I probably can't stress enough about how my interactions with Michael were beyond exceptional! I reached via phone and he was in court, but as soon as he had a moment, he called me immediately. I was able to give him a quick synopsis of my situation and he gave me advice for the immediate and then we spoke when he had more time. He even went as far as to follow up with me a few days after I had called to check in on me.

Moreover, he is not only professionals but honest and very friendly as well! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for incredible client care and great legal results.

I was arrested on two separate occasions, one for assault and the second was obstructing governmental administration along with resisting arrest. He immediately had a plan. He was there for me every step of the way. He was extremely intelligent and able to put it to use. He got both cases combined and was able to apply the youthful offender charge, so after completing my sentence my file was sealed. I was 19 at the time and my sentence consisted of 150 hours of community service and taking an anger management course. I owe my life to him, without his help getting a degree and a career would have been impossible. I recommend him to anyone who asks.

Kevin Bowman really helped me with a slightly complicated case and he was terrific. I needed someone to actually listen to my problem and Kevin too the time to listen to me and he totally understood the law and how he could help me. He was very attentive to my case and always took my calls. We were all set to go to court and he managed to get the other side to settle and I really was impressed since they were so unreasonable that I didn't think they would ever settle. I highly recommend Kevin. He knows his stuff.

I was referred to Concetta Spirio by another attorney as I needed someone who handled house closings. Concetta is extremely knowledgeable, very efficient and makes sure all her ducks are in a row! She knows exactly what needs to be done to get to the finish line. Her understanding and compassionate demeanor made my situation a lot less stressful. She returns phone calls quickly and answers all your questions without making you feel rushed! She is now on my permanent contact list!

I hired Julianne 6 years ago for my divorce case and the outcome is I am still not divorced. She failed to put the final paperwork through to complete divorce and failed to reach out to let me know what was needed. Communication and follow through is very slow.

Julianne is an amazing attorney! I am using her for my divorce. She has been representing me for the past 3 years and I could not ask for a better attorney. She is an attorney who cares. She is ethical and wants the best for her clients. She answers her phone whenever you need her after hours and on weekends it does not matter . My husband has money and hired what he was told was the best Suffolk County attorney and Julianne has won almost every court battle causing his high priced attorney to quit. She has a strong knowledge of the law and the courts. If you want the best call her.

I only spoke to Mr. Tierney once on the telephone. He was rude, condescending and mean. This awful man brought me to tears and then laughed about it. Absolutely no compassion.
