I was involved in a really bad situation that would've cost me points on my license and a misdemeanor on my record. The court appointed me an Attorney who told me that the D.A. wasn't willing to negotiate and I should just accept having points on my license and a criminal offense on my record. I thought about it and told him " I'll think about it".. The next day I said a prayer and God told me " Get an Attorney, who isn't court appointed !!! ". I searched the internet and came across " The Law Office of Kenneth Mollins". After reading the awesome reviews , I gave them a call. I spoke with Tim and he assured me that he will keep fighting until I got the best deal available. He kept fighting for me until I walked away with an offer of no points on my license, a traffic ticket, and a reasonable amount of time to pay it. I highly recommend their Law Office because they are extremely knowledgeable, competent, helpful, affordable and they patiently address any questions or concerns you may have as a client. They will always be my go to Law Firm.

Olivier and his Paralegal Stephanie did an outstanding job with our immigration issues. The process was smooth, efficient and professional and we received the exact outcome we wanted. Throughout the process, there was constant transparency and communication to resolve our issues. Highly recommend Roche Law Group to anyone who needs help with USCIS or immigration related issues.

I’ve worked with the Roche Law Group for almost 5 years as they’ve handled my immigration case. The firm has made my process as seamless as possible. They’ve provided resources, guidance, and reassurance through a very strenuous process. This process would have been very different had it not been handled by them. They’ve made it a personable and tolerable experience while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and demonstrating tremendous skill along the way. I highly recommend them for any legal needs one may have.

You cannot say nothing bad about Bataresh Pammer. When I meet with George Pammer for the first time. He made me feel comfortable with the stress I was going through. I also received addition support from his team of partner Claudia Bataresh and his Para Legal Michelle Vincent. It made a world of difference to me. I later learned from my niece that George was rated Super Lawyers NY Metro Rising Stars for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and most likely 2025 which I did not know. She was worried about me as to who will represent me fairly during this stressful time. Now I fully understand why he is the mark of excellence. You might pay a little more than most divorce attorneys do but in the end, you know where that extra went. Protecting your interest and assets. Very happy I made the right choice.

After joining Legal Shield and working with Attorney Brook who guided me at every step and later when I worked with other associates I was pleased.
However, now that I am asking for guidance my queries are not being responded to — now is the time when I need support the most.
I will continue having Legal Sheild and FKM by my side as it’s a huge comfort for someone at my age and in my situation.
Sincerely,
Sohaila Pirani

STOP! Do Not Look Any Further! Robert is your man!
I have been dealing with my ex and her family literally since my son was born in 2011 and them trying relentlessly to get full custody of him. After the first three court fights with a different attorney and trying to appease demands and doing what was best for my son, that still was not good enough.
During my 3rd court fight in 2018, I reached out to Robert because I realized this was not going to stop. Even though I had another attorney at the time, I placed a retainer with Robert as well. I knew I would need someone more aggressive for a bigger fight that would come in the future. I wanted Robert to be familiar with my case and to plan for it. Well, that 4th fight came this year (2023-2024), and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch! He will NEVER let you be bullied or give an inch on what you legally deserve. So much so, during this 4th court fight, Robert was able to modify my previous court orders (in favor of me), while the opposition filed custody petitions, enforcement petitions, and modification petitions. All of which failed!
Robert is still on retainer! Because as of today, the next time/the LAST TIME/the most important time...will be on our terms! Already preparing.
DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Montefusco and Maureen! You truly are who you say you are!
Sincerely, Mr. Hampton

I had case for unpaid overtime and two other lawyers blew me off because it wasn’t enough. They didn’t even know details. I found Peter online , he responded fast and invited me in for a free consultation. He quickly knew all angles to build a decent case. I received a decent settlement in months , NOT YEARS. He is thorough and responsive and gave excellent advice. I don’t usually leave reviews but Peter truly deserves one for a job well done !

Peter Romero is an excellent Attorney. He really listened to me . My case was emotionally draining to discuss but he provided me not only with the emotional support but with the confidence I lacked to stand up for my rights. His hard work and dedication to his practice showed through Our mutual respect for one another and my confidence in him sealed the deal. Stress free! I was so worried put he reassured me and predicted the outcome successfully.

The lawyers I have dealt with in the past, have left me with no confidence or security. Mr. Peter Romero was very knowledgeable assertive and proactive. Whenever I called him and left a message, he would always return my call the same day. He discussed my options and answered all of my concerns. I highly recommend Peter Romero to anyone who needs a Labor and employment Litigator. I want to personally thank him for his professionalism and for making my case run smoothly and in a timely manner. Sincerly Bob

Chris Chimeri and John Whiteman are two excellent attorneys who helped me, guided me, and made me comfortable every step of the way in my divorce case. John Whiteman ran with my case and brought it to a very successful conclusion, I couldn’t have asked for better representation or a better outcome. Also my thanks to their support staff specifically Shawneice Belin who went above and beyond to help me navigate through this entire process. I would absolutely use Quatela and Chimeri again for any of my legal needs and would highly recommend them to anyone I know in need of legal services.

My attorney, John P. Whiteman is an excellent attorney of the highest caliber. I utilized John’s services for my divorce case and would highly recommend him to anyone I know in need of a divorce attorney. John was extremely helpful, advised me very well throughout the case, and consistently kept me in the loop. He was realistic and down to earth, very easy to talk to and relate to. He always provided the best advice while not being overly pushy at the same time. He proved himself to be very knowledgeable and was always in my corner. He was aggressive when i needed him to be but also calm and easy for the other side to deal when needed. In the end he did an amazing job for me and i would highly recommend him to anyone i know in need of his services. An excellent attorney and a great guy !!

Edward Palermo is an extremely gifted attorney. I know well as he represented me and my family recently. Previously I worked for a number of lawyers over the years so can well differentiate between the not so good and the great. Ed is great. He's well versed in the law, and has extreme expertise in dealing with the Police, District Attorneys and most importantly Judges as well. He leaves his clients feeling confident and in good hands. Ed goes the extra mile for you and always gets back to you to answer any questions you have. He's a fantastic attorney!

Ok, Edward is a great man, but, after my case, wich had many errors it seemed he wanted a quick result and not to fight, and also currently text after text and email after email me being abused by my probation officer (with proof) I felt blown off and no call back, no email back or nothing, and Ed knows I am in the final stages of disability and medication for Anxiety and Depression are so high now, It takes two seconds to call someone back, now I have to get another attorney.

I retained Ian for both child support and custody. In child support he was able to set my child support at a number way less than what I should be paying. I hired Ian to represent me in custody, he answers every phone call and every text. During the process I never felt alone. If I got frustrated and carried away he would make sure that I would remain professional and would not tolerate it. Because of him I now I have a set schedule with my children, he stopped my narcissistic children’s mother from controlling and manipulating everything she could get her hands on. Thanks to Ian my kids have stability and they can be in their father’s life without having any issues. Ian is a man of hard work and he doesn’t stop until you get what you want.

I was facing serious traffic charges that could have resulted in significant fines and license revocation among other things. Luckily by chance, I found David Arpino's firm online and I am incredibly grateful that I did.
Mr. Arpino was able to identify and highlight the crucial procedural defects in the police paperwork. Once found, he crafted and filed a motion to dismiss the charges.
Mr. Arpino's expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He kept me informed every step of the way, clearly explaining the legal complexities and outlining the best course of action. His strong skillset in the knowledge of the law helped alleviate much of the stress I was dealing with during my license suspension. Mr. Arpino significantly increased my influence and wanting to understand and learn the law related to my case and what to expect during legal proceedings.
The process took several months, but thanks to his skillful representation, the Court ultimately granted the motion to dismiss the charge(s) against me. To simply put, the Prosecution (The People) had no defense and even argued points of the Law that were irrelevant to the case.
I cannot explain how much I appreciate Mr. Arpino's efforts. His legal commitment to the case was truly exceptional. I highly recommend his services to anyone facing traffic or other legal challenges. Mr. Arpino is not only a skilled attorney but also a strong advocate who fought for my rights.

She was worried about me as to who will represent me fairly during this stressful time. Now I fully understand why he is the mark of excellence. You might pay a little more than most divorce attorneys do but in the end, you know where that extra went. Protecting your interest and assets. Very happy I made the right choice.

After joining Legal Shield and working with Attorney Brook who guided me at every step and later when I worked with other associates I was pleased.
However, now that I am asking for guidance my queries are not being responded to — now is the time when I need support the most.
I will continue having Legal Sheild and FKM by my side as it’s a huge comfort for someone at my age and in my situation.
Sincerely,

OMG! How do I even put words together to explain what an awesome Attorney John Caffrey is. Found him on the web & he responded quickly to hear my situation. Hired him immediately after our talk. I have been in a domestic issue where my X played the victim & had a restraining order against me for years. The DA wouldn't budget. Today I celebrate the freedom & all charges dropped against me thanks to John. He is a straight up Attorney with no gimmicks & he is there to protect you & fight for you in the best way of your situation. THANK YOU JOHN CAFFREY for being my Hero & ending this nightmare for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. Good luck to everyone
