I retained Attorney Shore for a divorce agreement modification. All I can say is WOW. Hands down the best Attorney I have ever hired in my entire life. She is tough, smart, and not afraid to tackle difficult and sensitive issues with a firm and caring hand. I have never seen someone stand up for my rights in court the way that Attorney Shore did. She worked with me out of state, spent long hours on my case, all while she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. I can not put into words what her representation has meant to me and my family. If you do not hire Attorney Shore, you are not hiring the best.

I woke up the day after court feeling such a relief and freedom, knowing I was finally heard in court and I feel like I'm finally capable of protecting my son the way I'm supposed to because of your help! Katrina, thank you so much for the multiple phone calls and emails and calming down my obsessive, projective mind. You always made me feel like I wasn't crazy and my feelings were valid and I knew anytime I spoke with you I'd feel better and you were always so on top of everything. Ms. James, thank you so much for all of the time and effort you spent doing what you do best. For sharing your confidence with me before court appearances when I was such a mess. For the amazing set of questions you asked me in court to let my whole story really be heard and for giving me a voice in court when I felt like I couldn't speak up for myself enough.

I hired Gillian for what I already expected to be a difficult and complicated divorce, and which ended up taking unforeseen twists and turns I could not have ever imagined. I can't say enough about her knowledge, insight, and professionalism. She is a master multi-tasker, and most critically, was available and immediately responsive when my case became a series of one true crisis situation after the next. Even when my crisis cut into her personal time, she was there for me. There was no hand wringing or floor pacing wondering when or if she would respond ... it was always almost immediately and if she was tied up, she let me know right away when she would be able respond. She is a no-nonsense lawyer, extremely efficient, and caring. All of her gut assumptions about what I should do turned out to be accurate. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but rather what you need to hear. She freed me from the need to feel as if I had to micromanage my case, eased my fears, and when my case extended far beyond a routine divorce situation, she connected me with other professionals who were likewise immediately responsive and highly skilled. I don't have enough good things to say about Gillian. No matter how complicated or bizarre your situation may be, she is capably able to handle it. If you are looking for the creme de la creme of family divorce attorneys, don't waste your time looking any further. Gillian is the best there is.

When I reached out to Mrs. Pierce Nichols, I was distraught, for I had done what a lot of women do. I had trusted a man to look out for me instead of looking out for myself. I saw no way out of the horrible situation I was in. Mrs. Pierce Nichols was very caring. Very encouraging and very sympathetic. She reassured me that everything would be okay. She was very professional. On my first visit I felt very welcomed and I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She explained everything in detail. She made sure, I understood what would happen step by step. There was never a time that I could not get in touch with her. Whether it was a small question or a huge situation, she was always there for me. Mrs. Pierce Nichols represented me in such a way that my ex-husband referred her to his friend that was getting a divorce after our divorce. I highly recommend her for the amazing service that she provided for me.

I recently found myself in the middle of a "gray" divorce. 70 years old, married for 13 years to a woman that turned on me. I decided to represent myself in court, defending my pension, Social Security, health care, non marital assets, bank accounts and such. It didn't take long for me to realize I needed a professional consultation as her attorney's proposal was outrageous and would ruin me financially for the rest of my life. Karen's name was highly recommended by a close friend. A quick email to her office and I scheduled a consultation. I'm a good judge of people and immediately knew she was the person I wanted representing me. No nonsense or small talk. Straight to the point. Professional and knows the law. I knew she had my back. Once the dust settled, I was able to keep 90% of what I worked my entire life for. To say I am happy with her service would be an understatement. Regarding payment, her billing was straightforward and well documented. The entire process cost me much less than I expected. In short, I would highly recommend consulting with Karen first. You won't regret it.

Attorney Gersten is a top divorce attorney in the area. She did an amazing job and what seemed to be impossible to me a year ago. I went through a very difficult divorce. Before hiring attorney Gersten I interviewed 4 other attorneys and I am glad I chose Karen. She is very efficient and has fair charges and accounting of hours practice. Karen is very knowledgeable and well respected in the court. She always fights to protect interests of her clients, while open to settlement without unnecessary trials if her clients are satisfied with outcome. If presented with challenge, Karen is open to face it without hesitation and do research of precedents to be used in the court. Karen is always confident and has genuine care for her clients. She always comes to the court prepared and ready to protect your interests. Karen is working hard to make sure she provides high quality service. I wish I could give Karen more than 5 starts.

I hired Attorney Gersten to represent me through a divorce from my now ex-husband, and it is the best financial decision I have ever made by a LANDSLIDE. Karen is the absolute pinnacle of professionalism, legal expertise, and client advocacy. Her legal counsel is worth every penny (and then some). After finding out that my husband was having an affair, I wanted the best representation I could find. I was blind-sided and had no idea what I should expect navigating a divorce. I met with a few other divorce-specializing lawyers locally before finding Attorney Gersten. The consultations I had with other lawyers all seemed to end up in the same place-- a cookie-cutter response, and dismissive approach to the dissolution of my 9-year marriage. Not Attorney Gersten. From the instant I met with her to discuss my situation, I knew I'd found the person to help me get through the toughest season of my life. Karen listened attentively to the details and circumstances that made my case unique, making sure my biggest concerns and needs would be met moving forward as she strategized her approach. She made me feel heard and understood, like a real partner throughout the process. She kept me grounded and provided me with previews on what documentation needed to be prepared (both by me, and her team), what I might expect while appearing in court, or what negotiations might come up on the road to settling my case. Further than that, she actually pointed out additional factors about my situation that I never would have thought to, explaining why they must be non-negotiable given my circumstances. Karen takes a no-nonsense approach, wasting no time on fluff. Every second she spent on my case was well documented and easily understood. Any interactions we had, she’d always try to get as much accomplished as we possibly could together to prepare for the next step. After watching Attorney Gersten command a room during court proceedings and other interactions, it is obvious that she is exceptionally well-respected by her peers and others within the judicial system. She is the perfect balance of kind and caring in her interactions, while remaining assertive in her communication and negotiations. She is ethical, confident, and exudes professionalism through every step. Anyone who has been through a divorce knows the rollercoaster of emotions that can be experienced. Having Attorney Gersten as a champion in my corner through this process gave me not only an outstanding result financially settling my divorce, but something MUCH more important: peace of mind. Every nerve-wrecking situation that came up, she was there to calm my nerves. If you have the opportunity to work with Attorney Gersten… RUN, don’t walk.

Truly a profound feeling because Sarah helped us navigate through a difficult chapter in our lives. Unfortunately, for most, divorce is not an easy journey especially if children are involved and your ex is difficult.

However, Mr. Crouse still spent over an hour with us, educating us about our options. He explained everything in a way that we could comprehend.

I had never used a lawyer before, and was going through divorce after 17 years in the relationship. Mark balanced patience and urgency with me during a deeply challenging time. He handled my divorce and custody terms with incredible pragmatism. My emotions were all over the place! When discussing specific options, he was awesome at keeping my mind focused on what I needed in the decree and how to manage going forward. There were a number of more complex terms, and he was intentional in explaining things to me as well as how the language works in these documents. Mark was always responsive, prompt and engaged when we communicated. He had a manner of both literal thinking and compassion, which is a rare mix. I still have his voice in my head sometimes when I lose track, and it has been a few years since my divorce. Hey Mark, thanks for keeping a cool head through my hot mess of a divorce!

He is sharp, thinks quickly on his feet, and most crucially, he's seen it all. It was his intelligence, dedication, and vast experience that made all the difference. Thanks to him, we successfully closed the case, ensuring the safety of the relationship between my daughter and me. I told Mark that he was like a guardian and a knight standing by my side, which truly encapsulated the depth of my gratitude.

I am a lawyer, though not a divorce lawyer. When my daughter was a the start of her divorce proceeding, she asked if I knew any lawyer in the field. I spoke with a former colleague, a family lawyer who was about to retire, and she whole-heartedly recommended " a great younger lawyer" she had worked with -- Hayden. My daughter interviewed and hired him. She was thrilled with him, commenting often on his expertise and, as important, his empathy. He took the time to listen and understand her concerns and problems. Though she was Hayden's client, several times during her proceeding she asked Hayden to talk with me so I could provide my views to her. He was great from this fellow lawyer's perspective. His explanations were clear, very helpful and concise. (There are few things I hate more than a rambling lawyer who runs up the cost meter). My daughter's proceeding ended very successfully a few weeks ago. I share her views that Hayden very effectively represented her interests and secured the best possible settlement. I will be forever grateful for his excellent representation of "my little girl."

Kirstyn and Catherine were great advocates when my Ex was infringing on my parental rights with visitation. So often, and particularly in WA State, fathers are at a disadvantage when trying to enforce parenting plans and court orders. Kirstyn was able to provide balanced advice telling me what is and is not possible based on our prior Court Orders, and we determined that my Ex was in fact in contempt. We then created a case and roadmap setting expectations of possible outcomes, and Catherine represented me in court. Even though the judge was blatently against us in court based on his opinion of our verbal argument (his own bias), the written contempt was ironclad and indisputable and as a result we won, creating better and healthier boundries with my Ex. I was even awarded some of the money from the judge based on the degree of contempt and Catherine's ability to outline the ramifications.

Gwynna helped me successfully mediate a divorce. I was given her name by my financial planner, as Gwynna has successfully helped high income people through a messy process. She engaged a forensic accountant, helping me trace a lot of assets as separate property. Well worth it! Really prompt communication on the status of the case. I wasn't always happy with the speed of the process but that's primarily because the other party hired a dork and things get worked in the order they are needed.

I found Gwynna through other reviews. I met with her for a complimentary personal meeting. I came prepared with questions and some paperwork. She was very up front with me about what would be realistic in my situation and how she could help. After our meeting I felt confident that she was the right person to represent me. Divorce is HARD no matter what the circumstances are (or are not). I had my ideas of how it would all pan out....but my way was not all the "right way". Gwynna was very much on my side, to be there to support me, guide me and calm me down when I felt like I was going to lose my mind! She was up front and very honest. Supported me, but also helped me understand how the court system (and judges see things) so that we could make this the best outcome for me. I do have 2 young adult girls, so there was no decisions to be made with child support. But we did figure out fair amounts to be paid towards college. It was a LOT of work (on my side and hers). I trusted her, she VERY MUCH knows the system and how things work. She was able to handle my husbands narcissist personality and was great at adapting to the 2 lawyers my husband had through out the process. I can definitely say that she took care of me throught this 10 month process, explaining things to me, working with me through the bad and good, got me through mediation (instead of court) with a good outcome, and really showed empathy and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce!

Jenna worked diligently during my whole process. She listens and guides the client through the process. She explains the process and is honest as to the outcome. She is well connected as to individuals who will end up working with your family after the legal process is completed. I was very pleased with the final outcome. I would recommend her for assisting you through what I am sure is a difficult time. Just as it was for myself.

He resolved a difficult case, in one court session, with minimal challenges, and knew exactly what needed to be done. Also was done at a cost that made counsel affordable when I otherwise would not have been able to.

Mr. Kassman is a great attorney backed by an incredible staff who work really hard. We had a horrible tenant that had to be evicted in Suffolk County and Mr. Kassman laid out a plan and executed on it flawlessly. He took dozens of phone calls, and so did his staff from us and reassured us throughout the entire process. We are really grateful. Looking forward to using him for other needs that we have because he’s full service. We got the eviction and we got our lives back and we owe it all to Mr. Kassman and has a great team. Shout out Mara - she is incredible. Highly recommend using them don’t even hesitate. This is a great choice for an attorney who is very well seasoned on long island law, courts, judges and the complex process of ny law.

Where to begin...Alison was recommended through a friend. When I first met Alison during the consultation phase I was immediately put at ease by her candor and more importantly by her sincerity and I basically hired her the next day. Alison does her job from the heart. I credit Alison with actually helping me through my divorce, not just by being my attorney but by helping to actually guide me and protect me through one of the most difficult and vulnerable times someone can go through. A divorce is such a personal thing to go through you and really need someone who has your back. And not someone who is a just "yes" person but someone who really cares in what she is doing. Someone who can help guide you through one of the toughest times in your life. Someone who can see and knows the big picture from experience. This is just a glimpse into working with Alison. I would highly recommend working with Alison.

Steve and Jo An amazing team. They not only fought for me, but they are the smartest people in the room and they do all of their homework and then some, and represent me with dignity they fought for me. Steve was referred to me as they don’t advertise and they don’t need to if you are in the financial of your life or the fight of your life. You want them in your hole and you will be represented with strength and class.. Divorce after 18 1/2 years was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through other than my father being ill, and they were beacon of light and navigated me through the worst time of my life.

Divorce, synonymous with stress, sadness, anxiety, etc. and it is true that going though that path is difficult to endure, I personally have just gone through that path with the help of two tremendous professionals, attorney Steve L. August and paralegal Jo. Without the help of Steven and Jo, it would have been impossible for me to go down that path of divorce. I will never be tired of thanking these two wonderful people for everything they did for me, and therefore I highly recommend them to people who unfortunately find themselves in a divorce situation.

Anyone facing divorce knows the financial and emotional upheaval that is about to descend on your life. Finding a competent lawyer to guide you through the divorce process can be a daunting task and I found such a lawyer: Sarah Brandon from North Country Law Office. Sarah's calm, empathetic demeanor was a great support during the entire divorce proceedings. She always consistently steered me in the right direction to ensure the best possible outcome. Sarah’s advice on two separate occasions prevented me from taking actions that would have further complicated resolving an already emotionally-charged divorce. Sarah is a firm, tough negotiator and with her many years of practicing family law, she has acquired exceptional expertise in divorce law. Her superior understanding of the law resulted in a settlement that will enable me to live a financially-secure post-divorce life. What was impressive is she held down legal fees by avoiding expensive litigation. Regarding Sarah's fees, her retainer and other expenses were reasonable. She called and emailed only when it was necessary. Sarah didn't play the all-to-common legal game of driving up legal expenses with unnecessary legal maneuvers. She is honest, ethical and I would highly recommend Sarah to handle any divorce, from the simple to the complex. Sarah is the owner of the law firm. Her office staff of Liz, Tasha and Katie understand how difficult divorce can be and they more than once put me at ease with their lighthearted sense of humor and kindness. The professional and personable services this firm provided made the rocky road of divorce easier. Finally, I had the utmost confidence in being represented by a law firm owned and staffed entirely with women. My confidence was not misplaced as my ability to live a financially-secure life is due entirely to this firm. Thank you, Sarah, Katie, Tasha and Liz for your hard work and dedication.

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.

    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
