Mr. Gordon is one of those rare people who is generally concerned with you as a person and the outcome of your case. He lets you know the different approaches that can be taken in your case and which, he feels, would be most effective. When he represents you, he's is fully in your corner. I liken him to the sweetest pit bull you could ever meet. He has handled several problems for our family, all with positive outcomes. I would highly recommend Mr. Gordon for all your legal needs.

Gary Field is an efficient and competent attorney whom I find is rare in this field. His knowledge, professionalism, and integrity, are key ingredients which makes a great attorney. He has the respect of his colleagues and the administrators in the judicial system.
Gary is extremely understanding and emphatic when it comes to handling complicated divorce and child custody issues. During my legal issue Gary suffered a personal loss in which that did not deter him the following day for appearing in court to ensure my visiting rights was granted. Unfortunately I did not find Gary until the middle of my legal issue which at that point went in the wrong direction very quickly and seemed that I would lose all my rights. Gary was successful in turning the opposition and getting my issue on better terms. I am grateful that I found Gary when I did or my case would have been lost.

I hired Eve-Lynn Gisonni and Gisonni Law Firm to fight a notoriously awful disability insurance company that was threatening to cut off my benefits. From the first day I met with her, she left me feeling at ease and she was completely in control of my situation. She was always available to answer all of my questions and it was obvious that she had many, many years of experience in disabiity insurance law and fighting Unum. When I went to leave this review, I noticed that someone left a really mean-spirited review about Eve-Lynn and her firm. None of the criticisms left by that person are what I experienced with Eve-Lynn. It appears that that person must not be well. Let me be specific. I had telephone and email access to Eve-Lynn whenever I needed to address any questions I had or issues that had arisen. I felt that Eve-Lynn's hourly charges for the work she did for my case were very fair and in fact less than what most disability lawyers wanted to charge me when I was looking for a lawyer. She promised to send me monthly billing statements, and I received one every month. Her bill descriptions were really detailed, and because of that, I never had any questions about the bill. Eve-Lynn always explained the issues to me in a way that made sense, and she was really good at keeping me informed of everything that was happening on my case. I would recommend Eve-Lynn and her firm to anyone having trouble with a disability claim. You need only read about her success stories, like I did when I decided to hire her firm, to see that she is a leader in the disability field and has helped a lot of people.

The Gisonni Law Firm, P.C. consists of solo practitioner Eve-Lynn Gisonni, Esq. and her secretary Kari Labadie. Gisonni was overwhelmed by my litigation and was not prepared to take it to trial. She stated to me that my case had taken "years off [her] life."
Communication. (1) In order to speak with Gisonni by telephone, I was required to schedule a telephone conference and to identify the topics I wished to discuss. For most of the telephone conferences, I was billed for "preparation" of the telephone conference. (2) Just once or twice I was able to speak with Gisonni by placing a random, unscheduled telephone call. (3) When we met, Gisonni and I would discuss various matters and agree to various things. Subsequently, generally one or two days later, Gisonni would send e-mail contradicting or changing our agreements.
Billing. I repeatedly asked for regular monthly statements. I never got them. Gisonni was either unwilling or unable to produce regular monthly statements.
Settlement. The decision to settle a lawsuit or proceed to trial rests with the client. Gisonni thinks otherwise. She tried to force me to settle my lawsuit. More than once, I reminded her that the decision to settle or proceed to trial was mine and not hers. She did not agree.
Discharge. After fully litigating my case, Gisonni stated to me that if I did not settle the case, she would not try the case. Gisonni had the audacity to state that her litigation retainer agreement did not include a trial! I almost filed a grievance. Gisonni was discharged and I settled the case on my own.

Diane was hired as my real estate attorney through my real estate agent. Throughout the process she was very condescending on the phone. There were emails that were sent that I never received and she insisted I received them. One example being the date, time and location of where I needed to close. What’s more she forwarded me an email about me needing to get a survey done. The email thread showed that she was told to inform me, the buyer, to get a survey done 3 times before she actually told me about it. Absolutely terrible communication. I understand that as a lawyer she may not feel the need to have good manners, or good customer service skills, but it is sad to see how rude she is. I’ve never had a particularly positive experience dealing with lawyers, but she is definitely the worst one I have ever dealt with. Please steer clear of Diane.

Mr. Egger was hired to settle 2 estates. On one estate, some papers were filed, but nothing was followed up to remedy what was still needed by the court. On the other estate, nothing was ever filed. When I tried to contact Mr. Egger, he did not return my emails or calls. He kept my payment after I asked for a refund.

I hired Mitch as my Attorney and he won my case! I did a lot of research before hiring him and could clearly see that he was the best when it comes to consumer protection litigation. He is very busy and does not have an assistant so I did have to follow up with him a few times but I didn't mind that because although he is my Attorney, it was still my case. I couldn't recommend Mitch more and greatly appreciate his expert council.

Mitchell able to fight off my credit card fraud case with Forster and Garbus, and the court vacate the judgement for a hefty $52K+ of debt accumulated throughout the years.

I hired this attorney to sue a municipality that contributed to my wife's disability from an accident.
Mr. Adragna filed the wrong paperwork, it was late and as a result my case was dismissed.
I tried to reach him afterwards and he never took my calls because he was too busy on big cases and never cared for my wife's case. I highly recommend to avoid his lawyer.

I am going through a divorce. Joe commits to every case he takes on. Long hours and he actually cares. These are some traits you don't normally see in lawyers. My case is very atypical. He listened and explained that the law is what matters and that is what is going to make the difference in my case. He knows what he is doing and I trust him. This case isn't so much about me, as it is really all about my child and the best interest of that child. He understands that my child will grow up without a real parent figure in his life if I don't have custody. That my ex will truthfully not be there for my child as the child grows. Ultimately that will have a lasting effect on the child and will be detrimental to his future. Joe is fighting to have that child with his parent, the parent that is actually there and will be there for the child. The one who knows and consistently works with the child. What the child likes and dislikes, how the child communicates, and when the child is trying to communicate because that parent is actually paying attention. A parent who will also make the decisions that will positively shape the child's life and create a much more stable atmosphere to grow up in.

Talks very loud and is very harsh. If you're even remotely sensitive or going through a bad time, I wouldn't recommend him because you'll end up feeling bad about yourself. He seems inconsistent with thoughts and actions. Divorce is hard enough without this type of treatment.

I would advise that people look elsewhere for legal services. His fees are above average which is unacceptable when combined with the service he provides. In this first and last encounter he most certainly did not put his client's interest first. Not the characteristic you'd expect from a lawyer hired to be on your side.

I was astonished by unprofessionalism, over billing and misrepresentation I’ve received from Ali Law Group.
I’ve retained Ms. Sima Ali from Ali Law Group PC for an overtime lawsuit in March 2018 to defend a corporation in an overtime lawsuit. Over following few months she has filed a notice of appearance, reviewed the files and provided the list of the employees of the corporation to the court (list was provided by my office). The whole case is based on the Plaintiffs demanding around $50,000. Ms. Ali sent me an invoice totaling in over $23,000 for just reviewing the case and submitting the information to the court. I reviewed the billing and it clearly showed over billing. Ms. Ali was charging for reading the same file over and over and even for for preparing to read the file. I sent the billing to a third party for an independent review and my concerns were validated as I was told it was it was certainly a case of over billing.
I relayed my concerns to Ms. Ali via a phone conversation on August 23th. At first, Ms. Ali has threatened me that it would negatively affect the case if I don’t agree to her billing and pay her the amount claimed.
Then she agreed to eliminate several categories and we agreed to set up a meeting to go over the billing and finalize the amount due.
On Sept 4th Ms. Ali texted me, I have replied to the text messages with the dates I’m available for the meeting. I have received no response back from Ms. Ali.
Furthermore, I sent an email on Sept 13th asking Ms. Ali’s availability for the following week so we can schedule the meeting. There was no response from Ms. Ali.
Instead, Ms. Ali has filed a Motion to Withdraw on September 14th, stating the luck of communication and billing as the reasons to withdraw. It seems, she has intentionally ignored my multiple requests for a meeting after I had raised the issues with her billing and has intentionally submitted misleading information to the court to withdraw as an attorney instead of scheduling a meeting with a client to resolve the issues and come to an understanding.
I have to retain another attorney now which will delay the case resolution and cause extra expenses for the new attorney to review the files and catch up. Moreover, such misleading and false information may negatively impact the outcome of the case, it has tarnished my reputation and caused undue stress and expenses.

He has serious issues. My wife hired him to file a simple consolidate and dismissal which had already been prepared. He did not register or file for like 3 months which resulted in going to inquest he then misleads us that it’s not in inquest but still being decided. My wife goes to court he is not there and it was an inquest. Total fraud.
