How Many
Lawyers Does It Take To...

At Hoey & Farina, it takes 11, that is, to work as a team to
best serve railroaders and their families.
Everyone has heard a good attorney joke or two, and everyone has heard
the phrase "ambulance chaser". With negative preconceived
notions, it's no wonder that when it becomes necessary to hire an
attorney, it's often a stressful decision. Add to that the probability
that you don't personally know the attorney only makes the decision that
much more difficult.
Understanding this, and in order to help make such a decision easier
for you, your union has "designated" attorneys who are
knowledgeable of the Federal Employers' Liability Act and have a proven
track record in successfully both advising and representing railroad
workers and their families. Designated legal counsel are people your union
knows and trusts. They are people they believe you should know and trust.
Our firm has the honor of being designated by seven rail unions. As
designated legal counsel, we've gotten to know and become friends with a
great number of railroaders and their families. We regularly attend union
events and speak at union meetings informing railroaders of their rights
and how to protect themselves. More importantly, though, we listen to what
railroaders have to say and what their needs are. In response to some of
those things, we offer free seminars (the Advocacy Skills Seminar and the
Family Members Seminar) aimed to educate and inform railroaders and / or
their families regarding matters that directly affect them. We also
publish this free weekly email newsletter to bring to railroaders the most
current and important information.
Being designated by the unions allows us to know that we've earned
railroaders' trust and respect. Letters and survey responses like the
following ones from our clients, let us know we've earned their trust and
respect, as well:
