Charles is an excellent lawyer. He did a great job for me. He was knowledgeable, explained the process to me, but was most important to me is that he kept posted and updated on the case. When Charles walks in the courtroom, he lights up the whole place. It's like everyone knows him and one person after another was coming over to greet him. I think he charged me a fair price and I was very satisfied with my result. Once you meet him, you will see what I'm talking about.

I hired Charles 4 months ago for a criminal matter I had in Brooklyn, (fight with my ex-worker). He was professional and courteous. He answered all my questions and explained to me what the process was about, and what I should expect and what was going to happen next. Charles has a warm personality and a good heart. He is very bright and I saw when he walked into court everyone respected him. What I liked best about him is that he returned my calls promptly, as soon as he was out of court. The case will be dismissed in six months, (ACD) as long as I pay the 135.00 medical bill and stay away from the ex-worker for 6 months as well. I was very satisfied that the case will be dismissed and I will have no criminal record. We went to court two times. I’m taking the time to write this because Charles is a great lawyer and I want him to have a lot of business. You will not be sorry if you hire him. He is aggressive, in a respectful way. Thank you.

He took the time to explain everything to me in great detail and answered all my questions whenever i needed them answered. There aren't many lawyers who take the time to listen and explain, and Mr. Blumen did all that. If i ever need a lawyer again, or any of my friends or family do, i will definetely recomend Mr. Blumen.

I first met Terence in 2016 following the death of my father. I was distraught and required assistance with my father’s estate. Terence was knowledgeable, kind and took control of the challenges involved in the estate process and obstacles. Terence and his team treated me with kindness, patience, respect, and a careful and accurate legal process. Terence got the job done and did not drag his feet. He consistently greeted me with a smile as did the rest of his team. The team returned phone calls and never did I feel rushed or a bother. Terence is the type of attorney you could be confident and proud of in representing you or your loved ones. I highly recommend Terence as a competent, intelligent, compassionate and respectable attorney who can undoubtedly provide anyone with ethical and honorable representation.

I've used the services of Terence Ricaforte over the past several years. He was instrumental in advising us on how to receive Medicaid Benefits for my mother and all the associated Estate and trust preparations. Terence provided excellent service and advise and this resulted in us receiving the needed benefits for my mother in a relatively short period of time. Terence was instrumental in diffusing a potential situation with the Administrative Judge and HRA attorneys . Terence provided consultation and support in spite of issues I had with his previous employer. Upon my mother's passing, Terence also advised on real estate and tax issues associated with the selling of my mother's home and saved us significant monies and time. I highly recommend his firm Landskind& Ricaforte for all these issues.They do care about their clients and I would not hesitate to recommend them for their honesty ,integrity, and professionalism. And the staff is courteous and responsive.

My family has used Terence's services on several occasions. Not only has Terence provided expert legal advice, but he's taken the time to present all of our options and raised points we hadn't previously considered, or even known we should be thinking about. Estate planning for aging relatives can be a challenging and emotional process, but Terence's smart, thoughtful and customer friendly approach made the process easy. I've recommended him and his practice to many friends and colleagues, and the feedback I hear from those who use his services is also consistently positive.

I hired Mr. Belgrave last year when other lawyers didn't want to take my case or their fee surpassed what I could pay. This case was from 2000 Real Estatate transaction and my original lawyer quit because I couldn't afford to maintain him. I spent thousands with no relief before meeting Mr Belgrave. I was in default in 2015 for not having a lawyer to respond. I was not sleeping at night. Mr Belgrave made me feel for the first time in 15 years that someone had my interest in mind. He won my case and had the default judgement overturned. I can finally sleep at night. Thank You Again!

Within my 13 years in the US I had dealt with many lawyers, including criminal, immigration and this time IP. I was hesitant to hire a woman because I tend to think that male attorneys do a better job. I decided to give it a try and I cannot be happier with my choice. Elena is a top notch lawyer and she delivered prompt responses on questions I had and provided me services I requested from her. She was also not pushy about payments and I thank her for the trust to a new client as my matter was somewhat urgent. I hope I will not have to hire Elena again to the issues I had before with those scam providers I dealt with, but I hope to hire Elena for my other matters such as creating contracts and advising me with other things.

I am writing to tell about my recent dealings with Attorney F. Richard Hurley. I called Mr. Hurley immediately upon getting legal papers. I was served with legal papers from my greedy landlord who sought to evict me using bogus legal papers. Mr. Hurley immediate returned my call and gave me a prompt appointment. In addressing my matter, Mr. Hurley combined his legal background as a tough prosecutor in the Queens County District Attorney's Office and a tenious civil legal affairs specialist in private practice for many years to slam away my landlord's efforts. Case closed. I would seek Hurley again in the future and do urge everyone to contact him if you have any type of legal problem. I have grateful for Mr. Hurley's work.

Erika Hartley practices law on a very high level. Her firm represents our non-verbal, special needs son. One of the first things my husband and I noticed is that she is experienced and firm in tone and position. Second thing that we love is that she has the habit of responding to every single email and phone correspondence within a timely manner. We speak with her directly-completely foregoing front desk secretaries and paralegals. On top of that, she is incredibly sharp and with impeccable legal skills. By this I mean, she continuously demonstrates mastery of her field. She wins cases and fights hard. I can’t express how important this is when fighting for the best interest of your child. I’m so thankful to have Erika on our team. Erika Hartley is a tremendous asset to our family, the Special Needs Community and to anyone fortunate enough to retain her services.

We highly recommend Mrs. Erika Hartley’s services without any reservation for any special needs children and their family, in need of competent and powerful representation. With Mrs. Hartley representing our autistic child, we handily won two back-to-back cases against the NYC Department of Education (DOE) for funding two years of private school education. And since we will have to sue every school year for the tuition funding, we feel very grateful and lucky to have her fighting on our side. After receiving intensive ABA services as part the state’s Early Intervention program, our child was verbal and on a good academic track. After turning five years old, and five years into the District 75 program, our child regressed and flat-lined academically, lost the nascent verbal skills, regressed in potty training, and developed deeply concerning new behavior such as aggression, biting, and inappropriate self stimulation in school. With the guidance of our parent’s advocate, we requested and obtained evaluations to be performed on our child at DOE expense. We did not even know our child had those rights. A neuropsychological evaluation report stated that placement in a focused program such as ABA or DIR in a specialized school, should be considered for our child. When we brought it up in the consequent meeting with the school, the school stated it could not provide either, but had what our child needed. After another disappointing academic year, it was time to bring a big caliber gun to the negotiation table, and our advocate introduced us to Mrs. Hartley. With her assistance, we gave the DOE proper notice, and filed a petition to place our child into a private school with a DIR focused program at DOE expense. Within the first year at the new school, our child’s behavioral issues and their sensory root cause were addressed and regulated. The DOE settled to fund the second year for failing to initiate an IEP, but refused to fund the first school year’s tuition, contending that we were uncooperative, and placing our child into a private school was unwarranted. This led to the impartial hearing. In preparation, Mrs. Hartley went over years of documents we sent her, and worked with us on drafting the parents’ affidavits. With her input on what details were relevant and needed to be included, the new school’s affidavit went from a one page statement to a booklet. Mrs. Hartley dotted the “i”s and crossed the “t”s until everything was airtight, and it paid-off. From the beginning of the impartial hearing, we were noticeably better prepared than the other party. At the height of the COVID pandemic, Mrs. Hartley made sure that the hearing officer and other relevant parties had the necessary documents ahead of time, properly formatted. The hearing officer commented as such out of frustration, while chiding the other party’s attorney for not being able to do the same with the vast resources of the DOE at her disposal. Subsequently, Mrs. Hartley proceeded to execute what Elon Musk calls a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” of the DOE’s arguments. She methodically squeezed answers out of the DOE’s witnesses that strengthened our case, while respectfully but aggressively shielding us against any discrediting attempts by the DOE’s attorney. The impartial officer’s final ruling fully vindicated everything we fought for. When we hired Mrs Hartley’s services, we got a lot more than a seasoned attorney. We were also blessed with a steadfast ally who genuinely cared and had a personal stake in helping our child. Thank you Mrs. Hartley!

My initial consultation with Mrs. Erika Hartley Esq. took place in 2014, as a Special Needs Education Attorney. My first impression of Ms. Hartley is that she is a strong woman that is passionate about the work she does. She was very personal and helped me to understand that i wasn't alone. She kept me motivated, and stayed on top of things every step of the way. What i respected the most about Mrs. Hartley is that she explained the process to me, she broke it down to me, no matter how much questions i ask, she didn't make me feel as if i was incompetent. She helped me to understand there is no i in team that we both needed to stay in communication with one another throughout the whole process and be on time for all evaluations. Her strength and passion really shines through her, which motivated me at all times not to give up she made me want justice more for my child. God only knows how many times my strength nearly failed me. I highly recommend Mrs. Hartley as a Special Needs Attorney she is truly blessed and gifted, straight to the point, dedicated, passionate, and has a powerful presence in the Court Room. My daughter is going on 12 years of age and she started a state approve school over 6 months ago, it wouldn't have happened if Mrs. Hartley didn't make certain recommendations to the DOE. This is when you know you hired a great attorney when they can look at your child and automatically tell you whats wrong as if she tested your child herself, that showed me she was highly experienced. And everything she said turned out to be true, and when i asked her how she knew all these things she explained to me the years of work with other children like mines. My daughter has never been more happy she is not being bullied anymore, she went from getting 50's on her tests and now she gets 80's and 100's so happy that my daughter is so much better now, she even has more confidence in herself. That's all the justice i need!! Now i am more at ease, she took on a more sensitive case with my oldest daughter that seems to have more twist and turns but as long as i followed her instruction and stayed on point i was good to go. Ms. Erika Hartley Esq. won the first case for my oldest daughter now we are fighting another case together all i have to say is watch out world here comes Mrs. Hartley!!! If you are looking for an attorney to fight for your children's academical goals call Mrs. Hartley Thank you Mrs. Hartley Esq. for all your hard work May the lord continue to bless you in all his ways

My experience with Reuben Fuller-Bennett and James Fishman has been extremely positive. They are pros to the nth degree. Although James successfully resolved a personal landlord-tenant matter for me and my wife a number of years ago, my recent commercial landlord-tenant case added Reuben to the team. Reuben’s attention to detail and recall over a period of more than nine months was astonishing. He arranged the salient facts, dates, correspondence, affidavits, etc. in a clear, precise manner. Organized and immediately accessible. Reuben constantly kept in touch regarding dates of motions, deadlines, appearances etc. My specific case revolved around a determination as to whether I had a lease or not based upon email communication with my landlord. Reuben’s research and analysis were the basis of the success of my claim resulting in a substantial reward in my favor. Without hesitation, I whole-heartedly recommend Reuben Fuller-Bennett.

i needed help with a residential lease. I was concerned that I might lose my apartment. I wasn't sure how I would fight corporate greed. I contacted a number of lawyers. I wasted a lot of time with lawyers playing a bait and switch game. They said we could settle for one amount and then said it would have to go to court , for an unknown cost. Rueben helped me. He projected cost honestly. He didn't switch up to exact more money from the situation. Time is still money. He was efficient with his hours and helped me provide the information that was needed. He was able to back the corporation off and they rescinded there initial threat. This was all done without having to go to court. I would highly recommend Reuben to anyone needing help with residential legal matter.

I first met Reuben Fuller-Bennett when I went in to meet James Fishman after I received a notice that the lease for my rent stabilized apartment would not be renewed. Reuben was one of James’s associates who would be assisting on this matter. I knew I was in great hands with James, and I quickly realized I was in great hands with Reuben as well. We had discussed what documentation I should provide to help my case, and immediately after our meeting Reuben sent me an email outlining each and every item we discussed, and of he offered ideas and suggestions as to how to obtain certain other documents. He stressed each and every item’s importance for my case. I could tell he was truly on my side professionally as well as personally. I sent Reuben the documentation as I had it, and he provided me with updates as to what he had/what we were still waiting for. He was very organized and on top of everything. Reuben responded to every question I had along the way, and he did so very quickly. He was very knowledgeable on cases like mine. He was very positive about my case, and when I was getting nervous he assured me that our case was strong and not to worry. He kept James copied on every e-mail exchange, and deferred to James to answer a question when he was not 100% sure on an answer. Both James and Reuben kept me informed as to the progress of what was happening. James is the one who let me know that the landlord would be renewing my lease, and I could not have been more grateful and thankful for the work done by him and of course Reuben. I am confident that anyone who works with Reuben will have the same positive experience as I had. I hope to never be in the situation I was in again, but if I am – I know I will be in great hands with Reuben. I highly recommend him.

I went to Ms. Latkovskaia to have my will done. I don't like or trust lawyers in general and have had bad experiences in the past. This experience was completely different. Our consultation was lengthy, friendly and informative. I had not committed to paying her anything but she treated me like I was a VALUED client, even though I had just met her that day. I ended up not only getting my will done but I brought in my wife and got her's too. And at a later time we had a trust creatived to protect our assets and our children's future. I still call Ms. Latkovskaia from time to time for advise. She has always been prompt, professional and someone who tells me the truth, NOT just what I want to hear. I have found that a rare trait in today's society. I have recommended Ms Latkovskaia to both other family members, friends and even co-workers.

Mr. Grant represent me in a state tax audit matter. Mr. Grant was able to present the facts to the NC Dept. of Revenue that I did not owe them $20,000 plus in unpaid taxes. Although the State Dept. of Revenue attempted to continue on their witch hunt into my personal financial life, Mr. Grant was able to nip their fishing expedition in the bud by clearly arguing that my income was earned in another state. Mr. Grant is a true advocate for small business owners like myself.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. 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.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

    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:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. 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:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. 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.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
