We retained Mr. Lavery to represent a family member in a criminal case and he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, accessible and, most importantly, effective, getting the charges dismissed and even expunged. We highly recommend his services.

After finding ourselves in a very uncomfortable situation with a local contractor, due to an unexpected added bill. Mr Lavery came very highly recommended. His professionalism, patience, knowledge and support were outstanding. He really took time and care to analyze the situation and explain to us were we stood legally. A big home renovation is stressful enough. When things went south quickly towards the end, having Mr Lavery in our corner was incredible peace of mind. I very highly recommend him.

Francesca is my attorney. She is honest and fair and has maintained the highest integrity throughout my divorce. She is efficient with time and money and constantly reminded me in almost every other call to be mindful of the money spent on her. She is an expert in what she does and very detail-oriented. You can depend on Francesca and can always have a candid discussion with her. She is big on compromising and closed my prolonged case economically while fighting hard for me. She has greatly supported me, my child, throughout the most challenging times and most complex divorce process. I couldn't appreciate her enough. One word—you can depend on her, and you can trust her. You tell her the situation; she will find an acceptable solution to you, protecting your interests and, surprisingly, to the other party. She has the highest level of emotional intelligence and Fantastic negotiation skills. She is rare in this field. I feel that the above qualities are scarce in this field. Monica and Wayne are paralegals to me, Monica, most of the time. They are fantastic with their follow-ups and are on time. Madison always answered the call with a great smile when called to the office, was always ready to help and be accommodating, and always made me feel like I was the most important to her. Brook is my billing team contact; she is always prompt and very courteous. With this team, I was always treated like a part of the family in the most challenging times of my life. Francesca, Monica, Madison, Wayne, Brook, and Rozin Golinder's law firm is ethical, honest, trusted, efficient, and empathetic. They became my daughter and me's extended family. I found them accidentally, but we were blessed to have such a great one. God bless you, Francesca, and your team. Thank you very, very, very, very much, and couldn't appreciate you enough!!!

The family member had a ton of issues and, some legal some not, and very limited funds, but Mr. Goll took calls at all hours of the day and night. I understand that in the mid 2000s he lost a young son to a long termillness and that devastated him. He is a very bright guy, hard working and a good lawyer, and I would recommend him

From the very beginning, he responded to all my questions and set clear expectations about the entire process. He made sure I understood every step along the way, and he was always accessible when I needed him. Mr. Kroll truly made such a challenging experience feel much smoother and easier. I'd gladly recommend Mr. Kroll to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer.

I had began a process to do a name change on my property deed in February and paid in full. Every couple of months I checked in and saw that that there was no progress. I received explanations that the process is stalled or the application was rejected but after 7 months I called the county clerk and discovered that it was not showing as rejected because they had never even received an application. It is now September and no one is getting back to me despite repeated attempts to contact the office.

I hope people see this review as well as the others on this site before hiring Kaitlin. My time with Kaitlin representing me through a long drawn-out case was a constant struggle for proper communication, timely responses to both me and the court, dealing with her showing up late, and making sure she was doing her "homework" on our case. It is disappointing to say the least because I happen to find Kaitlin to be personable and likable under possibly different circumstances. After having her represent us over two years, I think her main issue is not wanting/being unable to put in the work when it is needed most. She fails to deliver because she avoids, and procrastinates, ...and avoids, and procrastinates because of personal issues. I happen to know it is due to these issues, because during my last and final meeting with her (before her firm let her go) she broke down and cried to me about them. On one hand, I am an empathetic person who was kind enough to hear her through, but on the other hand was outraged that these tears came shortly after I had presented her with a string of documented emails and calls that had been unanswered for two months!! During this period of my trying to contact her, there were time sensitive issues occurring that were being blatantly ignored by her. When finally called out and had no other excuse to turn to, she broke down about her personal life. I'm sorry, but I am not her college professor, therapist, doctor, parent, or friend, and happen to have paid quite a bit of money for her services. I found this to be distasteful and unprofessional. Having to work with Kaitlin added an element of stress I didn't need, as my case alone was stressful enough. Why was I paying to babysit my lawyer? It is my opinion that Kaitlin needs to walk away from this profession, or find a way to consult on legal issues but not actually litigate. While I gave her a low rating on being "knowledgeable" I do think she has the capacity to know the in's and out's of her field, but under her current circumstances she is clouded and unable to perform. Additionally, while this is a pretty tame review considering the amount of stress she has caused me, I must adamantly reiterate that I do NOT recommended her, and honestly wish she had not represented me from the start. I was able to obtain the file she had on my case, and looking back I can see the shortcuts, dishonest practices (not informing me of evidence, etc), and sloppiness she delivered throughout the case. It is such a shame that a seemingly intelligent woman is unable to deliver even the bare-minimum. If you take a look at her resume, she is unable to stay with a firm more than a year, and from what I have heard and read - she has left on poor terms with almost all of her employers. I hope she does everyone a favor, and moves on from representing people in real-need of legal services.

Atty Review — I hired Attorney Finkelstein for a closing in July 2004. This was the time there was limited Internet reviews and word traveled via word of mouth or a random call to a person for services. I’m glad we connected and have used his services even later! Being a first time home buyer there is always some nervous energy and an element of unknown. Besides this, this transaction was getting difficult because of a bidding war, despite offering above asking price. Additionally, this the Seller was having some arguments where both the parties were not signing documents. Terry stepped on affirming a firm deal and was tremendous in getting the closing done. Even on the day or closing, the other party had some issues and final walk thru revealed the house was not in the expected condition. However, being practical, a small retainer was kept and the other party was allowed some time to clear out the house the same day. I stayed in that house for 16 years! I may post additional reviews given the unique aspect of real estate transactions for Terry - he assisted in 2017, 2019 and 2020. Highly recommended.

I hired her a few years back when she worked for another firm. She left that firm without giving me any kind of notice. I didn’t find out for some time until I contacted the firm.

She seems like a nice person but is totally incompetent as a lawyer. She handled my case and totally messed it up. She intended to handle a motion made by the adversary without ever meeting me. What attorney doesn’t meet their client before arguing a motion? I insisted on a meeting prior to the motion and she saw me the day before. I taped the meeting so I could recall everything they was said. When I listen to it back she basically listened and never asked a question. At the motion, she totally messed up. First, I never got to see the judge. Only Alison and the other attorney saw the judge in chambers. She came out with a consent order that was so balanced to the other side you would think she worked for them. Alison coerced me to sign it by saying the following three things 1) if I didn’t sign the judge wouldn’t like me 2) the court was closing soon and if I didn’t sign we would have to come back the next day at an extra travel expense charge and 3) that after the motion is resolved the case usually settles quickly so I shouldn’t have to pay so much pendent lite support for that long. All wrong. Bad advice and to boot, the day of the motion she was late. An attorney should represent your interests and Allison surely didn’t. Alison- you should know who I am - if you have the courage to - call me.

Petra Vavra showed up to my deposition ( she was assigned as my attorney by her firm Martin, Kane & Kuper ) wearing Yoga Pants and ballet slippers. She was completely unprepared. I was not surprised to see that she was a scuba instructor because that seemed more fitting. When I arrived at the opposing counsels office, she was chatting with him behind close doors. She wasn't aware that I could hear them but it sounded as if they were dating. This case turned out very badly for me. Law is serious and you need a serious lawyer. So, please keep looking for an attorney who really wants to help you.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.

    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.

    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
