Five stars - why? Because they communicate with you - they do not leave you questioning and wondering what is happening with your case. The law firm of Steve Foley has been kind and understanding since the first day I contacted them! Yes, my case is still ongoing - but they did not get in a rush and took time to fully understand the injuries sustained and the impact the accident had on my life. They are a wonderful firm, they have understanding and professional staff, and I gladly give them a five star rating! Miss Judy Wroda

If you ever need a criminal attorney, Tom is your guy! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the law and the court landscape, he is truly passionate about working to get you the best possible outcome and will work relentlessly to represent you throughout the process. Not only is he a GREAT lawyer, but he is extremely compassionate and was always available to answer questions. If you ever find yourself in an unfortunate situation with the law, do not hesitate to contact Tom. You truly won’t be sorry. He was better than I could have ever asked for and I can’t thank him enough and am extremely grateful. I highly recommend Tom!!!!!

It was the best decision I ever made to hire this law firm to work on my case, just 2 month after submitting I got my green card approval. They helped me with my application, even their filing alone was just like a joke but little did i know that i was dealing with the most experience and qualified attorney in western New York. Matthew and your team let me just say, thank you for your supports and may the good Lord bless you

In my experience of working with different immigration attorneys, Mr. Kolken is truly the best. He and his team really took the time to understand my situation, and then diligently gathered information to support my green card application. They also explained each step carefully and clearly, so that I was informed about what was happening during the application process.
I had a previous green card application that was denied, and my last attorney suddenly stopped responding to inquiries (later on I discovered it was due to illness). It was then that I came across Mr. Kolken, and I am truly grateful he was willing to take my case.
No words will ever be enough to commend the work that Mr. Kolken does, and I will be forever grateful to him and his team.

I highly recommend Mr Kolken as a immigration lawyer. When no one else would take my case, he stepped up with expertise, dedication, and compassion. Mr Kolken took my case personally and showed a genuine desire to achieve the best outcome for me. He navigated the complexities of immigration law with precision, ultimately securing a favorable result. I would also like to mention that he is with great team, Ben and Rob, who supported me every step of the way. If you need a reliable advocate who truly cares, Mr Kolken and his team is the one to trust.

I would like to strongly recommend attorney John D. D’Amato to anyone looking for an excellent attorney and John is just that. I hired John D’Amato recently to discuss working out a payment arrangement with the attorneys representing the BMFCU and John was able to work out a payment plan that was affordable to me and he even let me pay the fee owed to him in monthly installments. Attorney John D’Amato is very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and caring , and I’m glad that I hired him to represent me and I am extremely happy with the outcome and I can’t thank John enough, he’s definitely the best attorney that I came across as far as handling bankruptcy cases and negotiating debt….

Mr. Saraceno is a gifted attorney. We have been more than satisfied with his performance on our behalf, and remain eternally grateful to him for his services.

Mr. Saraceno got me the best possible outcome for my case and I’m convinced that another attorney could not have done any better for me. He took a lot of time on my case making numerous court appearances and fought aggressively on my behalf. The judge even commented that my attorney did a “mammoth” job for me! I’m certain that I made the right choice in hiring Dominic to represent me.

For many years I have used Brian's services and have recommended him to many of my clients. Brian has always been very accessible and has always delivered a favorable result and his fees, unlike many other attorneys is very fair and are within the original parameters that we discussed when he was first engaged. Feedback I received from others is that they were very happy with his service. If you want a top notch attorney without the high fees and endless billing I highly recommend Brian.

Brian is the man!! It took almost a year to get my case to the finish line but Brian was available to talk anytime I needed, and he did an amazing job of keeping me positive when things seemed rather grim. I never felt like a number and I always felt like he was putting 100% into my case. At the very end ,the insurance company offered me 8K, but within a week he had it up to 12k. I literally cannot find one negative thing to say about the representation I received from Brian. If I ever hit by another driver again or if I ever know somebody that's been hit I will recommend. Brian in a heartbeat with 100% confidence. Thank you again, Brian

What can I say? I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Weinrieb. He is an incredible Attorney. He is caring, compassionate, and truly cares about his clients.
I came to Mr. Weinrieb with an extremely difficult situation. My previous lawyer quit before trial and I presented him with my case/situation on very short notice. One where 9 other Attorneys said nothing was possible and laughed at the situation. When I first met him and told him this he snickered and said he will work to the best of his ability, and he absolutely did. He went above and beyond for my case. And proved large attorney firms wrong.
His response rate was fast and he was informative and very honest. When he said he was on something he stuck to his word and got things done fast.
Mr. Weinriebs rates are also absolutely incredible and extremely fair for custody proceedings. He was literally the QB and made every play with my sons best interests in mind. Thats what you want in a lawyer.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Weinrieb you give attorneys a very good name.
Who ever reads this review please do yourself a favor and check this law firm out it’s the best in town.

I am very impressed with Mr. Slepian's work ethic and experience. I consulted him with a question about possible actions to take, and he took the time to thoroughly understand the background of my immigration process. He was the first lawyer to do this, and as a non-native speaker, I really appreciated that he spoke slowly and clearly. He also didn’t try to push his services on me. Instead, he made me feel very relieved. I had the fear that I cannot work or travel. He told me about the technicalities, the likelihood of travel risks and further steps to mitigate them. If I ever need an immigration lawyer, he will be my first choice.

Top marks for Shari Jo. Her experience really helped me sleep at night as she guided me though this emotionally challenging and stressful situation. Her matter of fact style helped to quickly and efficiently draft the settlement. Great follow up to all of my inquiries throughout the process. When the process was stalled by the other side, she gave me great advice to get the process moving and ultimately bring closure to the process.

Shari Jo comes to the table with decades of experience in matrimonial law, yet pays attention to every detail of the new cases she takes on. This combination of experience and attention to detail is extremely effective. In my situation, she was informed, prepared and strategic in every step of a lengthy legal process. My advice would be trust her to do what she does best - handle matrimonial cases with expertise and conviction. She showed me that she genuinely believed in what is just and right, worked for just that and won.
