I have known Steve for over 25 years. He has represented me personally and professionally in many matters during this peroid and will continue to do so in the future. The matters have been extremely complicated at times. It is those times that Steve has proven to be invaluable in his representaion. He not only brings a high level of legal expertise, but his practical approach to business solutions have made the difference in getting the deal closed. Also, his dedication to details in EVERY transaction from sacrificing his nights, weekends, etc. to ensuring the documents are correct is wonderful to your piece of mind. Candidly, with Steve representing you it's like having the legal side and many business elements of the transaction on cruise control..

I had hired Roy many years ago. When a recent real estate transaction needed good council I recontacted him. He was always available, reassuring and knowledgeable. When the transaction became problematic he negotiated an approach that saved me from losing a substantial amount of money. I recommend him without question.

Quite simply – I feel lucky to have met Roy and have had him on my side. I was facing a complicated and emotionally charged situation – something that was challenging on many levels. From the moment he took on the case Roy gave me the confidence to believe I was doing the right thing in pursuing my case and that I had the right person to guide and support me. Importantly, he treated me like a person throughout rather than a faceless case. He was entirely professional but also offered guidance, reassurance and much needed lightness at the right times – so what could have been hard and cold felt human.
Practically Roy was always available and proactive. He ensured I knew what was happening at every stage. He kept me fully involved in all decision making helping me understand the issues and opportunities.
He always responded quickly and professionally to my calls and emails. Roy answered all of my questions and always explained (in layman’s terms) what was happening and why.
He handled the other lawyers extremely well – and with a good dose of humor. Whether face to face or in emails, he was always clear, direct, and completely in control.
Critically as we came close to the conclusion of the case, Roy redoubled his efforts ensuring all the people involved for the other parties completed their work properly and on time so we were able to reach a successful conclusion.
The matter has now been concluded, something that I do not believe would have happened without Roy’s involvement. I am so pleased I found him and would highly recommend him.

Stephanie is a standout attorney! My case has not been decided yet. Regardless of the outcome, I want to take this time to thank Stephanie for her amazing ability and let her know I appreciate everything she has done with my case thus far. Her talents and skills are exceptional. This was a journey that will never forget. I cannot describe the way I feel about the care she gave to me and my case. She believed in me when nobody else did. She uncovered the truth, exposed the lies, and held individuals accountable. Looking at my case from the beginning to now, there was nothing I would change. I am thankful to have her in my corner.

My case was convoluted and difficult to understand. We had such high hopes for this case to go to trial, it did not and was dismissed. Stephenie gave it her all, the firm right there with her. Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win, but I know that no one could have put more sweat and blood into what we hoped for! Special attorney, special firm!

Michael Goldstein was assigned as my primary defense attorney and I could not be more pleased. He was professional, responsive, and never more than a phone call away. He gave me advice but the final decision was always left up to me. I felt like I always had an advocate and would recommend him to anyone in need of services.

Despite the challenges and complexities of my case, Michael was on-top of things and went above and beyond the expectations of paid counsel. While his work was excellent as expected, what stood out for me was the fact that he ensured I maintained my dignity and respect throughout this arduous process. That facet of life-interactions is invaluable to me.

Virginia Kling is the lawyer you want on your side for any complex, difficult, divorce case. She is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and detailed. She knows family law inside out and creatively comes up with precedents that can be applied to the case and help move negotiations forward. Her listening skills are matched only by her patience -- she will really try to take in and address all your concerns, and work in tandem with other skilled professionals when necessary (e.g. forensic accounting expert). Meetings whether in person or over the phone are conducted efficiently, well prepared, and I love that Virginia is always easily accessible for any question or follow-up, and turns things and documents around in record time. She drafts exceedingly well, and I felt she was my advocate at every step and kept my goal (to achieve a fair, balanced, settlement with adequate safeguards for my children's custody) first and foremost throughout the protracted, long, and difficult negotiations. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a tough, yet open, balanced, and highly personable, divorce attorney.

Virginia was not only an excellent lawyer, but truly cared about my case. She was extremely detail oriented and took time to learn the specifics of my case. She produced several written briefs for my case, and even other lawyers spoke highly of how well they were prepared. It was an incredibly challenging time, but having a lawyer as capable and as caring as Virginia made such a huge positive difference!

One of the best attorneys I had the pleasure of working with. Karen Shinskie advised me on my child custody agreement. The end result was a well-thought-out document that would actually work in the real world, as opposed to something that just looks good on paper. Ms. Shinskie was patient, kind, thoughtful, creative, open minded, reasonable, realistic, efficient, and effective – everything you would want in a family law attorney. She helped me to see the situation from various perspectives and advised how the various legal stipulations would play out in my day-to-day life, which helped me make informed decisions regarding my children. Ms. Shinskie knows how to get to the crux of the matter thus saving you lots of time and money. This is a person you want on your side when you are going through a difficult time.

Karen was exactly who I needed as I struggled through my divorce, custody, support and all the questions that come with it. She did exhaustive research for all of my questions and it is very clear that her past experience in the courtroom as a prosecutor makes her someone you want on your side if it gets to that point! She has a way of asking questions that gets to the bottom of what you are trying to do. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome she was able to get me to.

In 2015, I was asked by my medical school to leave the M.D. program citing my academic under-performance. At that time, I had serious family obligations, due to which I could not fully dedicate my time at the school. I could not take time off of school either because my 'green card' application was still pending-- anything that would jeopardize my immigration status in the US would possibly affect my green card approval. Despite my numerous attempts, I had not been able to get an appointment with a physician at the medical school's student clinic. Later, I found out that the months of delay in referral to a psychiatrist was because of clerical incompetence at the clinic, who was later fired of the job. In February 2015, I was diagnosed with moderately severe depression and moderate anxiety and put on medication by a physician's assistant (PA), after I my plea to see any medical profession at the clinic. Soon after, I was able to see an actual psychiatrist due to urgent referral of the PA. The psychiatrist, after evaluating my situations, wrote a 4-page long letter to the medical school for a 'medical leave of absence'. The school took another 2 months, sending my case from committee to committee, to finally dismissing me from the school sticking to the academic under-performance reason. They made these decisions without letting me testify in person, even though I was allowed to do so before the official MLOA was submitted.
This is when I was able to get a hold of Karen Bower. Under her consultation, I requested my educational records from the university, including all the communication among individuals at the medical school, relating to the decision of dismissal. It was discovered that the committees believed that I made up stories to make a case, and that they did not believe the complex situation I was under because of family and immigration issues.
It was under Karen's guidance that I finally put a complaint under the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Education. Since, I am still pursuing to go to a medical school, I did not want to take it to the courts, and wanted to get it over with, I ended up signing a resolution agreement that changed my 'dismissal' to 'withdrawal' but would prevent me from applying to the same medical school again. This was the best resolution given the circumstances I was in, and I thank Karen for pushing me to make it happen.
On a personal level, I want to thank you, Karen, for being there for me, when it seemed like the whole world was against me.

Ms. Bower reviewed my situation and clearly explained the options and how we should proceed during every stage of my case. She kept me informed and updated on a regular basis and she was able to get me back in school when it seemed that not only would I have to transfer but that I was going to lose credits in the process. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, my college career is back on track.

Highly respected counsel on real estate matters in the District of Columbia, and provided spot on counsel and advocacy to this single unit landlord on a very difficult tenancy matter. She has a detailed grasp of both law and process in the area, and a world of practical experience. Understands when to fight and when to compromise, and never gets mad with her client's money. She was always responsive, and fees were totally reasonable. She is great reputation and has solid contacts in the community of real estate practitioners. She guided me, never pulled any punches as to the realities of my options, helped orchestrate an appropriate legal strategy and prevented me from shooting myself in the foot on numerous occasions. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my matter -- the difficult, troublesome tenant who was literally souring my life, is gone, and my property has been sold, and it never would have happened without Patricia's counsel. And she is a solid human being, and restored my faith in the legal profession. I recommend Patricia without reservation.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Atty. Millerioux. She is excellent at what she does.
For the past 5 years, we have been fighting a nightmare real estate case. Atty. Millerioux not only kept me informed, but she explained things in "plain English" so that I could understand. And when I didn't quite get it, she would explain it again with extreme patience.
Atty. Millerioux is very knowledgeable in her field of practice, real estate law. In addition, she is an out of the box thinker and very resourceful. She is passionate about doing the right thing and open to ideas of the client. She leverages her vast 30+ year experience to provide the best service to her client.
I find Atty. Millerioux trustworthy on many levels. She is also very responsive. If she has competing cases, she will properly set expectations as to when she will respond.
Overall, Atty. Millerioux is an excellent attorney. In reflection of my attorney choices, I did a great job and would make the same decision 100 times over.

Ross represented me, a federal employee who had worked for a financial regulatory agency. Five years after the original incident, an EEOC Judge issued a notice finding discrimination and found the Agency discriminated against me based on my disability in connection with its failure to accommodate me and constructive discharge during my probationary period. Ross Fishbein, worked tirelessly on the case for nearly three years and helped negotiate a settlement agreement with the agency for $425,000 to compensate me for back pay, expenses I incurred, and payment of full attorney fees. The settlement was just before the hearing on damages and was likely a better outcome than an EEOC-ordered reinstatement. Ross is professional, compassionate, and extremely well-informed. The EEOC judge commended him for his strong writing skills and hearing presentations. He met all deadlines and did an excellent job. He took the time to explain the different legal strategies, listened to me as a client, and provided advice, presented possible outcomes, all while leaving the decisions on the development and settlement in my hands. I would highly Ross to other federal employees needing advice and a winning team to represent them. Kristin Alden and Ross Fishbein represented me at the EEOC. Thank you so much!!

I hired Ross to represent me with my EEO case against the government and he did a great job. Ross is an intelligent, hard-working, honest attorney that always made himself available. During my case, Ross demonstrated that he was concerned about my work life and how things would affect me after the case was complete (besides just a payout) which meant a lot to me. At one point during the case, my Agency's attorney tried to make excuses for their behavior and poke holes in my case, which was pretty infuriating and disrespectful. Ross was professional and he successfully destroyed the other attorney with solid case law and I was proud to have him on my side. In conclusion, I would highly recommend hiring Ross Fishbein if you plan to take on the government. Expect a long upward and unfair fight. I know it can be difficult to know where to turn when you are wronged and you will feel alone. Ross won a settlement with my case and I know he will do his best for you too.

I am thrilled to provide a reference for Attorney Murad Khan: Earlier this year, I contacted Mr. Khan to handle a breach of contract matter and I was very pleased with the results. Mr. Khan provided superior advice throughout the process and was able to help me resolve the issue without litigation. Mr. Khan is talented, sharp and has a firm grasp on how to get results for his clients.

I am extremely satisfied with the quality of legal service provided by Murad Khan. Murad is a great attorney but in addition, he is an really nice guy who really cares about his clients. He offered insightful solutions to my business and legal problems. I found him to be pragmatic, honest and someone with highly-developed interpersonal skills (which really helped during intense negotiations).
Murad helped my business tactfully mediate a major dispute and successfully negotiate and execute the resulting contracts. In fact, my company had spent 8 months negotiating this deal and it was at risk of imploding. Luckily, Murad and his team were there to help advocate for us and bring us to a successful and fair resolution. I would definitely recommend Murad and his firm.

We had a very successful outcome for our legal case that allowed us to stabilize our family's life after a brain injury. Yet it was the process of the case that was as important to us, because we had so much to manage medically, emotionally, and mentally, during this challenging time. Chris Nace and his excellent team didn't involve us unless they needed our attention, allowing us to place our focus where it was required, in our healing. Also, they spent time answering our questions, no matter how trivial, since we had never used a lawyer except in the creation of our wills. We felt prepared for the case, and informed of our options, but yet not burdened by too much information. We were given adequate preparation for the next steps, but we were not overwhelmed by a multitude of responsibilities. As part of their client care, we were able to help protect our children and other family members from the rigors of an adversarial environment, and to go on with our lives instead of being involved in legal matters.
Frankly, it was Nace's straight talk that brought us to Chris and his father Barry, and it was their compassionate response and awareness of our situation that kept us optimistic through the inevitable ups and downs of this long, convoluted process.
I would recommend Chris Nace without hesitation, as he has the kind of doggedness and integrity that you want on your side, and because this organization has the expertise and experience that makes a level playing field out of the surprises and biases of the legal system.

Janet Goldstein was my whistle-blower attorney and I could not be more pleased. She is honest, hardworking and not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. She took on my case, and was not only kind and understanding, but she is one accomplished lawyer to have on your side. She walked me through the whole False Claims Act process, start to finish, guiding me every step of the way. The end result was a great win. Ms Goldstein knows her stuff and is unbelievably relentless. I highly recommend her and am highly satisfied with her work on my case.

If I am ever in need of legal assistance in the future, my first call would be to Janet. In my case we dealt with both a Wrongful Termination and a Qui Tam Case. I have to say that at all times I knew that noone could have fought more vigorously on my behalf. Both cases were brought to a satisfactory conclusion and I am forever grateful for the assistance that was provided to me. When you are a little guy in a struggle with the big guys you need some firepower in your corner and I certainly had that - in spades. Janet was a pleasure to deal with throughout and I never doubted for a second that I had the best team in my corner. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lawyer to anyone. Thank you very much Janet, I am forever in your debt.

As a real estate agent I come in contact with many, many attorneys. Mr. Schnitzer is the most responsive and knowledgeable attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. He returns calls promptly and consistently represents my buyers and sellers in a professional and caring manner like they were members of his own family. He is my "go-to" attorney, and pleasantly answers all of my legal questions in the pre-bid phase of a transaction. He has been instrumental in holding several transactions together for me by being a strong voice of reason .

Patrice Sheridan has performed admirably pro-bono for non-profit organization efforts within my organization's founding rounds and with a now-structured non-governmental organization. She is exceptionally without ail, thorough, considerate, and has researched what others consider major issues, down to a finite point of making a "life-altering event" into a "simple exercise. Patrice gives credit to her profession's humanity.

Kenneth defended my husband and I when we did not have much money and worked with us. He had to handle a landlord who was quite intransigent and an attorney Maria Green, a government attorney who took the case personally. He fought for us and he negotiated a compromise. It was him was instrumental in getting the case resolved and not having us go to trial. I would recommend Kenneth any day.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Fein in a 1983 civil suit. His legal abilities are exemplary. He is unlike most lawyers. He actually wants to hear from his clients. Communication is essential for a successful litigation. He does not stifle that. He realizes that the client knows more about what happened than he does. Too many lawyers feel they know everything. You will not find a better lawyer to represent you.

Zamani and Associates, including Amanda Sow, helped me with one of the most difficult things in my life, a child custody issue after I returned overseas. I think some lawyers were leery because it was international and had some complicated issues from strong cultural differences, overseas living complexity with many different countries, work conflict, attempts at restraining orders, diverse family relations and even psychological exams and home studies! I was facing a trial and an unknown chaos of what custody would look like in the midst of all of this. I was given an excellent attorney reference to them after struggling for weeks to find a good attorney. I also am myself an attorney. I read the reviews and was convinced, except they said “holistic,” which is normally is very positive. However, my friends and family recommended an “aggressive” attorney because of the difficulties I faced with my ex and inability to stop them.
Zamani and Associates and Amanda more than lived up to their reviews! I was explained my options clearly, which I thought were not possible. They recommended settlement immediate and indeed settled it quickly as they predicted. I went from a dreaded trial posture and an unlivable living arrangement with my children to obtaining an agreement with a livable arrangement without trial after settlement. What I liked best was their calm demeanor, attention to detail, attempts to follow the client’s wishes balanced with realism and courteous prompt responses from all in their office. I actually knew it was the right office when I first walked in and met their administrative assistant and other staff. Amanda was very supportive to my wife and when I was nervous at my hearings.
Amanda and her firm assist in relationship management, communications and helped me like no other in minimizing difficult interaction with my former partner at settlement meetings and according to my wishes. I valued their personal skills, contacts with other attorneys, and ability to work well with diverse family members. They were unphased by the international, cultural, complex procedural and family web. They always had a common “it can be solved” demeanor. With Zamani & Associates, I did not just engage strong legal minds, like Amanda's, but I gained well connected, skilled attorneys familiar with DC courts.
They are also effective as a firm on critical financial issues in my case. I previously experienced great time delays from other attorneys without receiving needed advice. The firm also handled billing professionally and reasonably. Their rates and billing process were clear, which was previously another big stressor. This really speaks to their integrity, ethical, and quality as a firm.
Amanda helped bring relief to my children and family, and even the opposing party appears to be happy. My experience shows how positive a “holistic” approach can be and how important it is for family in conflict. My family circumstances may never be totally easy, but the tools that Zamani & Associates gave me, including books on communication and brushoffs from their constructive attitude, really helped my me and my family.

Alison is insightful, tactful, and determined. When a former client of mine breached our contract and refused to mediate, I was very upset and wasn't sure what to do. Alison helped me file a claim and provided me with lots of support and guidance in my first legal case. Ultimately, she not only secured payment for me, but also did her best to restore my positive relationship with the former client—and both the organization and I are better off because of it. I would recommend Alison without reservation.

Mr. Long represented me when I was named as a Co-defendent in my ex-husbands mortgage foreclosure proceeding. I have been divorced for more than five years so this came as a surprise to me and it required a very quick turn around in the initial response. I am also living well outside of the region where this proceeding is occurring so it required that we handle everything electronically. Mr. Long quickly reviewed my case and very clearly outlined what I needed to do with specific time frames. Mr. Long provided much needed clarity and a sense of calm to an extremely stressful situation. Mr. Long was very sensitive to handling everything via secure electronic delivery which granted me more peace of mind. Mr. Long successfully achieved getting me dismissed from the case and I would highly recommend him for legal services.

I used Mr. Long for a divorce/child custody case already in progress. He was well organized, informative, willing to listen and follow up on my questions and concerns. Mr. Long made a difficult situation understandable by patiently explaining my options. He was prompt getting back to me via email and phone. He welcomed any imput regarding my case and investigated all possibilities that I suggested. Mr. Long and his staff were personable and efficient. If you want a lawyer who is educated and willing to work with you, Mr. Olivier Denier Long is the best attorney for the case. I would definetly retain Mr. Long again if I had the need for an attorney.
