I came to Mr. Gentry after having been referred to him by some of his peers. Mr. Gentry is a very wise older man, with a great deal of experience. I was charged with a misdemeanor crime, and through his contacts and negotiation, he got me a deal with the DA that was just as good as a dismissal. I would recommend him to anyone.

Its hard to find a good lawyer, I have wasted thousands over the years. Let me tell you why I believe Mr Gentry is the best in town. I had a warrant filed against me for renting a piece of equipment they said i never returned. I called 9 lawyers and they all told me the same thing. That my ONLY OPTION was to go turn myself in at the jail and pay bail($600) and then they could help me once it goes to court. I had a perfectly clean record and couldn't believe it so I kept calling. Mr. Gentry took care of the problem over the phone with minimal effort. Not to mention all the taxpayers dollars he saved by not sending me to court.

Shirazi Law Firm is incredible! I came to them almost a year ago about a sexual harassment case. I was referred by someone who knew them and their skill set well. We got the ball rolling with my case then after a few months I got cold feet, I told them I didn’t want to follow through and they understood. I went back to the place where I was wrongfully harassed because the person was removed from the location but when I came back they treated me very poorly. They were retaliating in many different ways. I got the courage to call Mr. Shirazi again and he said let’s take care of this, no one deserves to be treated this way. He cared about my case and was very sensitive to the subject matter. He is professional and reliable. We continued the lawsuit and I am so happy I did because they made the whole process so easy. Mr Shirazi and his team took everything into their own hands and every few weeks I would get an update of how things were going. He was accessible when I had any questions or concerns and he guided me through the whole thing. He knows what he is doing and he does it well. We settled my case and I wouldn’t have done this with anyone else. They are a great firm!

I was at a very low point of my life when I got terminated from a very popular and huge financial institution. I was dealing with major health issues combined with my livelihood being taken from me. Upon my first conversation with Chris, I felt an immediate connection. He not only showed an interest in me but listened to the facts of my case. When I met Chris in person at his office, he was very polite and professional. I think what impressed me the most was his sincere interest in me and how I had been treated by this Company. He looked online and shared with me the labor laws pertaining to my case due to a wrongful termination. Chris explained the legalities of which I was entitled to and explained with a lot of detail what could be ahead of me. He shared with me the anticipated window of time that my case could more than likely take. He provided with me the choices I could/would be presented with as time would take over in my case. Chris always handled my office visits professionally and always offered me coffee, water and even something to eat. His office environment was quite comfortable, clean, and orderly. ......I was a 57 woman with health issues when I lost my job. In all honesty, this was not the sort of retirement I looked forward to after 40 years of working. However, I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone, but if some type of similarities are being experienced........Chris Leclerc is the attorney to talk to first!!!!!! You will get a truly honest response to any questions!

I hired Daniel for a labor law case after speaking to several attorneys because he came across a knowledgeable, understanding, and professional attorney with experience in the field. I was hoping that my initial assessment was correct and though my case dragged on for a long time due to the court system, I was consistently surprised by his work ethics, always returning calls/email and keeping me in the loop even though I now live 3000 miles away in East Coast. He handled the case very well, never missed a deadline and very fair with his billing and fee structure. I really do recommend him as he is an excellent attorney and a good human being.

Steve is that kind of (really good) lawyer you see on television. He's witty, sharp as an X-Acto knife, charismatic, tenacious, and driven to ensure justice and support his clients. He's truly the kind of lawyer anyone would wish to have. He consistently blew me away with how quickly he'd transition from being consoling and explanatory with me to ferociously advocating for me at the drop of a dime. He was pragmatic, honest, genuine, assertive, and considerate--he always made sure to prioritize my own well-being and happiness within the process and it showed through from start to finish. If I ever find myself in need of legal guidance again, he and his team will undoubtedly be my first call.

From the moment I hired Mr. Vernon to represent me in an employment related case against a former employer for violations of the minimum wage act he was unbelievably attentive, responsive and eager for justice. Working with Greg I always felt like I wasn't just a client, but that he sincerely cared about my case and was fighting for what he knew was right. Throughout discover Greg took on dozens of extra hours when opposing council attempted to strong arm important documentation out of the court, he was always available to answer any questions, and in the end he helped me negotiate for a settlement far exceeding my expectations. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with Mr. Vernon, going into any legal matter is never enjoyable, however with Greg working on your behalf you know your case is in the right persons hands.

After a through and extensive consultation with Attorney Lasko, where he was able to analyze my termination and give me a firm understanding of what my legal rights were as to wrongful termination and unemployment benefits, I retained Attorney Lasko. Attorney Lasko was able to put together an highly effective letter that was sent to my former employer which resulted in my re-employment and the winning of unemployment benefits in the appeal process that covering unemployment benefits for the time I was out of work..

I met Peter Jasen in 2002 after my first accident at an amusement park. He talked with me at length on what I needed to do and the next day was at my home to see how I was and discuss my case. He helped me through all the medical issues I was going through, was there for some of my appointments and always there by phone to add support during this horrible time. In 2009 I also had two auto accidents 6 months apart. Both happened in the evening hours and I called Mr. Jasen and got a return response from him immediately. He pointed me in the direction I needed to go to receive the medical help I needed. With these two accidents being more severe he was there often to doctor appointments, check up calls to be updated on my condition and lots of excellent advice along the way. At times I was confused on all that was happening to me and he knew how to handle my stress and guide me. Mr. Jasen also knew where I should send my truck for the repairs and stayed on top of everything there while I was being taken care of medically and couldn`t. All repairs were done to perfection and I was totally satisfied. I appreciated that Mr. Jasen was there helping and making sure all things were done right for my future driving safety. I had small issues that I also called him on and he handled and gave me direction . Never once did I ever feel I was a bother to him even though they were little questions I needed to ask. Mr. Jasen is the type of man that`s 100 % perfessional and truly cares about the people and what`s right for them. He knows the law and stands by his clients who need him. He always calls back in a timely fashion and never cuts you off when talking to you. He is patience but firm and will always be honest about what`s going on with your issue. All of my appointments were kept and on time. Never was any of them post poned or canceled for another date. My issues were addressed and I felt safe with all his help. Mr. Jasen is a terrific lawyer with a lot of knowledge of the law and I will continue to use him if needed and have recommended him to others which are totally satistfied with his work. I appreciate Peter Jasen Attorney for everything and all he has done for my family and I. Top notch lawyer and the best at being a caring human being.

Let’s be honest... no one wants to need an attorney, ever! However, if you do, as we did, this is THE only firm to consider on LI. From partners, Rob and Sarah, to junior attorneys, associates and support staff, their services are simply unmatched. And wowza! There’s even a real human, extremely competent, receptionist that answers the telephone. No push this and speak that and try to muddle thru some silly automated phone system; a consistent personal, caring approach to business at every level. Rob Valli is thorough, on point and straight forward, mixed with kindness and compassion. Don’t mistake his kindness for weakness, tho! He can be a “bulldog”, if necessary and definitely precisely when needed. make no mistake, he knows his business and gets the job done. There’s no “sugar coating“ and telling you what you want to hear, refreshing! He, and his associates at every level, provide everything you need and want on your side. Strong communication skills are a must for me and they deliver information clearly and concisely. Always, in a professional and succinct comprehensive manner. They know lay of land on LI and have the skill set to get job done. Recently, I was asked how I know Rob when referring him, again. I paused... just for a moment and said “...Rob is my friend!”. I suddenly realized I do consider him my friend. I trust him implicitly, he’s kind, thoughtful and adds a true human element. It’s exactly what we all want and need when we unfortunately find we need an attorney. What more would you ask for in a friend!? I’d use Rob for any and all legal needs and highly recommend him, and his firm, to anyone looking for a complete legal team package. It simply doesn’t get any better. Don’t look any further, he and his colleagues are it!

I was involved in a case with literally hundreds of other plaintiffs. I always felt that Camie was honest and fair in their dealing with me but it was not until after the case ended that I knew just successful the firm was. I was involved in a case where a local coin seller was running a complex scheme taking orders and payments for products and holding the payments, hedging that he could buy the products cheaper in the future to fulfill the order. This all came to a crashing stop when several people placed large orders and the prices of precious metals skyrocketed making it impossible for him to fill the orders. At this point he also got shut down by the authorities and all his inventory confiscated. During the whole process Camie kept me informed, made workable payment arrangements for services and continued to be on the cutting edge as the case proceeded. Of the many people I talked to about this case, I believe the amount I paid for premium representation was among the most affordable Her results were absolutely astounding. My claim in the case received one of the highest payouts and I recouped among the highest percentage of my claim of any of the plaintiffs. I recommend Camie Wade at the Thompson and Kerby law firm to anyone who is needing professional legal help.
