I have an immense respect for Jen and her practice. Jen and Cadence helped me through a very difficult jurisdictional case. She is an extremely competent, knowledgeable, respectable and honest litigator and I appreciate her ability to finally bring my case to an end. I highly recommend her and her team!

After 3 attorneys. Many months of torture and expense, Jennifer was the ONLY Attorney that could get the job done! Jennifer is compassionate! She immediately made me feel protected, and explained every step we took together. She is aggressive and tough as nails when it is warranted. Divorce and post divorce issues are hard enough. When you truly need a Bad ass Attorney look no further!!

I am so grateful to have had the privilege of working with Jen. I am honored to call her my mentor and my friend. Her authentic, direct and honest approach is so refreshing and effective (and really quite enjoyable!). Jen's guidance and perspective was so accurate and critical to my growth and progress throughout this process. I interviewed several lawyers and was not fully confident and comfortable with any of them...and then I met Jen... I finally had someone smart enough and honest enough to be my guide. Someone who gave me incredibly useful advice as a lawyer, counselor, mentor and friend. Jen always got back to me immediately and her communication was always to the point, efficient and effective. Her knowledgeable support team always took care of me and made me feel comfortable and important. I know for sure that I could not have done this with any other lawyer (or therapist)...she enabled me to feel proud of how we did this divorce with dignity, compassion and fairness. I am now one of Jens' many loyal and adoring fans. She is absolutely the best at what she does. Not to mention the most reasonable!

I cannot thank enough for their exceptional representation in my custody case. My daughter's father was seeking more time and was reluctant to reach an agreement. The attorneys guided me through every step of the process, from initial consultations to courtroom appearances and follow-ups. Their dedication and expertise were evident throughout, and I felt supported and confident in their abilities. Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a favorable outcome. I highly recommend to anyone in need of legal representation. They are truly great at what they do.

After a 25 year marriage, I didn’t know where to begin to find legal representation with the knowledge, professionalism, and support to guide me through the tribulations of divorce. Ms Dilima listened, explained my options, helped me understand what I was entitled to, and won the custody and alimony arrangement that was in the best interests of my children and me. Fait & Dilima literally wrote the book on divorce in Maryland and when the opposing attorneys cited outdated laws and attempted unprofessional tactics, Ms Dilima simply corrected and clarified them with class in a calming manner, making it all look like child’s play. I tried two attorneys before finding Ms Dilima and what I thought was “the cheaper attorney’s fee”, was recovered four times over with Fait and Dilima. These women are simply the best and I am forever grateful for their services!

It’s easy finding a divorce lawyer. They are all over the internet. But finding a good divorce lawyer? Not so easy. Once divorce becomes the logical solution, finding the proper family attorney is undoubtedly one of the most important decisions to be made. A good one becomes more than a lawyer. A good family attorney can, and in many cases will, become more than your advocate. They are the foundational expert in legal matters—family and financial—that will lay the groundwork for the post-divorce landscape. They can become your defender, confidant and, at times, even a part time amateur therapist. Given all of that responsibility, finding a skilled and conscientious divorce lawyer that a client can trust is of paramount importance. Without reservation I can say that Leah Griffin is an outstanding family attorney that provides the assurance and confidence that is required. She ticks all the boxes listed for proficiency and professionalism. I hired Leah to represent me in my divorce in 2018. My divorce was an extraordinarily difficult and complex process with many personal and financial angles to measure, manage and negotiate. The set of circumstances involved children, property and a very large estate with multiple trusts and investments to consider and maneuver through and around. Once Leah was presented with all of the details of this highly complex situation, she was able to synthesize the information and, ultimately, present to me a set of potential options with their likely outcomes. She made sure that I understood what the implications were for each decision that I had to make regarding my children as well as my financial future with its inherent responsibilities. Her extensive experience in situations similar to mine provided her with the proper context to assist me in finding a solution that would set the roadmap for my post-divorce life and that of my children. One of her attributes that I found most comprehensive was her ability to size up the desires and demands of the other side. It is understood that each side in a divorce is looking to maximize their position financially and personally—especially when children are involved. In my case, Leah listened carefully to the other side to find the common ground. Her preparation for negotiations was superb. She sized up the motives and inclinations of my ex-wife and her counsel and adapted and used that to protect and support not only my interests, but that of my children as well. Make no mistake. Leah was firm and unforgiving in negotiations. She was not going to put me at a disadvantage. I imagine every divorce has its own peculiarities and landmines to avoid. It is an intensely personal experience that requires sensitivity as well as top level awareness skills on behalf of the professionals. Leah Griffin understands that well. I cannot give her a higher recommendation.

When we first met Mr. Eric Luckman we felt like family. Mr. Eric Luckman deserves more than 5 stars because he never gave up on our case. We had a very rare and unfortunate case with our insurance company during a car accident. Mr Luckman was the only lawyer that was willing to take our case pro bono (when we get paid he gets paid). The case has was dragging on for 2 years by the insurance company but he NEVER gave up. Mr. Luckman stood by us and represented us to the last. We were always inform by him and his staff (Arlene and others), they are such caring people. It is amazing to meet a lawyer that actually care about you and not just the money, because "The Law Office of Eric H. Luckman" really cares. I am so honored to have had a lawyer like Mr. Eric Luckman representing us. Mr. Eric H. Luckman you are a God send and may God continues to bless and keep you and your family always.

I do not know how I would have gotten through my divorce if I had not had Adrienne as my legal counsel. From our very first interaction she was so honest which I appreciated and found refreshing. Adrienne not only knows the law, she practices always keeping the law in the forefront of any conversation or interaction, which was nice for me because it made things simple regarding what could be negotiated and what was simply the law. She worked hard with opposing counsel to ensure the process continued to move forward as she recognized that I could not move forward in life until my divorce was finalized. Adrienne is extremely organized and has an uncanny attention to detail. I trust her implicitly and although I do not plan on getting married or divorced again, if I did find myself in that situation, I would not want any other counsel except Adrienne. Adrienne is a fierce advocate for her clients and she really took the time to get to know me as a person, my sense of humor and values as well as my triggers (I hate that word) or issues where I could easily become emotional. Adrienne is very honest and will give it to you straight so you always know where you stand. She kept me on track, moving forward and managed my emotions with grace and compassion. She gave me reassurance when needed, always keeping the law in the forefront of any decision or negotiation. There were times I thought my head was going to explode, and she was exceptional at bringing me back to the task at hand in order to reach the finish line with fair and equitable resolution for all involved. Divorce is not for me and like many others I didn’t get married to get divorced, but Adrienne made it not only bearable but at times enjoyable. I should clarify, the divorce itself was not pleasant but working with her was an absolutely enjoyable experience and made one of the worst times in my life a little more bearable. We made it through as a team, with her leading the way from start to finish, and I will forever be grateful for her service and the due diligence she gave not only to my case but to me as a person.

After a long and unhappy marriage, my former spouse and I decided to hire Juliet to mediate our legal separation. We had initially hired our own legal representatives and that was proving to me a true nightmare and promised a protracted, painful and expensive pathway. We took a pause and decided to try a mediator and were so fortunate to find Juliet and her paralegal, Jentri. As one can imagine, splitting from a spouse of nearly 4 decades was a complex, conflict-riddled, contentious experience. Juliet somehow managed to maintain her incredibly professional, calm and neutral stance while we hammered out our settlement contract. Her billing was beyond fair and well accounted for. Her work, including the computations needed, was carefully prepared and meticulously documented. Given the behaviors she had to tolerate and the "tattling" she was subjected to, she remained supportive of both parties and respectful toward us. When it was over and we met to sign paperwork, she was very empathetic and left me with a box of tissues and time to compose myself. I know we were difficult to deal with and she must have had to use all of her skills to coach us to the conclusion. A year later, my former spouse asked for a divorce and wanted to use her to complete that last step. Again, she and Jentri were professional, brief and did not get involved in the drama surrounding the divorce. Since her work had been so thorough during the separation, the divorce was quick and simple and they took care of everything. I was so grateful! I would highly recommend Juliet to anyone that thinks they can navigate a marital split with some semblance of civility, the ability to "be in the same room" negotiating the terms and avoid a costly and destructive battle.

I highly recommend Traci Capistrant and Capistrant Law if you need representation for a high conflict divorce case. I am so very grateful to Traci and her whole team for the enormous amount of excellent work, communication, patience and care that they put into my case. Traci has represented me for the past 6 years, and done an exceptional job. My case has been extremely long, complicated, messy, frustrating and difficult. Through it all, I have been so impressed with Traci's ability to listen well, remain focused and take action. She is kind and caring, gives good advice and is an excellent attorney. This has been the most difficult period in my life, and without Traci and Capistrant Law, I don't know where I would be now. There were times I didn't think I could go on, and Traci and her team were a constant support for me through everything. She is a woman with high character and an attorney that I call friend:) I don't think I would be standing today if it weren't for her.

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

I've been a small business owner in New York City for around the past 5 years, and I've been working with Adam (and his associate, though I'll review him separately) since virtually the very beginning. Adam has seen my company grow from a tiny fledgling entity to where we are today, and has been an integral part of our surmounting the myriad challenging, unlucky, 'unfair', or otherwise demanding legal situations and circumstances that come with starting and running a business -- both par-for-the-course and very unexpected. It's tough to condense everything I could possibly highlight here, but to consolidate to concise summation, simply read the title of this review. One of the things I appreciate most about Adam is his comprehensive analysis and thorough explanations on any given set of circumstances, while at the same time remaining efficient and precise in all the right ways. His methods in outlining different legal approaches or strategies and potential ramifications of each is incredibly informative and helpful in deciding how best to tackle certain situations based on practicality. I also very much appreciate that while he is worth every dollar he invoices, he doesn't hesitate to express anytime there may be avenues to spend *less* on legal in a particular set of circumstances (and the various possibilities and outcomes). He's honest and is a person of integrity. All in all, I couldn't more heartily recommend Adam as a great attorney for anyone in need of highly effective counsel in any fashion.

His attention to detail, thoroughness, and focus in dealing with communications, contracts, and investigation of any and all related legislation / legal precedents is incredible. Beyond legal knowledge and experience, he is exactly the sort of person you want to help navigate legal procedures. Michael is professional, direct, and verbose. He is honest, straightforward, and does an excellent job of cutting through excess legal-ese to reach the crucial points.

I have never spoken to a lawyer before and was very nervous with my situation going on. Claire made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I’m pregnant and just very vulnerable right now she made sure I knew my rights and made sure I was safe. I have already recommended her to my family and friends ! I can’t express how grateful I am to have her as my lawyer.

Claire was nothing short of incredible with how she represented me and my interests. She was always available, super prompt, organized, tactful, and strategic throughout the entire process. Claire was also very empathetic and practical which was super important at various times throughout my case and trial. Ultimately, Claire won me a large settlement and won my case. I would highly and confidently recommend Ms. Melehani to anyone and I would absolutely hire her again!

Steve Gerrish was exactly the guy I needed when I negotiated my employment contract at the sale of my company. He had a framework of reasonable and customary terms, but he was completely open to my idiosyncratic preferences. I may have imagined it, but I felt that he absolutely understood what I wanted to accomplish, and (conversely) what I did not care about at all. He was clear and responsive when I was drafting and negotiating the contract, and he was ready and alert when the provisions were unexpectedly triggered.

He represented me in a trial-like arbitration setting in 2000. He was well prepared and did an excellent job presenting a complex case. We prevailed on every count and were awarded our fees. Since then he has become my adviser on various partnership and HR matters. He is generous with his time, offers concise, practical answers and is very fair when it comes to billing. Steve has a great deal of personal integrity. Ethical behavior comes naturally to him. His advice has helped me avoid numerous problems over the years.

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:

    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.

    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.

    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
