28 Mar, 2024 by Vanilla swirl

I am so thankful to have found Mr Provost. This lawyer is extremely knowledgeable intelligent patient and thorough; and most of all honest. My case was extremely involved. I especially appreciated how easy it was to contact him. Cell, calls, text, email. I am beyond pleased with everything he did and said. The work was phenomenal as well as the outcome. He is exceptional. He has now completed cases for 4 of my friends and family and I will continue letting anyone know I highly recommend him.

Justin took over in the middle of my very messy years long divorce. I wish I had had him from the beginning as my lawyer. He was very professional and able to be firm and direct. I finally felt like I was finally being heard by my attorney and he was able to have more awarded to myself and my daughters then I would have had I stayed with my first attorney. He fought hard for me and my daughters. I have sent others to him for a consultation and they were very thankful for the information he gave.

20 Oct, 2022 by Travis

Justin represented me in a contentious custody and divorce. He was compassionate and professional through the entire process. Justin was always prepared and thinking ahead. I can not thank Justin and his team enough for their hard work.

06 Apr, 2021 by Karry

I didn't know what to expect when I started the divorce process. Justin let me know what I was entitled to. He wouldn't let me back down when I felt overwhelmed. His concern for my kids (especially my daughter) and towards me were above and beyond. Justin answered all my questions completely and thoroughly.

17 May, 2021 by Nathan

First and foremost, the Magnell Office is a cut above the rest. They were not only cordial and attentive but displayed a strong sense of trust, integrity, and reliability when taking on my case. Back in 2020, I got a speeding ticket for driving a 53 in a 30. As an out-of-state driver, I was unaware of New York's point system. Not to mention the fact that this was my first-time offense. Long story short, I would have gotten 6 pts; however, the Magnell Office brought it down to 0 pts and a fine for littering on the highway. I highly recommend this law firm. If I could, I would give them a 6 out of 5.

Glenn Magnell and his team were great to work with! During these crazy times with covid, Glenn gave me peace of mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my case. They kept me up to date and helped me with my speeding ticket. Would highly recommend!!! Great group of hard working people! Thank you!

20 Aug, 2021 by Elizabeth

Alysia and her office represented me in spring of 2021 for a residential Real Estate transaction in Dutchess County. Having worked in real estate and knowing how busy attorneys are now, I was especially pleased with how communicative they were throughout the process. In addition, her paralegal Michele’s expertise in Real Estate was extremely helpful. All in all the process was relatively seamless and I always felt my best interests were being represented. I would highly recommend Alysia for any real estate transaction.

27 May, 2021 by Genny

Alysia is the Woman you want by your side during some of the most challenging situations in your life. For me it was a divorce. A shock to my system for sure, but Alysia and her team handled our case impeccably! Diamond in the rough, one in a million and I could go on, but I won't just know that what services Alysia and her staff provide for you; its personal, you are a priority, you are heard, considered and looked out for! Don't hesitate to move forward with this team of professionals, you will not be disappointed.

Mr. Cupero handled my case with a 5 star satisfaction. His team are as wonderful as he is. They kept me informed at all times, picked up my calls each time and took their time to listen and answer all my questions and concerns throughout the whole process. They made me feel as a first on the list to help. They very thorough to help better in the case. Miss Christine, his assistant, made me feel that I was not alone in this battle, at time that I needed. I love this team for they abocated for me in the most professional, yet compassion way. I am very lucky to have found very good people who would do they best in helping me when I need them the most. With a very satisfactory settlement as well. Give them a chance, if you are in need of someone like Mr. James Cupero to help you in your legal needs.

James Cupero maintains a high level of integrity and demonstrates a level of professionalism that is unmatched. He works hard on behalf of his clients and keeps them informed of their case progress and movements.

03 Dec, 2012 by Mike

Mr. Cupero was a huge help beginning the day I met him after my car accident. If it wasn't for James, Christan, and Rachel then I would've lost so much money being out of work due to someone elses' negligence. They kept me informed throughout the whole process and made it very easy to deal with the amount of difficult paperwork involved. If you need an excellent attorney I would highly recommend Jim Cupero!!

I am so thankful that James Monroe from Dupee & Monroe P.C. handled my personal injury case . Jim Monroe was extremely professional, he answered every question, and explained every step as we moved through the process. We set clear goals of what our monetary expectations were and Jim made sure we hit those goals. Having Jim in my corner put me at ease, and made a very stressful situation an easy one. Jim and his team constantly kept me aware of the procedures and correspondents with the defendants. Often he would follow up with a phone call. I highly recommend James Monroe to anyone who may need legal advise or representation. He is the absolute best! Thank you Jim and your team!

James Monroe is an excellent lawyer. The best in Orange County, NY. He’s understanding, caring and makes you feel at ease even if you’re falling part inside. He delivers and fights for you. Highly recommend him!

James Monroe was a rock during a tough time for me. He was not just a lawyer but a true supporter. Always a phone call away, ready to answer any concerns I had with patience and clarity. It’s rare to meet someone so professional yet so personable. I’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

The Crush & Varma Law Group did a formidable job for our engineering firm in getting us registered for Authority (professional service) as a Foreign Limited Liability Company in New York State. The Foreign PLLC registration process (for non-domestic firms) is quite a tricky process in New York state. With the legal support and guidance from Crush & Varma, our firm was successfully able to get registered as a Foreign PLLC and to secure our Certificate of Authorization with NYSED within a very reasonable timeframe.

My experience with becoming one of Ms. Sajid’s clients has been calming and reassuring. I was terrified after getting pulled over in Polk County area for speeding, no proof of insurance, driving with a suspended license, and an unregistered motor vehicle (criminal charge). She was consistently well organized and kept me informed every step of the way. Ms. Sajid was incredibly cognizant on the process and was willing to do whatever it took to get points/criminal charge terminated and dismissed. I would very highly recommend Ms. Sajid.

05 Apr, 2016 by Anonymous

I had the privilege of having Ms. Sajid handle my possession case. She was very knowledgeable about possible search and seizure issues. She also took the time to explain legal concepts to me in detail and always answered/returned phone calls. It was easy to get a hold of her at any time (even after hours). I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and will be hiring her again to expunge my record. I would highly recommend her.

09 Nov, 2015 by Muhammad khan

I had the opportunity of having Ms. Pakiza Sajid work on both my court and expungement case. She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and very prompt with her responses. I had a lot of questions and she was able to answer everything in a timely manner. I would personally recommend her to my own family and friends and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring, hardworking, and smart attorney.

Betsy came on to my case at a time where I'd all but lost hope that my case would be resolved within a reasonable time frame. The original lawyer assigned to me had left the firm in what was to be a blessing in disguise. From my first in-depth conversation with Betsy, I felt a sense of relief that she'd taken over my case. Betsy is communicative, knowledgable & PRESENT. Never was I left to wonder what was happening & she always made an effort to explain each step in a precise & straightforward way. Betsy has an open, warm & refined manner, but make no mistake; she is a Bulldog in professional clothing:) I must also add that her legal assistant Victoria is a multi taskmaster & together they don't miss a beat. Thank you Sobo & Sobo; great hiring on your part

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
Ask for References:
A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
List of Questions:
Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
Financial Information:
If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
Budget Constraints:
Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

Fee Structures:
- Hourly Rate:
  Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
- Flat Fee:
  For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
- Retainer Fee:
  An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
- Contingency Fee:
  Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
- Monthly Retainer:
  For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
Factors Affecting Cost:
- Complexity of the Case:
  More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
- Lawyer's Experience:
  Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
- Geographic Location:
  Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
- Additional Expenses:
  Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
Estimating Total Costs:
Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
Negotiating Fees:
Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
Pro Bono Services:
For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
