Mr. Vojdani is a spectacular lawyer and an amazing human being. He managed to help us out with an urgent and an unexpected situation with a property. He took the time to talk to me over the phone and I was able to meet with him the next morning. I chose to work with him after contacting 12 other real-estate attorneys and realizing that they have no clue how to help. He is prompt, efficient, caring and honest. It's very rare to find an honest attorney nowadays but he is truly one of a kind and a true gem. He resolved my multiple issues in a very creative and time efficient manner. I'm truly grateful that I found him and I will definitely work with him again if I need help. I highly recommend him!

Following a distressing car accident, I sought the expertise of Carpenter and Zuckerman, grappling with the aftermath of sustaining multiple injuries and the total loss of my vehicle due to another driver's blatant disregard for a red light. Amid my upheaval, I remembered a friend's characterization of Paul Zuckerman as a "Super Tough, yet approachable figure with a generous heart and a distinctive New York Attitude." Their esteemed reputation, I discovered, is indeed well-earned.
In the aftermath of a serious accident, one needs more than mere legal representation; one requires a steadfast advocate who not only tirelessly champions your cause but also deeply values your well-being. From the moment I stepped into their office, the sense of being in capable hands was immediate. Despite the firm's acclaim and their distinction as "Super Lawyers," Paul Zuckerman personally offered his guidance, radiating confidence and solace.
Right from our initial conversation, I was thoroughly convinced of Carpenter and Zuckerman's commitment to securing the comprehensive compensation I rightfully deserved. Paul's assurance of having a committed team in my corner was exemplified not just in words but in action, particularly by Gabriela, who emerged as an unwavering pillar of support; Ivy Callahan, the Department Director of the Lien Department, who was exceptional in swiftly finding an alternative MRI center, securing an appointment in real time, and seamlessly managing the billing and scheduling details; and Anastasiya, the lien negotiator, who worked tirelessly to ensure my medical bills were negotiated down to the bare minimum. The results of her efforts were beyond my expectations, showcasing the depth of commitment and skill within the team.
As my recovery and the legal challenge progressed, Zuckerman and Carpenter assertively confronted the defendant's insurance company, striving for the highest compensation possible. Despite their initial insufficient offer, Paul Zuckerman's steadfast confidence instilled patience in me. His belief in the firm's expertise imbued me with profound trust.
Carpenter and Zuckerman's formidable prowess was unmistakably demonstrated, compelling the insurance company to acknowledge their disadvantage against such a tenacious legal force. In a matter of weeks, they conceded to the demanded settlement amount, a testament to the firm's vigorous advocacy recognized by all.
Under Paul Zuckerman's leadership, Carpenter and Zuckerman operate with unmatched precision and resolve, mirroring a well-coordinated force dedicated to securing justice for their clients, akin to a seasoned general leading a disciplined infantry into battle.
Reflecting on my journey with Carpenter and Zuckerman, it evokes the pinnacle of service excellence, Patrick Mahomes' indomitable spirit, Einstein's intellectual dominance, and the fierce determination of a charging bull. I am profoundly grateful to the entire team, including Anastasiya and Ivy Callahan, for transforming what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a seamless journey of support and resolution.
Moreover, even after securing my settlement, the firm maintained frequent updates, ensuring clarity on the progress of my disbursement with comprehensive messages that eliminated any doubt about the status of my case. My heartfelt appreciation extends to Carpenter and Zuckerman for their exceptional service, unwavering dedication, and the continuous, transparent communication that guided me through this journey.

My car was rear ended, aggravating a bulging disc. Carpenter & Zuckerman set up all my doctor appointments and paid for everything up front. They were able to get me a settlement for both my injury case and property damage case. I am very happy with the way they handled my case.

Carpenter & Zuckerman team was very helpful and informative. Especially Edward Cherkezian and Disha Bhagwat. This was my first time doing any of this and they helped me through step by step. Would recommend!

Sadly I must review my experience with this law firm. There appears to be MANY negative reviews with similar complaints regarding this firm, too many actually and date back over a decade. Check for yourself on Google, Yelp, BBB, Pissed Consumer and other sites. Hindsight, I should of used the clinic at the courthouse that offers assistance with legal matters. This has been the most devastating burden in our life and based on our experience and opinion it appears to point in the direction of recurring issues that resonates with other posted negative reviews.
I can offer some constructive consumer feedback to help protect the public before hiring an attorney. (FYI: The information below is available for public consumption)
*Check the State Bar Website. DONOT hesitate to use it to follow up with a bad experience.. It's the insurance to protect the public and defer misconduct and unethical behaviors. Its success hinges on the public's help.
*The State Bar Client Security Fund may be of assistance due to an attorneys dishonesty.
*Check the attorneys business information on the Secretary Of State website. This is a Tall Tale if you understand their procedures and codes.
*Attorney cases can be reviewed at the court house.
*Review your billing within 5 days and if you see any issues (such as: is the retainer fee depleted without any completed work) inquire in writing immediately! The billing practice should not be "creative and collaborative " immediately start to make notes on the bills and DOCUMENT DOCUMENT. Save all correspondence, invoices and statements. If threatened with severing of representation over billing questions: STOP DROP AND ROLL...
*READ the contract, it may seem ok on the face.... is it UNBALANCED to the unsuspecting?
*Maintain a call log.
*Note "complimentary services" then bill you ( court reminders which by the way are generated by the court for free).
*Free consultation, then bill you. Give your head a shake.
*DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
*It's important for every consumer to help protect the public with hopes that law firms have significant insight to their oath and professional responsibility. If you suspect foul play due to indiscretions meet and confer with the District Attorneys Office.
One more thing: "we treat you like family" it's a cliche. ("A cliché is an expression, idea, or action that has been overused to the point of seeming worn out, stale, ineffective, or meaningless" )
I hope this finds you

I’d contacted William’s office this past Sunday, fully understanding that perhaps I may not get a callback until the next business day. My goodness, I was so shocked and thrilled to get a callback from William within just a couple of hours! Our friends were at the airport ready to fly home when they were taken away by TSA agents and we couldn’t understand why. William took down pertinent information and immediately got to work. I could tell he was working tirelessly to get answers because his communication skills were beyond amazing. I didn’t have to worry about not hearing from him at all. Happy to say that my friends are back home without any issues. I’m truly grateful for William’s hard work and dedication for my situation. He’s now saved as my favorite in my phone. I can’t recommend William enough. His knowledge, resources, and experience alone makes him the only lawyer I’d ever need. Highly recommend!

Attorney Hossein Berenji helped me a lot in my divorce case. He guided me through the documents in detail about child custody and the divorce itself. He is an expert divorce lawyer and always thinks as a family man himself of what is the best for the child.

Finding Joni was a God send! Literally!! I heard her commercial on the radio and wrote her phone number down. A year later, when I decided I needed a lawyer, I couldn’t find her number so I prayed about it. The next day I got in my car driving home from work and her commercial came on the radio! I pulled over in my car and immediately called her and was able to speak with her. I made my appointment and met this wonderful, intelligent, compassionate woman who understood what I was going through, and what I needed to do. Joni not only helped me through the most desperate time in my life, but also became my friend. She was always there for me answering any of my questions, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning. I would describe Joni as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She looks so sweet but she is fierce and gets the job done!! She knows how to handle opposing lawyers, her knowledge of judges and the court system is remarkable. She lead me away from a certain court that was convenient and close to me to make sure I got the best judge. She was ALWAYS PREPARED! She fought for me and the result was beyond what I had ever imagined. Because of Joni, I am financially secure and have a new career, home and peace of mind. I would recommend Joni to anyone who is going through a painful situation, not only for her knowledge of the law but…. She is compassionate and understanding ♥️

Finding Joni was a God send! Literally!! I heard her commercial on the radio and wrote her phone number down. A year later, when I decided I needed a lawyer, I couldn’t find her number so I prayed about it. The next day I got in my car driving home from work and her commercial came on the radio! I pulled over in my car and immediately called her and was able to speak with her. I made my appointment and met this wonderful, intelligent, compassionate woman who understood what I was going through, and what I needed to do. Joni not only helped me through the most desperate time in my life, but also became my friend. She was always there for me answering any of my questions, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning. I would describe Joni as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She looks so sweet but she is fierce and gets the job done!! She knows how to handle opposing lawyers, her knowledge of judges and the court system is remarkable. She lead me away from a certain court that was convenient and close to me to make sure I got the best judge. She was ALWAYS PREPARED! She fought for me and the result was beyond what I had ever imagined. Because of Joni, I am financially secure and have a new career, home and peace of mind. I would recommend Joni to anyone who is going through a painful situation, not only for her knowledge of the law but…. She is compassionate and understanding ♥️

I love Makkabi Law Group for one reason and one reason only. For the first time I feel heard. Every other lawyer I spoke to gave me the vibe that I was just a number and they only wanted my money. But not here. From the first time I spoke to Jonah I knew I was being taken care of as if I was a family member. Thank you Jonah for everything.

Sadly I must review my experience with this law firm. There appears to be MANY negative reviews with similar complaints regarding this firm, too many actually and date back over a decade. Check for yourself on Google, Yelp, BBB, Pissed Consumer and other sites. Hindsight, I should of used the clinic at the courthouse that offers assistance with legal matters. This has been the most devastating burden in our life and based on our experience and opinion it appears to point in the direction of recurring issues that resonates with other posted negative reviews.
I can offer some constructive consumer feedback to help protect the public before hiring an attorney. (FYI: The information below is available for public consumption)
*Check the State Bar Website. DONOT hesitate to use it to follow up with a bad experience.. It's the insurance to protect the public and defer misconduct and unethical behaviors. Its success hinges on the public's help.
*The State Bar Client Security Fund may be of assistance due to an attorneys dishonesty.
*Check the attorneys business information on the Secretary Of State website. This is a Tall Tale if you understand their procedures and codes.
*Attorney cases can be reviewed at the court house.
*Review your billing within 5 days and if you see any issues (such as: is the retainer fee depleted without any completed work) inquire in writing immediately! The billing practice should not be "creative and collaborative " immediately start to make notes on the bills and DOCUMENT DOCUMENT. Save all correspondence, invoices and statements. If threatened with severing of representation over billing questions: STOP DROP AND ROLL...
*READ the contract, it may seem ok on the face.... is it UNBALANCED to the unsuspecting?
*Maintain a call log.
*Note "complimentary services" then bill you ( court reminders which by the way are generated by the court for free).
*Free consultation, then bill you. Give your head a shake.
*DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
*It's important for every consumer to help protect the public with hopes that law firms have significant insight to their oath and professional responsibility. If you suspect foul play due to indiscretions meet and confer with the District Attorneys Office.
One more thing: "we treat you like family" it's a cliche. ("A cliché is an expression, idea, or action that has been overused to the point of seeming worn out, stale, ineffective, or meaningless" )
I hope this finds you

I’d contacted William’s office this past Sunday, fully understanding that perhaps I may not get a callback until the next business day. My goodness, I was so shocked and thrilled to get a callback from William within just a couple of hours! Our friends were at the airport ready to fly home when they were taken away by TSA agents and we couldn’t understand why. William took down pertinent information and immediately got to work. I could tell he was working tirelessly to get answers because his communication skills were beyond amazing. I didn’t have to worry about not hearing from him at all. Happy to say that my friends are back home without any issues. I’m truly grateful for William’s hard work and dedication for my situation. He’s now saved as my favorite in my phone. I can’t recommend William enough. His knowledge, resources, and experience alone makes him the only lawyer I’d ever need. Highly recommend!
