Workers compensation
• District judge hearings
• DUI
• Products liability

You see, we will still be there after a personal injury or worker's compensation case is settled.  We want to be the people you come to for any legal question or concern. 

Jeff Connelly has achieved the highest jury awards in Erie County for the years of 2005 and 2008.  Those years happen to be the only verdicts Jeff has had to take to trial.  The majority of his cases are settled prior to trial.

As a matter of fact, Jeff has, in 2008, achieved the second highest personal injury award in Erie County history.  It was also listed as one of the 50 highest jury awards throughout Pennsylvania for 2008.  He has been invited to join the Million Dollar Advocates Club which is reserved exclusively for attorneys who have produced a jury verdict of $1,000,000.00 or more.  Only 2.5% of attorneys in America are members. 

Jeff has successfully settled or obtained a positive verdict against some of America's largest corporations, including:

• Ford Motor Corporation
• J.C. Penney
• Millcreek Mall/Cafaro Corp.
• Walmart
• Home Depot
• Oasis Corporation
• and many other large, well known companies.
