I had a fantastic experience working with Jenny and Spina to purchase my home and would recommend them to anyone. They were knowledgable, warm, and responsive. They explained confusing concepts and relentlessly followed up on delays. I can't imagine how much more stressful the process would have been without them!

This is our returning case with Attorney Park, and our experience with him was good this time as well! I had to process I-485 at the start of COVID outbreak, which just made everything very unpredictable and difficult. However, he gave suggestions on how to fill the required documents accurately, provided us the expected time frame, and answered questions as needed. Thanks to his help, I was able to receive the Green Card within 18 months.

I have turned to Rachele in the past when I needed legal advice starting my business. It was not her area of law. She took the time to help me find a good attorney that could help me. She really cares about people. That’s not easy to find in an attorney. She sent me to someone she knew and she knew would do a good job. I highly recommend Korman & Van Arsdale for ALL your legal needs. Even if they don’t do what you need they will send you to other good people they trust.

Rachele is one of a kind. One of my co-workers got hurt badly on the job. Her firm went above and beyond to help him and his family. My wife and I have turned to Rachele in the past personally when we needed legal advice starting my wife’s business. It was not her area of law. She took the time to help my wife find a good attorney. I highly recommend Korman & Van Arsdale for any of your legal needs especially construction and work accidents. They are on the preferred legal provider list for local 3 IBEW and know the contracts and benefits like the back of their hand.

As a practicing NY attorney I absolutely recommend Korman & Van Arsdale. I’ve personally known, and worked together with Rachele on numerous cases over the years since we met over a decade back at a New York State Trial Attorneys event. Rachele is an organized, hard worker, who together with her partner and the rest of attorneys at their office, always zealously represent their clients maximizing the value of every case they prosecute. They’re a pleasure to work with, and will be an asset for whatever legal needs you may have.

My family and I couldn’t be more pleased with the knowledge, professionalism, and legitimate care we received from the Law Offices of Roman Aminov in helping us with our estate planning. Their team was quick to respond to our initial call - on a weekend no less - and was able to provide us with an immediate consultation that Monday, which was very important to us. They quickly got our paperwork prepared over the course of only a few days, and soon after they invited us to sign the documents where they offered us the highest quality service. They were patient and informative. We couldn’t have asked for more. My family and I highly recommend their team. You won’t regret it.

Terri is really the best traffic court attorney in NYC.
I had a cellphone ticket( 5 points) and an improper turn (2 points) dismissed. She knows the ins and out of the courts and really has success. I pity the officer during his cross examination of Terri. Tried many attorneys before someone recommended her. Would not go anywhere else. She also happens to be a really nice person and her prices are really fair.

Lisa's professionalism, expertise and dedication made the condo sale closing in NYC a seamless experience for me. From our initial phone conversation, I was at ease with the process. Her transparent communication about the steps involved and the associated costs demonstrated her professionalism. Lisa consistently kept me informed on the progress, diligently following up with the buyers' attorney and the broker. Her proactive approach in addressing open issues contributed to a timely closing. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa, especially for out-of-state residents selling their apartments in the city.

Lisa & her team were extremely communicative throughout the entire process as well. They answered all my emails in a timely manner, communicated with all parties efficiently, and arrived early on the day of closing to make sure everything was good to go. Everything was handled with a high level of professionalism. I would hire her again.

송변호사님 항상 친절하시고 궁금한게 있으면 잘 답변해주셔서 좋았어요. 교통사고 후 소개받아 의뢰하게 되었는데 정말 만족스럽습니다. 중간중간 follow-up도 잘 해주시고 client입장에서 일해주셔서 정말 감사했습니다. 주위에 추천하는건 물론 앞으로도 이런 일이 생기면 변호사님께 다시 의뢰할 예정입니다.

송앤박 변호사 사무실의 정보를 얻을 수 있었던 것은 제게 큰 행운이었습니다. 주위에 사례들을 들어보면 변호사를 잘 못 만나 오히려 불이익을 격는 경우들을 많이 보았기에 더욱 그렇게 생각합니다. 송변호사님은 언제나 통화가 가능하였고 사건에 관한 상세한 설명과 앞으로의 진행 과정도 매우 꼼꼼하게 챙기고 대처하여서 신뢰를 가질 수 있었습니다. 그리고 인격적인 면에서도 매우 바르고 훌륭한 변호사입니다. 특히 마지막까지 의뢰인에게 최대한 이익이 가도록 최선을 다해 준 것은 자신의 이익 만을 생각하는 것이 아니라 의뢰인 편에서 일하는 변호사임을 알 수 있었습니다. 한인 커뮤니티에 사고상해 변호사 광고들이 많이 난무하고 있지만 이렇게 믿고 맡길 만한 변호사는 없을 것입니다. 감춰진 진주같은 좋은 변호사님입니다. 갑자기 사고를 당하신 분이 있으셔서 고민하면서 서치하는 분이 혹 있으시다면 저의 경험에서는 최고의 사고 상해 변호사님으로 적극 추천합니다.
(추가로 저의 경우 폐차 처리와 상대 보험회사에 차량 보상에 관련한 변호사 비용을 청구하지 않으셨고, 오직 서류 비용 만을 청구 하셨으며, 더 놀라운 것은 개인 교통비 및 추가 비용은 일체 청구하지 않으셨으며, 오직 법정 변호사 수임료만을 청구하셨습니다. 그 변호사 수임료도 마지막 일을 모두 처리하고 제게 돌아오는 보상금을 지급한 후에 받으셨습니다.)

We had an immigration case that appeared hopeless. Change of status denied, ordered to leave the country. We hired Liping Shi. Her and her staff have a level of attention to detail that is amazing! Communication was always fast, her office was very responsive. She filed a waiver and all other documents for change of status. It was a lot of work, a lot of documentation, and over a year of time, but the result was waiver approved and "green card" issued!! If you have an immigration case, Liping Shi is the right attorney to hire!!!

I had the opportunity to interact with Mr Kasen on phone and what started off as a brief consultation (that he did not bill for) ended up being a 30 minute conversation where he not only understood everything about our case, but provided sincere advice and guidance. In my 30 minutes of conversation, he took serious efforts in explaining the intricacies of the system, our case and the steps we will need to take in order to get a favorable judgement in our favor.
All in all, we highly recommend Mr Kasen for he has a solid depth of knowledge and a complete grasp on concepts of immigration law.

Let me start off by saying he is not my attorney. Though I wish he was. I contacted Mr. Flatt with some clarifying question I had regarding my case, seeing that I was not getting the answers from my own attorney. This man is AMAZING! He listened to my concerns, then took the time to explain step by step what was actually going on with my case. He is extremely knowledgeable around workers comp law and will certainly steer you in the right direction. Most important, he will take the time to be sure you have a full understanding about your case and advise you on best next steps. It is with great appreciation I recommend this Lawyer.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:
-
What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case. -
How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses. -
What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience. -
What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
Who will be working on my case?
Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals. -
How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times. -
