I am a Realtor and Judith is the very first lawyer I recommend to my clients. I've worked with other lawyers over the past eight years but Judith is my pick because she is thorough, knowledgeable and she keeps me and my clients informed every step of the way. You will never get the feeling she's not on top of things or not keeping you updated. I have used Judith for my own family also and she always treats her clients with courtesy, compassion, and respect. If you want a lawyer you can trust and rely on, Judith Engelberg is the right lawayer for you.

Marc Krieg has to be one of the most kindest and knowledgeable attorneys out there. He has a great attitude inside and outside the courtroom. His personality isn't overbearing like most attorneys that I have hired. He knows how to speak with his client, jurors and judges with same type of respect he deserves in return. Always puts his client first. Thumbs up!!!

When most prominent lawyers in NYC refused to take my case because of its complexity, Mr. Goldstein and his team accepted my case. He turned the case around and was always available. Mr. Goldstein performed everything promptly. He was the best person to represent my interests. Mr. Goldstei is a highly knowledgeable person and lawyer. If you need help, he will be there by your side. Last but no least value is just incredible.

I spoke to Dagan over the phone and he said he would personally handle my case but after signing me up, he barely answered any of my calls. He was unable to answer any of my questions and would have another attorney or even his assistant call back with an answer. I'm not sure if Dagan is even practicing lawyer because he does not seem to know much. I have not heard from him in many months and it seems like he has passed my case over to another lawyer entirely. Avoid Dagan if you can.
