Michelle is the ultimate professional when it comes to her services. The communication was constant and she took control of the situation. Being unaware of the legalities of our transaction, she made sure to educate and protect us. Definitely recommend using Ferlito Law Group for all of your business law needs!

I wish to acknowledge attorney Jolanta Szymanska's excellent work on a civil case I entrusted to her which she handled in a very professional manner. She was very knowledgeable, efficient and effective in the task and took time to explain all aspects and progress of the case in court, returning my phone calls promptly whenever I called her. She is an excellent attorney whom I highly recommend. Iqbal Hyder.

Contacted this attorney regarding a civil matter , and the attorney refused to advise if an answer was received for a civil matter where Jolanta was the plaintiff’s attorney. In addition, Jolanta refused to talk about the lawsuit raised her voice , and even tried to deceive by saying she would talk about the matter in her office tried to give the number for her a client. Super in-professional no one should hire her for anything , and I will be filing a formal complaint with the NY Bar association.

Too bad you even must leave 1 star. This guy is the biggest liar, fraud, and manipulator! My family hired him to do two simple items to file paper work with courts. He also wanted to be pre-paid in full with PayPal. Which we did! He came up with every excuse in the book from being sick, his sectary was out (his wife) the office was closed (it's his house), the courts messed up paper work etc.. I hope people read reviews first. DO NOT use this thief!!!!!!!! we filed with Suffolk county Bar association and we are taking him to court for theft of services!!!!!!

Stear clear of Mr Diaz as he will lie and make endless excuses. He took my retainer fee and ran with it while doing NOTHING on my case for over a year!! Finally filed a formal complaint with grievance and Bar association and won as it was clear he did NOTHING but take my money. Very sad as he took advantage of me during a difficult divorce situation.
Avoid this attorney!
