My wife and I put off estate planning for years because it felt like such a daunting task—but we should have done it much sooner! Marco and his team made the process as painless as possible. They did a fantastic job explaining our options and guiding us through each step, while still allowing us to make the decisions that were best for our family. One of the things we appreciate most is their client care program, which gives us peace of mind knowing that as our situation changes, updating our trust will be seamless. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and highly recommend Marco and his team to anyone looking to secure their family's future. -Adam F.

Marco and his team were dedicated, hardworking and responsive. They were quick to resolve any issues and made the process easy for us to understand. We highly recommend Simmons and Schiavo for any and all estate planning. Joe and Jana

If you’re searching for a defense attorney who will fight for your freedom like your life depends on it—because it does—Paul Moraski is the only name you need to know. He represented my sister in what felt like a completely hopeless case, spanning three different courts. To say the odds were against us would be an understatement. We had a better chance of witnessing God part the seas than avoiding jail time—but Paul made the impossible happen. His results were nothing short of miraculous. From the very first appearance, it was clear that his reputation and respect in the courtroom were well-earned. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and his command of the legal process transformed our overwhelming, anxiety-filled nightmare into a smooth and manageable experience. He guided us every step of the way with confidence and compassion. Paul is worth every penny we spent—no small statement from two single mothers of four children. He didn’t need our business and had no obligation to accommodate us financially, but he graciously worked out a payment arrangement without hesitation. He isn’t just an exceptional lawyer—he’s a genuinely good person. I truly hope we never need his services again, but if we do, Paul Moraski will be our only call. If you want an attorney who delivers results that defy belief, trust him. You won’t regret it.

Honestly I can't say enough about this Lawyer I've had my share of lawyers but by far never had one who not only allowed me to make payments but gave me a reasonable fee for what ended up being a 3 different court probation violation I never saw 1 minute in jail...(which everyone knows the first thing that happens on a PO Violation is that your held) Paul held me responsible, he is a straight shooter very upfront n honestly about what to expect never once guaranteed no jail time but definitely after watching him in all 3 courts without question I feel very confident to have Paul as my go to Lawyer for anything criminal!! He's worth every cent you pay!! Paul also gave me a awesome referral to another lawyer for my sister for a NH case it's really to bad he doesn't do NH Law!! But his referral was also very amazing as well!! So super grateful for meeting Paul I'm so confident I wouldn't hesitate to call Paul everytime!!! If you are looking for a amazing, we'll put together, very confident lawyer who knows the inside and out of all of the courts this is your man!! Thanks again!!!

Paul is a great attorney. He answered my call right away and advised me what was going to happen. I was very nervous before calling him but he put me at ease by explaining the process. He is very knowledgeable, I knew right away I picked the right person to represent me. If I or anyone I know ever needs representation in court I’m calling Paul!!

I asked a friend as I was facing a hard time, and was looking for an experienced immigration attorney. She told me that she knew a few, but Jan Albrecht had already assisted her brother and so she suggested me to address him. I couldn't thank her more! From the first time, Jan's responses were direct and to the point. He told me that my case was not an easy one, but we would fight together. And indeed, he did so, he fought as if he was I. We had a very satisfying cooperation, where he was calm enough to instruct me properly, and his confident and cool attitude to the case smoothed my anxiety too. He has amazing professionalism and intelligence, to identify the strong and weak points of everyone's case and decide the appropriate steps to the success. However, he is receptive to his client's opinion, and doesn't act on his own. The results of our cooperation were amazing, as we overturned a situation that, to be honest, I didn't even know how many chances of success had. To conclude, I was absolutely delighted to cooperate with Jan Albrecht, and I am perfectly sure that he will continue to make his lucky clients happy.

Always replied promptly which I always appreciated. He is very well spoken and is able to communicate with a wide range of people. His performance and work ethic will make you feel secure and comfortable knowing you're in good hands. During trial, he commanded the courtroom with ease. His preparedness showed in his performance and questioning of witnesses. Most importantly, his actions resulted in a win. If you want to hire a good, hard working attorney with mental toughness, look no further than Attorney Stefan Rozembersky.

Couple of months after I submitted my case to the USCIS. I have gotten into a car accident. Since my licenses were international I got into serious troubles and was facing a potential jail time & possible compromise of my immigration case. My Lawyer (Valarie) at that time; when she heard the news, she took over that case absolutely no charge and went to court with my twice! Eventually, she got the case dismissed and my immigration case was approved on time. I would recommend that compassion and professionalism to everyone I know.

I contacted Ms. Crow for advice on handling a matter involving a company; I reached her approximately 30 minutes prior to a call I had with the other party. Ms. Crow took my call immediately, listened to a brief summary of the situation, and provided clear, concise points for me to consider during the discussion. We agreed that I would provide subsequent follow-up. Ms. Crow’s suggestions were excellent, the call was successful, and I hired her to represent me in negotiations; the matter was resolved in my favor. Ms. Crow was always responsive, by phone and email, her work was excellent, she was friendly, patient, and sympathetic, and her fees were reasonable. I would strongly recommend her for personal representation in business matters.

Attorney Chris agreed to take on my case partway through my divorce. She walked into what I knew was going to be a challenging divorce with many complexities. I honestly thought there was no hope. I felt beyond helpless trying to pull my kids and myself out of an unfair situation that was only getting worse by the day. Immediately after having the first meeting with Attorney Chris, I felt a sense of hope and ease. I knew instantly that I was in great hands. Her ability to navigate and handle the complexities of my divorce was impeccable. With my ex-husband's highly dishonest, unfair, and intimidating acts and tactics, she was able to set the record straight and make it right. She was fierce when she needed to be and didn't hold back, SHE PUT THE 3 LAWYERS MY EX- HUSBAND HAD TO SHAME! Attorney Chris is fearless, she was not intimidated by anyone or any given situation that came her way. She is very knowledgeable with the law, and not once did she back down or settle for anything less than what I was entitled to. She fights for what's right! Attorney Chris treated me with the utmost level of respect and sensitivity throughout the whole process. She was a great support system and a great friend. I appreciated the many times she was always there when I needed to reach out to her for any questions, guidance, advice, or just to have "that support" through an extremely difficult time. She was there every time, I never once felt like I was a bother to her and she always responded in a timely manner. Attorney Chris's outstanding dedication, expertise, knowledge of the laws, strategic thinking, professionalism, and fearlessness proved to achieve an outstanding positive outcome in my divorce. She is solely why I was able to pull my kids and myself back above water and put an end to an abusive, intimidating, unfair, and dishonest marriage. I can't thank her enough for putting us on a path of healing, a path to recovery, and a path to a better life!! We thank you immensely Chris for all of your hard work, kindness, and dedication throughout this whole process!! Lisa Cummings

I hired attorney Carima to handle my case. She was great. Christine is very knowledgeable was always professional and prepared. I know nothing about divorce and was scared and upset. She id very easy to talk to and calmed me down; answered all my questions. She got me the best outcome that I could have asked for. I have children and she explained that throughout life, as the needs of the kids and myself change, there may come a time to modify my divorce. I will be calling her again to handle that. I will be hiring her to take care of a civil matter as well. She also handles civil matters.

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

Chris was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I was in need of legal advice for a matter regarding pet custody (yes pets, not children), and he gave me his time and expertise and advised me on numerous solutions and paths to take. I really lucked out, because he has actually dealt with this type of issue in the past. I left feeling confident, and I am no longer scared of what to expect should my issue escalate. He was funny, educated, and patient with all of my questions. While I hope I do not ever need legal services again, if I do, I will confidently go back. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Based on how he carried himself, and how he offered multiple options and how they may play out, I would recommend him for other types of custody / divorce issues as well. I did not feel pressured or rushed, and everything he said was clear and well laid out to me.

I have been a self-employed business owner for 34 years, and have had experience with several attorneys. I and my company were sued with no good cause by an individual for financial damages, and this action lasted about 3 years. I can honestly say without reservation, and with my strongest possible recommendation, that Chris Fein is the finest and most skillful and knowledgeable attorney I have ever encountered. He is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, takes the time to listen and understand all of the issues at hand, and how they affect you or your business, is a master strategist, of the highest ethics both professionally and personally, and is very adroit verbally at the bar or in legal conference. He is also very patient and understanding, realizing that most clients are not legally educated. I would urge anyone reading this to retain his services if needed, and confer my very highest possible recommendation on his behalf.

I do not usually leave reviews, however it was refreshing to be treated respectfully by an attorney. He was actually a really nice guy.

Attorney MacKoul is a brilliant gentleman whose ethical standards of legal practice are truly commendable. He clearly has an in-depth understanding of the law and has a remarkable ability to navigate complex legal issues with precision and insight. Throughout my case, Attorney MacKoul demonstrated an extraordinary ability to listen, understand, and provided thoughtful counsel. He made me feel safe on this sad and emotional rollercoaster that I had unexpectedly found myself on. I am profoundly grateful for Attorney MacKoul's expertise and unwavering support.

Myself and my former roommates worked with Arthur in order to resolve a dispute with our former landlord. Arthur worked directly with us and was consistently attentive and professional throughout the process. He did an excellent job of explaining all applicable laws and procedures, thereby making the process far less stressful than we were expecting. Additionally, he helped us reach a highly favorable conclusion to the matter in a relatively short period of time and for very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody dealing with similar disputes and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

Over the course of one weekend, I suddenly found both of my elderly parents in the hospital. One of them would need to move into a nursing home almost immediately as the other recovered. Only, I had no clue how to even begin this process. An event like this is emotionally draining, and now, needing to quickly find a nursing home on top of this, was overwhelming. The nursing homes are ready to take patients, eager for them. Bring them on, private pay! Only going to cost you thousands of dollars a month. Easy. When I called Spencer Ghazey-Bates, this is where I was, completely lost and overwhelmed, prepared for my parents to lose a lifetime of gathered assets within the year. After getting off the phone, this all changed. I had a plan of action. I had reassurances from an expert that has done this time and time again for other families. An overall plan was made, steps were given, one at a time, so as not to be overwhelming. I finally could feel like I knew what to do and could start sorting our lives out again while the paperwork was being taken care of by professionals. The nursing home's billing departments are experts at working for themselves. Without professional legal representation, I felt defenseless from their statements and bills. With Spencer, you have an export that works FOR YOU. Over the months of this process, we gracefully landed with my parent in a good nursing home and my parent’s assets intact. Every call, email, and text to Spencer and his team was answered quickly and professionally, and at times, I almost could forget about the furious amounts of paperwork going back and forth in the background. I was able to focus instead on my family. I cannot more highly recommend Spencer-Ghazey-Bates and his team for any elder planning you could need than I already have. If your family is having a crisis, or even just planning for a crisis, this is the team you want in your corner.

On the day of the hearing, Patrick explained how the hearing would unfold and again answered all of my questions. Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of help with a magistrate hearing.

My wife and I worked with Alexis to determine whether a will or trust was the best fit for our needs. She carefully reviewed our situation and clearly explained the options, detailing the advantages of each. Once we decided to proceed with a trust, Alexis guided us through every step of the process, ensuring everything was properly set up—including powers of attorney, health care proxies, and living wills. We highly recommend Alexis for her expertise and support throughout both the decision-making and implementation phases.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

I've had the opportunity to network with Jeffrey on a professional level for decades. For 20 years, I worked in a facility that cared for patients that suffered injuries from accidents. For those patients, their recovery was generally complicated with the stress of managing their insurance, worrying about recouping the value of their vehicle, being blamed and having medical bills chase them for years. That said, in all my years of working with these patients and of course dealing with their attorneys, there's no attorney that has compared to Attorney Lavey. His level of professionalism is only superceded by his level of genuine concern, which is a rare combination in an attorney. In my experience, working and coordinating with attorneys on behalf of our patients isn't always easy. Some attorneys never call, or never take or return my call, some truly have no idea what they're doing, others are indifferent, don't really care or even remember their own client. Jeff is completely the opposite of that description. After 20 years of dealing with dozens upon dozens of attorneys, I can honestly say that none have been as caring, professional, knowledgeable and genuine as Jeff. He regularly communicates with his clients' caregivers, their insurance carriers and most importantly the client. I know this from experience because after seeing his level of commitment to his clients over the years, I've confidently referred patients, friends, my own family and even my spouse to Jeff with complete faith, Of all the firms and attorney that I worked with and had the option of recommending, I will always choose Attorney Lavey. He takes over and all his client has to focus on is getting better. SIMPLY THE BEST!

I went through a tumultuous divorce recently. I feel so blessed to have Mrs. Avalo-Imperio on my side. She left no stone unturned for starters. She was extremely calming and kind hearted when she could see I was anxious especially in a four way meeting. I felt like she protected me at all costs. The best part of everything was watching her in court! She was incredibly prepared, a shark against opposing counsel and their lies. She knew when and how to show her hands and/or hold them for a later date. Everything was so well thought out and it showed in the results. Mind you, in a divorce, you have to give a little to get a little. Annalisa was great at getting me to see that!

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:
    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.
