My divorce has finally ended. Attorney Gersten’s representation, guidance, and ability to walk me through this process was top notch. I had a very contentious divorce, my ex tried to have me put in prison on false accusations. Attorney Gersten was right there on the phone with the detectives keepingme free. In the end we accomplished all my goals in the divorce and feel like the judge truly saw my side of events. Karen’s closing was a perfect summary of how I had been wronged by my wife and my love of my daughter, the other victim in this case. I nearly cried in court. Her staff has always been there to answer questions and give reassurance that my voice was going to be heard. Every case is different, I can’t predict an outcome in yours, but Karen Gersten is going to relentlessly pursue your best interests.

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 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.

Pat, a remarkable lawyer, has been instrumental in helping me rectify my life and regain control. Initially facing 37 felony charges, he successfully negotiated a 2-year probation. Without his intervention, I wouldn’t be here today. Pat’s strategic thinking and extensive knowledge are evident in hisability to devise a comprehensive plan to guide individuals stuck in a rut, providing them with the necessary tools to reclaim their lives. I am eternally grateful for his unwavering dedication and the invaluable lessons I’ve gained since entrusting him with my legal matters.

From the moment we left Pat’s office after our consultation we knew he would be the best representation for our son. Pat is a very knowledgeable, empathetic and down to earth person. Throughout the whole process he was always available no matter what time it was, even on weekends. Pat would also callme and my son just to check in and see how he was doing. Without Pat I don’t know if we would have had the same outcome. After this I consider Pat a dear friend to our family. I highly recommend Patrick Tomasiewicz for your Attorney without hesitation!

Attorney Patrick Tomasiewicz is a rare combination of intelligence, deep experience, empathy, humility, and most importantly, high integrity. I consulted with his firm, Fazzano & Tomasiewicz on two legal matters over the past year and he handled them both effectively and efficiently. Attorney Tomasiewicz exudes trustworthiness and confidence, with not even the slightest hint of arrogance or impatience. He is a class act and I highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs an attorney that is truly on their side.

So….My accident happened in August, I waited a day to get a lawyer, it was my first accident. I never been through any legal matters in my life. I get a big law firm to represent me and they tell me to keep them posted as I go through everything regarding my accident as far as medical treatment, after about 2 months I find out I need surgery. My wife just had surgery so she is out of work and I’m about to be go on leave. The law firm I hired calls me the day of my wife surgery and tell me they can no longer represent me….it took 2 months to get this info. I’m furious but I can’t waste time I need to find a lawyer, I call 5 law firms and 4 get back to me. The first 3 firms I speak to were almost exactly the same, have me explain my case and have me signed up, so they can start, I was losing hope and I get a call back from Ayme Calderon from Law offices of Michael E. Skiber, she was the first to ask me questions, and to give me insight on how cases like mine work. She answered every question I asked, kept me informed on everything going on, and always explained everything to me so I understand everything happening with my case. She managed to get me the max settlement before Christmas. Ayme Calderon helped me give my family a Christmas that will be talk to for years to come. I am so grateful for her time and effort, and how quickly this all happened. Thank you Ayme, you helped me make this Christmas a happy one. God bless you!

The immigration process can be really long and stressful, so having a caring and supportive attorney makes all the difference. Amy Morilla and her team are exactly that. They understand what you're going through and provide the guidance and support you need every step of the way. If you want someone who’s not just knowledgeable but also genuinely invested and kind this is the perfect place for you. So let’s start with Amy she is confident and knowledgeable. Having someone who is skilled and sure of themselves can be reassuring when dealing with legal matters a true anchor in the bureaucratic world. Allison Zambrano she is the best!!! she was incredibly supportive and guided me through the entire process with such kindness and she was so patient with me and my questions, truly an incredible person.Damaris Cruz prepared me thoroughly for the interview and even accompanied me on the day. With her expertise and personal touch, She was incredibly helpful during, before and after my interview, providing the support and guidance I needed. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference, and she was just great throughout the entire process. So I highly recommend Amy and her team they are great!!

Eso fue un día miércoles El lunes llame y no trabajaron El martes me contestaron y me indicaron que la abogada no había llegado que luego me llamarían ,AÚN SIGO ESPERANDO LA LLAMADA. Si no están en capacidad de recibir más casos, no de la cita , porque la consulta se tiene que pagar , si no pueden solucionar el caso pueden llamar e informar, si no quieren tomar el caso pueden llamar en informar ,.

Not exactly sure how to explain how Mike's hard and excellent work has changed my life forever. I was hit by a car on Park Ave & 34th street in 2019—while riding my electric scooter home to the upper east side from the east village. An SUV blitzed through a yellow light and plowed into me as I was taking off into a green light. I broke my shoulder in 3 places—which could be repaired surgically. However, it wasn't until 2 years later that I realized that the accident had thrown my body completely out of whack forever, and I'd never be able to run more than 2-3 miles ever again. The driver of the SUV had a $50K insurance policy which was just enough to cover my hospital and surgery costs. But, Mike is a genius, and he discovered an opportunity to claim an even larger, additional settlement—which I never in a million years would have known about. He went after it. He fought for me. He never gave up. He does not give up, ever. 2 years later, he called me to let me know that we settled and disclosed the settle amount to me—and I cried tears of joy. Mike Rosnick has changed my life forever and for that, I am eternally grateful and while I hope I never have to work with him ever again, I absolutely would in a heart beat. TY MIKE

In less than one year, Brennen helped my family to settle a legal malpractice case that I’m extremely grateful for. Not only did we settle within my range, his responsiveness was unlike any professional I’ve dealt with. You can trust him on every level and he’s the “guy” to do it for you. He managed all parties (counseled me on any questions I had — responded within an hour of any emails I sent) but generally, he was the one keeping me in the loop every single month. Also… because of his networking, he actually knew the plaintiff’s attorney, which made for a friendly yet firm and strong settlement. He was the perfect lawyer for this case and I can’t recommend him enough… you are 100% in good hands with Brennen Maki.

I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Attorney J. Ginzberg. I came to him after almost two years into a divorce case that was not going anywhere. My prior attorney proved to be ineffective, uncaring, and often unreachable. Shortly after taking over, Attorney Ginzberg earned my trust. He conveyed competence, and clearly showed a sense of urgency by his proactiveness. He prepared a thoughtful plan of action, formulating various arguments in support of my case. Unlike his predecessor, Attorney Ginzberg was responsive, forthcoming, and consistently followed through on commitments. He took the lead in this case, stayed on top of developments, and had no reservations in challenging the opposing party. This concerted effort over a short six-month period resulted in Attorney Ginzberg settling my case on very equitable terms. I highly recommend Attorney J. Ginzberg to anyone seeking legal help. When I first met him and expressed disappointment with prior counsel, he readily asserted to me that I had come to the right place. I certainly did.

We found Tom and his team, including Trish, Austin and Dawn to be very knowledgeable, thorough and responsive in addressing our concerns and completing the closing in a timely manner .. we would highly recommend this group.

2nd go around with this firm and they just never disappoint. It’s been amazing working with Trish and Tom Jr. they are absolutely the best and make a great team! Responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly they make it known that they work for you and they get the job done! Highly and strongly recommend this dynamic duo of a team and this firm if you’re looking to purchase a home as a first time buyer or experienced buyer look no further. They are always the first on my list to recommend, and to hire. Thanks again for taking me on as a client for our 2nd go around, hoping I’ll see you both again in the near future for another purchase or estate planning. Thanks, Shantel

Peter J. Bartinik, Jr., Esq. was the advocate I needed. Can’t say enough good things about working with him. His professionalism and courtesy were truly appreciated at an anxious time for me. I took a shot on a few google searches (perhaps that’s what you’re doing right now?) to learn who was available to help me and what their specialties are. Attorney Bartinik was an exact match and was highly responsive to all communication including email and phone calls. He made it a frequent point in our conversations to ask me if I had any questions or if I needed more clarity to understand some aspects of my case. Attorney Bartinik moves with ease within the legal system and the courtroom as a result of decades of experience and knowledge. That was a huge, calming influence on me, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and to lend a review.

He explained the work to be done thoroughly, and the entire process was carefree and straightforward. He was available daily by cell phone even while getting a root canal, and just as professional and pleasant as always. We promptly and successfully obtained our approvals.

I typically do not write reviews; however I am more than happy to write this one. In a time when in seems that all most everyone only cares about “what’s in it for them” Attorney Trachten took time out of his busy schedule to provide me with information that I am sure others would have asked for a retainer to give. He gave me recommendations as well as referrals that could be very beneficial to my circumstance. Although, what he provided may be considered a courtesy consultation, I believe he went above and beyond. When the time comes for me to hire an attorney, I am happy I know where to go. I will certainly hire him to take care of my real estate needs. Thank you Attorney Trachten you are a rare gem.

It was very frustrating to find an attorney that could handle our case. Atty Daddario was just a random find on Google. We initially hired him to take on our case because he won a majority of his cases. As time progressed, it was apparent that Atty Daddario wasn't just a random atty, but someone with the best intentions for our case. He provided us with all the necessary information and details every step of the way. As we got closer to the court date for the hearing, it was nerve wracking. However, Atty Daddario assured us that it would be okay. He was right. Everything went smoothly, and there was nothing to be anxious about. I was very impressed with how professional and knowledgeable Atty Daddario was about our case. I'd highly recommend this well respected Atty, and that you would not be disappointed. Thank you, Atty Daddario, and Lots of Luck as you continue to serve and help win one case at a time.

We are fully satisfied with the process and outcome of our estate planning with Paul. We chose him based on his expertise in trusts and estates law. You do not want a part-timer whose practice is mostly in criminal defense or real estate for your estate planning. From start to finish this took us less than a month for a process of moderate complexity.. Most of this was done remotely, by Zoom and phone. Paul is available and communicative. Alternative choices are fully explored, leading to decisions whose implications are clear, and in which we have confidence. Highly recommended.

What began as a tough decision to find representation at a very difficult time, turned into a huge relief that helped me to protect my family's interests and needs. Catherine and her amazing staff helped me every step of the way, from consultation to the final judgement. Catherine was there, at any time, to answer my questions, address my concerns and explain every step of this process. My children and I were put in a difficult situation and Catherine walked me through it. At various times when I was unsure of what was in the best interests of my family, she explained the possible outcomes in a way that made it understandable and that allowed me to make the right decision. Catherine always told it as it was and explained how the system works and how to help my family achieve what we needed. When I was pushing for certain goals, Catherine facilitated it. Even when I was not able to reach those goals, Catherine was a voice of reason and explained how to care for my family the best way possible given the situation. She fought for my behalf multiple times and constantly tried to reach a written agreement even very early in the process. Catherine and her incredible staff were constantly in communication with me about what was happening and what could develop in the process. Many times, Catherine cooled my emotions and reminded me of the big picture. After filing for divorce in the middle of last year we came to an agreement early this year, and I could not be any more pleased. Catherine's attention to detail in the final agreement has left me with a feeling of relief, knowing that my children and I are protected and in turn have a much more comfortable and safer environment.

I highly recommend Renee for all of your immigration needs! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, straightforward and honest. She helped my husband and me with a response to a “Notice of Intent to Deny” that we received in response to our I-130 application. She also helped us with a waiver application that was approved a month after it was filed and I received my permanent card a week after that. All that from April to November. Renee prepared the response to the NOID and waiver application extremely well and she knew exactly what was needed to be done at any moment. Also, it was great that everything could be done virtually online since we are more than an hour away from her office. Before we hired Renee, I did extensive research and I really had a great feeling about her. I have had experience with several immigration lawyers, and I only wish Renee was my lawyer from the beginning. Thanks Renee!

I had a one hour consultation with Renee to discuss my wife's pending green card application which we filed last year without the aid of a lawyer. My wife's case had a minor complication and was taking a while for any action to be made by USCIS, so I was concerned. My wife and I discussed the situation with Renee, and she put our mind at ease by letting us know what we could do to prepare for government requests for evidence, and she laid out the ways she could help our case if we needed it. A few months later our case was approved, so we didn't have the opportunity to work with Renee beyond the one consultation.

Throughout my immigration journey, I have had to deal with several different lawyers. I have thus become very particular about what to look for in selecting a lawyer for my naturalization application. After a very careful search and running names through multiple filters, I selected Renee because she came across as straightforward and honest. Most lawyers will try to alarm you as much as possible so that they can make a bigger deal out of your case in order to get fatter fees. Renee gave me a fixed price that was fair. And there were no surprises from that point on. She turned out to be just as professional and competent as I had expected her to be. Everything went through smoothly. She was responsive throughout. And she is clearly very seasoned -- meaning she has seen it all and appears confident and reliable. I endorse her wholeheartedly.

Attorney Wing helped me to create and send a demand letter when my former landlord failed to pay me back my duly owed security deposit. His assistance gave me the confidence to pursue a matter that felt intimidating. In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that came off as being aloof and unpersonable. Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications. I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

He worked tirelessly along with is assistant to get a false charge dismissed and was successful. Do not waste your time looking at reviews that say anything negative about this lawyer.

I would highly recommend hiring Attorney Donald Howard for any of your traffic related issues. I received a ticket for texting and I was not texting but got the ticket anyways because the officer thought "she saw a phone in my hand".... This happened right before Covid hit and closed all the courtrooms for at least a year. (February 2020)...We plead Not Guilty but our case was delayed until yesterday. There was also a huge mess up with the DMV because they were sending many people license suspension notices claiming people didn't show up at court...This was completely false because the courts never received any of the infractions....Thus there was no court or court dates... To make a long story short Donald took care of everything and put my mind at ease. The case was also dismissed. So yes I would highly recommend Donald. Thanks Donald, Mike in Prospect.

It’s been 5 years since my divorce. I am finally able to write a review. The entire process was horrible and caused PTSD. Eric and his team made my situation the best it could be. He came in to my divorce as a second atty. First atty that I had for 9 months was horrible. Eric wrapped up my complicated case in 3 months - he was incredible! I am not from this arena of power house negotiating or strategy. I am so grateful he was up against my ex and his atty. He fought swiftly, intentionally and successfully. He understood my abilities and my lack of abilities. He fully read the opposing team and their antics/personalities/“wrong doings” to the max degree. He was emotionally there for me…as I felt scared and weak. Being a stay at home mom is a wonderful opportunity I was afforded in life. But a divorce process is extremely intimidating to this inferior position. When there is a sense of no control or ability to access family money-this feels like drowning. Eric was a gentleman and moved with professional integrity while being challenged with extreme undue stress from the opposing team. If you feel like an underdog-you need Eric-I can only speak from that vantage point. I am better than ever-it’s taken me time to move past the negative experience. My financial situation and future are stable thanks to this team…they play fair and win. I will always chose to move in life with integrity - exactly how Eric operates!

Upon contacting Eric for an initial consult, he made me aware that his initial fee was to donate to a children’s charity close to his heart. This spoke volumes to me. I could tell from the start of this initial conversation that he was compassionate, and upon conclusion of the consult, I knew that he was not only compassionate but extremely knowledgeable, professional and the type of attorney I wanted to represent me. He continued to impress me throughout my divorce proceedings. After the consult, I hired Eric as my divorce attorney, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Eric was professional, organized, meticulous, compassionate, and supportive during a turbulent time in my life. He not only gave me guidance and his expertise throughout the divorce proceedings, but he also was very emotionally supportive when necessary. He gave me a clear understanding of the process and what options existed in my particular case. Eric along with his associate and staff were very responsive and considerate throughout my divorce. They were truly amazing, and I would highly The Law Office of Eric R.

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:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    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.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    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:

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.
