I found Ms. Richards to be highly unprofessional, highly unethical and highly prejudicial in the execution of my parent's estate.
In my opinion, resorting to threats and bullying in an attempt to intimidate a particular beneficiary is beneath the conduct you would otherwise expect from a member of the Bar Association.
To be clear, I was not "unhappy with my parent's estate", I was shocked by Ms. Richard's behavior.
Her handling of the estate relative to administration and advice given was deplorable, and in no way represented what my parents would have wanted. If you're in the market for an estate attorney that you can trust to do the right thing upon your passing, I recommend that you look elsewhere.
I would not have even given Ms. Richards a "1 star" review, but Google doesn't accept anything less.

For a Father who has had 5 Attorneys and twice Pro-Se, I believe my review and recommendation about Warren Holds Water. I was going through a Tumultuous divorce and custody battle for 7 years until I met Warren.
The divorce process is an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience trying to find the right Attorney. Unfortunately, If you do not have the right one from the get go, things get worse. They all tell you what you want to hear, such as; I know the Judge in your case, I don’t lose custody cases, we need to get you your kid, but it takes time and we have to crawl before you walk.
All these Attorneys give you false hope and promises. The Unethical Attorneys which are most of them have their trick. Every Plaintiff and Defendant must fill out a Net Worth Statement, there they can gauge how much they are going to take you for. For me, I did pretty well before my divorce financially.
These Attorneys take a retainer from you, do a few things that make you think this Attorney is doing a good job. As time goes on and when you get more involved in the case these Attorneys start neglecting you. They don’t take your calls or respond to your e-mails. Then they tell you when you finally get in touch with them is that now we have to do a motion and that will cost $1500.00 and everything else they can milk you for. They just keep leading you on until you realize after lining their pockets that you are net getting anywhere. Well, that what happen to me until I ran out of money and had to twice represent myself which I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Warren was recommended to me by my Therapist. I made an Appointment to see Warren and he also had his Associate Andrea Scampoli in the conference room. We reviewed my case and also told him that I had 4 previous Attorneys. Now a Lawyer has to think, What is wrong with this person! But after discussing my situation and told him who my Attorneys were which he knew two of them we then began to go over my case. I than hired Warren and gave him a retainer. We started getting down to business and filed what ever motions were needed and Andrea Actually represented me in Court. There is no messing with her. She gets the job done and with in six months I had what I wanted from day one, 50/50 custody.
This team represents you with dignity and respect and are sensitive to your situation. They will always call you back and/or respond to e-mails. Warren and Andrea are the dream team when it comes to divorce. I guarantee you will not need to interview another Attorney after speaking with them. Also, once my case was over, I had a credit with Warren and within a couple of days Warren sent me a check
In closing, The other Gentleman Rick who wrote a review, I know very well as we both had the same Attorney prior to hiring Warren.

I have been a client of Warren's for the past 5 years. He has personally helped me survive the worst 2 years of my life. His professionalism and dedication to my family is unheard of.
Warren was my voice when I couldn't have one; my voice of reason when I was too emotional, and my teammate in so many ways. He was available to me whenever I needed him, including his personal time off. Warren readily responded to my emails and phone calls in a time when I needed guidance and reassurance.
Warren is a man of integrity who has fought for what I've believed to be the best for my family and has leveled with me when I was unable to see a bigger picture. He was always prepared for meetings; always preparing for the next step and kept me abreast in all conversations and decisions.
I have been blessed to have had such a wonderful man and friend in my corner, fighting to protect my family

Mr. Hoffman was sincere, compassionate and honest during a very difficult time. He listened carefully, answered all of my questions, offered advice and treated me with respect as I navigated through the many decisions I had to make for my children and I. His knowledge in divorce/separation/mediation, the County/State Court systems, judges, etc. were second to none. After hiring Mr. Hoffman, both he and his staff successfully negotiated the best possible settlement for me with no complications and in a timely manner. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Hoffman as your lawyer.

We are very happy with Mr. Mulhern's service. My husband and I were purchasing a home and felt a little in over our heads with the whole process. We heard about Mr. Mulhern through a friend (also a happy client of Mr. Mulhern). After our first meeting, my husband and I could tell that Mr. Mulhern cared about our situation. His communication skills were professional and all of our emails and calls were answered in a timely manner. Once again, we are very pleased that we chose Mr. Mulhern and plan to use him in the future.

Calling this woman an attorney feels like it would be a disgrace to the legal profession. I have been involved with Ms. Mintz for 6 years. She has been assigned as the AFC for my children in my matrimonial case. What I have observed and experienced from her within and outside the courtroom can only be described as "horrific." This woman is a chronic liar. She has completely disregarded my children and myself and has actually made decisons that have placed my children in harms way. I have also observed her taking the side of my ex-husband to a very inappropriate degree. She will actually make motions parallel to my ex and in support of everything he reports to her and that he is asking for. She is also extremely money hungry. She once told me that she did not have to listen to a word I said, then proceeded to walk away from me and asked me for $3,000 in front of the judge moments later. The lack of professionalism, underhanded and nefarious actions that she has made because of her personal feelings is so obvious that she is a danger to her profession. I implore anyone who reads that and is considering hiring Ms. Mintz to consider otherwise.

She sold me a bill of lies. She doesn't charge much, but she did so many useless things that the charges sky rocketed over $50k and for nothing. I should've just split everything 50-50 with my ex-husband. I would've had a ton more money. I guess those positive posts are old. Maybe she's gotten bad in her age. Maybe those old posts she had people come here and lie. I don't know.

Susan helped me beyond words through a custody case. I was in a fog and devastated when my exe tried to “un-mom” me. Susan was by my side through it all. We started in Nassau, and went through to the State Supreme Court. We were successful on all levels. She is professional, knowledgeable and caring! My children are my everything and I owe Susan my life. XOXO

I had the pleasure of Mr. Borrelli handling my employment matter. He is much more than I had hoped for and am very happy with the outcome. I look forward to what the future holds. Mr. Borrelli was referred to me by either the EEOC or Division of Human Rights. I highly recommend him and his firm.

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.

Long story short, this excuse for a lawyer completely screwed up my case involving a foreclosure. He is not up on current laws and I will be filing a complaint with the Bar Association. I paid this moron and he did NOTHING! NOTHING, NOTHING NOTHING! He even had the nerve to tell me to seek another lawyer specializing in probate, when my matter had NOTHING to do with probate although he claimed he knew all about probate. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

I asked a friend (who is an attorney) for a recommendation for an estate attorney and I was told to only see Patricia Harold. My mom is 94 years old and needed to rewrite her will, which was a mess from the many amendments. Patricia was professional, very patient with my mom, and extremely thorough with every detail. My brother, who is also an attorney, was very impressed with how she handled our mom's estate. Patricia is a Top Notch Professional!

I highly recommend Ms. Patricia Harold for all your estate planning needs! I never had thought about estate planning until I needed surgery and was asked if I had "everything" in place by medical staff. I always believed estate planning was only for very wealthy individuals and families but I quickly learned nothing could be further from the truth! Every person can benefit from some estate planning. So, with her years of education and experience, I hired Ms. Harold and I could not have been in better hands!
She answered all of my questions professionally and thoughtfully, and
she was attentive and sensitive to all of my needs and requirements. Her advice and guidance in my estate planning was exceptional!

Ms. Harold did our health care proxies, and my will. She was very helpful in offering advice and explained everything in great detail. She pointed out important issues that needed consideration which I had not thought of myself. She has made herself readily available for questions and always returns my calls quickly. I would definitely recommend her to those who need to do an estate plan.

Hiring Stanley Hirsch to handle my divorce, and then a support issue, was the best decision I made. He and Stephanie and Liz make a great team. They were all involved in my case, always available to talk, and sincerely listened to my concerns. Stanley had the well-being of my children and myself always at the forefront and worked the best deal for us, including me in the process so I understood and approved of everything that was happening. His integrity, honesty, and concern were evident from the consultation to the settlements. I highly recommend Stanley Hirsch.

Mr. Hirsch has represented me for over 3 years in two cases - one for child support and one for custody. He and his team are top notch. He has a lot of integrity, humanity and honesty, and based on my experience, he is very knowledgeable about all aspects of family court law. He was recommended to me by a friend and I can also recommend him very highly and without hesitation.

It is my privilege to recommend Jennifer Coden as an excellent and trustworthy divorce attorney. I believe her work would not only meet your expectations but exceed them. Jennifer Coden and her team were caring, honest , reliable, professional and got the job done. She not only represented me in court with skill and professionalism but was there for me emotionally. She can guide you through the process. I was very impressed with Jennifer's ability to state my case. I was represented better than I could have imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated with compassion. My opinions were valued and my doubts were reassured while being informed of the law. She calmed my nerves and the process was always explained. Her team, Lorie,Nicole, and Matt, always had her back when she was in court and were available for me. They kept me informed and I thank them for that. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I will recommend her as she was recommended to me. Thanks so much Jennifer for all you continue to do! You will not be disappointed if you hire her.

Most, to the best of my knowledge plan on getting divorced. I did not after many years of marriage. When that ugly day arrives one searches for the best attorney they can have. I interviewed several and knew I made the right choice when I chose Jennifer Coden. She held my hand all to often and understood what my needs were. There were many hurdles as my EX went through four attorneys, each one more incompetent than the next. Jen and her associate, Nicole Silver and their staff kept them all in check. Their professionalism, expertise in the law and often the need to educate the opposing attorneys, led to closure of my marriage and allowed me to move on. I thank them always.

I hired Jennifer a year ago after interviewing numerous attorneys to go through a very emotional divorce. As soon as I met her I knew that she was the attorney for me. She is warm, caring, friendly, patient, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. She made me feel better immediately. Many times I have had emotional days and I knew I could call her up and she would talk me through whatever it is that was bothering me. When we had to appear in Court I had full confidence in her as she was always prepared and got us in and out with no time wasted. I felt that she was very reasonable as she did not waste any time when dealing with the other side. I have recommended Jennifer to many people and they all felt the same and have thanked me for recommending her through the difficult time in their life.
