I am so pleased with the experience Daniella and her team has provided. They were able to accomplish above and beyond what my previous lawyer did, and I am so grateful to have found them. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Thank you so much Daniella! I have already spread the word.

My son was a client of Daniella Levi & Associates, P.C. following a car accident. Daniella and her team were incredibly personable, genuinely concerned about my son’s recovery, and committed to securing the maximum settlement for him. They kept us informed every step of the way, proactively addressing any potential issues. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased with the outcome.

Mr. Neuman was instrumental in getting myself and others a settlement in a fraud case, hard working, willing to do conference calls to explain everything to all involved. He is still working on some of the claims. Confident, very busy but worth his fee, he got for us what others would not touch. Grateful to have found him. Would highly recomend him.

Before meeting with Gladys, I believed I had a strong case but lacked the confidence to navigate the complexities of court on my own. From our first consultation, she clearly outlined my legal standing, the options available, and the emotional, financial, and time investments each path would demand. Gladys’s insight was invaluable—helping me feel genuinely supported and secure, knowing that my case was in expert hands. Regardless of the outcome, having someone guide me through the process with integrity and precision made all the difference. It allowed me to stand tall, even when facing a daunting challenge. Throughout, Gladys remained thorough, thoughtful, and diligent, never missing a step. Her commitment to justice and genuine care for her clients (me!) shone through every interaction, transforming a difficult experience into a journey I felt equipped to handle. I can’t imagine how overwhelming this ordeal would have been without her wisdom and guidance. I’m deeply grateful to Gladys for making me feel heard, protected, and empowered when I needed it most. Thank you, Gladys.

Working with Gladys was an absolute relief during a very difficult period in my life. From the start, she was highly responsive, always quick to address my concerns and answer any questions I had, no matter how small. Her professionalism and dedication to my case gave me a sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the entire legal process. Her communication was always clear and consistent, making sure I understood every step. The results she achieved were nothing short of excellent, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better legal representative. I am beyond grateful to have had Gladys in my corner. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but also truly cares about their clients, look no further. Highly recommended.

Harry has been recommended to me from many people over the years, therefore when the time came for me to need an attorney, I turned to Harry. Harry is an up front type of guy, and will not waste your time or his, if the case is not something worth fighting for. He is currently representing me in a difficult case, and I KNOW I'm my heart that both him and Victoria have got it all under control. I HIGHLY recommend these two incredible, caring attorneys to anyone who needs perfect representation.

John Messer is my guardian angel! what an amazing person, and lawyer. John is the only reason I am in my home today: he worked tiressly I mean put in hour and hours of unpaid work to make sure we triumphed in my real estate purchase. I was going through a contentious divorce, needed to find a new place to live, borrowed money from my parents and found the building that was perfect for me. However first I was using this really poor real estate attorney recommended by the mortgaging bank and I almost lost the deal at the last hour! I implored John who had been working with the realtor, to help me please! I was going through real trauma already due to the divorce and there were endless problems trying to get me a mortgage and sell the deal with the crazy buyer and his old time crochety lawyer. John stepping in a took over. He was ALWAYS available phone and ALWAYS returned my phonecalls: if not him than someone in his office: in fact I got to know them there, and remarked on this once and they said, "well, you're family now! and that is exactly how I felt, treated like family. I felt that John took a personal interest in solving my situation and he brought his experience in banking to bear in solving my problem and seemed to know the right people and methods to use to push things through. John: THANK YOU!

I've had the misfortune of working with a number of real estate attorneys through various transactions over the years. Most of them have been extremely unreliable or difficult to work with, to the point of losing out on a deal due to negligence. Franzetti law, and specifically James Franzetti is different. He's practical, diligent, and very responsible. He's detail oriented when it comes to doing due diligence on real estate transactions. Most importantly, he's easy to communicate with and won't "ghost" for long periods of time. His fee is very reasonable given his level of service and results, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable real estate attorney.

James Franzetti; esquire or superhero?! He is dependable, responsive, kind, diligent, and really cared that we understood what was going on. My partner and i have never bought a home before he made this process so easy. He even went the extra mile to make sure we secured the home we wanted. I can't say enough good things. 10/10 would work with him again.
