I had the option of many top lawyers to work with for filing my naturalization application and preparing for my interview but choose Kathy as she goes the extra mile for her clients and her rates are quite reasonable. She gave me ample time and was very thorough with my application. She’s responsive and keeps you informed of your status and important dates. I appreciated her encouragement and legal support during a difficult time. I highly recommend her services based on my experience.

I hired Kathy Polias in 2014 for a paternity proceeding asking for a civilly registered parentage judgment and DNA test because it was required for recognition in the country I lived with my son. Kathy made a private stipulation of support deviating below CSSA that is not even enforceable in NY State and obtained a common law order of filiation that is also not considered valid by NYS. The nonjudicial orders were not confirmed by a judge, I was not even joined or served with the documents. My son has had no right to child protective services in the 9 years I have been requesting them, CPS does not afford credibility to unregistered parentage orders. Kathy believes she did her job and says she can’t provide more assistance when I asked her to obtain confirmation from a judge. She believes common law documents of filiation that are never confirmed by a judge are valid. She believes orders of support after order of filiation can be unregistered and enforced in private meetings with no state or judicial oversight.
she deems to believe that children born out of wedlock are not entitled to have civil rights in civil records. She appeared at the first fearing but the case was never overseen or confirmed by a judge, so technically there was no parentage trial. I was not joined and Paternity requires personal appearances or both parties to execute a single signed original document to meet requirements for the software to permit a stipulation to be transmitted. A family court judge could’ve issued an order, but since 2014 UCCJEA, paternity is a custody proceeding so support for a child born out of wedlock requires a judge to confirm and electronically transmit final judgment then refer matter of support back to a magistrate after the electronic record has been established in the state.
Kathy believes magistrates can be vested with power of a judge to make final judgments when custody is disputed. The software does not follow common law precedent so no orders establishing my son’s rights have ever reached the state officials.
The birth certificate says father unknown, after 9 years trying to obtain enforcement of the deals Kathy made.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary Grace will belittle, berate, and make you feel so insignificant that she talks down to all her clients. I am one of 3 with a bad experience with her. People gave up because everything with her takes forever!!! She loves going to trails and constantly asking for money. She dodges calls and pretends she is in court. She has been virtual and not busier than any other attorney. She is disgusting in her tone and mannerisms. She also will never go ahead and file anything in favor of a man and also will continue to dodge things she knows she could be doing. NEVER hire this woman- she's a scam artist and is always ready to put a lien on your house because she loves going to trial. She will adjourn and adjourn and adjourn to get to a trial. She knows the judges and is friendly with the entire LGBTQ community and is pro them and pro women! She does not want anyone to get on with their lives. She's a thief! WORST ATTORNEY EVER!

Ms. Condellos team fit me in for a last minute appointment and took the time to walk me through what would happen during my consultation. Ms. Condello listened to my story and informed me she could not practice in New Jersey but she was very knowledgeable and direct. She told me what to expect from NJ system and sent me in the right direction which helped more than I realized - thank you Ms. Condello!

Melanie was quick to review, support and apply for disposition per requirement where other lawyers even failed to take time to understand the situation. Reasably priced she took her personal time to follow up on our behalf. Working with her from overseas (dubai) she was patient, considerate and we got our formalities done. Kudos. Gracias. We sincerely appreciate her effort.

I hired Melanie in 2010 to defend a simple speeding ticket. I had no other offenses, and no points on my license. Melanie's efforts yielded no reduction in points, nor any reduction in fees. EXACTLY the same result I would have achieved if I had kept the $1,000 I wasted on Melanie's fee & pleaded guilty. I have no idea what she did to inspire the judge to be so unyielding, and Melanie refused to give me any account of the trial. There are no guarantees in court, but she behaved in what I consider to be a highly unprofessional manner afterwards, refusing to talk to me and denying that she was a recent grad with little experience. I regret hiring her, and hopefully she has learned her craft better by now, but I'd advise against hiring her for anything important.

When I spoke with them they said they aren’t taking new cases. Why would you tell my city council woman’s office your interest in my case and then not take it?

Laura and her entire team are absolute rock stars. Laura was the lead attorney on my EB1 case. She was consistently extremely clear and direct in her communication, making a complex area extremely accessible, but always kind, compassionate and empathetic at the same time - with an awareness of the logistical and emotional stakes for all of us. She is a ferocious advocate for her clients, with a real 'get the job done' mentality, and a great deal of care over getting the details right as well as keeping us apprised of the big picture and the significance of developments. Her associate LT was awesome in terms of the support she provides and her shared understanding of how to translate Laura's values into action as well as her eagle eye for detail.
I would recommend Laura and her firm to anyone who has immigration needs because of this truly unique combination of strategic expertise, organizational rigor and emotional intelligence. This firm will show up for you in your case like no-one else.

Howard is such an excellent and very experienced attorney who is great at what he does - defend your rights. One of the best that I've ever had to retain. When I first reached out to Howard to discussed the matter, it was quickly clear to me that he is very knowledgeable about the laws and discussed a strategic plan of action for me. I could sense he was a great fit for me and would do his best to help resolve the matter. He was always available to answer my calls, both day and night and even weekends. He was always helpful with answer any questions I had, with clearing any confusion and really helped to just calm my fears. He did not bill and nickel &dime me for every minute of his time spent like most other attorney's/firms do. He allowed me to shadow him in a criminal case he was Counsel to and I learned so much from him. In Howard fashion, he knew how to navigate the court/justice system to get the matter resolved as soon as he possibly could. I highly recommend Howard to anyone looking for an experienced and straight forward attorney who will get you results!

I would like to say that Mr. Howard Greenberg is one of the most compassionate and understanding attorney I have ever dealt with. He is very thorough straight to the point, and worth every cent. My son got arrested, and Mr. Greenberg came through so fast and explained the process step-by-step. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great criminal attorney!

Mr Greenberg while representing my son on serious charges and cross examining witnesses was outstanding! Everyday leaving that courtroom we felt very satisfied with his ability to pick out the inconsistencies in testimonies given as well as his ability to challenge prosecutors. Hiring him was the best decision we made.

Lance Lazzaro is a great lawyer. He got my case dismissed, I would highly recommend him. He was attentive to my case, professional, and truly the best at what he does. Without the help of the entire Lazzaro Law firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Lance took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Lance as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a Lazzaro Law client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

If I could leave zero stars I would. My date of accident was 7/28/18, the offices of Belushin law firm reached out to me to handle my case, came to my chiropractors office and everything to meet me. After completing therapy, I reached out to them multiple times over the course just to get an update and was told that they were still in the negotiation process with the insurance company and that they will be reaching a settlement soon. Fast forward to September 22, 2020 over 2 years later of going back and fourth with them, I receive a letter saying they’re not going to pursue and that I should seek another lawyer. OVER TWO YEARS LATER ??? Like what is the point now, after I sustained injury and left my case i their hands, I am left with now trying to find another lawyer and as per Belushin it would be best that it’s within 3 years of my accident. They have now only left me with a couple of months until I reach the limits of my accident. DISGUSTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL!! I do not recommend AT ALL. I’m so disheartened by this.

I have nothing but good things to say about this lawyer and his office. Another lawyer rejected my case so my friend who had a case with Belushin office before gave me his info. The old layer said my injuries werent serious even though I was in pain all the time. Belushin send me to shoulder specialist who was REALLY GOOD. I think he worked with some football teams and stuff before. The Doctor told me I need surgery as soon as possible. After surgery Mr. Belushin found me a physical therapy office 3 blocks from my house. It was a nice office where the people were nice and the doctors knew their stuff. Last week I got my money which was wayyyyyyyyy more than I thought it could be especially since I almost gave up when the other lawyer told me I didnt have a case. GOOD JOB BELUSHIN OFFICE!!!!!!
