Jonathan was so helpful to me with advice regarding SBA loan questions. I was very concerned about a few issues and he spent time with me patiently going over facts. I can't endorse him strongly enough. Thanks, Jonathan!

Jonathan Werner has been awesome. He is handling my brother's bankruptcy case and everything has been going very smoothly. I emailed him one week and I didn't realize he was on vacation. He emailed me right back. I would highly recommend his firm. His secretary Alice is wonderful and very helpful. Unfortunately, my brother has developed health issues that may not allow him to go back to work. Jonathan's brother handles social security disability cases. He will be the one I would have handle that case. I have complete confidence in this firm. I would highly recommend them.

When faced with the daunting challenge of a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge, having the right legal representation can make all the difference. I’m beyond grateful to have had Matt Simone by my side throughout this journey. His exceptional legal acumen and compassionate approach transformed what could have been a deeply stressful experience into a manageable and ultimately favorable outcome.
My situation was complicated by the fact that I reside in Connecticut, while the offense occurred in Saratoga Springs, New York. This geographic distance added a layer of complexity to an already intricate legal process. From the moment I reached out to Matt Simone, it was clear that his expertise was exactly what I needed. He demonstrated a profound understanding of both New York and Connecticut laws, which was crucial in addressing the unique challenges posed by my case.
Matt’s took the time to thoroughly explain the charges, the legal ramifications, and the potential outcomes. His deep knowledge of DUI defense law, coupled with his experience in handling cases in New York, ensured that I was well-informed and prepared for every step of the process.
Matt’s willingness to hold my hand through every step was a testament to his dedication. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide updates on the case’s progress. His accessibility was a lifeline, especially given the distance between my home and the court proceedings.
The ultimate measure of a lawyer’s effectiveness is the outcome they achieve for their clients. In my case, Matt secured an ideal resolution to my DWAI charge. Thanks to his meticulous preparation and strategic advocacy, the outcome was far better than I could have hoped for. Matt’s adept negotiation skills and thorough understanding of the legal system played a crucial role in reaching this favorable conclusion.
What truly sets Matt Simone apart from other lawyers is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication, often going above and beyond what is typically expected. Whether it was coordinating with local New York authorities on my behalf or ensuring that I fully understood every aspect of the process, Matt’s efforts were nothing short of extraordinary.
In addition to his professional excellence, Matt is a person of remarkable integrity. His honest and straightforward approach was refreshing, and I felt confident that he had my best interests at heart throughout the entire legal process. This trust was critical in a situation where every decision and action had significant implications.
If you find yourself in need of a DUI defense lawyer, Matt Simone is the person you want by your side. His combination of legal expertise, personal dedication, and compassionate support make him an exceptional advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch DUI defense lawyer. Thank you, Matt, for your unwavering support and for achieving such an outstanding outcome on my behalf.

Mr. Gerstenzang is the best at what he does. His extensive knowledge of the law added comfort to my legal journey. Mr. Gerstenzang exhuberated confidence with class throughout the legal process in and out of court. Every bit of his advice was spot on accurate and pertinent to the outstanding disposition I received from the court. Mr Gerstenzang provided an abundance of time to make case options clear, discussed legal strategies, shared exactly how the processes would unfold from beginning to end and did so with accuracy.
Without reservation, I highly recommend Mr. Gerstenzang for any criminal legal matters. I am confident he will provide nothing short of his absolute best.

Joe Gerstenzang was the best decision I could have made for myself regarding my legal trouble. He is forthright, accountable, proficient, communicative, and creative with his interpretation of the law.
I had a second DWI approximately one year after my first, and was looking down the barrel of some harsh and seemingly endless penalties. Joe made me feel extremely confident and well represented throughout the process and in the courtroom. And he was able to achieve the results I was hoping for.
My first impression was that Joe was realistic and honest with me. We went over my case, which had been delayed for 10+ months due to covid court closures. Joe was honest with me about how he thought my case looked, and we made decisions from there. The decisions we made felt collaborative and I always felt like my voice was heard, and my story was understood.
Proceeding from there, Joe was able to negotiate a deal that I found extremely generous.
One thing that really stood out to me:
Due to covid court closures where I live, I was not able to drive for a very long time, as my case had remained stagnant while my license revocation remained in place. By the time the courts opened back up, I was not set to get my license back for a long time. The court did not want to recognize this closure time as time served of any suspension. This is where Joe got creative.
I don't exactly know how he did it, but Joe was able to get creative with his interpretation of law. He got me on the road again. Had I hired a lesser lawyer, I may have been Uber-bound for another 6-12 months.
Joe was always in communication with me, always willing to talk on the phone. He took things seriously. This told me that he understood how serious these matters were for me. Even as my case seemed like it was set to wrap itself up, Joe was in contact about little small details that I would have not thought about.
I cannot recommend Mr. Gerstenzang enough.
I have known people who have hired lesser lawyers for DWIs in NY, most likely to save a bit of money, and I've heard horror stories. Whatever amount you save on a cheap lawyer, you will end up paying more in the long run, both with your wallet, time, and your peace of mind.
It's worth it. Thank you Joe.

Joe helped me with a case that could have been life changing in the worst way. He is very professional, knowledgeable, personable and went way beyond the call of duty for me. I felt like I finally had someone in my corner when I felt isolated and it seemed like most of the known world was out to get me. Joe quickly became a lone torch holder showing me the way to safety when my world became very dark and scary. I can’t recommend him highly enough when you unexpectedly need to navigate your way through the often confusing legal system and are out of your element with possibly your freedom and reputation on the line. I, like many, have made some questionable decisions before in my life but trusting Joe was definitely the best decision I have made and worth every penny! Thank you joe, from me and my family. Thanks to you we avoided what could have been a much darker future.

I had a consultation with this attorney and then chose to retain her. She discussed all of the things she would do during the consultation and those things unfortunately never happened. I was transparent in the consultation that this was a complex custody case. When she entered an Order to Show Cause for my case, it was terrible. I have shown that to attorneys and all of them asked where the rest of it was and stated it wasn't entered properly either. This attorney was 40 minutes late to my hearing and unprepared. When the Judge asked her questions about my case, she looked at me and told me to answer the Judge. I could have done a better job representing myself. I do not recommend her for any custody cases. She sent me invoices where she double billed me for the same service on two different occasions amounting to approximately $1100. She sent me invoices with someone else's address on them. It took about a month for me to get refunded the rest of my retainer. Hiring her was a terrible experience and I am confused by the good reviews. When I retained another attorney to represent my case, he told me that people can pay for good reviews, and he has had cases against this attorney, and she was consistently late and unprepared. If you are looking for representation for a complex custody case, please find another attorney for you and your family. If you look at her account on Avvo, there are five star reviews being entered every two days. I was told that is a site you can pay for good reviews to be posted. I would pay attention to the lower rated comments and reviews for her on lawyers.com. They seem to describe her well. I wish I had seen those before I retained her.
I am editing this so I can respond to JoAnn's response. I spoke in detail to her about my previous attorney in which JoAnn stated I needed to retain her to further eliminate more damage being done by my previous attorney. I did retain JoAnn and never thought I would have ended up in a more damaging position. There is nothing pending on the Court calendar for my case because the attorney I retained after her did their job, was prepared, and on time; the case has been resolved with my new attorney. JoAnn was also out of town excessively, took several weeks to file an Order to Show Cause which was created terribly, consistently missed phone calls from the opposing attorney, and rarely responded to me. I also don't recall her giving me any advice about my case once she was retained; she was only my attorney for one appearance when she was 40 minutes late, unprepared, and didn't know any details of my case. I wish she had responded to me as quickly as she did to my review when she was my attorney. I also wish she put that effort into my case when representing me like she did in her response to my review. I would highly recommend anyone want to retain this attorney for a complex custody case look elsewhere, and at the very least, complete several consultations with attorneys to make sure you find the correct fit for your family and your case.

I called Sarah Gold's law firm to ask about forming a LLC in New York. I did some research prior to my call but was confused as heck and was not confident in dealing with the state. Ms. Gold walked me through the process, answered my questions, and told me her fee. I thought the fee was competitive, keeping in mind it included state fees and public notice fees. We communicated online, she had to search to see if my LLC name was not prohibited or duplicative. I also asked for her to set up a DBA and she did that. It was so obvious that she new what she was doing, a true expert professional . She did all the filing, advertising and DBA in a day and I had what I legally needed hours later. she emailed me copies of the application filing, receipts and most important my official LLC. I would use Sarah Gold without any hesitation and I highly recommend you do too.

In my opinion, no other lawyer could have done what Jo Ann did for me. I briefed Jo Ann on my expectations and goals during our first meeting. She explained my rights and the law in terms I could grasp. Money and legal bills were major concerns of mine.

Julie Nociolo helped us navigate our son’s false Title IX accusation. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing these allegations. 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.

Good dude. I’ve never met somebody with so much integrity. However, that does make it complicated for him as a lawyer. I do believe he has legal talent. He just needs to fight for his clients more. But one of the best people I’ve ever ever met in my life. I fired him and got the results I wanted, but he is a wonderful attorney and an absolute sweetheart

After having spoken with four other DWI attorneys in the Albany region I was recommended to Gerstenzang law firm.
Joe Gerstenzang was the only attorney I spoke with that after listening to our situation, and needs, clearly presented a well thought out strategy that no one else thought of.
Joe Gerstanzang delivered on every strategic position he discussed, and got my daughter across the finish line with the best results ever, and exactly the way he described from Day 1.
Joe’s guidance throughout this ordeal for our family was excellent.
I will always make myself available to be a reference in every way.

Great consultation. Jonathan was very knowledgeable in what I needed help with and made me feel at ease. I spoke with several firms in that area and this firm was one of the 4 that I found to top my list. Before retaining the firm, called in and asked if I could break my payments into 2 payments (before the hearing) and was told NO, they absolutely don't do that which I can understand everyone has their policies but I need to know I am not just a dollar $ign and the firm I choose sees me as a person. I went with a different option.

Had a question related to a real estate purchase. Thought it was going to be lengthy and cost some money. Michael answered the questions/ concerns over a quick call. At the end he wished me luck and said not to worry and said there was no charge. Don't come across that much these days. I would certainly use him on future matters.

Saeed’s dedication was evident in the way he completely backed my case and promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had. His responsiveness and expertise made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I would absolutely trust him again and recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation.

Great Law Firm! I was leary at first and ended up reading the reviews and was judging the law firm based off other people's reviews and exprience but got the total opposite services. Maybe it's particular attorneys but A. Jazembak was assigned to me. Mr. Jazembak has great communication and wants to know precisely information to accurately get the results his clients want.
Honestly, if you want a good defense, be ready to have everything documented and ready to present to them EVERYTHING. They aren't mind readers so I think the negatives reviews came from clients thinking that they had to only give the basic information and assumed because it's a law firm they had the ability to make a good case on basic information. If you're putting in effort, they will 100% fight for there clients. The paralegal has excellent communication C. Barrett and the account keeps track of all funds and send an itemized bill accurately H. Myers. Give them a try, ypu wont be disappointed!!

Timothy is great at what he does. He helped me amend an old tax return that incorrectly had me owing an absurd amount in taxes. Once he amended and refiled it, the state of NY accepted the amendment, and my owed tax debt was gone! It was such a relief, and I'm really glad I employed Timothy to help me with this error I had been sitting on for a few years.

Tim, thank you so much helping our family from the years of stress and worries. Our CPA was not helpful when facing an issue with the IRS and we're so glad that we found Tim. Tim is professional, cordial, and most importantly, direct and honest about expectations and process. He made this seemingly convoluted journey very clear and we appreciate him being there through each step. He significantly lowered our bill and we can't thank him enough for helping us through this difficult and very stressful time. Once IRS accepted our offer, Tim followed up with us multiple times to make sure that we are on track and squared away with setting up, filling out forms, and more. Thank you Tim, you've brought stability and relief to this family!

I made the mistake of hiring J. Monagan for my contested divorce almost 2 years ago. She withheld information from the court and judge that showed my spouse was hiding money and moving it during the two years that she represented me. I was married for over 33 years and received $0 in sposal support.The only thing that this lawyer seemed to be good at was billing me over $50,000 for basically reading my emails.

We have used Randall on a few occasions over the course of 5 years for speeding tickets for teenage drivers. Randall allows us to handle over the phone or via email, allowing us to have a "paper trail" of all of our conversations. Randall has handled multiple incidents and we've also referred him to others that have used him as well. His handling fee is due up front and is very reasonable. He sends us copies of all communications he sends out, and then gets back to us with the plea deals and handles them in court without us ever having to even step foot in a court room. Randall is a name we remember by heart when referring him and while we hope to never need him again, should we need a traffic lawyer, Randall is our guy!

When no other attorney believed me and I felt all hope was lost... I found Kevin! Not only did he 100% successfully defend the false allegations against me, he actually cares about you as a person. The courts respect him and his ability as a defense attorney speaks for itself. I highly recommend this law firm!

My experience with Di Ma during a real estate transaction was deeply disappointing. Despite knowing that the buyer had not paid the $50,000 earnest money deposit, Di advised my spouse and me to proceed with notarizing and shipping a deed and to continue preparing for the closing. This advice led us to spend unnecessary time and money, which we now realize could have been avoided. On October 3, 2024, Di assured us in writing that she would reimburse us for these expenses, but she ultimately failed to follow through and completely stopped responding to us.
Our new attorney also raised concerns about much of the legal advice Di gave, including her instructions on how to handle a “time is of the essence” letter and her misleading comments about the impact of using an out-of-state ID at the notary on our taxes. Based on these issues, we felt that her advice was incorrect and not in our best interest.
Additionally, I found Di to lack professionalism throughout the transaction. She appeared overly emotional and unfocused at times when I expected calm, steady guidance during such a challenging situation. The real estate field requires lawyers to help navigate their clients through stressful situations with composure, and unfortunately, Di did not meet those expectations for us.
While this was my personal experience, I would advise others to carefully consider whether they feel fully confident in the advice and professionalism of any attorney they choose to work with.
