Anthony helped me nonstop through my journey of buying a coop apartment in New York City, dealing with one after another challenge, from closing time, tenant departure, to the dispute with my previous landlord.
I can't imagine I could have made this purchase happen without his responsive and empathetic support.
I highly recommend Anthony to others who are buying a new home in the city and I'm confident you'll be happy to choose him as your attorney.

She was the first public defender that met with me prior to the hearing. She was consistently on the ball. She kept me informed and did her homework. On my re-sentencing day for probation revocation she presented my case providing my mental health records and chemical dependency treatment files. At the time my probation officer recommended prison time. She cross examined him and highlighted areas where he was misinformed. she presented everything honest and black and white. She asked for my permission to share some of my history and struggles with the judge and warned me it would be very emotional. After many failed attempts at treatment and halfway houses she helped them see me as a human being and believed I could succeed at something I had given up on. I was prepared for prison time and she provided a ray of hope and last chance for redemption. If it weren't for her I my life would have turned out very different.

Meryl is an exceptionally strong attorney who goes above and beyond to protect her client's rights and deliver the results. I have retained Meryl because needed assistance with my real estate transaction. Meryl has provided me with the list of the options that were available and her professional advise let to success. Even though she is a high profile attorney who is exceptionally busy, she finds time for her clients and was even willing to come in at 7am in order to accomodate her client's schedule. It has been a real pleasure being able to work with such a great attorney.

Mr Romano defended me in a case where I was facing 15 years in prison. The family that I now have, I owe all to his tireless dedication and and focus to proving my innocence. I cannot thank you enough. I have served in the Marines and retired from the Army both honorably after fighting in Afghanistan. I wouldn't have been able to do anything without Mr Romanos defense. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to have a great life.

I hired Matt when I was buying a co-op apartment in Harlem. Since I was a first time buyer, I was constantly confused and nervous. Matt walked me through the whole process and was always very patient and responsive to all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him. It was a long process but he always gave me updates and great advice. I highly recommend him.

My wife and I have used Patrick for multiple real estate transactions in the last few years (both buying and selling). His attention to detail is very impressive. He will advocate for you to make sure your interests are protected.
Aside from his highly professional conduct, he has an excellent "bedside manner". He has a way of thoroughly explaining complicated legal documents and concepts without being condescending. He has consistently made our transactions significantly less stressful, knowing that we can trust him to handle everything so well. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate attorney.

At the start of my divorce process, I spoke to many divorce lawyers before connecting with Jessica Rothberg. It was difficult to find someone to trust in a time when you're completely emotionally exposed. Divorce is an emotional and traumatic experience and I wasn't finding the support I needed until I spoke on the phone with Jessica Rothberg. Instantly her compassion for my situation was comforting and she was understanding of my situation throughout the entire divorce process. Jessica Rothberg was there through the heartache and tears and was there until I found acceptance in divorce. Her kindness and support throughout the entire process ultimately fostered my moving forward with new beginnings. I am forever grateful for her support during one of the hardest moments in my life.

Mr. Klein is an extraordinary lawyer who achieved a terrific result in a case for me and my family, while providing real value for time and services he provides and fees he charges. I was facing eviction, and he immediately got that stopped. He answered the landlord’s petition extremely clearly, quickly and accurately. Mr. Klein is well known by the Judges and other attorneys in the field, and the threat of having to litigate with Mr. Klein is very credible, and allows one to obtain real concessions in negotiations. Mr. Klein was able to restore tenancy, and get me a verdict and credit to my favor. Most importantly, Mr. Klein is completely honest in his time charges and billings – he works very quickly and efficiently, and provides an accurate bill that reflects real value delivered for his services. I strongly recommend working with Mr. Klein. The result has been a stable residency for me and my family and tremendous peace of mind.

I hired Mr. Jennings for a case that was particularly horrifying to deal with. He was extremely accommodating and informative throughout the entire process and the consultations were more effective than speaking with a therapist when it came to putting my mind at ease about the entire situation. I would recommend him to anybody in need of solid criminal defense attorney you can trust.
