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.

Wow Matthew is quick, hardworking, and honest. I had gotten a ticket two years ago that still had not been resolved, I called him and it took a couple of days for him to dismiss everything and honestly speaking my situation was not good, but still he pulled through and saved me. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I really recommend him and will be using him in the future .

If anyone knows what it's like to need a lawyer on a weekend or weeknight, I found myself in that situation in 2010. After Googling attorneys, I went through the list and Mr. Swedick was the only one that answered the phone. He took care of the situation quickly. I was very impressed, and he has been my attorney now for over ten years. He works hard for his clients and his communication is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any friend, family member or any stranger for that matter.

If your looking for a lawyer that COMMUNICATES top notch, say/night any hours. This is your guy! Exceptionally professional, yet treats you as a person as well not just a client. Matt is not only a fantastic lawyer but a great person. I’m business you want the best but not ever do you find a great person behind it. He will get you the outcome you deserve hands down. He will work HARD. And always on top of everything, never missed a court date. He was referred to two other people and both those people changed their entire life with his help. He kept a father home to see his daughter deliver her baby. He knows the law and how valuable life is. Your in the best hands.

I have used attorney Greg Teresi numerous times for legal matters. Most recently in a personal injury case which I had a very positive outcome in my favor.
I hired Greg because he is knowledgeable straight forward with his advice on legal matters. He makes it simple to understand and explains it in detail.
I have the utmost confidence in Greg will represent me in a professional and competent way which I feel gives me an advantage.
He is always available for questions I have through email and phone calls.
I definitely recommend Greg for any and all legal matters.

Di just helped me and my group close a real estate transaction, and let me tell you, Di is the real deal. She was able to answer all of our questions with ease, was always on time, and had no problem explaining herself until we fully understood what was going on. She fought for us on several occasions and is always on top of our legal matters as if they were her own. She is very diligent, and nothing slips past her. I highly recommend Di for any real estate transaction in the Capital Region. My group and I are going to be Di's clients for LIFE. Thank you so much, Di, for all your help!!!!

JulieAnn has done two things for us (so far). First, she helped decipher some trust documents that had us baffled when we needed to make a quick decision. She was patient and thorough and a big help there. Second, she helped us prepare our estate planning docs, a task which we had been putting off for years. Those were relatively straightforward, but she did a nice job making sure we understood our choices and helping us finally get that done.

Putting together one's estate planning documents has potential to be stressful. It requires one to make important, sometimes difficult, decisions and to think about "what ifs" you don't want to think about. It is hard to overstate how important it is to have sound professional advice - clearly stated, and how a friendly, supportive atmosphere can ease the anxiety and facilitate the process. Julie and her staff provided all that and more. We were able to complete the forms efficiently which kept the cost reasonable as well. I am very pleased.

I first met Julianne at a workshop where she was talking to the group about estate planning and how to help your loved ones handle their finances, etc., in their elder years. When it came time to settle my father's estate, years later, she was the first one I thought of and she made the difficult process as seamless as it could have been. So, of course, when it was time to get all of my affairs in order, she is the first person I thought of. I highly recommend her.

It is impossible to put into words the impact that Barrett and his team have had on my life. My brother contacted Barrett when I was in need of legal assistance. The fracture in my 28 year marriage was overwhelming and became quite tumultuous. Barrett and Joe provided support and guidance through a very difficult period of time while I relocated and regained my footing. My decision to ultimately file for divorce was made more difficult, due to my chronic illness and the lifelong care and supports that I will require. Barrett and Joe guided me through every step and addressed every single question and concern that I had. I cannot say enough about just how thorough and prepared my case was. Barrett stood up and fought for me during pretrial conference and obtained a settlement that more than secured my future. I am forever grateful.

My wife informed me of her desire to get a divorce in early June 2023. I was presented with the initial communication from my wife’s attorney on June 21, 2023. I met with Barrett Mack, of Mack and associates for an initial consultation . As it turns out this was the best decision I could have made in this situation.
Barret, and his associate attorney; Katie Pompey, and Sarah Keefer; a paralegal, made up the team that handled my case.
They worked tirelessly on the case, keeping in constant communication with my wife’s attorney. They also kept me constantly updated on the status of negotiating.
Everyone in the office is pleasant, professional, dedicated, and incredibly supportive. Together they made a very difficult experience bearable.
They worked together seamlessly to get the best outcome for me and my children.
On march 14, 2024 a final marital separation and settlement agreement was signed. I have 50/50 joint legal custody of my children and all other differences have been settled in a more than satisfactory way.
Im convinced that if I had not retained the services of Barret Mack I would be in a very different situation.
If it were possible to give six stars I would do so. I will be forever indebted to Barret Mack’s Law firm.

I had a worker's comp case that was a stress case, I had a few WC lawyers tell me they don't take stress cases because they are too difficult to win. Then I was referred to Sarah. Knowing the case was no "slam dunk" she was willing to take on the case and ended up winning and at the same time becoming a friend to my wife and I.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding legal representation provided by Sarah Bahia from Klee Woolf Goldman & Filpi LLP attorneys. Sarah's dedication, expertise, and unwavering support made a profound impact on my life during a challenging time.
I broke my back while working as a racehorse exercise rider at Saratoga Racecourse in 2021, and Sarah was not just my lawyer; she became a true friend and advocate. Her fierce determination and tireless efforts in fighting for my rights and securing compensation and partial disability benefits were nothing short of remarkable.
Sarah's professionalism, compassion, and commitment to my case went above and beyond any expectations I had. She not only navigated the legal complexities with skill and precision but also provided the emotional support that I much needed throughout the process.
I am forever grateful to Sarah for her exceptional legal representation and the genuine care she showed me. If you're in need of an attorney who is not only brilliant in her field but also a remarkable person, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Bahia. She is a true asset to Klee Woolf Goldman & Filpi LLP, and I consider myself fortunate to have had her by my side.

Called Atty Joshi around 8:30am on a Mon morning, found he was preparing for Court. He still took my call, listened intently on everything I had to say about my matter, and gave me advice what to do going forward. Very personable and I appreciate the time he took to give me free legal advice.

My journey was a very long one to say the least. However, working with Rakesh allowed me time to see the light at the end of my darkest tunnel. I’ll plea the 5th with the details but imagine doing a 5k run towards the trooper fund and loosing over 14lbs of weight in the process. It was the most expensive workout plan ever lol (I can find the humor at my own expense now that it’s over). The odds were not in my favor at the start line but with Rakesh’s support I was able to finish the race breathing freely. He advised me in the right direction, remained blunt with the facts, and reassured me to the end. To my disbelief he was able to work out every one of my “multiple misunderstandings” and if it wasn’t for his credible knowledge of the law and court processes, this may not have been otherwise possible. Although we had our moments, at the end of it all I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and time devoted to my case and for ultimately keeping my reputation intact! I highly recommend his services to anyone who’s found themselves under deep water! Rakesh, I sincerely appreciate everything you’ve done to improve my future potential! I can finally move forward with my life at ease! You are my hero! I hope to see you in the sunshine!

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 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. Simone is honest, straight forward and will never give you a guarantee on a deal to the nature of law and the unpredictability. He’s well versed in the law of DWI. His team is very customer service oriented and this law firm felt like home to me and provided above and beyond service to me and fully thankful for the referral itself! Appreciate the above and beyond reproach to their business model. Always thankful for what he did for me!

Matthew Simone was a life saver for me! He got my DWI and refusal to submit a breathalyzer down to an open container where I only paid a fine, completed an alcohol evaluation, and a short course for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). My arrest record, finger prints and mug shot were sealed and my license was not suspended for a year for refusing the breathalyzer. I also can travel freely back and forth to Canada where my girlfriend lives because of Matt. I was stopped at a checkpoint, only conducted one field sobriety test, did not conduct a breathalyzer test, and was respectful and cooperative with the police. If you were swerving in and out of lanes, stumble out of your car, blow over a .08, and are rude to the police there is only so much that can be done. However, Matt will still fight for you to get you what you want. Remember to set proper expectations and know that a majority of how your case is going to play out depends on your behavior that night. Matt’s communication was also great! If I had any questions or concerns about the legal process he would answer them swiftly and take the time to ensure I understood what was happening. His legal assistant Joselyn was also spectacular! She would get back to me in a timely manner as well and always sent me what I needed, even if I asked twice and forgot that I already had what I needed. 10/10 would recommend! Hopefully we won’t cross paths again, but if we do it feels good knowing Matt is on your legal team!

10 years ago i saw mr. mihuta in rensselaer county court and he was the only lawyer that argued with the judge for his client. other attorneys i witnessed agreeing with the da. Mr. Mituta wouldnt take anything less then the best for his client. i was impressed then and started to retain him. I have used lucas over the last 10 plus years for various criminal court proceedings, to surrogates and most recently my personal injury case which went to trial. During trial i was so impressed with his knowledge of medical that i asked him if he had a medical degree as well. he actually had the doctors re think what they were saying and his style had the jury do anything BUT fall asleep. even the judge said he was looking forward to lucas keeping him awake. he was so impressive with his closing arguments he had me crying and moved the jury to a favorable outcome. Hes friendly, impressively knowledgable, understanding and most of all not judgemental in anyway. lucas generally cares for his clients and will work hard to make sure he gets the bests results for you. stop looking for attorneys. i swear you hit jackpot with mr. mihuta, your in good hands and worth every penny.

Lucas helped me at a time in my life in which I found myself in a precarious situation filled with stress and worry. I had never been through this process and I thought the results were dire and would affect my life moving forward. Right from the very start he was honest, compassionate and incredibly insightful as it relates to every particular step moving forward. Most importantly his level of communication was stellar. I knew from the start that Lucas was the very best person I could have had acting as an advocate. In the end I was absolutely stunned by the results. Exceeded even my wildest expectations. The guy saved me on something where I thought I was doomed. I cannot recommend Lucas Mihuta enough. His counsel was tremendous and I couldn't l have been luckier I had him as my attorney.

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.

Mr. D'Arrigo was immensely helpful with the process of getting our I-485 application approved. The case was very complex and had been ongoing for several years. Mr. D'Arrigo had the local contacts in order to determine what was missing from the case and what we could do from our end to get it approved asap. He also was very patient in all of our inquiries and took the time to meet with us. Would recommend!

Leonard D'Arrigo (LJ) is one the finest immigration attorney out there. He handled my employment based immigration. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, timely replies and excellent co-ordination. His knowledge of all aspects of Immigration is hard to find. My case was a bit complicated but LJ's expertise made it look easy. All the steps of my EB immigration starting from H1B visa to Green Card were handled by LJ without any issues and made my legal immigration into the USA a joy rather than a hassle.
Thank you LJ.
My advice to anyone looking for a good attorney, just stop looking and call LJ.

Unfortunately, I had EEOC issues that I could not resolve with my employer.
After several weeks of searching for a law firm with the knowledge, ability and resources to take on an EEOC case against a large agency, I heard about Tully Rinckey, PLLC.,
Allen Shoikhetbrod, my attorney at Tully Rinckey, is phenomenal. Allen is extremely knowledgeable about EEOC and government agency issues. Experienced, honest, professional,
detail-oriented, empathetic and warrior are words I would use to describe him.
Tully Rinckey is a professional law firm that cares about the individual, not just the numbers.
There were no surprise or hidden fees, phone calls and emails were promptly answered.
The legal representation and advice provided during my case was well worth the cost.
I would definitely recommend Tully Rinckey to family and friends.

I was close to receiving a probationary dismissal from a supervisor with negative re-hire codes as a reprisal for an EEO complaint. Although his behavior was unlawful, I had next to no options and was repeatedly harassed by the legal office to sign a vague resignation contract with an NDA clause that I was not comfortable with. I was referred to Mr. Allen Shoikhetbrod by a friend (who is also an attorney but unable to take the case). Allen immediately took action by contacting the legal office and rewriting the resignation contract to be completely in my favor. I never felt pressured and knew the firm had my best interests at heart. My family and I received the outcome we needed/desired in a period of two weeks! I could not be happier. Thank you!

Terry represented us for an accident my husband was involved in . He was very professional and caring and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him as an attorney. Terry and his staff treat you like family and make the whole process smooth and non stressful. You develop a few good friends in the process. We were very happy with the whole process and the end results.

I hired The Wagoner Firm to represent me in a dispute with my business partner. Without even going to court, Matt and the team advocated aggressively for me and negotiated a settlement that got me exactly what I was after and what I was owed. They were on top of things, kept me updated, were always available to answer my questions and didn't back down when things got tough. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for strong legal counsel.

I connected with Matt at the Wagoner Firm and he was quick to respond, helpful, and easy to talk to. He helped me justify my issues at work and reached a settlement with the opposing party without filing a lawsuit within just a few short months. I highly recommend this firm. If I am ever in need of legal advise again I know where to go.

I contacted Matt at The Wagoner Firm after my employer failed to hold my position while I was away serving on Active Duty. Matt was very receptive to the situation and got to work both quickly, and efficiently. Without filing any lawsuit, we quickly achieved a settlement that made me feel like justice was served. Matt was very professional, made things super easy, and was very dedicated to my case. By far the best lawyer I've worked with, and I definitely recommend him to anyone!

My son got in a bit of legal trouble that could have resulted in some jail time. Jim told us our options, responded timely to court requests and prepared thoroughly for trial. He thought of things that the court didn’t. The outcome was amazing. Jim is smart, friendly and kind but definitely gets the job done!

I consulted with Jim and found him to be a very genuine, helpful, and friendly attorney. He was also very honest in suggesting another attorney who would be better suited to my case because it was in the financial regulation arena.

I've had to use attorneys for multiple things over the years, and I remember being really surprised at the 5 star review for ANY firm, but now that I'm an immigration client, I absolutely get it! I had considered (and even retained) over 10 attorneys in the past 5 years for both personal and business matters, and my experience working specifically with Brendan Venter, a Partner in the Immigration practice, has been simply outstanding. He is the most honest, transparent, and responsive attorney I've ever met. I understand that law around marriage-based / family immigration is actually quite complex, and we immediately felt confident that we were in the right hands with Brendan, and he has not disappointed. You hear horror stories out there, and sadly most are justified. Brendan, and by extension H-B for being smart enough to make him the partner of this practice, have restored my faith in the craft... at least with them! Eternally grateful for his counsel.

Jerry is excellent. He knows the law and is very compassionate. He worked hard to attain the best result he could attain for me while ensuring that I fully understood the cost versus benefit of every step we took in my case. Jerry's experience and knowledge as a CPA was a huge benefit to me in my case. Terrific lawyer and great guy. I would definitely use Jerry again (but I hope never to need him as a divorce is tough). If you need a divorce lawyer then call Jerry. He is as good as they get!

I have worked in the insurance business for many years and experienced working with a multitude of attorneys. But, on a matter relating to my family, I've had the extreme pleasure of working with Jason Shaw for the preceding 2 years. Mr. Shaw's level of knowledge, professionalism and proficiency is only surpassed by his level of ethics, warmth and real personal interaction with his clients. His demeanor in the professional setting is of the highest level, yet his mannerism in his interactions with his clients is one of caring, concern, sincere counsel and just plain wonderful humanity. I cannot say enough about this excellent example of what a genuine legal counselor really is. It has been a wonderful experience to work with a real counselor, in every sense of the word.

Jason represented our group which opposed a proposed industrial scale gravel mine in our residential neighborhood. Mining was allowed with a special use permit. This required extensive review of many documents, familiarity with zoning and mining law, and attendance at Planning Board and Town Board meetings. Jason spoke extemporaneously at these meetings and cogently put forward our position. His expertise was instrumental in convincing the town board to establish a moratorium on new mining applications which led to the town revising its zoning to prohibit new mines in the residential areas of town.

I had a fire loss. Jason represented me with my mortgage holder and my insurance companies. When all is said and done, his expertise caused me to recover $1M over and above what I was originally offered. I highly recommend Jason Shaw and WOH.
