After 60 years of driving with no accidents and no tickets, a minor accident resulted in a ticket with all the stressful elements. The prospect of court, guilty plea, points on my license, insurance implications, and first timer's shock, impacted my sense of well being and confidence. The circumstances of the accident were certainly far from demonstrating one sided fault. Determined to take every option to find fairness in the black and white scenario, I sought out legal help from Tim Higgins. With professionalism, deep and wide experience, and good will, Tim guided me through the challenges of a situation that seemed minor but was very significant to me. With an affable manner and clarity in sharing the steps that were needed, I was successfully guided to a very fair outcome. Tim knew the domain, the processes, the decision makers, and how to state my case. I can share my absolute confidence in the law firm and Tim Higgins for anyone looking at the words The People vs. (Your Name) and committed to optimal outcomes.

Everyone at Lemire & Higgins was amazing! They were beyond knowledgeable and were there for me whenever I had questions. They fought for me to get what I deserved and what was fair and just. If I ever hear anyone needing any legal advice I will be referring them as I was referred to them!

I hired and have used Amy and her firm exclusively for over 18 years. They have seen me through two Divorces, Child support, Child Custody litigation with consistent positive results. I would not look anywhere else for the counsel needed in these matters. I was always clearly apprised of the reality of each situation and negotiated and/or litigated issues with mutually beneficial results. The cost has always been extremely reasonable. Amy is personable, never arrogant, explains things in an easy to understand manner and makes you feel like her only client.

Our real estate broker recommended Brandi Burns to represent us in a land sale. Brandi and her staff were completely professional, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. We hired her for the initial sale, and also later, when the buyer obtained permanent financing. She advised us, provided the documents, and even attended the closings on our behalf. Most recently, she drafted a document on very short notice. She always answered our calls and emails promptly. We would not hesitate to hire her again.

My consult with Jennifer Pratt was lengthy and in depth. She took the time to listen, ask questions and gave me all the information I was seeking regarding a case I was involved in. She is very knowledgeable regarding the law, but for me it was her personal concern and interest that sets her apart from other attorneys I consulted with. She is honest, fair and compassionate.

Stacey was referred to me by a friend. I hired her in February of this year for a custody case (I'm a dad). My son's mother has some problems and he was very unhappy living with her. Stacey taught me how to document incidents, remember important details, and other things that are needed to prevail in court. In May, Stacey got me full custody of my son, which is difficult when you're a father. It was a good decision to hire her.

I would not have any reservations about recommending this firm to anyone. My case was a very difficult one, and it was handled with the highest degree of care by Tim Higgins. He went above and beyond to make our very difficult situation easier for us. My husband passed away two years ago…. Tim came and met with us several times always showing so much kindness and compassion for my husband. Tim’s attention to detail was amazing…. He covered every base…. The firm, and Tim Higgins is by far one of the very best.

Complete neglect.
During my divorce proceedings, she repeatedly told me that it was fine for me to move out of my house and start my new life before the court hearing took place. As a result, the judge said I abandoned my children to which I then had to fight for custody. She had no remorse for her poor advice and only said, “I don’t know happened.”
I decided to change lawyers and after thousands of dollars spent, I was finally able to obtain partial custody of my children.

If i could rate this disrespectful incompetent 'attorney' a zero star rating, I would. I retained him for family court and he SO incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful & useless. His communication skills are absolutely awful, between replying in a timely manner & being overall VERY disrespectful. If you want nothing achieved on your end, hire him. He will be able to do what he does best, absolutely nothing.

I used the services of Neil Weiner of Clifton Park, NY during a contempt of court case with my ex-husband. I found him to be very disorganized and consistently unprepared. I am a very organized person and provided him with all necessary documentation to prepare to argue my case. He regularly prepared court documents that were filled with errors regarding dates and amounts of money. When I pointed these errors out to him he responded with anger and frustration demanding that I resupply the information he already had in his possession. He failed to appear in court with necessary documentation and stumbled through his arguments. On at least three occasions he emailed me correspondences and billing statements meant for other clients. If he was the only attorney available, I would go to court without one.
