John Gemelli represented me in my extremely difficult divorce. Over the three years that it took he always took every call, was completely available when not in court and is the most brilliant legal mind you can have on your side. Hire him. Hire his partners. They are excellence personified and will get you through all the hard times pertaining to your case. I can not express my gratitude enough that he exists as a divorce attorney, for how well he handled my case.

I started the divorce process with another lawyer. I was very unhappy with his service. I was referred to John Gemelli. I am so glad that I made the change. John was excellent. Josephine was the main attorney on my case. Josephine is a star. My divorce was a long arduous process due to a business appraisal. Josephine was always extremely responsive, honest and gave me tough love when I needed it. I am very happy with the deal that we made. I’d recommend Josephine Marino, John Gemelli and the entire staff to anyone in need of divorce attorneys, you will be in great hands! Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney James Wagman to fight a speeding ticket, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, Mr. Wagman was professional, attentive, and genuinely concerned about my case. He took the time to explain the entire process to me, ensuring I was informed and comfortable every step of the way.
His expertise and knowledge of traffic law were evident, and he skillfully navigated the legal system on my behalf. Thanks to his efforts, my ticket was significantly reduced, which saved me from hefty fines and points on my license. I highly recommend Attorney James Wagman to anyone in need of legal assistance with traffic violations. His dedication and professionalism truly make him stand out.

I hired Joe and his team for a personal injury case. It was handled very professionally and with integrity. I was made aware of every step in the process and understood my options throughout the duration of the case. Joe is a fighter and always looked out for my best interest. If you want results I recommend consulting with Joe and his team. You will not be disappointed. It was the best move I made.

Rachel was an outstanding experience we had a journey, we visited almost 4 more firms before selecting her. She really took the time to show us how much added value was to have her professional experience and her approach for our case. After leaving her office we were encouraged and motivated to start with her no matter how much thorough was her approach to file the case. It turned to be a success we got all approved in 217 days. It was incredibly handled for Inmigration to have that turn around in a very complex scenario no many people promise us that successful outcome like Rachel did and boy she delivered. We are incredibly grateful for her assistance and hard work in our case we just came back from our first visit to my family overseas. All my family send you a big hug Rachel and Secia Katherine all’s her staff that helped us along the way . Big big thanks !!

We came to Haas & Zaltz upon a recommendation to get educated on estate planning. We found Ari Zaltz to very knowledgeable as well as patient and happy to explain anything we needed extra help understanding. We made a follow-up appointment and found his associate equally knowledgeable. We never felt rushed and felt confident we were getting good advice. Their staff is very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We are extremely pleased with our experience.

Words can’t express our gratitude for the great work by the entire staff at this office. Our family experienced a major crisis and reached out to this office. Rachel quickly connected me to Deatra A. who was empathetic and supportive. She worked efficiently to get the team (Miriam, Tova, Chaya, Shoshana) to provide the necessary services. We highly recommend Mr. Haas & Mr. Zaltz and their wonderful staff. This is a law office with a heart. Thank you.

**A Heartfelt Thank You to Michael Alber, Esq.**
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Michael Alber, a dedicated and compassionate lawyer, for his invaluable assistance during a challenging time in my life. Despite my financial constraints, Mr. Alber generously took the time to guide me through the intricacies of my case, explaining each step in detail and ensuring I understood the process ahead.
What truly stood out was Mr. Alber's genuine commitment to helping others. Not only did he provide me with a comprehensive plan of action, but he also went above and beyond by reaching out via text to reassure me that he is always available for further assistance. His willingness to support and his unwavering dedication to his clients are qualities that set him apart as an exceptional legal professional.
If you find yourself in need of legal guidance and support, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Michael Alber. His expertise, compassion, and accessibility make him an invaluable ally in navigating the complexities of the legal system. Thank you, Mr. Alber, for your kindness and exceptional service.

I recently made a call to Alber Sklavos, PC, to speak with my Attorney Alexander Sklavos, with regards my case that was successfully handled sometime ago, but due to some recent events, and new concerns, I needed to reach out to have some questions answered. I felt genuine relief, after receiving a call back from my attorney, and having my concerns addressed. Alexander Sklavos not only remembered me as his client, and despite some time passing since my case, which was resolved, Sklavos was able to retrieve, acknowledge, and address my questions, and concerns for my family, on a human level, in the utmost knowledgeable, and professional manner. One of the first statements I made when I called was, " I know I was your client in past, but I really need to speak with you", the response from Alexander Sklavos was " Vanessa, once a client, you are always our client, no matter how much time has passed". I can not begin to tell you, how comforted I felt with those words. I could immediately feel that my family is safe, and protected always. When dealing with my family's legal needs there's no one I could trust more. Thank you Abler Sklavos law firm for making my families needs a priority, and easing my worries.

Dmitriy was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend me in court, his calm, professionalism and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings.
If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then go to Dmitriy. I’m eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Shakhnevich without reservation.

Mr. Shakhnevich represented me in family court this past year and I cannot recommend him enough. His knowledge and professionalism was evident throughout my entire time working with him. He is very easy to communicate with, whether it’s holidays or weekends he always responds in a timely manner. He is very polite, personable and well spoken. If needed again I would definitely use his as my lawyer in the future.

It is very rare that you meet a stranger who immediately becomes someone you can depend on to have your best interests at heart. Chris was that "stranger"; no matter how many times I contacted him with which were probably selling jitters, he took the time to answer me and reassure me that I was not bothering him, and that my questions were legit. I sincerely appreciated working with him and his staff and recommend them without reservation!

This is the first time I’ve dealt with the McBride Law Group and it was through a referral from my realtor. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised and somewhat relieved at how easy it was dealing with Corinne, particularly given that, as a non-New Yorker, I was fearful of a more New York, ivory-tower style attorney. I’m grateful to Corinne for the high level of her service and “value for the fee”!
