Many have been known to do so right from the scene of an accident . “ Calls automatically are sent directly to me 24 hours a day , so the caller gets to talk to an experienced lawyer from the second they call , not a call center or a paralegal , ” Fine says . “ As long as I’m not fighting for my clients in a trial , flying , or sleeping so hard that I don’t hear the phone ring , I pick up the phone and help the clients myself . ” Anyone in the tristate area area who spends an extended amount of time in the car each day or enjoys listening to the radio while they work has almost certainly heard the “ Big Al Gets Big Results ” spots , which air on multiple stations daily . The spots are meant to amuse but also to inform . “ The ads are memorable and we change them once a week , ” Fine says . “ We don’t make light of the situations people are enduring or families are dealing with , but just try to Everything Is Going to Be FINE make them smile as they are going through field one of the worst moments of their lives . ” Win l A native of Bucks County , Fine had a hae by M AT T C O S E N T I N O typical suburban upbringing and was drawn Mic d to the law at a young age .
