It is very rare that you meet a stranger who immediately becomes someone you can depend on to have your best interests at heart. Chris was that "stranger"; no matter how many times I contacted him with which were probably selling jitters, he took the time to answer me and reassure me that I was not bothering him, and that my questions were legit. I sincerely appreciated working with him and his staff and recommend them without reservation!

Anthony supported me in a FSBO of a studio apartment in a cooperative building (Manhattan, upper East side). Anthony is a no non-sense attorney with years of experience in the NYC real estate market. He answers calls and emails promptly and effectively, whether it is a week day or the weekend. I chose not to have an agent representing me in the sale therefore it was essential for me to hire an attorney that would keep me informed and on board each step of the way. Anthony did that without ever making me feel that I was wasting his time with my very many questions. If I ever come back to NYC and need representation I will surely reach out to Anthony.

His professionalism and knowledge of the law was exactly what I needed to close on this house. I can’t thank him enough.
I would recommend him to my friends and family in a heartbeat!

I had been with a prior law firm before retaining Mr. Ibrahim. The firm had my case for over 2 years and the attorney advised that the case was going to be very difficult to win.
I was told by a very good family friend they had retained Mr. Ibrahim on a mixed criminal/immigration matter and that he was smart when it came to these cases. I immediately decided I had nothing to lose and scheduled a consult with his firm. The entire staff was friendly and very accommodating. The attorney first required a due diligence check on my case for a reasonable fee in order to be able to properly give me an assessment of what my chance were. I liked that as it showed he wanted to make sure that the money i work so hard for didn't go to waste on a case that he determined was not one that he would take.
Upon receipt of the due diligence the attorney carefully reviewed the case with me, laid out a plan of action, and before I knew it, he had resolved the case in a way the other law firm didn't even know about or offer to me in 2 years.
i would give Mr. Ibrahim 10 stars if I could.

I was in and out of family court with what seemed like a new lawyer every time. Between the costs and the time and the stress, I almost gave up fighting. I was referred to Aiman Ibrahim by colleague who had used him in a similar situation. Aiman put an end to all those needless court appearance and was able to get me the rights I was entitled to have. When someone asks me about my lawyer, all I have to reply with is that I trust him with my family.

Maria represented my wife and I in a recent Real Estate transaction.
We sold our condo on Long Island, and it was a very involved transaction because there were multiple offers and several contracts. Maria handled everything with expertise.
Her knowledge of Real Estate Law and her professionalism were outstanding, and she was available to us at all times to answer our questions and deal with realtors and buyers attorneys.
We retained Maria because she had previously prepared our Wills and of course she did an outstanding job with that as well.
I cannot recommend Maria highly enough. She is a terrific attorney and the consummate professional.

I am so glad that i chose Andrew Latos to represent me in my car accident. He made me feel like part of the team and i was able to reach out to him whenever i had a question.

I also want to say that one of his paralegal Alexis was so helpful and patient and explained each and every step that was happening on my case. She was great. I would hire them again and again if i ever needed to. :)

I am grateful for the legal advice I received from Mr. Allen. His explanations and considerations were extremely helpful for me to maneuver through a difficult phase of my life. He answered comprehensively and at a great pace, while at the same time giving me ample time to think through the possibilities and how I want to move forward.
Plus, no additional costs were charged for follow-up questions on the discussed subject matter!
There are situations in life that are by no means desirable. But should one experience them, it is good to have someone like John M Allen by your side. To guide you, to consider various options, to identify possible consequences - in knowledge of the legal matter and with practical wisdom.

Mr. Allen is simply put: extremely effective. He was helpful from the very beginning and was confident of his abilities and delivered in a very short period of time. He was available anytime to talk to me and even though I was probably one of his smaller cases, he took the time to speak with me and made me feel comfortable and in the loop at all times. I have dealt with plenty of attorneys and am a law school graduate myself - John Allen is amongst the best I've ever interacted with.

Adam has been my entertainment attorney for the past several years, serving both my film/video production company, as well as various independent films I've been working on. He has always done a thorough job and presented his expert opinions in ways that are clear and comprehensible by a non-attorney. He is there to answer my questions and takes my feedback into account as needed for the various contracts, release forms, deal memos, and other documents he has worked on for us. One of Adam's key strengths is his legal expertise coupled with his hands on experience as a film producer. This inside knowledge of the industry gives him a unique perspective when working with companies like mine, and enables him to truly understand our needs and perspective. He also has immense patience and is a true team player. I'm very happy to have Adam on our team, and recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for an entertainment or IP attorney.

Truly an honest man, he will not bullshit you and he'll let you know if he can be of assistance. He was down to earth and gave me great advice, I wasn't expecting to get transferred to the lawyer and when I was I did not expect him to give me advice! I couldn't believe that he didn't try to sell me, but told me it would be better that I stick out my situation because suing would not result in any benefits for me and would be a waste of time. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Mr. Szaniawski reviewed a contract between myself and a large publishing house for two fiction books.
He highlighted areas where the contract language did not support my best interests or could be interpreted differently than the verbal agreement reached between my agent and the publishing company. He then drafted alternative language that made my intended rights more clear.
He was meticulous and went word by word, line by line through the document to insure that the deal I understood was the deal that I signed. I feel much more confident having sought his counsel. Thanks to him, I also have a better understanding of my responsibilities in the agreement and where future problems could arise.
I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a thorough, skilled attorney. He also has the rare talent of translating legalese to a layman.
