Ivan Guerrero has been our family lawyer for at least the past five years. He was a referral source from a very respected firm in Nassau County. From the first day we had contacted him, he has been there supporting US every step of the way. Our estate was in foreclosure although we had a lawyer representing us at that time. Mr. Guerrero took over our case in early spring and told us not to worry. Sure enough, within less than two months, we had a loan modification. I kid you not, by Christmas that same here, a trustee had signed up on our permanent loan modification. As a woman who wants to feel security for her family, I felt that Mr. Guerrero had provided just that for my family. His entire office staff is professional and takes ALL my concerns and questions seriously. Mr Guerrero is always minutes away from answering a call or an email with a calm demeanor to ease our nerves whenever the bank send a threatening letter to take our "home, my children's home" away! Mr. Guerrero did such a WONDERFUL job with my first loan modification that we had transferred our second home's loan modification into his capable hands and professional staff with NO worries. He cares deeply about his clients. I have never met a lawyer with a heart until I met and dealt with Mr. Guerrero! He is the real deal folks!

We hired Pamela tucker to assist us with our son who was dyslexic and not receiving the help that he needed. I am writing this review a few years late but felt compelled to do so. Navigating the special education system can be overwhelming to parents. She was professional and very well respected in her field. She did the job she was hired to do and without her, our son would not have flourished and gone on to succeed in high school and college. He was able to receive a free and appropriate education in an environment that gave him the tools he needed to succeed. Thank you Pamela for changing my sons life. I’m happy to say he is thriving and confident doing what he loves.

Pamela Tucker was excellent!! We hired her to sue our school district for a FAPE
and she successfully helped us go to impartial hearing and place our son into a private school that is not on the NYS approved list. She is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable about NYSED. Her fees were reasonable and her advice was excellent. She helped us with IEP meetings and made our son's life better!!

Panela Tucker was not only no help in advocating for my husband & I at our home district to get our daughter with special needs into a placement that would best meet her needs, but was most insensitive and charged excessively!!! I was finally heard by my home district and action was taken after my husband & I did our own advocacy. STAY AWAY FROM PAM TUCKER!!!! Her fees are criminal, she is ill qualified, uncaring and only out to financially & emotionally drain families who are already suffering with a child who has a disability!!!

Tried to contact them several times about my car husbands car that was taken away by TFCU, his client. I was told that my car payment was 20 days passed due and that I should have put the car in my name. I explained to Mr. Compasono that I couldn't put the full amount of the car in my name and that I would pay what's left on my lease. I explained to him that my husband died 5 months ago and I had a disabled daughter at home ass well as one in college. I informed him that I was in constant contact with Teachers Federal Credit Union and was trying to work with them. I was waiting for our SSI to be approved and that I couldn't put another vehicle in my name. He had no compassion at all, he started getting nasty and practically hung up the phone. Is this law office so desperate for business that they prey on a family who just lost their husband (father) with a chronically ill child?
