I searched for 3 months looking for a competent, efficient attorney to help with a business contract I needed taken care of asap. I wasted 3 months waiting on lawyers to get back to me, and after waiting and waiting getting every excuse in the book I finally found Mr. Ryn. He responded to my needs WITHIN AN HOUR even being a weekend day! Unheard of... He’s kept me in the loop EVERY step of the way helping me stay on top of what’s going on unlike every other attorney I hired. He takes the time to actually listen to your needs and demands, fighting to make sure you get the best outcome possible. 10/10 recommended! Search no longer!

As this was the first time I required a lawyer, I was cautious to say the least. But I was pleasantly surprised by Matt. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and explained everything so that I could understand. He was professional, but gave every meeting and phone call a personal touch. I will absolutely use Matt in the future and recommend his services to anyone.

Mr. McMahon spent a lot of time in consultation with me, on a problem of a spouse who's developing dementia and doing dangerous things; wanting to drive when doctors have forbidden it, not taking prescribed medicine, being abusive.

When I first came to see Mr. Cantone, I was incredibly upset. He was good enough to listen to much random lunacy before calming the situation and clearly listing options.
As time and the case developed, he was cautious to explain how divorce and child custody cases were usually handled in New York. Yet when it became clear that I would not follow in lockstep with precedent, he did agree to present my arguments to opposing counsel. Whether it was his expertise or my stubbornness, we arrived at a resolution that neither found perfect. And that's probably as good as it gets.
Mr. Cantone did explain his fees clearly and was honorable in all my dealings with him. I was fortunate to have him represent me.

Abdo & O’Brien was recommended to me by neighbor who had great results. My case was being denied by the worker comp insurance company. I had gone to two other law firms and been told by them that they were not interested in taking my case. Who wants to fight a world-wide company with 87 billion. (market capitalization) Abdo & O’Brien decided to represent me and explained everything about what was going on. Alex went to court and presented the facts of the case before the judge. The judge ruled in favor of us. That was huge. Every step of the way Alex and staff were there taking care of all the delays that this carrier would try. Alex would keep me updated and always took the time to explain the laws so I could understand. I made it tuff on him because I moved out of New York to a much friendlier state which created some minor issues. He was always very easy to get in touch with. In short 3 years 2 mths after my injury I received my settlement. I went from not being covered by WC to receiving a very nice settlement and all I had to do was call Abdo & O'Brien.
