I met Benjamin back when I was an adolescent aspiring to be an attorney and he was my younger brother’s basketball coach. Ben’s family and mines would travel along side each other as our boys played travel basketball. We all bonded over meals and shared hotels. Ben supported my dreams and even let me tag along on his cases to experience the real deal. Who would know a decade later I’d need him to defend me, I was at the wrong place and wrong time. I ended in jail , and with 5 felony charges for a crime I did not commit. I was told I would get 3 years in prison and i was having a very hard time in jail that I ended up on suicide watch . Ben moved immediately, I was out of jail in 6 days because he vouched for me. He is a honorable man and to have him as an attorney would be in your best interest. He moves efficiently and effortlessly , I give him 5 stars and I HIGHLY recommend!!

I hired Ben at the recommendation of a friend to assist with my divorce. He was professional, savvy, and made the entire process so easy to navigate. I would use him again in a heartbeat and have already recommended his services to others who are in similar situations. The absolute best in Broome County!!!

Ben is phenomenal. He is someone you want on your side. He handled my divorce and custody case. He was straightforward, attentive and listened to my concerns, responsive when I sent him questions, and helped me develop several strategies to ensure my best interests were being represented. He isn’t afraid to fight on your behalf and do what needs to be done to stand up for his clients. He was able to get me everything I wanted (full custody) and even things I didn’t know I needed and wanted (a situation where I would be financially secure). He is clever, witty, excellent negotiator, clear skills in verbal and written communication, and thoughtfully strategic. I will be forever grateful for Ben—he helped me through one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with. I trust him completely.

Sometimes things happen in life and you need immediate help and guidance. Sometimes this need occurs at 4:00am in the early morning. We were beyond lucky that Tom Jackson personally answered the phone at that time. Not only was Tom understanding, comforting and reassuring, he jumped into action and was there to represent us in court at 8:00am. From that moment on, Tom was always available and either answered texts or calls almost immediately. Tom's knowledge of the Broome County legal system is unmatched. He knows the players and most importantly, knows how navigate the system. Tom kept us in the loop of every meeting, hearing or conference that was happening. When all was said and done, Tom got our case dismissed with the best possible outcome. To say that we recommend Tom Jackson is not enough. Tom is an honest, trustworthy and brilliant litigator. He is also one of the nicest and kindest people you will ever meet. I am overjoyed by our experience with Tom. Tom is the type of person you want to represent you and his kindness will help you through your hardest moments in life.

In Aug 2021 I was charged with a DWI and failure to keep right after falling asleep and hitting a tee. I only blew a .05, I wasn't driving while intoxicated I was driving while exhausted. I hired Tom to defend me and he got the DWI completely dropped due to lack of evidence and I pled guilty to the failure to keep right. This was huge because I have a CDL and my insurance company would have made me pay back the medical bills which I'm sure were enormous because I had surgery and spent 9 days in the hospital. Tom was also 1/3 of the price of another lawyer I called for the same exact service. I hope I never need him again but if I do he'll definitely have my business.

I met with Mr. Jackson approximately 1 year ago after an incident. Which led to my arrest. Mr jackson sat with me and listened to my side of the story, explained to me what he thought we should do and explained in detail, and over the course of the year, he followed through with everything he said he would. I am more than please with the help and service provided by Mr Jackson and the entire Jackson & Bergman firm.

Mine was a very complicated case, spanning several years. COVID-19 caused several delays, as did other forces beyond our control. It required both diligence within the system and patience with my mental and emotional states resulting from my injury. Bob provided these and many other outstanding traits. His strategic planning and preparation for the long, arduous trial was second to none. He persevered and we won my case! The outcome of which will entirely change the quality of my life from here on out! I trusted him with my future, and you can too.

I was in a car accident that required surgery and several years of physical therapy. I was pretty apprehensive about getting a lawyer involved since I'd never had need of one prior to this. I waited a couple of years before reaching out to Coughlin & Gerhart at a coworker's recommendation. And I honestly wish I did it sooner. Bob Jones got in contact with me soon after and helped me through everything. He listened to everything I had to say involving the accident, all the treatments I had gone through, what I was still going through, and how the injury has affected my life. He is extremely knowledgeable, explained everything in easy to understand ways, and gave me clear choices in how to approach the case. He took everything I said into account, developed a plan based on that, and got me a fair settlement. I highly recommend both Bob Jones, his team, and Coughlin & Gerhart.

When a motorcycle was allowed to fall on my leg and broken in two places by the driver, I filed a claim with Keith as my representative. I never spent a day in court, or doing anything that wasted my time or his. I hope to never need him for another injury claim, but I'd feel confident calling him again for that - or any other legal issue!

I have known Ken for the better part of 25 years. Our development company needed an expert Environmental lawyer for a difficult project. Ken was recommended to us as being such an expert. His knowledge in the field was superb! We did more and more with Ken as the need arose.He has gained a reagional reputation in his field in the Northeast. Often, I hear of him as being the "expert" in such matters concerning Environmental issues (which to many us is a moving target). Ken has kept up with the changing regulations and, most important, changing opportunites for incentives and grants available for development of Brownfield sites.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ken!

Laura was extremely professional. Jessica needs to work on her people skills. The Secretary's/Paralegals are really amazing. I always thought we needed to talk with the Lawyers, but the staff can answer most of your questions and if they can't, they'll get with someone who knows. Also, they're very upfront about the paperwork they need. My advice....get everything they need right away, if your having problems call them ASAP. They're really great at helping you think outside of the box.

Years ago I retained Atty Scanlon for a family law matter which he handled completely professional and without making empty promises. We "won" the case as well as a transfer of jurisdiction to another state which is incredibly difficult to do in case like I had. I am pleased to be writing this review as I am retaining him for a separate matter and have full confidence in his ability to resolve the case to our benefit. This is an attorney that is compitent and confident and clearly at ease in a courtroom.

Mr sheehan is a very honest man to be an attorney. He took a few cases for my family and myself. We won in all three of the cases. The last case he took me to another attorney and I won a large amount of money. Since then he has answered questions for our family and gave us advice. I would recommend him to anyone. If he can't handle the case he will tell you and try to refer you to another attorney.

Caroline was recommended to me after a bad car accident by an attorney who is a personal friend. She promptly visited us at our home and spent the morning getting details about not only the incident, but about us and our lives. She was kind and friendly. Her questions showed that she was an expert in these cases, and we hired her to represent us. From that point forward, she was unfailingly responsive to every issue that came up, especially medical bills and dealing with a difficult insurance bureaucracy. She handled all of the paperwork and reporting that was related to the accident. She always kept in touch and always responded promptly to us. We were impressed with and pleased by her work and by the settlement she obtained for us. We would absolutely hire her again if we needed legal representation.
