Although I was assured that I had a good case and even after presenting to her what my former employer’s position would be, Manali seemed unprepared when my former employer raised the exact defense I told her would be coming. She capitulated to my former employer, so I had to accept whatever settlement was available. I know it's business, but in my interactions with her, it seems she could not care less that I was a human being. Subsequently, an issue arose where she advised me on a topic she had no legal knowledge of. After going back and forth with her, asking why she advised the way she did, she finally admitted that she had no legal knowledge of what I was asking.

When I sought for legal representation I was at my lowest after leaving an unsavory work environment. Mrs.Arora reached out with ease as well as compassion. She encouraged me I was making the first step to change. I can’t find all the words to describe the level of time and communication her and the staff display . I never had to chase and play phone tag the case lasted a year and half I think was pretty fast depicting the state of pandemic we’re in . All in all she stood up for my rights as a Double Minority! Forever Thankful

I had suffered some misfortune having been let go abruptly from a good job despite no performance issues. Thankfully, with the aid of Manali Shah Arora, I was able to settle my dispute amicably with employer and get the closure I sought. Through it all I was treated compassionately and was always kept in the loop on the best course of action. I sincerely recommend Manali Shah Arora and the firm for anyone seeking true justice.

Mr. Buividas was the best find we ever made. Our insurance company denied us and we thought that was it and we were going to have to use our retirement monies to fix our property damage. A friend referred Mr. Buividas and his Law Group which he used his knowledge and skills to turn the denial into the money needed to make the repairs and saved us our retirement hard on monies. We recommend him to everyone.

I went to Dragon and Dragon law office for my divorce. Robyn took care of my case, she was the best. She calmed me down and I thought things might be going south.
My ex-husband wasn't responding to any emails or calls from Robyn but showed up on the final court date. She make sure that we were separated from each other as we waited to be called.
With elegance and grace she struck a deal last minute between the both of us in separate rooms. She calmed me down during and after the proceedings. She wouldn't let me even ride on the same elevator and waited with me to go down the elevator. I wouldn't choose any other family law attorney.
Go there she will explain everything and answer all your questions.

MONEY GRAB
NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK/COPIES
NEVER HAD MY CALLS RETURNED
THEY SPOKE SO FAST AND CUT ME OFF MID SENTENCE
SHODDY OFFICE
So, here's the story. I Went to this office in November 2020. In the height of Covid they seemed to have no problem putting their hands on cash. I gave Jeff $225 dollars for initial consultation. Afterwards he told me it would be another $1000 to take the case. By January I managed to pull together the money. After his sticky fingers counted that and put it away he brought out the documents for me to sign stating that I'd owe another $2000 once all was said and done. I told him I didnt have that kind of money and he said I can make installments and he was willing to work with me. Reluctantly, I signed it. A week or so later he calls and says there is a $400 court fee before they can move forward. That being all I had I paid it favoring the long run of my case financially.
Some time later I'm given paperwork to fill out pertaining to my expenses and am rudely reminded that I still owe them $2000. That being stated, I told him once again that I dont have that kind of money and after seeing my expenses it should have proven so. Keep in mind, after filling said paperwork out no one offered to make a copy or even make copies of my pay stubs, divorce decree etc...etc... thereby giving me back my ORIGINAL paperwork.
I had to visit my mother in March as she was dying so everything was put on hold. Upon returning I had begun to speak with Robyn (barely being able to finish a sentence let alone understand what she was saying since they all speak ridiculously fast). The first week or so of April was a bit of phone tag. Once finally getting a hold of Robyn she told me I had a bit more to sign and then they'll move forward. After more phone tag I finally just showed up at the office in the hope of simply signing what I needed to. I was met with "you can't just show up. I'll call you on Monday and we can plan accordingly."
Monday comes, more phone tag. I call continuously for two weeks. "She's in a meeting, I can take a message." Or, I would get her on the phone but she was conveniently in the middle of something and she'll call me back. Bear in mind that I'm doing all of this on my breaks at work. Two to three times a day.
In May I finally stopped kicking the horse and sent them this email in June:
(I am sending you this email in regards to $225 for R&R, $1000 in attorney fees and $400 in court costs which were handed to you in cash on 11/17/2020 1/12/2021 1/26/2021. I am requesting a refund of $1400 due to the fact that no progress has been made on this case. I have not received copies of any paperwork that I've signed and/or handed over. I have made numerous attempts at speaking with my lawyer, Robyn Dragon, only to be met with dismissal and no returned calls. I have put aside these funds specifically for this case in order to have my child support reduced. I feel as though this matter has been tossed to the side and every pay period I am hemorrhaging money. I can no longer afford to have my situation placed on the back burner due to negligence which seems to be brought about by a money grab (as stated by previous clients in reviews about this entity). Currently I am in dire need of these funds as I have fallen behind in my bills. I'd like to think that you would want to preserve whatever integrity your firm has left before I decide to send a copy of this email to the better business bureau and place it under any reviews that can be found online. I would appreciate my money returned in a more timely manner than your phone calls.
Please send cash or check to:
Thank you for your time, rather, your lack thereof.)
It is now August 2021 and I have not had any kind of response whatsoever. Nine months and $1625 of money I dont have is gone. Prior to this I had little to no experience with lawyers. Now though, I ge

My husband and I needed an attorney after a tree fell on our house during a storm. We were going to go to the lawyer we used for a accident he had last year, but decided to use Jeff instead - a very good decision on our part after all.
Jeff took our call late in the evening and scheduled an appointment for us the next morning. (We thought we would have to wait days, if not weeks.)
When we arrived at his office, we were greeted and made to feel comfortable and welcome. (A very different feel from what our last attorney made us feel like!)
When Jeff saw us, we explained that the tree that feel on our sons bedroom was a point of contention for us with our next door neighbor for many years. And we knew that this may happen at some point.
Well, when the tree fell (Thankfully, our son was not in his room at the time.) the tree destroyed his room, our den, and the laundry room.
Our insurance company would not pay for the entirety of the repairs - saying that ti was the neighbor's responsibility - and we needed someone to help us in the legal process of fighting to get our house back in the shape it was before this uninvited guest arrived.
Between both insurance company's, the neighbor, and our son having to stay in a spare bedroom, we were at the end of our rope.
Jeff was able to get all the issues fixed for us - quite quickly, which surprised all of us, especially my husband. His office was able to get the insurance company's to step up and get the repairs done, and the house back to what it used to be - to our liking as well!
If I ever need an attorney again, I am going to make sure to go back to Jeff. I am astounded and amazed at how well everything was handled.

Horrible communication and ultimate dereliction of duty handling an eviction for me. It was as if they represented the deadbeat tenants who haven’t paid in a year rather than their client. Now won’t return phone calls or emails and have left me hanging. I will be contacting another attorney to finish the job and probably sue them for malpractice.

The services I received from DiTomaso law was professional. I hired Mr. DiTomaso to handle my personal injury claims due to back to back accidents in 2015 & 2016 at no fault of my own. His office employees provided exceptional communication, response time and kept me abreast to each stage of the suit. I would recommend Mr. DiTomaso and his firm to anyone as he is an very knowledgeable attorney that’s knows NJ & PA laws.

I was introduced to DiTomaso Law Firm though a friend who recommended he would be able to help with my matter. From our initial consultation Richard was very clear about all of the potential outcomes I was looking at and was very sincere in his approach. This made me feel at ease considering this was my first “legal” experience. He was quick to respond to my emails and made sure to remind me that I could call/email him whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my case. Richard and his team were extremely professional and I would/will recommend him to anyone I know who needs legal advice or a consultation.

If this firm is reflective of attorney Matthew Green, look elsewhere. Adds no perspective or insight of value, disconnected from activities and not in tune with needs. Comments like, "it slipped through the cracks" are what you are in store for. There are plenty of other options.

Matt Green represented me in a contentious case and he did so brilliantly. Matt knew the case inside and out, and was dedicated to having the matter get resolved. I trust him and his opinion. Matt did an excellent job of pointing out the inconsistencies in the opposing parties argument, and I can recommend him unequivocally. If you are seeking someone who knows the law and who diligently strives to be your zealous advocate, you will not find anyone better than Matthew Green.

Leaving a message is a joke. Her mail box is often full and when you do finally get through and leave a message she doesn't return the calls. The only time I had a chance to speak to her is the day of court providing she doesn't cancel. She did not follow through on how I suggested to peruse this case and proceeded to tell me the best way to go. Which seems to me, translated to the least amount of effort on her part. The reason I say this is simple, how could others involved in my case using different lawyers yet charged with the same exact charges, not to mention they had prior convictions be placed on probation? Matter of fact one of them with more charges came out better then myself. He received probation also. Being my first offense I would expect at least the same. I asked how this could happen. My conclusion, it is because Christina was court appointed to my case and she choose the easy road for her. Her suggestion on how to proceed succeeded in getting me time. Min of a year. I will be writing to NJ Office of Attorney Ethics about her incompetent behavior. Hopefully I can fire her and get my case appealed. I suggest anyone looking for a lawyer by pass this one.

After he charged my credit card he never did anything. Didn't show up for court. Didn't notify the court. Didn't return any calls. The only thing he did was email me a receipt for what I paid him. He scans public records and mails out attorney advertisements touting free consultations. He took my cc info during the consultation and then I never heard from him. I had to show up in court to avoid an arrest warrant for failure to appear since he was a no-show. I'll hang on to his solicitation letter in case someone wants a copy.

Same thing in my case. I broke my Ankle bone climbing company stairs. For TWO years I sent this lawyer every single document I received and even had some serious medical documents translated, at my expense. I was the one who constantly called his him, asked if he needed anything from me, each time I had to remind him WHO I was!
The Statutory time frame for WC claim is Two years. I found out from my NEW lawyer, but by this time the statutory timeframe was up and I had no legal rights to presure my employer.
I guess this lawyer actually worked for my employer.
Don’t waste your time, energy or mental health on this poor excuse of a lawyer.

I sustained a serious work injury. I was looking for a good WC attorney and contacted Pond Lehocky. I was advised that they did not handle WC in my state, so they gave me Jeffrey Stern, who practices in my state. After signing up with him I thought he was a good attorney. His office was very unorganized and he was dressed in shorts when I had my first consultation with him, but he seemed to be very good per our conversation. As my case went on, I gave him updates of all of my treatment and the shenanigans my employer was trying to pull. The case was proceeding along, so there was nothing urgent to be done as I was treating. Well, after my treatment was coming to a close and the physician and my employer were trying to force me back to work, it was time for Mr. Stern to act. Not only did he stop communicating with me, he lied and told me he was doing things on my claim that I found out he was not doing. I got fed up and fired him. He lied to me and to the court. When I did get a new attorney, I found out that my employer's counsel had sent him paperwork that I needed to fill out 3 times for completion, which he ignored and never sent to me. My employer's counsel was about to file a petition to have my claim closed. Thank God I found a new attorney before that happened.
Mr. Stern is lazy, and unorganized. I also found out that he goes to court unorganized. I would not suggest that anyone trust him with a serious claim.

I had an excellent experience working with Jeff regarding a car accident case. He was always available and quick to respond. This was a difficult process, and Jeff reduced a lot of my stress. He had my best interest in mind, taking into account my needs and advising me accordingly. Lastly, I feel like he understood how important it was for me to understand the legal process itself and the all options available to me. Jeff is down to earth; made this process easy. I would certainly recommend him.
