Michael Dailey was my appointed attorney for 24 hours. He is the most unprofessional "white-collar" individual I have ever encountered in my life. The FIRST red flag was failure to contact me once assigned in a very time sensitive case. The SECOND red flag was when he did finally contact me, he told me he already spoke to opposing counsel and attorney for the child before getting back to me. I would think it would be prominent to speak to your client before anyone else, but I guess that's not the case here. THIRDLY, our 36 minute conversation was as if I was speaking to opposing counsel in a court room, instead of actually listening to his client of the history, which I found completely offensive since he entered into a 4 year case and based his thoughts on the most recent (exaggerated and fabricated) petition from opposing counsel. Then, he proceeds to tell me "to look him up" and he's a retired lieutenant after he fails to know the difference between harassment and assault in the third degree, and after he admits not knowing CPLR 321C. FOURTHLY, after I tell him via email I no longer need his services and wished him a happy new year, he forwards my email thread to the court, opposing counsel, and attorney for the child, completing violating attorney-client privileged information, Rule 1.6 in ABA, an Ethical Code that attorneys are to obey. A lawyer claiming 35 years of experience should be fully aware of basic ethical codes. The one positive that gave him one star? His behavior and this experience has made me realize if this guy's a lawyer, I can become one too. LSAT here I come.

Michael Dailey was our attorney for a custody case. He was proactive in fighting for our case. He is not, however, a "yes" man. He gave us straight advice, all the time. Mike explained legal tems and procedures in a way that was clear to my wife and I. I feel that Mike genuinely cared for us and for the outcome of our case. I would recommended him to anyone I know that is looking for an attorney. I was very pleased with my experience with Mike as my attorney.

The sheriff came to serve us at 9PM for family court. It was a restless night for all of us. I started googling at 6AM the next day, as you can imagine, all the lawyer’s officers are closed even the ones that states they are open 24/7. Most of the lawyer offices in my area open at 9AM, I noted that the Law Office of Nick M. Frisco open at 8AM. I held back until 8:02AM, it rings and rings and bang, Fatima, the paralegal answer. I explained we needed advice and counsel to navigate thru the court’s virtual world with this return of process emergency summons. Within, 20 minutes, Fatima put us in contact with Nick Frisco. We explained the situations and the expected outcome we were asking to get. He told us to provide a summary, get school records, medical records, letters from the teacher, etc. and accepted our case. Nick explained that we need to leave our emotion out, only speak when spoke to and maintenance a positive attitude. The hearing was the next day. During the hearing, Nick discussed the facts and merits of the case and the best interest of the children. The children mother kept changing her story about our arrangements. The judge reminded the children mothers about lying under oath.
Sorry for the long write-up but I wanted to explain our situations, the quick turn around and the sense of urgency.
I would strongly recommend the Law Office of Nick M Frisco for family court. In order has been issues so the children mothers will need to follow the courts order. Nick and Fatima are a great team and may a big difference on the outcome of our court.

My children's mother took my kids to a NYC Shelter in order to get a bigger apartment. She said I refused to give her my daughter when you has are listed in her HRA case. I hired Nick to fight my case and I will do it again within a heart beat. I am getting the kids back to our original agreement.

In the beginning of my custody case Mr. Frisco was asking me questions (and making statements) that made me wonder who's side he was on. For many months during the case, his communication in email and verbal was usually combative and condescending, and every time I spoke with him he tried to convince me to settle for what my petitioner was offering, and had no regard for how little time that would allow me to spend with my child. On the last day of the case, minutes before trial started, he argued with me and yelled at me in front of people in the waiting area- pulled a guilt trip on me for not agreeing to what was being offered, which I gave in to, and turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Do NOT hire Nick Frisco, and if he is appointed by the Court, I strongly recommend that you request a different attorney.

Lisa took my case, but did very little work on it.... It was scheduled for May and she said she contacted the secretary to get it postponed until July, so that we could have more time to prepare. Surprisingly, I get a call from her saying we are going to court tomorrow (May)...and NOT in July.... She wasn't prepared and needless to say I wasn't either....
Bad representation.

My family and I have been waiting for four years. They took our money and since then we didn’t hear back from them. I’ve called all the numbers associated with the office, no one is able to provide me with any information nor are they able to transfer me to Julie.
For you and your family’s sake find someone else who will treat you and your family with respect and take into consideration your time.
Also, before you pay them anything make sure they give you Julie’s phone number or the manager’s number. Not the office number. They are very useless when it comes to transferring messages to Julie or provide useful information.

On a daily basis I saw many of Kofi's victims come through the airport and I'd ALWAYS give them advice to drop him ASAP. The ones that got caught with denied I-130's, I am sorry. Please spread the word about him to all of your friends and family who might be clients of his or his colleague, Sylvester Boateng, as they are both into this similar scheme. The following link is the good news of his guilty plea AND it has a link to possibly and hopefully get your money back via his restitution payment. Good luck all

In 2016, someone referred KOFI to us. We started the immigration process ok, the i130 was approved. We decided to continue the second part and that’s when it all started, he filed the wrong immigration form and told my husband that he had his appointment for his visa interview in our home country when in reality, he filed the wrong form and almost had my husband leave the US without the proper documentation. Everytime we called, he was never available and Dora was the one always covering for him. We asked for our money back and were always ignored. I sent emails to them, and tried to file a complaint against him back in 2019. Til this day, we never heard back from them and we have lost many years trying to do the right by USCIS.

I had been recommended the firm of Altman & Altman by one of my clients, who insisted that this firm was timely and professional in their earnest recommendation. My client had even stated them to be a “pro-real estate agents” firm that would put forth an honest and uttermost effort to assist their clientele, and after my experience I can only conclude that my friend must have unfortunately confused their assistive firm with this one. Yet, in my experience, this firm seemed to be concerned with the matter of my payment transference first and foremost, and customer service was a distant afterthought. Not only did I have to facilitate any kind of interaction with the firm on my behalf, but I was always reliably let down and at least mildly upset with every interaction with the firm.
The representative that answered the phone goes by the name Suzy (receptionist) always conducted herself in a terse and distant manner, and the customer service I had received during this transaction was unsatisfactory and hollow. The appointments that were scheduled by the firm were always with the priority of fitting it ‘neatly’ in to the firm’s schedule, with little to no consideration of my own. There was rarely a time when I was able to have any of these meetings in a condition satisfactory to my needs, and I was typically frustrated at every ‘result’ that occurred.
The point of my transaction was for closing the deal, a costly process and business that can’t afford constant delay and miscommunication. The irregularities in the scheduling of our meetings, including the terse atmosphere I was often presented with, lead to conclusion that I was not entirely convinced couldn’t have been handled more properly elsewhere. At first believing this to simply be a gross oversight and dire miscommunication, I had attempted to contact the office numerous times to express my confusion.
What had started as a big misunderstanding quickly revealed itself to be an issue of miscommunication that plagued our relationship and soured the transaction. Instead of being treated with the tailored and specialized care that I had been recommended to them with, I felt more like my request had been “processed”, and that I had simply become a ‘number in a ledger’ to them, without the personal attention I had honestly expected from our initial agreement. Outraged by the overall handling of my affairs, and the conclusively negative results that I had endured, it convinced me that the least I could do was post a warning so others won’t fall to the same unsatisfying end as I did.
It was to my disheartened surprise to find a cautionary warning from their office, claiming that attempting to conduct business and right these wrongs were “harassment to the persons of their office”, and had since been requested to cease before legal action had been taken. This reactionary response to my explicit requests for more time with the legal team has threatened me not only financially, but now approaching legal measures. I simply seek to warn anyone who seeks to do business with them that they should proceed with caution.

wanted and willing to purchase a condo at 327 Admiral Lane in the Bronx. This was really a waste of time and money from beginning to end. Mr. Altman was the seller's attorney and I would not deal with any transaction that has his name. it was a back and forth between him and my lawyer for a "Willfull Default" a word on the contract of sale and condo violation and he ended up returning my check for the downpayment and deal was cancelled. Thank you God deal was cancelled because the property went for sale before and was put on the market again God knows what reasons. 2 deals cancellation for the same property within 2months.

Very family friendly and well spoken and always motivated. His self motivation exceeds beyond expectations. He’s the right man and right person for all things litigation. He helped me in everything and how to move forward in life. Truly a hell of a lawyer.

She doesn't follow through on her cases. My divorce is still not finalized after 4 years. She attempts to work with the defense to "get the case over with she has other clients". There were no children involved. I was on the deed of our home in NC. I had to pay a man who makes over 110,000 a year and I had to give up my car. Save your money and time.

read the other review and am quite surprised and frankly suspicious. We hired this attorney for a closing and things got very difficult through not fault of his. He exceeded out expectations and did not over charge us at all. He pulled our family through a very diffiicult time. He was responsive, courteous and got us fantastic results. Yes I would definitely recommend him for not just closings but more complicated real estate matters.

Anytime there was any contact, I initiated it. Went three months without returning phone calls or text messages. Then on the very last day of the statutory limitation of serving the other party, he mailed out a letter stating he was no longer my lawyer because "it wasn't beneficial" to pursue my case. Don't understand how since I got my file from his office and he did NOTHING in six months. Worst so called professional I have ever encountered.

Started off great. Eight years later I have been through hell - begging for return calls, information. Got so bad his receptionists tried to sneak any info to me they could get. Personal matters take precedence offer even scheduled legal appointments. Depositions are cancelled. I have yet to have one taken.
It has dragged on so long, I no longer have the option to secure representation elsewhere.
I'm beginning to think he just uses me as a tax write-off. He claims all kinds of legal things are being done, but never shows me evidence of anything.

If I had the choice, I would NOT give this lawyer any stars. I don't know how this woman got a law license. She's a total slimeball. She didn't return my phone calls or calls to my husband's lawyer regarding my case. This would have been nice so my divorce could have been settled faster if she'd done ANY work. She never seemed to know what was going on with my case. She missed important deadlines from what I understood of what happened when we were in Court. I never recommended her to anyone after my fiasco of a divorce. I'm not sure how she got appointed to a position in government. I have no faith in her or our legal system.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:
-
What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case. -
How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses. -
What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience. -
What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
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. -
How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times. -
What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness. -

Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations. -
Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.
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:
-
Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. -
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. -
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association. -
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction. -
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation. -
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. -
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:
-
Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence. -
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties. -
List of Questions:
Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience. -
Financial Information:
If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements. -
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case. -
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid ID for verification purposes. -
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points. -
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. -
