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.

Jo Ann is not like the lawyer I used in the past. She tells it like it is and is truthful about your unique circumstance. Her keen awareness of the ins and outs of the family court system is an essential quality in a lawyer, and she possesses it admirably.

The child custody and support case that Jo Ann handled for me was first-rate. I did not have to deal with the additional stresses. Outside of the courtroom as well, her demeanor is quite professional. I was able to avoid a trial and get the result I sought because of her experience.

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.

Martin was referred to me by my employer and after a short conversation whilst at work he took my case. His skill and craft, molded by the many years he has defended, humbled me. He has never left me without assistance, counsel, or advice. Every step of the way through court and my medical emergencies, he always was there. As a Veteran of 8 years I have only referred Martin as the only counsel worth his salt. Make no mistake by contacting anyone else unless he recommends it. We still keep in contact to this day. Keep up the great work you do Sir. Saber 88 out.

Samuel Warner is the kind of attorney that you want to represent you for your SSA Disability benefits. His knowledge, demeanor, compassion and empathy set him apart from other attorneys in this field. Samuel stood by my side, advocated for me, explained every step of the process, and was very easy to communicate with via email. And most importantly, he helped me to win my SSDI benefits. Thank you Samuel!

Sam is a great attorney. The process to receive social security benefits was long. Sam was right about that. After a long arduous journey to get these benefits the judge ruled in my favor. Can’t thank Sam enough for all the help.

I highly recommend Warner and Warner for your bankruptcy needs. From the initial phone call with Alice, who not only provided ease with making an appointment, provided unlimited information, but most importantly was so kind and compassionate throughout all steps in the process. To working with Samuel Warner who was extremely knowledgeable, proficient, accountable, and extremely compassionate. Sam explained every detail, option, and scenario that could potentially happen, without pushing or deciding what choice would best fit my needs. He answered all questions, phone calls, emails within an exceptional timely manor. Before each step, meeting, and trial he made sure I was not only comfortable, had all my questions answered, but he always reassured me we would achieve the best outcome. Thank you Warner and Warner for giving me a second chance, at financial freedom.

My husband and I turned to Tim after facing a challenging tax issue that our previous accountant, whom we have since parted ways with, couldn't rectify. Mistakes, delays, and a lack of follow-up on the part of our old accountant left us in a tough spot. Thankfully, upon recommendation from our new tax preparer, we reached out to Tim. In just a few months, he managed to correct the errors, saving us nearly $20,000 in undue taxes. We are immensely grateful for Tim's exceptional service, clear communication, and swift resolution. We wholeheartedly recommend him!

In the course of the conversation that I had with attorney Russel, we discussed a wide variety of subjects regarding a variety of themes. The planning of estates and weddings amongst persons of the same gender were two of the issues that we discussed throughout our conversation. Those individuals who paid attention to what we had to say were able to extract a great lot of value from his professional advice, which was of the highest possible quality and presented a large amount of support in a practical sense.

I received a burn while dining out, it hurt for sure and I knew I needed medical attention. I also knew that I needed a lawyer. I called a few but it was a Sunday so I left voicemails. John Bailey called me that Monday, I never received a called from the other lawyers. After talking with him I knew he took my incident serious and quickly an agreement was reached with the restaurant representatives for compensation. I am very happy with the outcome. I wouldn't call another lawyer, John I can't thank you enough. I would also like to give a shout out to the secretary, She was very polite!
