Myself and husband retained Laura Ellis as our Real Estate Attorney to assist us with purchasing our second home. She came highly recommended by my sister. It was a pleasure working with Laura throughout our entire home purchasing experience. She first assisted us with getting out from a contract with our first Realtor, then Laura recommended an amazing agent who helped us found our new home. Laura is not only professional, knowledgeable, and a highly respected attorney but she’s also dedicated to each and every individual one of clients that’s the feeling we personally got from Laura! Purchasing a home during a pandemic had some challenges but Laura made sure she took the time to go over with us the documents either through emails with full explanation or phones call. Her response time to any concerns or issues was done promptly.
She always made sure that our best interest was a priority, and that the decisions she made would benefit our family. I would highly recommend Laura Ellis to anyone who wants an Real Estate Attorney that’s highly qualified!

I was in a divorce in which I remained in a state of limbo for many years , due to bad advice and financial woes . I let Laura at a Network Group and explained my situation and decided to seek her counsel . Laura was not only 110% truthful w me but also is very knowledgeable as to the law in foreclosure. After several attempts to deal w my house w the mortgage bank on my own w no satisfaction , Laura stepped in and not only avoided the foreclosure , she actually was able to conclude a Short Sale in record time . At no point was I under any pressure or stress and I was fully informed and was able to understand what she was doing . As a result I closed on the sale in less than 5 Months , the whole process start to finish , and regain back my credit rating in good standing.. This world needs more attorneys like Laura who care and understand their clients. I highly recommend her services to everyone !

I used Adam as my attorney when closing on my house. His communication was excellent- he kept us informed at every stage in the process, within a very timely manner. It was my first time buying a house so he made sure to address all my questions and concerns, helped me set up a surveyor, and walked me through the necessary meetings, all with a friendly demeanor to ensure I did not feel like a burden. I was so happy with the service, that I also used him for a moving violation in Suffolk County. He was honest with all costs and rates, which were more than reasonable. I highly recommend Adam.

I had gotten into a contract dispute with one of my vendors. Things were going from bad to worse and I had felt it was time to bring in an attorney. The reason I called Mr. Ansanelli was because I know that many litigation attorneys tell you what you want to hear and can end up costing you a fortune in fees before anything gets resolved. Mr. Ansanelli cut right to the chase, told me what I needed to hear and immediately began to navigate a path for me to most effectively resolve the issue, even if it means he makes less money. There is nothing I appreciate more than having a problem resolved at minimal cost. I absolutely recommend you contact Mr. Ansanelli if you are ever faced with the possibility of a lawsuit, or simply want to know the best path forward to avoid one.

Lee helped me with my real estate transaction back in June 2020. He took on my transaction after I was dealing with an attorney that had no time for me or my questions and simply was MIA.
Lee and his staff made themselves available for my questions at all times. They were courteous and responsive and made me feel comfortable through out the process. To top it off, the fees charged were very reasonable. I highly recommend him!!!

My wife and I are in a contract to purchase a condo and the path to a closing is getting more and more difficult by the day. I started looking for real estate litigation attorneys and found Kenneth on google. I reached out to Kenneth via their website. Ken called me the same day ( in a few hours ), spent a lot of time on the phone with me. He asked good questions, listened to and understood the chain of events until the present and gave me very good advice. I am very thankful.

The choice of an Attorney and their associated law office is a heavy responsibility. We need to weigh with care not only raw ability, but the values, dedication, and ethos that are instilled throughout the firm.
We need our Attorney to act on our behalf with dedication, yet all the while mirroring our personal expectations for fair play, and indeed the very real 'need' for justice that lies nascent within all decent souls.
We need our Attorney to conduct all business on our behalf with honour. Not just a 'display' of honour, but the real thing that drives those in whom this trait is part of the very fabric of their being, for at the end of the day we all need to hold our head high, and to take honest pride that our actions in all matters are true, and just.
We need our Attorney to be proactive. Dates and deadlines need to be kept sacrosanct. We may need to be prodded to action with compassion and care when distraction or even grief clouds our ability to react.
Lastly, we need to be able to emplace our trust in a manner that is representative of the heavy impact that word demands. Trust is difficult to earn, easy to lose, and forms the foundation of every confidence. That trust needs to be placed well, with the knowledge that time forges that bond to every increasing reliance and strength.
Richard Handler and the Handler Law Offices have earned this review. Their care, reason, civility, and humanity have served myself and my family in all aspects with excellent results. Their ability to plan, to envision contingencies, to prepare for the future is unmatched in my experience. I recommend them for their talent, and I commend them for their exceptional character.

100% Agree with Nicole Walsh. He does over charge and it not fair with his rates and charges you for everything he does. Doesn't give you any break. Every little penny is a charge. My case was not done fair. He complained about what is fair and not fair when he treats his clients not fair.

Would not recommend him for any services . He overcharges, over calls, and also has no respect that I was a single mom with an infant . I told him plenty of times I was busy with my son and he still charged me . He was not reasonable and didn’t help me accomplish anything with my custody battle .
I received a letter with the suffolk county district court and I will be going next week with emails and MANY others to show them that I stated many times that when my divorce is finalized he will get his money . I cannot set up a payment plan unless I know how much I’m going to get . Which happens with every divorce . They were only on my case for less then a month and the prices they charged me were OUTRAGEOUS ! I had to ask for copies and paperwork of every single piece of paperwork that they over charged me for, for that short amount of time . I think it was less then 30 days and $10,000. .The prices they charged were insane compared to other lawyers on Long Island . . His short time cost more then
My new lawyer and husbands lawyer combined . overcalled, over emailed me beyond my control and then charged me for those times . I will let suffolk county know and I hope they look into his illegal way of running a law firm. Very unfair when it comes to your way of “helping” clients . He showed up late to the police station and Amanda was the LAST one to help the day I needed her . He made her sit there all day when a lawyer should be first and out. Just to earn money . Maybe he needs more clients bc his way of dealing with clients is so horrible . Amanda also got yelled at by the judge for knowing absolutely nothing about the court system infront of the whole court which was embarrassing. The judge also stated she had no business speaking for me and also no business stating what she was asking was NOT Allowed! I was horrified to have her represent me . Run now. Kelly glass and Michelle from massapequa are way better and reasonable!!

So originally I found Glenn through a referral. That said, I expected him to be on point. On his website he mentions "all types of law", but in reality he doesn't necessarily properly practice all aspects of law.
Why do I say that? Well, because I probably had the worst experience ever with this council.
"30 years" in the business and he doesn't know I need a form filled out and notarized to represent me in court since I'm from out of state.
That said, alongside his poor communication, unscrupulous billing methods, and overall lack of professionalism, all I have to say that maybe it's time to hang up his law practice hat!

I ran into some legal issues and looked for a local attorney in Amityville NY. I met with Glenn and it probably turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. He doesn’t ‘beat around the bush’ and make false promises. He’s a man of his word and I appreciate all the work he did for me. If you need a lawyer, Glenn is your guy.
