Joseph Balisok is an excellent resource for legal help. I hired him to deal with my tax issues with the IRS and NYS. In addition to his expertise as a lawyer find him to be a very supportive "people person". His staff is also friendly and proactive with their communications and following up any loose ends.

Helene helped me with an incredibly complicated divorce. She is and immaculately organized, brilliant attorney, but also a woman and mom who has a kind and supportive heart. To have a good attorney I believe you need both; the emotional toll can feel harder than the financial toll. Helene supported me through both, while also getting me divorced! I would give her practice 10 stars if I could. Helene saw me at my worst and never stopped propping me up and pushing me to grow and be better. I came out of a horrible time in my life with a gut or iron, more self confidence than I ever thought I could have, and with my future solidly set up for my children. I can’t recommend her enough.

I can not sing high enough praise for Geoffrey and the work he did on my workers compensation case. My case was 6 years old and had been basically kicked aside from a previous attorney. Within a couple of months, he had a new hearing date and got everything set where it should be. And now, he settled it in less than a month for more than I asked for. If you need an attorney that will fight, win and truly care for your case, Geoffrey is the man! Schotter Millican, LLP returned every phone call, answered every question and truly made me feel like I was there only client. If I ever have another issue, Geoffrey Schotter will be my attorney.

In the event that one encounters any form of criminal charges, their life as they know it, no longer consists of daily liberties that they have long been accustomed to. The consequences of being arrested can result in convictions that promise long-term consequences. For example, if you have been charged with a crime, such as DUI, assault, weapon possession; car seizures and/or a property crime like home invasion; embezzlement and/or theft, a jail sentence is all but inevitable, unless, of course, you have retained JAY SCHWITZMAN to represent your criminal case. Over approx. 20 years, unfortunate circumstances have risen in my personal family that required the impeccable expertise of Jay Schwitzman. I can attest to a minimum of 15 cases that Mr. Schwitzman has tried that were destined for long term jail time but were ruled in the decision of ZERO JAIL TIME!

I cannot express my gratitude enough. Facing my charge, it would have endangered my license for my masters and my citizenship status. Jay looks into what your specific circumstance is and thinks ahead for any possible problems that may arise, thereby anticipating anything that would come up and working on my needs in advance. I got the best deal I could ask for and I would highly recommend Jay to anyone in a difficult situation. He is confident in what he does and makes you feel safe and secure.

He strategically work around the lies of the officer to prove this. Im forever greatful and will keep him retained cause of his skill and determination. If you value your freedom hire Jay.

Meredith is a sharp strategist who knows New York divorce law and the matrimonial courts cold. She worked smartly and quickly, was highly responsive, and pushed hard for me without sugarcoating the situation if the law didn’t favor me on an issue. Meredith guided me to the settlement that was best for me and my children, and I am very grateful. I only wish I had hired her sooner.

I received a letter from Pat Schaefer, he knew I was having financial difficulties and offered his assistance. This was a marketing letter looking for business and I was a bit wary. I thought about it and called his office two days later and made an appointment to meet with Pat. I met with him six days after receiving the letter and simply followed his simple instructions to help me file Bankruptcy Chapter 7 the next week. His office made things very easy and treated me like their client and always responded to my emails and questions. His prices were very fair, I did not know at the time, but since then have done my research and found his prices to be fair and well worth every penny! I loved working with Cathy N, his paralegal, she was knowledgeable and made everything easy to understand and simple. Pat is a great lawyer and if you are having financial difficulties, his free consultation will be well worth your time!

Let's face it. There are more lawyers in New York City than you can shake a stick at, but nine times out of ten you will meet attorneys who are disinterested, inept, burned out or simply looking for a way to make a quick buck. Mr. Levitsky is not one of them. In fact, he is not your typical Personal Injury attorney. He prides himself on achieving best results possible for his clients and does not give up if he is offered a settlement. He makes sure that his clients are satisfied and tends to do things that some "old timers" are not capable of doing. He is a fighter, a skilled negotiator and an attorney who genuinely cares for his clients. After an injury people are not the same, but Mr. Levitsky will make sure that you are restored close to the point where you were before. I say this as a client and not as a colleague of Mr. Levitsky. Mr. Levitsky is the only attorney I trust if I am ever injured.

My former wife and I worked with Joy after we decided to take the Mediation path for our separation. Our situation was simple in some areas, but remarkably complex in others. Joy helped us navigate the difficult parts with grace and wisdom, and actually helped us get through the easy parts with a measure of happiness that I'm sure is uncommon in these situations.

I explained to him my livelihood is on the line and that I needed a dismissal, not an A. C. D. . (Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal) . Romano assured me that he will work towards that outcome. His extensive knowledge of the law and his ability to work accurately with close attention to detail was very impressive to me.

Throughout the process, it was clear he is experienced and knowledgeable as he communicated each legal step to us. We didn't know much about real estate, yet he was helpful and patient no matter how small our questions were. It really made a difference having him on our side. Despite the pandemic resulting in delays and virtual communication, our closing took about an hour. I'm sure this can speak to his experience and preparation. Thanks again, Mark.

I used the services of LAW OFFICES OF MARK BRATKOVSKY several times already. Buying or selling a house could be a stressful experience but knowing that your attorney will have your interests in mind takes the pressure off it.  From the time I reached out to  MARK BRATKOVSKY, I knew I'm dealing with a superior attorney. He was responding to all our inquiries throughout the process by phone and email. The closing was a breeze as every little wrinkle was handled swiftly and proactively.  We couldn't be happier and felt compelled to share our experience.
