I just wrapped up a divorce with her as my lawyer. She always answered my questions in a timely manner and handled all of the paperwork and filings. She gave good advice with a helpful amount of details and background to explain her position, and was understanding and flexible when I wanted to handle things differently. I had a positive experience using her services and recommend her.

Laura is very professional and patient in explaining what I could expect as I entered getting a divorce. She was very responsive in answering my questions and returning calls/emails. Her calm mannerisms kept the focus on the matter at hand and limited the emotional aspect of the process. I would highly recommend her to navigate through the difficult waters of getting a divorce.

My biggest mistake with my divorce was in using a mediator at first and not engaging Laura completely and fully from the beginning. When custody and other issues came up, Laura was able to help me achieve pretty much every goal I set out to accomplish. My case and custody faced some non-standard issues and Laura did extra research to help me understand how this would affect my case and what was actionable and what was not. She provided me detailed analysis and sound legal advice. Her communication is timely, accurate, complete, and comprehensive. I could not be happier with the service I have received.

She was amazingly helpful and empathetic and compassionate to my situation. I had an attorney prior to her who didn't do a darn thing for me for well over a year, but Jean got right on my case and kept it moving along. Her staff is so very helpful as well. I highly recommend Jean.

Jean represented me during my divorce proceedings for a little over a year until an agreement was made. We were able to come to an agreement and settle out of court and mostly stay out of the court house. I felt represented very well and have the utmost confidence in Jean's legal prowess. Jean and her law office were always very easy to contact, I had no trouble getting ahold of someone if I had questions or updates for them. Jean and all her staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had as great an experience as one could have while going through the divorce process. Jean is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone needing representation during divorce or custody battles.

I recently had the privilege of working with Kate Flaco for my divorce proceedings, and I couldn't be more impressed with the outstanding service and consistent success achieved.
From our initial consultation, Kate exhibited a high level of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. She took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, listened attentively to my concerns, and provided clear guidance on the legal process ahead. Throughout the entire journey, she maintained excellent communication, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way.
Kate's ability to leverage her connections positively influenced the trajectory of my case. Her strategic approach, combined with her connections, allowed for efficient resolution of issues and negotiations, ultimately leading to a favorable settlement that exceeded my expectations.
Every time we faced a challenge, Kate was able to accomplish our objectives with skill and efficiency. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation during challenging times. Thank you, Kate, for your unwavering support and outstanding advocacy.

Kate was amazing with my difficult divorce. I was anxious and the situation was tough. Not only did she ease my mind and calm my fears, she did exactly what she said she would do. She defended me beyond expectations. I have since referred her and she has done a great job with friends and family. Truly one of the best out there!!

We retained Katrin to obtain Grandparent's visitation rights to our grandchildren. Katrin first outlined a course of action to avoid going to court if possible. When that failed, she advised us as to the best way to be successful, with realistic expectations. The was empathetic to our situation and kept us appraised of the progress or lack thereof. She also was good at working with the opposing attorney, reaching a good compromise with the parent we were having difficulty with. While always professional, she also was very understanding and helpful in her dealings with my wife and me.
She also sent us regular statements so we knew exactly where we stood financially.

Ana guided me through the process of forming my own company in New York State. In addition to preparing and filing the legal documents, Ana also took the time to explain related requirements, such as publication and obtaining an EIN. She explained the importance of establishing proper business operations, such as a separate bank account, insurance and certain accounting-related matters. She ensured that I started my new business properly, so that I could focus on building it.

Ana and the Wagoner Firm stepped in to help me with a breach of contract matter. She met with us and reviewed the contract and helped us gather all the evidence we needed to show that this commercial installer was in breach. She spoke with the company's attorney for several months and kept pushing for a fair result, when at first the company denied everything. Ultimately, we get the result we needed and then some. The full purchase price of our contract and and additional sum to get the required permits for the work we were having done.

I am a Veteran who was referred to The Wagoner Firm via the SBA/VBOC because of the firm's support of Veteran Small Business owners. I had the opportunity to work with Ana Galeano in a recent commercial real estate transaction in excess of $1 million. I was purchasing a major property in Schenectady, NY and needed an attorney with experience in real estate. Ana provided me with an opportunity to speak with her extensively at no charge to discuss questions and issues prior to my decision to retain The Wagoner Firm to represent me. One of my biggest concerns was the timeliness that was required due to tax incentive deadlines. Ana and her associates worked feverishly to meet the closing deadline. Many individuals at the closing table commented to me about how it was the quickest commercial transaction they had been a part of. This was even more impressive when you consider the uniqueness of the closing and several unpredictable complications that arose during the closing process. The transaction involved tax issues and a transfer of agreements with the local metroplex authority. Throughout the deal, Ana was very responsive and always made herself available through the critical period of negotiating contracts and closing the deal. In fact, she was available on weekends (without charging extra) and went above and beyond on many occasions to ensure the deal closed by the tax deadline. It involved a large number of parties (buyer, seller, tenant, bank, lender's counsel, brokers, agents), and Ana was very effective in communicating with all parties, including the attorney for the local authority. In addition, Ana has been responsive and available for post-closing matters, such as obtaining appropriate insurance, providing property management contracts, and guiding me through general issues with the property. I would not hesitate to recommend Ana Galeano and The Wagoner Firm to anyone who needs competent, trustworthy, and responsive legal counsel or representation.

My husband and I were referred to Tom Kernan by our financial planner, and found him knowledgeable, patient and responsive to our questions, and easy to talk to regarding sensitive topics. Mr. Kernan took the time to listen to our needs and unique situations and create just the necessary documents. We truly appreciated that. No questions were considered minor, and he explained things in lay language so it was clear.

We had a serious legal problem involving a sudden death of a practicing dentist. The family was left to deal with estate issues and closing an active practice. Mr. Weinberger was extremely knowledgeable in the details of the law and handled all negotiations elegantly, both with patients and with the practice that would be taking over. He went above and beyond what we expected him to do. Accepting this most difficult case, I believe Mr. Weinberger achieved the best possible outcome for us and all involved. I would give him the strongest recommendation.

I met Joe in November 2011. Since that time we have worked together on a couple of different situations. He is always honest, returns my calls immediately and very knowledgable in several areas of law. It is difficult to find a good attorney and when my former one changed careers and gave me Joe's name I was apprehensive at first knowing I could never replace him. I have been very fortunate in finding someone with the same values and compassion. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for an attorney who listens, understands and who will get the job done.

I highly recommend her.

I cannot express enough, my gratitude to Vida McCarthy-Cerrito. She took on my mess of a divorce/family law case when so many others had turned me away. Vida is not afraid of a challenge, and in fact, got right to work at our very first meeting. EFFICIENT and RESPONSIVE. She addressed each issue the moment it crossed her desk. She kept in contact with me every step of the way; I never felt alone or unprotected. She answered my questions, returned my phone calls, responded to every email. She always kept me informed, advising me what she was planning to do & what to expect next. Most importantly to me, Vida was HUMAN; she understood this was the most difficult time of my family's life. She held herself accountable to me & my needs and held me accountable for my required actions. She turned my case around and restored my life. THANK YOU, VIDA!!

I have closed on two properties in the Capital District using Michael Schafer and in each case Michael paid very close attention to all the details of the transactions and kept me informed on issues that I had never even thought of. He was always there when I called and if he wasn't he would return phone calls promptly. During my first purchase, I spoke to Mr. Schafer many times on the phone and after a few months of negotiating with the seller over insurance issues, I failed to close on the property. I was never charged for all that time spent on the phone so when the time came for another purchase, immediately I called Michael Schafer. The same professionalism and attention to detail was displayed and this time I closed on the property. The fee was very reasonable considering the services provided.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Schafer to any one considering purchasing property in the Capital District.

I did not actually retain Laura Hoffman; however, during request for initial consults (and after talking to over a dozen attorneys/firms), Laura was the only one to not push for an immediate retainer. She actually recommended a better lawyer for my specific case. I was very impressed with her integrity and care for the actual individual seeking help over money. Thank you!
P.S. Only a couple interactions, but her legal secretary, Susan, was equally professional, polite, and responsive.

I so appreciate everything she and her team did for me. Special shout-out to Alexis and Lindsay for all their help and professionalism.

I have personally seen Denise Resta-Tobin actively take on a very difficult case that resulted in personal insults, and harassment that a person should not have to endure. She handled each and every attack in a professional manner, and never let it affect her responsibilities of providing a effective representation for her clients. I highly recommend her for the difficult cases.

Mrs. Morton was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and fought to win in my case. Mrs. Morton gives no-nonsense honest legal advice. Mrs. Morton is well respected in the legal community by her peers which was evident as my case progressed. Mrs. Morton's advice should be followed to the "T."
Mrs. Morton has extensive niche expertise with First Responder, Professional Firefighter, and Law Enforcement cases. She understands the unique challenges those clients face in the Divorce/Family Court legal arenas and is more than well prepared to advocate for her clients interests.
I could not imagine going through what I did with any other attorney. There are not enough stars to positively rate Mrs. Morton. I have a wonderful relationship with my child that would be much different without Mrs. Morton's expertise and counsel.
Selecting the right attorney is the first and usually most important decision you will make. I have no regrets having retained Mrs. Morton.

Someone in this office came into the building I was in waiting for my appointment with an eye doctor. Apparently people in this law firm are exempt from following state mandates and health and safety codes. They don't wear masks in their office or while walking through the common areas of the building. Does anyone know a lawyer who's good at suing lawyers?
This law firm is inside of a building that shares a common area with multiple healthcare facilities and has a sign on the door that says masks are mandatory for everyone in the building.
