We hired Alan Smikun to work on a private mortgage loan that was in default. He handled the case with care and attention to detail. He was able to take quick and decisive action on a matter that had no time to waste. I and my family are quite grateful for his up front sincerity and quick actions. His communication skills and experience were exactly what we needed. It was a difficult case that other attorneys did not want to take on. Alan got to work on it with urgency and did not let up until it was resolved.
I've dealt with a lot of lawyers over the years in personal and business matters and Alan certainly stands out as someone with skills and earnestness. We're glad we found him and will be using him and recommending him in all future related issues.

Attorney Myatt, and her staff reflect the best of her profession. She is thorough and fully researches her cases. The office communicate regularly concerning the case status and is always available to answer questions. Renee's office has handled estate and real estate matters for our family for several years. In her specialty there is none better! We are grateful to have found her.

If I would've known that 30 years of experience would get me no results. I wouldve simply taken my money some where else. Renee Myatt will take your case knowing that your case is not within her areas of her practice. Her area of expertise is Real estate, but if the price is right she will be your divorce, family, criminal, and bankruptcy attorney. She is incredibly incompetent and disorganized when it comes to your representation. She does not know how to inform you of important events regarding your case. For all the money you pay her all you get in return is a bunch of excuses at to why she cannot do what you hired her to do. Hiring her is a waste of time and money. She will get paid to loose your case and this is a fact.

Judge Lisa Friederwitzer should be fired! Her childhood trauma is clouding her judgment! She put a child in danger and she knows it and is ok with it!

She was nasty and vile, yelling and disrespectful. Her summation was redacted to demonize me. It was false and full of lies. She removed my child from my home after three years without cause. Ms. Friederwitzer forced a trial without cause and ignored horrible evidence that promotes pedophilia. She modified an order dating it back to July 15, 2022 for an accusation made on December 7, 2022. The ruling judgement was nonexistent until then. The father has contradicted her colorful law and she falsified documents in attempt to still save him.

This judge has child trauma that is unresolved and any proceeding that is similar to her own situation will receive what she may believe to be short comings in her own family's custody battle. There is no way the Family Court's "Poster Child" can have an unbias opinion. She needs to be removed and her cases need to be reviewed for accuracy. She's disrespectful, full of opinions and overlooks the facts. Brooklyn, poor choice with this one!
