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.

Justin was extremely great to my husband and I during our 1 st time home buying process! He made us feel completely confident that he was taking care of us and in a timely manner! There was never a doubt in our mind, Justin is trusted 100%. Not to mention every time we ended a phone call we were blown away by his knowledge and ability to help us understand! Not a single phone call/email went without a response and in most cases immediately! Thank you for everything Justin!!

Working with Justin Rutherford was a fantastic experience. He's brilliant. A great people-person coupled to a very well versed lawyer. It's hard to find someone as personable and intelligent as Justin. Justin worked incredibly hard to make me happy as a client. He went out of his way on several occasions to go the extra mile. The net results of my experience with Justin left me feeling confident in his work.
I would recommend Justin to anyone, especially as it relates to home purchase closings.

Justin and his firm make transactions happen for his clients. He is dedicated to using the latest in technology combined with old-fashioned customer service. He is always available and very responsive whether you just need your legal rights explained or if you need to discuss more complicated legal issues. He helped overcome last minute obstacles that were going to delay closing on the property. He was always looking ahead during the process and making sure that we addressed things before they became a problem. At the closing he went through all of the closing statements and documents in detail to make sure that there was no question unanswered.
They don't come any better! I highly recommend Justin.

Michael Bruno helped me steer through a very difficult historical home purchase that didn't end up working out through no fault of his or mine. Mike is very prompt responding to email and phone. Mike always has his clients interest at heart and has true integrity. I appreciate Mike's swift action to extricate me out of a very bad investment.

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.

Margie helped me through the most difficult time of my life. She took care of everything I needed and more. She was always compassionate and always cared about how I was doing. Margie took the time to explain everything, and explain every outcome that could happen. She did everything she could to get me the best outcome possible. I always felt she had my best interest at heart and I could trust her with anything. Margie made this awful time in my life easier to deal with by always being there for whatever I needed. She went above and beyond everything I expected! I can't say enough good things about her. I would recommend her over and over again!

Margie Soehl is a top notch savvy attorney. She was recommended to us by a former client. She was not only legally savvy but also sensitive to my spouse's needs. For example, the injuries incurred as a result of the circumstances that led to the case, limited my spouse's physical abilities. She spoke to us about doing the necessary deposition over several days, as opposed to one marathon day that would have been superlatively challenging for my spouse. The entire firm was highly professional and able to blend their professionalism with customized client care with ease.

I was very seriously injured at a New York State boat launch. Chris Flint handled the case from start to finish. We brought an action in against New York State in the Court of Claims. I saw Chris in action, first in depositions, then at trial. He was great. Chris had spent many hours with me both in his office and at the scene of the accident, preparing for trial. He went above and beyond and was absolutely driven to get me the best result possible. Through Chris’s hard work and excellent skills in the court room, the Court found liability on the State, a result they were definitely not expecting. The State then settled the case. I feel that without Chris’s hard work, I could not have won the case. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone.

Unfortunately I needed to hire an attorney as my husband was killed during a repossession. I was lost and could hardly think of anything other than my family. I was referred by a family friend to Chris Flint who not only became our attorney but also and more importantly became our friend. Chris always thought of our feelings and how our children would react during the process of bringing justice for my husband. With so many questions and unknowns, I called Chris day and night and not once did he ignore our calls but rather gave me his personal number. For that I was grateful. It's been 4 years since our case was settled and Chris still checks in - my husband sent me an angel.

I suffered a serious injury accident. Knowing I needed a good personal injury attorney I hired Chris Flint. Chris is a partner in his law firm and he took my case and worked on it himself. The case was quickly resolved with a substantial settlement. Personal attention like this is hard to come by. I cannot praise his integrity and attention to detail highly enough.

Linda is very conscientious, caring, attentive and extremely knowledgeable attorney.

Linda Johnson was my attorney for a personal injury-associated traffic ticket, and she quickly familiarized herself with my case, and Ms. Johnson got the case dismissed. Ms. Johnson made it her top priority to insure that my rights were protected, and she worked to get my ticket dismissed in order to put me in the best possible position in terms of protecting me against future litigation relevant to the personal injury. Throughout the experience, Ms. Johnson was friendly and professional, and I strongly recommend her services.

My experience with Linda Johnson was part of a very long 3 year lawsuit which I was the victim of a car crash. Linda and Steve Shultz where my lawyers for this lawsuit against three different people (insurance company lawyers). Now to be honest lawsuits are kind of a pain mostly because of how long it takes which wasn't my lawyers fault but the opposing companies but Linda did an amazing job on my case especially during the week long trial battle. Not only that but she was really supportive and did a great job helping me make crucial decisions which in turn helped me get a very favorable outcome. That said if I had to go through this type of experience again and hopefully I don't because the crash part still hurts there is no other lawyer I would rather have on my team she definitely knows her stuff and is a pleasure to work with I couldn't thank her enough. She helped me fight for what I deserved and it worked out in my favor made it so I can finally move forward and go to college. If you have a lawsuit Linda will 100% not disappoint.

I was very impressed with the zeal and determination that Joel Hodes brought to my case. His professional ability and his talent for clear communication brought clarity and cohesiveness to a situation that was begging for logic. Joel's dedication to this case could not have been greater had he been presenting his own personal case. Even though, in the end, the case was not resolved in my favor I would go out of my way to employ Joel at any opportunity in the future. He is a rare professional who is able to couple his legal talent with a genuine sensitivity that makes him not only a fine lawyer but an impressive human being.

While Joel and I have worked together for more than 40 years on commercial, labor and health care litigation, our most recent collaboration was in 2011-12 on behalf of an international reinsurance company named as one of 6 lead defendants in a 60-party asbestos litigation in New York State Supreme Court. Joel is smart, articulate and absolutely dedicated to his clients. I highly recommend him without reservation.

Ms. Hogan has been my attorney for years, specializing in healthcare issues for my Durable Medical Equipment company.
She has successfully won numerous cases on my behalf saving me very significant amounts of money. What else is important to say? Honest? absolutely. Qualified? without a question. Who else would be successful against government and private entities. Feel free to contact me regarding documentation to confirm my statements. I wish I could find a general attorney as qualified.

Carla Hogan is everything I want in a lawyer -experienced, honest, well connected and well respected. When I spoke, she listened not just to the facts, but managed to hear the subtext and context. When I wanted to act, she gave advise that I could really hear and understand. Ms Hogan's understanding of the law and of the community are outstanding.

Casey helped me work through drafting a contract for the process of assisted reproduction with a close friend. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer for this process. She helped me understand all the issues involved - on both a legal and a personal level - and she was extremely knowledgeable about the law as it stands and as it may change in the future. I was nervous about making sure that we drafted as strong a contract as possible. While she wasn't afraid to tell me when something I wanted wasn't possible, her supportive attitude during our conversations helped me feel much more comfortable with the document that we generated over the course of the process, and it ended up containing almost all of what I wanted. In addition, she was not only timely and responsive in our communication, she was also human - and a warm and caring human at that. It's clear that this field is important to her, and that she'll do her best for all of her clients. Casey is an excellent choice for anyone seeking legal counsel in this field.

Hands down the best lawyer around. I had previously hired another lawyer for my divorce and adoption of my son, and after 5 months and several thousand dollars, nothing was accomplished. I was referred to Casey from a friend who had a great experience as well. Casey was able to break everything down and go over everything until I could understand the complicated situation I was in. With her by my side, we were able to accomplish our goals and finalize everything in a timely matter. She was never one of those lawyers who wanted to drag anything out just to drain me of more money (Like my previous lawyer). She was always available to reach when needed, even on a Saturday night!! I would recommend Casey to anyone who needs any sort of legal help. Hopefully I will never need legal services again, but if I did, I will be right back with Casey. Thank you again!!

Throughout my 23 years in the Law Enforcement Community I have come to know many Attorneys. In 2009 my wife and I were in need of an Immigration Attorney and Mr. Jonathan Pearson was recommended to us by a colleague.
Our Case was complex and difficult to say the least, Mr. Pearson (Jonathan) agreed to take our case.
Mr. Pearson was meticulous in performing his duties; his written briefs were some of the best I have ever read in my law enforcement career. I found him to be competent, knowledgeable, dedicated and tireless.
In the end our case had a successful outcome thanks to the efforts of our Attorney, Mr. Jonathan R. Pearson. I was and to this day still impressed by his drive to achieve excellence and would recommend him without hesitation.

I recently hired Mr. Palmateer in a Federal trademark dispute case in which I was the defendant. First of all, Lee is very personable and an excellent communicator, which I have found to be qualities lacking in some attorneys. He is diligent about returning phone calls and e-mails and is scrupulously honest in his billing practices. He is, in short, a credit to the legal profession.
But don't let Lee's unassuming demeanor fool you, he excels as a litigator. In fact, he is a litigator of uncommon ability and judgment. I have found him to be tenacious in pursuit of his client's best interests, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to someone in need of a seasoned intellectual property attorney. I credit his expertise and hard work for the amicable end to my case.

I had been sitting on my business trademark for years knowing I need to secure an official trademark but clueless on where to start. I was seriously considering using an online legal filling service but very uncomfortable with the unknowns and completely overwhelmed by the process knowing there was much more that had to be considered. A colleague recommended I contact Lee. It was the best move I could have made. I called his office and he got back to me immediately. He listened very carefully and answered all of my questions to complete satisfaction. In all of our conversations I felt like we were communicating as equals. There was no condescension whatsoever. All of the fees were presented in detail and I completely trust his judgement.
He is timely with any follow up issues and clear about deadlines and the consequences in regard to my application for not meeting them. I highly recommend Lee Palmateer and look forward to working with him in the future.

After discovering that I had Legionnaire's Disease which I contracted from the Best Western Sovereign Hotel in Albany, which has a history of problems with this disease, I contacted Michael Conway who I knew from newspaper stories was representing several other clients with the same problem. Michael was kind enough to visit me at my home while I was still recovering from the Legionnaire's so I wouldn't have to make the trip down to his office. I had originally contacted another lawyer whom I knew personally but decided to go with Michael because he was already
deeply involved with other Best Western Legionnaire's cases. I always found Michael responsive and he dutifully kept me apprised of the status of my case by sending me all paperwork and staying in touch by phone. He answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. My case was settled by mediation, and thanks to Michael's and his team's efforts, I was remunerated nearly $36,000 in damages from the Best Western. I appreciate all of Michael's hard work and expertise and would heartily recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent personal injury attorney.

A family member was involved in a multi vehicle accident as a passenger and sustain some long term injuries due to the impact and her age. Attorney Conway has allowed me and other family members to ask questions, give input, be involved in decisions. His communication is clear, as well as his actions. He is sensitive and well practiced and controls the process and challanges carefully and artfully while not wasting time. You would be under excellent care in the service of Attorney Conway.

As a past client I had an excellent experience with Michael Conaway as my lawyer. He is a very dedicated, upfront and take action kind of lawyer. If you are not experiencing this with your current lawyer I recommend that you change lawyers and contact Michael Conaway. If results are what you want then Michael is your man. Thank you Michael for what you did for our family. Having closure after so many years of waiting is a wonderful feeling. Now we can get on with our lives. Thanks again! A very satisfied client.

John-Raphael has been nothing but exceptional since meeting him. As soon as I contacted him, he quickly responded and was able to meet with me for a consult on my family’s case. His ability to speak Spanish was really helpful in being able to keep my family involved in the conversation. He took his time in explaining all of our possible options and made sure that my family fully understood as well. I have never seen an attorney take this much care in his job. It was very clear how knowledgeable he is and how all his experiences make him very qualified for his job. Thankfully he is able to take on my family’s case and I look forward to continuing working with him. It is amazing to find someone who truly loves what they do and do it to help others.

Jake Lamme is a lawyer who goes above and beyond what can be expected. He is knowledgeable of the law and works endlessly with us through this difficult time. He keeps us informed and makes useful suggestions as to the direction he feels we need to pursue. Jake talks to us as a friend as well as our attorney.

This highly recommended rating may look more like a family member or close friend s review but I have been a client of Mr Lamme for almost the past 2 years due to a very complicated case that I am involved with. He is not only knowledgeable but does not hesitate to double check the facts with the experts. I am the type of person who appreciares and actually requires being updated and informed and what to expect next. I can honestly say that I have never waited more than 48 hours tops for a response from Jake or another member of his legal team. Litigation is never inexpensive yet the value and service of what our costs have accumulated to date ,I know their is no one out there that can match the top notch service and knowledgeable direction that Jake has given us.

From day one he was engaged & really wanted to figure out what had happen, how it would affect me, and what could be done to help. He was very clear & concise every step of the way. He was easy to have a conversation with regarding law & putting it in a simple, understanding way. He always laid out all the options, as well as pointing out pros/cons for each.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expertise in this field.

I was in a car accident in January 2016 sustaining multiple injuries. I was referred to April Dalbec by a very close friend. Mrs. Dalbec was friendly, professional and knowledgeable at our initial meeting. Throughout my case, I was always kept informed. I could always reach Mrs. Dalbec or her team and when call backs were required, they were very prompt. Being able to electronically communicate was a further convenience. My case moved along quickly and was won. I would not hesitate to use April Dalbec and her firm again.

April M. Dalbec Esq. recently handled a case for me after a major accident that left me off my feet for about 2 months with serious multiple fractures. I had no insurance at the time so the week long hospital stay accrued significant financial liabilities, right when I was unable to work and in need of focusing on getting well. April's kind approach with me, coupled with her tenacity and negotiating skills with the insurance company and hospital billing department, left me in a significantly better position than I could have possibly been in on my own. She gave me hope, encouragement and in the end freed me from a substantial financial burden that would have haunted me for years. I am so thankful for her professionalism and her humanistic demeanor and would heartily recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. She gave me my life back while becoming my friend. Thank you so much April for being you and for doing what you do!

Not only was a very large settlememt made but she was my biggest cheerleader in this case that went on for quite some time. Her kindness and integrity went well beyond her role as an attorney. I have know her for 16 yrs and she still keeps in contact with me from time to time. She was AMAZING and I cant recommend her enough

I am a Physician in the local area. In January, Mr. Wagoner reviewed my contract with one of the local hospitals. I found him to be dependable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. His work ethic was exceptional. When given a job to do he did not forget or delay but got it done. I found Mr. Wagoner to be a pleasant, understanding, and caring individual. He spent quite a lot of time with me and he explained the complex terminology in easy to understand terms. He proved to be a thorough, courteous, and dedicated attorney. I could not be happier with the outcome of his work and would recommend him with the highest regard for all future assignments. Thank you.

He took the time and attention to get to know the facts of my case and explained things to me in an understandable way, not like some lawyers who only use legal jargon to confuse you and try to prove how smart they are. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks for all your help, Matt!!

I was in a car accident and after contacting Mr. Scagnelli, I was told to receive medical care. Peter J. Scagnelli was able to get my vehicle repaired, my medical bills paid, my loss wages compensated and was able to settle my personal injury claim for more than I ever expected. Peter J. Scagnelli is the "Go to Guy"

Peter came highly recommended. He represented me in family court over the last 3 years after numerous petitions filed against me. I feel unlike the large law firms where you are paying for overhead costs, copies, ever small question etc that he was fair, understanding and flexible to match my needs. Peter will give you straight forward answers and be realistic about your situation. There is a sort of peace in at least understanding the procedures as one goes through these difficult times.

My wife and I have used Tim and his firm for a number of years. He has provided support in the area of elder care services for my elderly mother, our personal estate planning and real estate transactions.
We have always been well served by Mr. Casserly and his staff. They are attentive to our needs, timely in their service and thorough in their efforts.
We strongly recommend Tim and the firm of Burke & Casserly!

Tim and his firm recently navigated our family through a difficult lawsuit during a large real estate transaction. He lead the way with conviction and tenacity. His perseverance kept us out of court leading to the eventual closing of a property that has changed the lives of many.
Tim is not just a great lawyer, he is a nice guy who is easy to talk and down to earth.

Marien is a very smart young lady. Before I landed in her hands I had never any successful case in my entire life. Yet those other private lawyers had charged me thousands and thousands of dollars. She's a very good listener and kind hearted person. Marien will make it possible even if you can't get to her and she will commute to you.
Best communication skills and updates you on anything she feels is necessary fie you to know. I understand it's not that possible to seek knowledge from others but, marien does research too to make sure you win no matter what. We love you marien!

I contacted Joseph needing help in dealing with changing my child support terms due to selling my home and my arrangement originally being related to the mortgage.
Joseph got me in to see him very quickly. He listened to everything I had to tell him, took copious notes, and went straight to work the day I walked in for my consultation. Joseph knows every nuance of the law, and is compassionate and cares deeply about making sure his clients are well taken care of. He has the utmost respect for his clients feelings and state of mind during high stress situations and is incredibly professional. I highly recommend Joseph for any part of divorce, separation, child support, adoption - whichever part of the process you're in. He got me through a very difficult time and I am very grateful to him.

Joseph represented me throughout my divorce. He is hard-working, thorough, and kind. He helped me obtain my desired outcome through litigation. He never missed a beat. I hope the worst is over, but I can rest assured knowing that-should the need arise-he will be there to assist with my legal needs.
