Joseph represented my nephew Ronnie recently and was extremely dedicated and professional. His presented the case with such care and precision, the jury only needed 30 mins to find my nephew not guilty and this was after a hung jury in a previous trial. I would recommend him to represent anyone seeking justice and truth.

Adam is one of those rare lawyers that instills immediate confidence in even a chaotic situation, usually as he's giving you exactly the right advice on how to bring it back under control. Sharp as a tack, extremely knowledgable in his domain, and a pleasure to talk to, Adam is an honest broker and a relationship-centered entertainment lawyer who is able to quickly grasp your individual situation and provide guidance in the context of your entire business. As a production company owner, nothing is more important than an attourney who understands the intricately interlocking parts of your business: talent contracts, MSA's with brands, negotiations with agencies, insurance, industry reputation, IP Law, etc. etc. etc. but I have always found Adam to understand each of these subjects in the context of the others. He contracts quickly, bills fairly, and is easy to reach almost immediately. I have worked with quite a few lawyers in my time, but Adam stands head and shoulders above them. I give the strongest possible recommendation.

James Knox took the time out of his busy day twice to speak with me about two cases, free of charge. After getting 2 letters from the JC, I was on the verge of a meltdown. Mr. Knox spoke with me about what to expect and how I could prepare myself for an investigation subsequent OP license issues if the cases were substantiated. He is definitely a friend of healthcare workers and I highly recommend contacting him if a fellow nurse has a JC case open.

19 Jun, 2024 by Judy

Five stars - why? Because they communicate with you - they do not leave you questioning and wondering what is happening with your case. The law firm of Steve Foley has been kind and understanding since the first day I contacted them! Yes, my case is still ongoing - but they did not get in a rush and took time to fully understand the injuries sustained and the impact the accident had on my life. They are a wonderful firm, they have understanding and professional staff, and I gladly give them a five star rating! Miss Judy Wroda

Having the help of this law firm certainly helped to take the stress off of me to deal with the horrible car insurance. They tried to pay pennies when their client struck my car while I was in it. Steve Foley Law Firm fought hard for me. They always made sure I was aware of what was being done and they explained clearly everything including my options. Any questions I had they made themselves available to answer and put my mind at ease. I would recommend their services.

Elan made the difficult task of planning & understanding estate planning a smooth and comforting experience. No one likes to think of their demise but it's a necessary step in securing the future for our families. From the in home consultation, all the email exchanges with my questions, to the final document signing, the staff has always been extremely helpful and pleasant. I would not hesitate for one minute recommending their services to all our family and friends.

I retained the services of Andrew Meaney from Meaney Law to coordinate the closing for my parents’ house which was also my childhood home. Andrew is professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. Andrew’s attention to detail, friendly disposition and calm demeanor was an asset during this very emotional process. He explained complex legal issues regarding the closing in clear and simple terms. In addition, Andrew was very responsive to my questions and concerns. He always got back to me in a timely manner via text, phone or email. As a result of Andrew’s efficiency, the closing on my parents’ house was a smooth and fast transaction. In summary, Andrew Meaney was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Meaney Law for your real estate needs!

highly recommended. I have been included in a number of class action lawsuits with Leeds. First thing- they have an lovely secretary who picks up the phone right away. In an age of tapping on numbers to get to different deptartments, this just makes life easier. I have been in touch with Dave Mayo a number of times who answered all my questions thoroughly as if he had all the time in the world. If you want boutique service, I highly recimmend Leeds!!!

I’m a tough grader so I don’t hand out 5 stars regularly. However, Mr. Prisco has been very attentive and helpful every step of the way. He’s committed to giving an excellent representation of your case, he will always get back to your questions, comments and concerns on the fly. A friend of mine referred MJP Law to me and now, I’m referring it to you. Thanks again Mr. Prisco for all your help!! I would rate ten stars if I could, it’s also worth mentioning that he will still answer even after the case has been closed, that’s amazing work ethics. 10/10

When contacting the office someone will always answer the phone or Michael directly, I can only say Thank you so much for all the help and guidance. But most importantly for being professional and kind. That’s something that a client always wants professionalism and someone who is kind and nice. Thank you again so much for all your help

You need someone knowledgeable in this area and she certainly was. She knew the ins and outs. Julie was always accessible, she was extremely knowledgeable, she was caring, and most importantly she established a very good rapport with my son. She saw him through a very hard time and he trusted her implicitly.

I'm from Philly when I caught my case,didn't know what to do.I talked to 5,6 lawyers in that area after talking to them all .I picked John for a couple of reasons I felt he was honest, reasonable and he wasnt telling me just what I wanted to hear(which is very important When hiring a lawyer)What a great choice it was.After talking to him he told me the pros and cons of the case.Told me what I was looking at.What he was going to try to do.what to expect ,what choices I have.What more could you ask.Exspecially knowing I was guilty.When he got in the courtroom he was a beast and got me a great deal.He really went to bat for me and it couldn't have turned out better. Beleave when I tell you it could of turned out a whole lot worse. THANK YOU JOHN If you or someone you know needs a lawyer,you couldn't do any better (HE IS A EXCELLENT LAWYER) 5 STAR,A1.Hopefully I never need a lawyer again if I did I would pick him never look back.Hes Honest,reasonable has integrity, will fight to get the very best outcome he could get what ever the circumstances are .I never take the time to write reviews I feel he deserves it.I was looking at alot now I'm not.Im home able to write this from home.Thank you John for all you did.I mean that from the heart.

I had no prior experience with criminal defense lawyers and no knowledge of the DUI process and was just unbelievably fortunate to find Attorney Raimondo. John thoroughly understood my case and addressed my concerns about the process. He was always available and was extremely knowledgeable about all the intricacies of the Westchester legal system. His professionalism is well known, which allows him to be an excellent advocate on your behalf. I could not have found a better attorney, and I am very thankful and appreciative for the outcome that he was able to negotiate for me.

Steve did a great job on all of our estate planning documents. He was easy to work with and made us comfortable throughout some difficult discussion topics. He also added value by making suggestions for issues we likely would not even have been aware of.

29 May, 2024 by Anne

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Steven Fleischer regarding Medicaid planning for my mother. Our situation has been difficult, omplex, and at times contentious. Speaking with Mr. Fleischer brought much-needed insight, reassurance and knowledge to a tough situation. Although we ultimately decided to go with an attorney who we know through a family acquaintance, I felt compelled to share my exceptional experience with Mr. Fleischer. From the moment we spoke on the phone, it was clear that Mr. Fleischer was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and compassionate. He took the time to thoroughly understand our situation, review our documents and circumstances in detail, and provided us with comprehensive, easy-to-understand advice that made a daunting process feel manageable. What truly stood out was Mr. Fleischer's genuine concern for our best interests and the best interests of our mother. He patiently answered all of our questions, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His thorough knowledge and extensive expertise in elder law was evident, and his guidance was invaluable. Even though we chose to go with someone we knew personally, I have no doubt that Mr. Fleischer would have been an outstanding advocate for us. He embodies everything you could hope for in an elder attorney: professionalism, empathy, and a dedication to his clients' well-being. I would highly recommend Mr. Fleischer to anyone in need of elder law services. Thank you Mr. Fleischer for your time and exceptional help.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Natalie Rios as an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. As someone who has personally experienced her exceptional service, I can confidently say that the Law Office of Natalie Rios PLLC is a beacon of professionalism in the field of criminal defense law. From our very first interaction, Natalie Rios was incredibly organized, methodical and responsive. She understood the urgency and stress of my situation, and made sure to return my calls, emails and text messages promptly. This level of responsiveness provided me with much-needed reassurance during a challenging time. While outcomes cannot be determined nor guaranteed in advance, Natalie took every measure possible to defend and support me in the court of law. Natalie's approach to legal defense is not just well-structured, but was evidently tailored to the unique circumstances of my case. I was seen; I was heard. No templated approach to legal defense. She was meticulous in asking the right questions, gathering evidence and building a defense strategy for me, demonstrating a level of thoroughness that was truly impressive. Best of all, she proactively kept me updated! In addition, Natalie's genuine courtesy and empathy were an unexpected bonus. She treated me with utmost respect, taking the time to explain complex legal terms in a way that I could understand. Her professional demeanor never overshadowed her human touch, and it was this balance that made me feel supported throughout the process. I cant thank Ms Rios enough. Thanks to her hard work, connections, solid strategy and attention to details, my case closed with the positive outcome I was seeking: a win! If you find yourself being represented by Natalie Rios, know that her dedication to her clients goes beyond just the professional commitment for the case—it's her personal mission to help people via her field. I strongly recommend Natalie Rios as a criminal defense lawyer.

Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.

A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

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.
