I had a case that three other lawyers told me it wouldn’t be done and I had almost given up until Joe had taken my case and fought hard until k not only did he change the case from it being all my fault which it wasn’t in the first place he helped correct the false police report and he helped me win the maximum amount I could win from the case so I am so thankful to Joe and the whole law firm for fighting for me.

Nothing but great things to say about Restivo & Murphy, and in particular Joe Parisi! From the moment we sat down, I knew I was in good hands. Joe listened intently and patiently answered my questions. He explained how he would proceed, and discussed possible outcomes. Highly knowledgeable in all facets of liability litigation. Thanks to Joe, the case ended in with very successful outcome.

I want to thank Joe Parise from Restivo & Murphy for all of the hard work on my son’s case. Not only did he get a great result, he made us feel at ease throughout the whole process with his care and professionalism. They came highly recommended and we couldn't have been happier.

I cannot recommend Robert A. Miklos, Esq. and David L. Saxman, Esq. highly enough. My husband suffered a catastrophic stroke, and we were facing an incredibly challenging and uncertain future. They took our case to trial and fought tirelessly on our behalf. Their expertise in medical malpractice claims helped secure a significant settlement, ensuring that my husband's future medical care would be covered, while also providing compensation for the pain and suffering he endured. The professionalism, dedication, and compassion they showed throughout the entire process gave us peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. I am deeply grateful for their hard work and highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of legal representation.

I am so happy and relieved I found out about Mr Guistino 😫 I was at risk for almost paying 1.2K-2K in traffic fines to Nassau, getting about 10-12 points on my license and losing my job if I went over 6 points on my drivers license!!! He charges a GREAT AMOUNT, he’s legit and honest. He sent me his card info just so he can verify he is who he say he is! I had 3 tickets opened, 2 of which he got closed & the next one is just a simple fine w/ no points added I have to pay. IF YOU ARE LOOKING 👀 GET TO BOOKING!!! 10 🌟 ‼️

My third child just got his Drivers License recently and was still under 18. He got a speeding ticket in Long Beach. I called over 10 different lawyers to see who would be the best one for his speeding ticket case. In the first few minutes I spoke to Mr Giustino I immediately knew I found the lawyer to represent my son.
He was first off very knowledgeable and told me right away his method for representing my son In court. Every other lawyer I called advised they would get back to me with next few hours for payments and process. He also charged the best price for his services and I now know he undercharged us for his superb representation in court. He should charge more money for his services. The end result my young son received no points on his license and we only paid a parking ticket for his speeding ticket. Mr Guistino represented us with care and excellent customer service like we were members of his family. He advised us of all steps of claim all the way till the date of the court appearance we did not have to attend if you do not use Mr Guistino for all things legal representation you will regret it please use Mr Guistino for all your legal needs he is the best there is.

To answer: I was never given the option to become a client of your firm.
Your offices reviewed my matter and declined to represent me.
I don't have a problem with this, but what does bother me (and the reason for my 1 star review) is that your attorney didn't even offer a cursory explanation of why he declined to represent me. He simply had his secretary call and tell me that he wouldn't pursue the matter.
It's a lack of basic professionalism, and bothered me enough to rate your firm 1 star.

Prior to this year, I never had the need to engage a personal injury attorney but that changed when a third party created a hazard causing my injury. A friend recommended John and I’m glad I reached out. During my initial consultation, John set expectations, discussed next steps, potential outcomes and assigned Brian to my case. Brian navigated the process expertly and brought an unwavering focus to my case. His professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping a client is unmatched. My goal was for the third party to be held accountable for their gross negligence to hopefully prevent them from doing this to someone else. I believe John, Brian and team achieved this goal by securing an exceptional settlement for this type of injury. I highly recommend John, Brian and Schwartzapfel Lawyers.

Diana Bronnberg (together with her team: Nicole and Kristen) provided me with outstanding legal services in the time frame of about two years, as they were helping me with my w. compensation case. From the moment I met her I knew I was in good hands and that she will do everything in her power to expedite my case and help me to get the most possible benefits that I can get. She and her team were always available to me and as soon as I would called them, send text message or made a phone call, the response was immediate and all the answers straightforward and very clear, with no delays or any uncertainty. I have a very inquisitive mind and I am not very patient by nature, so I was frequently asking a lot of questions and constantly inquiring about the progress of the case, but even though I was being somewhat "annoying" client, Diana and her team were always nice, prompt and extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and eagerly meeting all my legal needs, always being kind, polite and very professional. I cannot even find one complaint and post it here, simply because no complaints exist in my personal experience of having Diana and her team as my legal team. I have received outstanding legal help from them, most professional and highly experienced legal expertise and at the end they were able to close my case very successfully, to my benefit, because they've managed to have me receive the highest amount of $, swiftly finalizing the settlement, like proven pros!!!
I extremely highly recommend Diana as the best lawyer, and her legal team as well and I wish them all the best in their future endeavors and may they keep up the most excellent work in their field in the years to come!
Many Blessings!
Gratefully Yours,
N.B. from NY :)

Ms. Bronnberg was a great help with my compensation case. At first I tried doing it on my own. The insurance company just confussed me. When I hired Ms. Bronnberg she took care of everything. If I had any questions and I called her office she was always quick to call back. She got me a good settlement and a medical set a side.
I also recommended Ms. Bronnberg to my sister the City of New York gave here the run around. Thanks to Ms. Bronnberg things got settled for her too.

Hired for feloney. Is knowledgable, is also respected, does NOT explain legal information ENOUGH. Should look at the whole picture and not month to month court appearances and his colleague boasts but does not talk legalities in court. It makes a client feel untrusting. and he was rude and embarrassing at times at court. His colleague are interested in self advancements and not about YOU the client but he has a better heart now that he is an elder.

One of the worst decisions I made in my life was hiring Melvin Stein and his horrible office staff after my wife filed for divorce.
His main goal is to bill bill bill and he has zero negotiating skills. His idea of negotiating is writing emails back-and-forth full of legal mumbo-jumbo, with no substance most of the time difficult to understand and give you the long and rambling feeling. He loves to show up to court, even though there’s nothing to discuss Again another money grab if anybody is thinking of hiring him, I can only say run the other way fast. He gives you time frames and promises that never come to fruition. He does not take any direction from his client like myself..

Mike is the attorney of choice for us because he stood up for us and saw the closing to the finish line. My family has done several transactions over the decades and this one turned into a disaster with the buyers. Mike stood up and got us to the happy ending by being very tactful and knowledgeable of the closing laws in NY.
His persistence in seeing the deal through was admirable and he never let us down but talked us down multiple times. His fees were the most reasonable and fair for the length and amount of hours spent to culminate the deal. We will be using his services again!!!

His persistence. professionalism (despite the opposing counsel being rude and unprofessional - Mitchell always took the high road), knowledge, strategical tactics, and intuitiveness were second to none.
