I reached out to Michelle for a post-matrimonial matter. To say that she exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. My original divorce contract had been poorly negotiated, so we had to be ready for everything. Michelle fought fiercely to get what was fair for me, and for that I am grateful. Thank you.

Upon getting charged with a DWI I reached out to an attorney who I had used throughout my life for anything that came up. I was basically told based on your BAC we won’t be able to get a reduced offer and I am not sure how long the process will take. After a meeting, phone calls and a court appearance I was more confused than ever and accepted the fact that I would be getting a DWI. At this point a had a couple of people tell me that I should probably get a second opinion just based on the lack of information and inability to even understand the process ahead.
It was at this point I called James and left a message. He got back to me immediately and spent 25 minutes talking through the fact surrounding the case and how this would move forward step by step. After talking to James I felt 100% better about the situation he was able to answer every question I had around the charges, temporary license, and a timeline. Additionally, James began to discuss scenarios to get the charges thrown out or reduced which is something I had completely dismissed as I was told a plea wouldn’t be possible. I had actually told him that I am fine with the DWI charge if we can just get this wrapped up. He seemed shocked and told me that I may get a DWI but it will be after we exhaust all of our options and if I want to plead guilty that I should get another attorney. Over the next few months James kept me informed eventually telling me to report to court and we will be wrapping this up with a DWAI charge!
Having worked with James I would highly recommend anyone tangled up with a DWI charge to give him a call. My experience with lawyers is minimal but he completely exceeded all my expectations while being personable and relatable.
Thanks James.

Our experience as real estate buyers with attorney Dzifa Gan is admirable, the complete transaction and closing was executed efficiently, professionally, flawlessly and smoothly. We will definitely use her services again as a professional real estate attorney at the Hogan Willig Law Firm.

Dzifa was recommended to us by our real estate agent and we are so glad to have hired her. We found her to be highly attentive to our needs/questions especially during the pandemic. She was able to keep our home closing on schedule despite potential delays caused by Covid 19. When time came to close she was very amenable to dates and times that worked best for us. We enjoyed her personality and patience since it's been a long time since we bought and sold a home.

I cannot highly recommend Mr. Block enough for not only his legal counsel, but his genuine guidance as a human. Mr. Block should be first name when you think of personal injury or traffic/speeding violations. David is a clear and concise communicator that has a true passion for his work and for his clients. I felt so incredibly represented, and as long as you have Mr. Block on your side, you know you have somebody that will always fight for you.

Rick Boorman's law firm handled the sale of my house. I live in Florida and they are located in western NY, so that was a complicating factor. Shannon Bihr was the paralegal I worked directly with and she was fantastic! Not only was she knowledgeable and very good at her job, Shannon was also very friendly and easy to work with. It was actually a pleasure to interact with her. I heartily endorse the Boorman Law office to anyone that needs professional legal services!

Bryan was extremely helpful in all aspects of my comp case. He kept me informed, told me what was going to happen and even advised me to stay calm throughout the proceedings. He is not easily intimidated by the opposing counsel and very thorough in finding out information from myself as the client and on all case matters. He is very up front and tells me what is happening and what can happen within the case.
Being frustrated by lies of the people testifying against me Bryan was very conscious of how I felt and was helpful in making me feel calm.
I would recommend Bryan Brooks if you are looking for a good attorney who knows his practice and is compassionate and looks for the right and true information and how to use it.

When I needed a divorce attorney, I did a Google search and found a lawyer who started off our interaction by answering the phone unprofessionally. After establishing that I was looking for a lawyer, he requested that I send him some information and told me that he would contact me later that day. When I did not hear back, I went to his website and filled out his online form and provided the information that he requested. When he finally contacted me a few days later (instead of later in the day as he said he would), he spelled my name incorrectly despite me providing it correctly on his website as well as it being spelled correctly in my email address to which he was replying. With each interaction, he made himself look more and more unprofessional and unreliable.
Dissatisfied with this amount of inaccuracy and unprofessionalism, I continued my search for a divorce lawyer. Then I found Katelynn Johnson, who embodied professionalism, expertise, and helpfulness. Thanks to her knowledge of both the law and the judicial system, my case proceeded to a successful resolution as fast as could be. She was prompt, courteous, and truly cared that she was helping a human being. The process was smooth and seamless with no issues at all as well as faster than expected.
I cannot say enough good things about Attorney Johnson. Anyone who needs a divorce in the Buffalo area could not go wrong with Katelynn Johnson.

I came to the Coppola Firm during one of the most difficult times in my professional career, when a past employer tried to enforce a Noncompete Agreement through legal intimidation. Lisa and her team were such a strong support system; they gave me their undivided attention, actively involved me in strategy discussions, and made me feel informed every step of the way. I honestly felt like I was their only client at times.
When someone throws a punch, Lisa hits back 10X as hard. After seeing Lisa’s team’s countersuit to scare tactics, my former employer asked me to settle.
I highly recommend the Coppola Firm- my situation alone speaks volumes to this Firms dedication.

Due to the nature of my legal issue's, I consulted Mr. Cohen for his professional opinions on my civil right's suits.
He was honest, albeit, an hour truly isn't enough time for any attorney to be able to get the jist of any suit. One quick glance or reading isn't enough time...HOWEVER, since Mr. Cohen's area of expertise is civil rights litigation. His advice was worth the money spent. It's too bad that he's a firm lawyer. I'm sure if he had a private practice, he would have taken the cases on a contingency basis.
I would DEFINTELY hire or consult with him.
Well worth the money spent!

My experience with Mr. Cohen was less than stellar. Bottom line was money, and lots of it. As I struggled to get together the amount, he did not answer communications repeatedly. My case is one in a million, and would be a nationally recognized win. Damages are recoverable including attorneys fees. However, you actually have to believe in the case to win. I believe he has the intellect, but he doesn't have the heart. If I had his skill, I would feel a sense of obligation to use it to help those who are disadvantaged, as this is what civil rights law is about. Those who have millions don't need protection.

Mr. Cohen has been my family's attorney for over 20 years. Steve is an attorneys attorney. Not only does he know the law, but he is well versed in all areas of law. He consulted with me & was able to coordinate all legal aspects of my business purchase. I am proud to not only consider Steve my attorney, but also a close family friend.

Katie was was recommended to me by one of my best friends who is a lawyer herself. This was one of the most difficult times in my life and Katie’s support helped me through it. She is very proactive in her approach and her legal knowledge was incredibly precise and extensive. From our first meeting to the last, she had followed through everything she said she would and she went above and beyond everything I had expected. If you are lucky enough to have her represent you then I am confident you are in great hands.
