Estate planning can feel overwhelming, stressful, and easy to put off. However, Iryna made the process easy and stress free. She has solutions and answers to all your concerns and guides you through the process with patience and attention to detail. She was a pleasure to work with, and we can’t recommend her enough!

I was looking for a well-regarded Estate law firm in my area and came across Iryna and her team. I am so happy I considered Iryna as my estate attorney! Iryna was informative, patient and transparent. She clearly explained me how I can protect myself and my son from unfavorable tax situations and probate court. My communication with Iryna was very easy and effective, involving in-person meetings and emails. The response time to my email inquiries was very quick as well as clear and detailed in addressing my concerns. Iryna gave me a great advice on how to retitle my assets into the trust. She provided me with the asset spreadsheet and specific instructions and guided me through the entire process. In addition, Iryna gave me a gift of 1year Docubank membership that will provide hospitals with quick and easy access to my healthcare directives and my vital contact information in the case of emergency. Iryna did a fantastic job doing my trust. Her firm pricing was very reasonable. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an assistance in the estate law.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Frank, Mr. Delaney, and Mr. Garcia for their exceptional support and guidance throughout the submission of our I-485 applications. Thanks to their efforts, my family and I have received our green cards. Initially, I was skeptical about them, as I didn't know much about them. However, upon reaching out to them, I was impressed by their prompt and cordial responses. They went above and beyond in addressing other issues I encountered, providing assistance that I believe no other attorney could match. Their unwavering support and prompt replies throughout the process were invaluable. One standout feature of working with their small team was their consistent responsiveness; if one team member was delayed in replying, another stepped in to ensure timely communication. Working with F&D has been an outstanding experience. My sincere thanks to the entire team, and I wish them all the best.

Having previously hired Adam Frank for my J1 212(e) waiver, I was happy to hire him again to apply for my green card. He and the rest of the firm were very helpful explaining all of the steps and helping us get the required documents together and submitted, and I would highly recommend him for visa applications. Their fees were also very reasonable compared to what other firms were quoting.

During the most horrible time of my life, Erin Kopelman was there for me every step of the way, from the beginning consultation, to the final court proceedings and paperwork. She was always accessible by phone and email, even on weekends. She calmly explained things to me, presented many options, solutions, and she listened to all of my worries and concerns. I’ll never forget, during a particularly difficult, scary moment, even though Erin was out of town with her family, she contacted me immediately to address my situation. I always felt she was extremely knowledgeable about the most current laws, and contract composition. Although she was respectful of opposing counsel, she didn’t accept any nonsense from them, and wasn’t afraid to put them in their place. I felt confident and thankful to have Erin in my corner.

Erin has had my back the entire time through my divorce. She gets back to me, usually, with hours. I felt very strongly that we had a mutually trustful relationship. She trusted that I realistically knew my situation and I trusted her knowledge of the law and opposing counsel. As birds of a feather flock together, I would trust anyone at her firm and all her recommendations.

Erin was my divorce attorney through an extremely messy and contentious situation. During the entire process she was unfailingly patient with me, taking the time to explain some of the more arcane or complex parts of the process to me so that I could better understand (and be responsive to) the many requests by the Court for documents. In addition, Erin was able to rise above the acrimony of the situation and was a constant advocate for fair, negotiated approaches to closing the gap between the parties. In court, she respectfully, but forcefully pushed our positions in a way that was clear, but not antagonizing to the Judge. She is, in short, someone you would be lucky to have on your side. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

It was a pleasure meeting Mr Lastra. During my consultation, it was obvious that his knowledge was extensive and he helped me determine the best course of action in my upcoming separation and custody case. Not only did he provide ample time to describe what my ideal outcome could be, he allowed me time to ask any questions I had and provided a strategic course of action. He was very honest with me and helped me to put my wants and possible outcome into perspective. I’m glad I chose to work with him and look forward to working with Mr. Lastra in the future.

I consulted with Mr Lastra to understand the legal landscape of my situation. He made me feel very comfortable talking with him. I was totally at ease. Equally important as his attorney/client manner, he showed a lot of experience as a lawyer. He clearly has a thorough understanding of the laws and realities affecting his area of practice. At the same time, he was able to frame things to me in clear, easy to understand guidance. I’m very happy to have consulted with him.

I had a two hour consultation with Mr. Lastra concerning my pending divorce and custody matter. I have multiple children with my spouse, including a stepchild from their previous marriage whose life I've been a part of since they were very little. Shortly into our meeting, Mr. Lastra asked me about my children and whether our relationship was biological, and then explained very compassionately that - unfortunately - if it were contested by either or both of their biological parents, he would not be able to guarantee me custody of or access to my stepchild as a de facto parent. He assured me that if he were representing me and I truly did want to pursue it against all odds that he would do everything in his power to help, but cautioned that it would likely be a long and costly uphill battle with an uncertain outcome. As heartbreaking as that was to hear, Mr. Lastra was the first lawyer to really prioritize and ask about my concerns for the children rather than choose to focus on my spouse and our finances and marital property. His honesty about that - the one outcome I care most about - gave me peace of mind that he wasn't just telling me what I want to hear to get me to sign his retainer. Additionally, while his consultation was not free, without my even having to ask, Mr. Lastra was extremely considerate of my budget. At the very beginning of the meeting, he verified the hourly rate that I had been quoted previously and told me how long his consultations with other people typically lasted. Then, every twenty minutes or so, he was kind enough to let me know how much billable time had elapsed and allowed me to set the pace of our discussion accordingly. Throughout the rest of our meeting, Mr. Lastra was both extremely inquisitive and educational. Rather than simply listen to my account of events, he engaged frequently, asking regular questions and taking notes. He also shared a wealth of his own knowledge, pulling from both general law and process as well as experiences gained from similar cases he'd handled in the past. During our consultation, I felt both well listened to and that I was speaking with an obvious expert. Prior to our meeting, I had discussed this matter with a few other lawyers, and while they were all quite professional and empathetic, none of them felt like they were being as realistic with me about the possible timelines, outcomes, costs, and the availability of themselves and their associates to adequately represent me and my family's interests as Mr. Lastra did. Though his rates are above average, my first impression from my consultation is that there is very good justification for it. He has absolutely earned my endorsement.

Our experience with Lindsey as our estate planning attorney has been wonderful. We met her by accident, when we initially sought to hire another attorney in her firm. When that attorney was unavailable due to illness, we reviewed the credentials of all firm attorneys and selected Lindsey. After our initial consultation, we knew Lindsey was the attorney for us. Through the entire process, she impressed us with her knowledge, honesty, positive attitude and patience as we asked a multitude of questions. We were happy to sign all our papers after a few months, and appreciate all that Lindsey did to get us to that point.

I was referred to Lindsey by a co-worker after the death of my mother. I had never had to go through the process of dealing with the administration of an estate/trust of a loved one and from start to finish the process was made so less stressful with Lindsey's knowledge and expertise in the area. I will never forget our initial conversation, she spent some time at the start asking about my mom (the person) which was such a comfort and I knew right away she was the right fit for me. She was always very responsive whenever I had a question or needed help figuring something out and always explained things in terms I could understand. We had a few complications along the way that she helped sort out that not only saved us a significant amount of money but time in settling the estate. She was professional and also very personable and I would definitely recommend her and would definitely hire her again if a need arose.

Meg was able to get my dying friend’s wife into the country to be by his side after other top attorneys told us it was impossible because of her immigration status. Meg had a thorough understanding of the law and how it applied to the case and was able to leverage her network to navigate the system and ultimately get the wife a Visa. The day we got the Visa it felt like a miracle after so many prior failed attempts. Never did we feel like Meg’s client. Instead we felt like Meg was our advocate who was emotionally and professionally vested in our case and fighting for us by our side throughout the process. Meg was our last hope and she delivered when no one else could!

Unfortunately my Mother passed away without having a Will or any of her Estate affairs in order. Prior to my mothers passing I had never handled an Estate before. I contacted a few attorneys but didn't feel they were the right fit for all of the complications pertaining to the Estate. Some attorney's weren't even willing to take it on. A neighbor of mine (who is an attorney) suggested that I contact Mr. Andre McDonald to handle my Mothers Estate. After our initial phone consultation, I knew immediately that he was the the right fit for all that needed to be accomplished. It was around the holidays. Mr. McDonald went above and beyond the typical duties that involve getting an Estate opened. He stayed involved and was on top of every aspect regarding the Estate throughout the entire process. He followed through with getting the Estate closed in a timely fashion. Mr. McDonald was very professional and knew exactly what to do and how to handle the Estate. He was always informative and reliable. Mr. McDonald always personally returned my phone calls and my emails in a timely manner. His staff was very pleasant and a joy to work with during a very hard time in my life. He kept me up to date on anything that needed to be done. He took the time to answer any questions or concerns that I had. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a challenge within itself but Mr. McDonald put my mind at ease. I felt comfortable and confident knowing that he was the attorney handling my Mothers Estate during a very hard and difficult ordeal. I highly recommend Mr. Andre McDonald for any and all of your Estate needs.

I wish that I had enough writing space to express just how competent and skilled Brian Loffredo has been with respect to my legal matter. Brian came to me as a highly regarded referral and I first reached out to him in the midst of a very busy holiday week. Even with that being the case, Brian returned my call immediately. I gave him a pretty tall order, which required a very quick turnaround. I requested that he review a franchise disclosure, document, as well as a franchise agreement within a very tight window of time. Not only did he execute the tasks with a very quick turnaround, but his analysis in reviewing those documents was nothing short of outstanding, I have found Brian to be very conscientious, detail oriented, results oriented and he took the time to listen - which was so important to me as his client. Again, during what was a very busy holiday week, he spent nearly 5 hours with me going through his copious notes and analysis. I would highly recommend Brian with respect to any legal matter. He is a consummate professional and I have truly appreciated his superior level of commitment to me, as his client. Without a doubt, retaining Brian was one of the best business decisions that I have made, as a franchise owner. I hope to make use of his legal services in the future because he was exactly what I needed in an attorney and he DELIVERED!

I was well informed of my progress and what was required of me -- and only to the extent needed so my costs were not run up.

They threw out documented proof of our write-offs. Don't go it alone. Victoria will work hard for you. She will fight to protect your rights. She will not let the IRS take advantage of you.

Jack is an outstanding attorney with deep experience in business and real estate. His rich knowledge of commercial law, strong business acumen, and keen understanding of individual motivations in each engagement are impressive. I've observed his skill set first hand in Jack's real estate (as lessee) and business (general corporate matters and transactions) work on our behalf. He keeps the key objectives squarely in focus yet ensures the necessary details are addressed. I have no hesitation in recommending Jack.

Among a number of matters that Jack has sorted out for us, one was particularly difficult. It involved a complex and unpleasant dismissal of a key employee. It required a clear-eyed legal strategy, challenging negotiation, management of egos, and a well-tuned balance between the legal objective and a cost-effective business approach. At every stage of the discussion, Jack provided just the right guidance to get us where we needed to go. He's got a first class head for business and the law.

Dan is the most ethical, knowledgeable and professional attorney. My wife and I are forever grateful to him for representing, supporting and guiding us through an extremely complex construction case. Dan has in depth knowledge about construction and all the issues related to it. He fought our case like it was his case from day one. Dan is patient, approachable, calculated, listens to his clients’ needs and strategizes his plan of action in the most thoughtful manner. From the day we met, he put us at ease, and we had his undivided attention through the end. He responded to our texts and emails almost immediately, and it’s his personal attention, care, dedication, intelligence that helped us through this case and situation. Dan is an expert in his field and is priced reasonable compared to other big firm attorneys we met. We met few other attorneys at large firms prior to meeting with Dan and they were not only expensive, they also stated the case would be handled by associate attorneys till it goes to trial. The resilience with which he litigates and makes an argument in the court room is compelling. We went through a three-day court hearing and the judge ruled in our favor on all counts. The truth and honesty is what Dan abides by not only in the court room but in his day to day life. He is an inspiration and a role model. We are truly blessed to know Dan and Madelon and are forever grateful for representing our case; our gratitude is beyond words. We cherish our relationship with Dan and feel that he is now part of our family as we have got to know him at a professional and personal level. Thank you, Dan, you are truly phenomenal! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Bern Solnik is a great lawyer and advocate for justice. He believed in me and put together a strong case. He really understands the legal system and helped me through every step of the process.

Mr. Solnik provided me with unprecedented support following several auto accidents. Mr. Solnik managed every aspect of my case including insurance claims, damages to my vehicle, rentals, medical coordination, and lost time and wages. The accidents were stressful and required physical therapy - it was such a relief not having to deal with lengthy phone calls with the insurance companies, medical bills, and paperwork. I appreciated Mr. Solnik’s services so I could focus on everything returning to normal. His Spanish skills also helped me clearly understand my case.

Christina played an huge role, in a life changing decision for me recently. My situation involved custody and child support issues. I've been dealing with my ex for a few years, and she was unwilling to give me joint physical custody, and even though my ex makes more money than me, she was still getting a substantial amount of money for child support from me. I searched for a decent lawyer, and low and behold I found a good one. Christina has great knowledge of the law system, she's very easy to talk with, and she is very organized. Thanks to Christina, I was awarded joint physical custody of my two daughters, and was able to obtain a peace of mind in the process. I would recommend Christina to anyone!

Child custody is never easy, especially when involving complicating circumstances. When I approached Mr.Cohn I was scared and a rattled mess. Mr.Cohn had an overwhelming wealth of knowledge and drive to help my case while being sympathetic to our circumstances. He worked diligently with me side by side every step of the way and was able to put me and my family at ease. He was able to break down all of the possible outcomes and explain them in a way I could understand while helping me find the best solution for our family! My experience, though traumatic for me, has been so wonderful thank you to Mr.Cohn and his diligence! I have and will continue to recommend Mr.Cohn to anyone looking for a lawyer with exponential knowledge and drive to bring a reasonable realistic outcome!!

Doug helped guide me through a very complicated custody battle against one of the big family law firms (Delaney McKinney) with both honesty and knowledge, and did it with the utmost efficiency and organization. My custody fight was much longer than I had anticipated but Doug explained each step of the process to me and allowed me to present the type of case that both fit my personality, my parenting style and my income. I wanted to both thoughtfully and firmly defend my rights as a parent, while making sure that during our year long trial, we always respected my spouse, and most importantly didn't do anything which could ever adversely effect my children. After a lot of trial preparation as well as a long trial, I felt good about the representation that was provided and about Dougs emotional support throughout the process. It's clear that his vast experience in, and knowledge of, the Family Court System, is one of the factors that makes him such an effective advocate and helped him win my case. I could not have gotten through it without him. While I know these factors would have been true even if we had lost our case, thankfully my custody case was yet another one which he won!

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?

  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
