I worked with Geri for about three years as I was going through a divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable in marital law, and she was very understanding of both sides of the case, which was very important to me.
Geri provided clear guidance as each area of the divorce proressed, and she was a great communicator. Geri worked very hard for my case while not forgetting that she was dealing with many emotions and individuals who had been in a long term marriage.
Geri is highly professional and very easy to work with, she is definitely one of the best attorneys in the Capital Region.

I've never hired an attorney before and working with Geri Pomerantz was a very positive experience. She was never too busy to answer questions or provide clarification, and helped me to easily and quickly understand all my options. Even though getting divorced wasn't an easy decision, Geri handled my case in a timely manner with a great deal of sensitivity. I feel complete confidence and trust in Geri's abilities and knowledge, and would definitely hire her if I ever require legal counsel again.

His name is no longer on the sign, but I met with him several times six years ago and 2 weeks ago at this office. Joe Liccardi is a crook. Six years ago he took $500 from my boyfriend to file a will and provided me a signed copy along with the receipt for receiving $500 cash, and kept the original in the office. I was there when the will was signed. Upon his passing last month I contacted and met with Joe with the copy he gave me in hand. Not only did Joe act as if we had never met, he also denied having the original will, which I witnessed him telling one of his assistants to "file (it) and shred the old one (will)" on the very same day it was signed, witnessed, notarized, provided me a copy and received $500 cash. My boyfriend and I were both there. He did NOT provide us the original, if he did what would be the point of providing us a copy? How can they not have it in their files? My signed copy lists Joe as the executor, how can he not have it? Everyone knows the standard rule is to keep all files for at least seven years? Now my daughter, NOT me is being robbed of her inheritance. Something Shady is going on. I'm currently in the process of probating my father's estate with another firm, this is not foreign territory for me. Please don't insult my intelligence. Please take your business elsewhere.

i am a current client. still with pending cases in his hands which have already been paid in full for. He never returns phone calls, is almost impossilbe to get in touch with. Staff gets mad at you for calling, yet he never calls back regardless of importance of call. I would go else where if I had more money, but he took all we had to cover cases. Since then, its been over a year with no change in his proffesionalism to his client.
co-defendants with free lawyers seem to get more contact and information from their public defenders. Who knew, I could have saved thousands.
