Had the pleasure of working with SG Legal Services! I expressed to Shawn that I never had to serve papers to anyone so I was a little uncertain of how the process went, but he was very thorough and very responsive. The court documents were served as soon as possible, I made the request on a Tuesday and the attempts started the very next day. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is in need of services!

Could not recommend SG more! Dealing with an ex who makes things impossible, I ended up needing him served last minute and within a small time frame and Shawn really came through and got it done perfectly. His wife has also been extremely helpful on the back end leading up to it. Can't thank them enough!

Mr. Colascione was excellent in all aspects of my case. At the first meeting after being hired, he was able to calm my fears, and really make me feel a lot better about my upcoming case. During the time between hiring and the court date, Andrew was extremely thorough and very professional in everything he did and told me. He also updated me on the status of everything, ranging from different plea deals to just checking in to make sure I was doing all right. If I ever needed a lawyer again, he would be my first and only call. Its not always the best situations that you may need a lawyer for, but Mr. Colascione really helped make my potentially bad situation, into something much more manageable and less frightening. I originally started with a misdemeanor, and through Andrew's hard work, it was knocked down to community service and a violation. I would 100% recommend Mr. Colascione to a friend.

This was my first run-in with the law, and I was not going to take my chances with an attorney I did not trust. After meeting with Andrew and discussing how he would handle the case, I felt more than informed. He not only covered all of the bases, but was sure to let me know every possible outcome of the proceedings. From contacting the DA to finding out how my case would be recepted by the court, Andrew was completely on top of the situation. Usually people see his/her lawyer calling and groan; that was not the case for me, as I knew that Andrew was going above and beyond to keep me as involved in the proceedings as he could. I had many questions throughout the case, and Andrew answered all of them with facts and examples to back them up. It was like I was working with a friend rather than with someone who was just focused on the payout. When my court date came, I went in with confidence knowing that I was well informed on how the day would go. Needless to say, Andrew won my case and cleared me from something minor that could have potentially ruined my future.

Andrew is a very thorough lawyer. From the beginning of our professional relationship, he was attentive and kept me well informed in all matters. He made himself available and accommodated my busy schedule. Andrew is not only my lawyer, but a trusted adviser who kept me from making a very poor decision. He's meticulous and has an incredibly strong work ethic. Lucky and pleased to be his client.

Having known Jacob Fleitman for many years and working with him on many matters, I can easily say that he is one of the most professional and competent attorneys that I have ever met. Jake is passionate, top-tier, prepared and honest. I would trust and hire Jake if I ever had a personal legal matter within his scope of practice. His demeanor is very compassionate, and the legal results he achieves for his clients speak for themselves.

I began my relationship with Ms. McAvey as an Executor for a family members' estate. I was very impressed with her knowledge and the care she gave to the family. I retained her services to plan my own estate. I am grateful for the piece of mind. My family will not meet with any complications when the time comes.

From the moment my sibling, my mother and I sat down with Joanne to update mom's will and trust she has been there for us. Joanne explained (patiently thank god), every step of the way how to proceed, especially when it came time to apply for community medicaid applications, veteran applications etc. and helped so much with all the paperwork which could prove, understandably so, overwhelming. Even now going through all the estate paperwork Joanne has been in constant communication with me as she always has, with every step and every filing she does. Her whole team is aces!! I have recommended her to coworkers and friends. I, myself will be sitting down with her to do my own will. You cannot find someone who is more caring and looking out for her clients than Joanne!

If you want attorneys that know the actual law, don’t go to them. If you want attorneys that are aggressive and you feel confident that they will really fight for you, don’t go to them. If you want attorneys that call you with updates, instead of you having the need to contact them first, don’t go to them. Mark lied and stated that he has had previous interactions with my organization; however, it was evident that they had a lack of knowledge of the procedures needed. He also stated numerous times on the phone he’d help me with a restraining order but when I asked him to assist, he went ghost on me. They gave me zero guidance. I put too much trust into them and I know I could have gotten a lot more from a case with a lot of evidence and leadership mismanagement but I had zero confidence and felt they probably would have messed things up in court so I settled with a mediation. Furthermore, , to think I have to pay them 33% of a weak outcome, is blatant torture. Jennifer was ultra weak in the mediation and presented little evidence and actually stated wrong information. I am so sorry I didn’t use somebody else. Don’t use them.

I have used Sheela and her office for many legal items.
She handled my divorce, and 3 home closings for me, along with reviewing many of my mortgage refinancings (of which I was not charged). I was quoted a fee, and that was all I was charged. I read one review that disputes this. As I stated earlier, I actually got some pro bono review of a refinancing.

I USED PAT O'BRIEN FOR MY DIVORCE. SHE WAS KIND AND COMPASSIONATE, INTRESTED IN THE WELFARE OF MY CHILDREN, AND WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE I GOT A GOOD SETTLEMENT.

Pat O'Brien represented me in the closing of my home. Right from the beginning I had trouble getting in touch with her. She's not in the office much and her voice mail is alway full so you can't even leave a message. This was very frustrating and I found myself relying on the buyer's real estate agent to keep me informed of everything from the progress of the buyer's obtaining a mortgage to the date set for our closing. In the end I was more than a little suprised at her fee. It was between $400 to $500 over the average fee for a closing.
