Joy was our mediator for both the pre-nup and divorce processes—and through it all, she was kind, caring, thorough, and efficient. Joy makes sure both parties are well taken care of, in every sense. We are super lucky to have worked with her through our relationship. Thank you, Joy!

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 know mediation isn't for everyone, but I think if more people took this route before going to lawyers, and specifically to Joy, they would save a mountain of heartache.

I've just begun a civil litigation for medical malpractice and in the first and only meeting that we had I found Mr Karasik erudite, personable and highly informative.

Words can't describe how happy I am that I used Mr. Perskin. I was in a pretty gnarly situation (to say the least) and from the moment we met, he showed immense confidence, listened to me, and fought super SUPER hard for me. It was a relief and gave me so much satisfaction to see how much he got my back (which i didn't have previously). His communication was A+ and in the end I was able to avoid a trial because of him. He kept me honest, managed my expectations, and also i really loved working with his son Jared, that dude is GOING PLACES! I will recommend Brian to everyone and also has an awesome book! thank you thank you!!

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.

JT was awesome! He helped my healthcare business receive funds we were owed that the insurance company was holding for no reason! He was persistent and always had an open direct line of communication. He values your opinion and runs things by you before and explains his reasoning and best course of action. In addition to that he was incredibly nice and fair (super rare for an attorney lol). I really felt that he had our best interest at heart. Great attorney and a great human being as well.

David is the second attorney we consulted and hired to represent us in dealing with a developer building next to our property. While the other lawyer was dismissive of our dilemma, Dave always made himself available to speak with us, and listened to our concerns. He sorts out the important elements and then offers legal and practical advice to the issues at hand. He definitely have the client's interest in mind. His fees are also very reasonable. We've recommended him to everyone in need of a real estate attorney.

Recently reached out to David with my NYC real estate matter after trying a few other lawyers. While the others were either dismissive of my situation or difficult to reach after the first consultation, Dave always made himself available to speak with me. He quickly sorted out the important elements and then offered both legal and practical advice which netted a very positive conclusion. His fee was very reasonable. We'd definitely use him again.

I went to Alfred Polizzotto Esq. for an estate matter involving litigation, 2 complex real estate transactions which involved a lot of money numbers that changed as bills were paid out on the real estate. The first day I went in to his office I felt comforted that the complex issues could be resolved with his calmness in handling and creating excel spread sheets to organize the 2 real estate transactions, private mortgage money, and bank accounts. He was extremely organized, great with computers, awesome in math, and extremely knowledgeable with the laws on all matters. He gave me a list of what documents to bring him. I had to Order 15 years of bank statements and checks. Once I gave him the copies. He put it all on to excel spread sheets. Then he called the estate attorney and told the attorney his demands for me. In the end everything Mr. Polizzotto asked for I received from the estate. Not one item did I lose because he knew how to litigate and apply real estate law and estate law to the facts at hand. I would not use any one else for law matters. He also worked Professionally with the opposing lawyer and the uncooperative executor. He’s a family oriented lawyer and treats such matters with delicacy and respect.

1. My wife and I are both over eighty. During the pandemic, instead of having us go to his office in Brooklyn, Mr. Polizzotto met with us close to our home on Long Island to discuss our case.
2. Mr. Polizzotto and his staff (Liz) always returned our email within twenty-four hours.
3. After we gathered all our original documents, we were not sure if we should mail to his office or hand deliver it. Mr. Polizzotto personally picked it up from our home, after a whole day's work and rush hour traffic in the dark!
4. When a clerical error was discovered in our application, Mr. Polizzotto redid the entire package himself!
5. Mr. Polizzotto always answered our questions with patience, clarity, reassurance, and in layman's terms so we could understand.
6. Mr. Polizzotto submitted our case on March 1st. It was approved by May 1st. Highly efficient!
7. It's been an unforgettable experience working with Mr. Polizzotto!
He is truly a superior professional!

I hired Mr. Polizotto for assistance with elder law planning. It was clear that Mr. Polizzotto was intimately familiar with the nuances of this area of law. He knows how to structure a plan to ensure that the many interests of the client are well represented. He created a plan that included a trust to conserve assets and maximize tax advantages, aid in Medicaid qualification, and ensure favorable transfer of estate assets. Mr. Polizotto did not need to check the law when I had a question; he knew the law.
I also hired Mr. Polizotto to assist with Medicaid hearings where the government was seeking to reduce benefits to a family member. We won the decision.
In addition, I hired Mr. Polizotto in connection with the sale of a property. His real estate office is a well-oiled, efficient, professional machine.
I highly recommend this seasoned lawyer.

I highly recommend working with Mark Bratkovsky and his team. We were first-time home buyers in NYC and Mark helped us through the legal aspects of purchasing a condominium in Brooklyn.
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 look forward to working with you on a future purchase.

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.

We came to Jamie with a plan for our new AI-based business and a lot of legal questions that we needed help with. Jamie took the time to thoroughly understand our goals and challenges, providing tailored guidance every step of the way. Working on a flat-rate basis, they created our new entity – setting up our corporation with the necessary articles and bylaws, getting our EIN, and wrote all of the key policies and agreements that we needed for our platform. They also helped us structure our founding team properly by handling stock issuance, drafting a shareholders’ agreement, and ensuring our IP was assigned correctly, and helped us raise the first round of funds we needed. Thanks to Jamie and his team, we’re set up for success and ready for our Seed Round. If you’re building a startup and need a legal team that truly understands founders, I can’t recommend them enough.

Renata Landskind has been my family counsel for just about 17 years. When I first met Renata, she was handling a lawsuit for my great aunt. Since that time Renata was always my go-to attorney in any of my legal matters. She is consistently knowledgeable, professional, pleasant, kind, patient, responsive, trustworthy, intelligent and sharp. Renata will without question look after your best interest.
For 17 years I have reached out to Renata with professional matters and personal family matters. I have referred clients, family members and friends to her for legal representation. I have never once been disappointed in the feedback I received. She takes nothing lightly and whatever is important to you is essential to her.
I say this with full confidence that Renata Landskind is one of the best in her field. I consider her an asset in my circle and in the community she represents. If you decide to retain Renata, you will surely have an accomplished, competent and talented attorney in your life.

I was planning my vacations in Europe, when i realized that my daughter's passport expired. Her father was not available to sign consent or for any other contact and the only way to go for me was to file for sole custody. We live in NY, so courts are extremely busy, and it seemed at some point that nothing could be done to speed the process up. Ms. Feldman demonstrated resourcefulness and great knowledge of the system, which resulted in favorable outcomes in less than two months after petition was filed.

I am a former entertainment and intellectual property lawyer who left practice over 20 years ago to run global entertainment businesses. I have worked closely with Laverne Berry over the past 25 years as both a colleague and client on a wide range of complex and innovative issues. She is always extremely well-informed on the latest developments in the field, creative in solving problems and responsive in emergencies. She has very strong negotiating skills and always looks for solutions for all parties in a deal or project. In addition, through her ongoing active involvement in a range of professional organizations, such as her role as President of NY Women in Film and Television, she has built up a strong network of other lawyers to support her clients and supplement her own expertise.

He is a trusted adviser to each of them (all of which are doing amazing things) and is unfailingly responsive to their needs. For corporate law/venture capital matters, especially for organizations with a social enterprise facet, there is no one better than Kyle Westaway.

We hired Kyle to help re structure a partnership agreement for an llc. There were several nuances to our situation that required some creative problem solving and Kyle helped us navigate them and settle on terms that worked really well for us. Would absolutely use him again in the future.

I hired Kyle to write a contract for a freelance job I was doing. Not only did he respond immediately, but the contract included what I’d asked for as well as additional clauses that I wasn’t aware I’d needed. He was so pleasurable to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless, straightforward and productive interaction. Highly recommend!!

I reached out to Yana with a question about the optimal ownership status of a house for tax filing purposes after a divorce. She asked clear questions that got to the heart of the matter and helped me see the way forward (which didn't require an attorney). However, when I do need to hire someone down the road, I will most certainly start with her.

Yana listened to my concerns about how best to construct the last will and testment for my worldly estate and assets, especially considering the protection I wanted to afford to my children. She also considered that I didn't want them to experience division and bitterness over my worldly legacy once I was gone. Yana also listened to my concerns about my own healthcare and what I'd want my health proxies to do. She crafted documents that addressed all these concerns, and more that I hadn't even considered.
