In 2019 my mom was in a car accident, I called Mr Andruzzi’s office immediately, and he gladly took the case. He was on top of the case keeping my mom updated with all that was going on. Within a year later he won it for my Mom and got her a nice settlement. I highly recommend Mr Andruzzi especially in this type of situation.

I first called Samantha a little over 8 years ago after my first child was born. I was a young single mom going to court for the first time in my life. I had no idea the first steps to take in filing for child support. I called Samantha and put everything in her hands. I never questioned or regretted my choice in doing so. She got me through the entire process so smoothly I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome my first go around. Fast forward a few years… I was pretty strapped for cash and needed to bring my sons father back to court to have the child support revised. Because I was alone with little money I called someone other than Samantha. It was the biggest mistake. The attorney I called dragged me through a almost two year miserable experience when it should have been a very easy and quick case. I was being ignored by the attorney and my case was dropped without resolution. I called Sam in a panic and explained everything I went through. We quickly got to working together again. She had the other attorney release me as his client and got to work on my situation/case. She was able to get it backed to the original filing date regardless of the last attorney dropping the ball. She fixed all of it and did it extremely fast! I just needed to go back for the third time in family court. This time my sons father wanted to pay less in child support. Again, Sam was quick to get the ball going and fought hard for my side and situation. The case was closed in what I felt to be a very fair situation for me. Samantha is a great attorney and works hard for her clients and never leads them in the wrong direction. She gives her advice and lets you know the reality of the chances of all situations. 10/10 recommend to anyone in need!

My divorce was not going well and I was feeling like I had been run through the wringer. Ms Gellman was so compassionate and understanding. She really helped put things into perspective and got me through to the end. So glad my friend recommended her.

Samantha was a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, experience and expertise in family law helped steer my divorce in the right direction. Her advice and guidance was invaluable, and she truly cared. The attention to detail made me feel like I was in good hands and I could finally sleep at night during the process. I'm so glad to have had Samantha by my side every step of the way, and am thrilled with the outcome of my case. Highly recommend!

i HIRED DEBRA A YEAR AGO TO REPRESENT ME IN AN ORDER OF PROTECTION CASE. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC WITH HER PRESENTATION TO THE COURT. SHE CAME INTO MY CASE IN THE MIDST OF HORRIBLE ACCUSATIONS, BUT WAS ABLE TO CLEAR MY NAME OF ANY ALLEGATIONS. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO GET AN ORDER AGAINST SOMEONE WHO FILED THE INITIAL OP, ANYONE CAN MAKE UP ANYTHING. IT'S JUST TOO BAD THAT THERE ISN'T A PUNISHMENT FOR SOMEONE WHO LIES ON OFFICIAL COURT DOCUMENTS. THANK YOU DEBRA, FOR BRINGING PEACE BACK INTO MY HOME.

Debra Berley was an absolutely horrible lawyer. If I could rate her 0 stars I would. I recently received a speeding ticket in Nassau County. I reached out to Ms. Berley after searching through all Long Island lawyers. Not only did she refuse to even meet with me to discuss the matter, but she also bypassed anything I told her I wanted to do with the case and took matters into her own hands after a countless number of emails to her. I hired her through my father's job, so it was evident she was going to be paid either way, regardless of how she handled my case. She waited until the day I was leaving the country on a volunteer trip (that she very well knew about) to let me know she went to court a few days prior and settled it without me, on terms that I did not necessarily agree with, knowing I could not do anything about it. She is a horrible, ignorant, and unsatisfactory "lawyer" and I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

extremely disappointing experience -it is clear that professionalism and courtesy are not Emily Ruben's priorities. She is consistently rude and dismissive, interrupting me frequently -She has a very condescending attitude-communication is a major issue for Emily Rubens.

Agree with all the other comments here. This woman doesn't deserve a degree practicing law. The way she speaks to people, the threatening emails, holding complaints and summons over peoples heads. I plan to give my doctors office a call and tell them what they've hired to deal with patients. Incredible rude, unprofessional, degrading, horrible
