I can not sing enough praise of Ms. Pelesz. She wasn't just professional she was caring. I knew the law and showed each time we had an appearance and correspondence with the defense. If you are looking for a super lawyer look no further. I highly recommend her to get the job done and the results you are looking for.

I highly recommend Josh if you want to be represented by a top attorney with the experience and know how for the best outcome you can get. The saying you get what you pay for is true. You don't want a bargain basement attorney handling your case if it's important to you. He has helped me a couple of times and each time I've had very favorable outcomes. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Thank you Josh!

I had used Marisa as my attorney in Kingston,NY. She was by far the best attorney I've worked with. Marisa was making calls to all different agencies on my behalf to help me in my case. Marisa was able to find a clerical error that happened 6 YEARS AGO resulting in putting me in the position I was in without me even realizing it was an error. If not for her my case would have been so complicated. Marisa made my case easy and virtually stress free every step of the way. If looking for an attorney for your case it is no question as to weather or not use her. She will give you caring and helpful service. Definitely recommend Marisa Finkelberg

Unfortunately for me I have had my share of experiences of attorneys. I can say from personal experience there is nothing worse than an attorney who lacks compassion and understanding. Even the smartest legal minds come up short if they don't have the ability to connect with their client. Finding yourself with a ton of questions combined with your attorney never being available, leaves you feeling alone an unsure. Bianca is the EXACT opposite of all of that. She was always there when I needed her. She was there to answer questions, research, write and represent. She has a true love and respect for the law and of equal importance to her is making sure her clients know they matter. She is extremely intelligent, patient, professional, fair and honest. This makes her a person you not only want, but must have by your side. Other attorneys respect her and as equally important, so do the Judges. She is a zealous advocate for her clients in the court room who never backs down but does it in away that she makes her point professionally. I recommend her to all my family, clients and friends should they find themselves in a situation where they need legal protection and advice. In my opinion you would be hurting your cause if you didn't consult with Bianca before choosing an attorney.

Bianca was a lighthouse in the darkness. I am a father of 2 boys and was never able to meet my second son for 2 and a half years ... because of her ,and where all other attorneys failed, we are now United and that is just one small piece of the puzzle ....due to her knowledge of the law and compassionate nature, which is a surprise to find within such a complex legal case. She never made me feel she was ever out of reach. Always accessible via text or phone , verses any other attorneys that only give an email and leave you guessing for days to weeks.
Bianca was always professional in court.
I highly recommend her to anyone in real need of justice.
Sincerely,
J.S.

We hired Anthony Mole about 10 years ago, and still use him for a property dispute. Mr. Mole is the utmost professional. Documents are filed in a timely manner, costs are kept to a minimum, and all phone calls and emails are promptly returned. He has never steered us in the wrong direction. His experience in the Supreme and Appellate Courts have resulted in favorable decisions in our case. We would highly recommend Mr. Mole.

We retained Mr. Shilling to assist us with a Contract Litigation matter. We paid him a $2,500 retainer up-front. He was very confident and seemed knowledgeable. He even commented that the opposing party would "drop everything" once they received his letter. The problem was, he did not send a letter. He sent a simple email that we could've easily composed ourselves. No letterhead, nothing - Just a few lines on the screen, as if writing to a friend. We felt it was very unprofessional, and without effect. We went ahead and retained a different attorney to assist us with our issue. Mr. Shilling advised us that, per the retainer agreement that we signed, he was entitled to the entire retainer and was not obligated to return any of the funds. Really? That would have been somewhat understandable, had he done a substantial amount of work... but he sent an email. That's it - an email. Very unprofessional. We were shocked. and wondered if his actual practice is simply keeping retainers. After all, $2,500 is pretty good compensation for typing a few lines in the body of an email. Don't waste your time or money.

The things he said were really amazing & actually very professional about the actual law regarding marriage custody family law etc. I look foward to getting started on a case that went horribly wrong. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to a very complicated case & addressing the key issues. I'm very confident he will turn my case around.

He recently failed to provide a full correspondence to the attorney and he provided only part of the benefits his clients -

Mr. Santoro is a consummate professional, who devotes careful, time, thought, and empathy to his clients. His work on my case demonstrated that he is a fierce adversary and advocate, and does so with a quick wit, and mastery of the law, rather than bombastic meltdowns characteristic of lesser attorneys. It is without reservation, that I recommend him and his staff, as I was pleased with his meritorious motion practice and continued successful litigation on my behalf.

Terrible attorney. Yelled at us because we didn't agree with what she wanted to do. She had no intention of representing our interests, only her own. Extremely unprofessional and unethical. She had no ability to listen and kept talking about "the numbers" which were completely inaccurate, then told us we never gave her our tax returns which we had given her two weeks previous to our court date.

OK, AVVO has set down guidelines for these things, so, I won't be able to say this in the words I would choose to use, but rather, the language I have been required to use.
Keeping that in mind, .... be advised that I am a professional myself, having been a member of Physics and Engineering Societies since 1972, and having written and or enforced Health and Safety Codes for more years than that.
I hired Matt, because I am getting up there, can't run around like I used to. He was the friend of a friend, I had met him, thru two different people, seemed a nice guy, and talked a good line, about having a broad background, a lot of experience, and possessing, using, and understanding all the latest in technology.
On the technology front, yes, he has the equipment and the skills to use it, he can do the field work that only a few years ago, would have required several people and days of work, in a single afternoon. Sadly, programming his cell phone, to take messages? was not in his skill set.
Matthew was quite self effacing, he was quite incapable of coming up with what he considered his worth, no matter how many times I asked him for an estimate. This is not to say he isn't quite imaginative, and fully capable of coming up with things you or I would never have thought of, or dreamed of asking for ... and his innovation knows no bounds, I, myself, would never thought of doing a full Topography map on a lot, still awaiting final fill, and the need of 150 foot of storm drain piping? And who else would have considered drawing up a subdivision, for lots I am hoping to have, someday, for my kids, and giving them my garage to work from?
It is just too bad he lacks the skills necessary to formalize all of his imaginative findings, in any meaningful fashion, or in any meaningful time frame, because his billing practices would imply only a biblical time frame.
Don't get me wrong, I will cheerfully recommend Matthew Noviello to certain others, when the chance comes around .... My last stockbroker, certain neighbors, and my ex wife, spring immediately to mind ....

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses. -
What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience. -
What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
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. -
How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times. -

Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish. -

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction. -
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation. -
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. -
Ask for References:
A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence. -

Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties. -
