He wasn't able to help me because my situation needs to be venued in NYC. He offered to help me find a lawyer in Manhattan. He could've just said I can't help you or never responded at all but he didn't.

Jim is fantastic!!! I would not hesitate to get him again if God forbid, I ever need him again. He was always way on top of everything, got whatever needed to be done completed, answered my phone calls very promptly in emails if not by phone or in person. He has gone way above the call of duty. He claims he is not a miracle worker, but my son and I definitely disagree. He got us way more than we anticipated he would for my sons case. He came to see my son in the hospital when he was not able to go to Jim. Jim and the whole firm were very respectful at all times. If someone didn't know the answers we were looking for, we got the answers in a respectable amount of time. Jim and his team wants nothing but the best for their clients and their families, and does their best to put the client and the families at ease, even when they are freaking out. They understand the families and clients are facing the worst times of t heir lives, and they try to help the clients and families stay clam and focused and prepare for what lies ahead.

In 2013 I was involved in a severe bicycle accident caused by a motor vehicle. In cases such as this, no matter the evidence, the cards tend to be stacked heavily against the bicyclist. As an avid cyclist himself, Jim was intimately aware of the prejudice that bicyclists must face in the legal world, and took every step to overcome this and make sure that the (very high) costs of my medical treatment were covered by the appropriate parties. He also fought to obtain a sizeable settlement to cover the many additional costs associated with the accident, and won. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough!

I would like to share a little bit about Steve and his staff...I was injured pretty badly in a fall at no fault of my own. Nervous , scared what I would do after Er visit and 3 surgeries later Mr Proudfoot assured me all would be ok and he would handle everything and he did handle everything. I didn't worry about anything if I called his office I always got an answer but honestly I didn't really have to call. I would just to ask if they got everything they needed I would have never guessed I would have been taken care of so well as I was with him and his staff . Anyone who needs help without worrying about it should see him .

I will start by saying Mr proudfoot was not our first choice or our second but I will say third time definitely a charm. After my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident where she was involved in personal property damage, we were left wondering what exactly we were liable for concerning the other party. So we did probably what mosth people do who fell victim to whoever had the catchiest commercial on TV take it from personal experience we were so wrong lol so my wife dialed 8 and of course all we did was wait. Our first attorney made phone contact we never met anyone from that office and quite frankly sat there stale and stagnant, so much for big city lawyers needless to say. We eventually made the right decision to call Steve Proud foot I was shocked right away we met face to face with not just a paralegal but with Steve directly he gave us a rundown of the procedure and what to expect . Then steve not only went above and beyond but had many face to face meetings. Throughout this journey you could tell overtime he actually cared about my wife, her needs and took care of our family needs. He was a big city lawyer with a small town heart and when he said not to worry he would take care of everything we actually believed him and he showed us that not only does he know the case law and procedure but he talked to us so we would understand. He did just that took care of my wife's needs got us a reasonable settlement without even stepping foot in a court room. So again he got us big city results and we never left our small town atmosphere. Steve your my first call from here on out no question and heaven for bid if I need one in the future there's only 1 choice from here on out.

I was very pleased with the job that Steven Proudfoot did with my case!! I was surprised with the outcome. Attorney Proudfoot communicated with me through the whole process, and followed through with everything he said. The stress of the whole situation was lifted, and I am very thankful.

Anthony Pagano is the most personable attorney I have ever dealt with. I am somewhat shy and other attorneys I have retained in the past have treated me with condescension, making it difficult for me to communicate my needs. Anthony is one of the nicest people I have ever spoken with and immediately put me at ease. Because of his pleasant personality, I was able to easily describe a very complex state of affairs. Because of his expertise, he crafted a wonderfully appropriate contract/agreement for my unique situation. I would highly recommend Anthony. His expeditious, hospitable manner made every communication constructive, effective, and easy!

Sayles and Evans and in particular Steven Agan are great attorneys. Always timely and able to answer questions, we closed on a home sale in two weeks. Steve personally met with us at a moment’s notice and made sure we were taken care of. They are a team of true professional.
We had the worst experience with HH &K who lost us a sale due to incompetence and 6 months of doing absolutely nothing.
We will use Sayles and Evan’s in the future. 100% would recommend.

He has very poor communication skills. Not only will Matt not return your phone calls or emails but he will not even respond to the other parties attorney. Talk about unprofessional! During the consultation he seems like he will get things done for you, but the second he gets his retainer money from you he stops caring about you. He gets his payday all up front so there is no way to hold him accountable. Something else that is just not right is that when we talk about the details of my divorce offer he just emails it to the other lawyer without giving me a chance to look it over first. The other party is always given a copy of everything their lawyer does for them and even has to send it to me so that I can see it!! Divorce is not an easy thing to go through and choosing him was a HUGE MISTAKE. I wanted someone to help me navigate my way through the divorce process and tell me what has to be done but instead I feel like I am blindly stumbling through the process alone while the other party has someone actually fighting for them.
