Simone was thorough, caring and efficient in handling my legal matter. Not only is she clearly knowledgeable of the law, but she actually cares about her clients. After seeking out multiple attorneys, she was the one I retained because not only was she brilliant, but she also cared about me and wanted to help.

I made contact with Ms. Stephenson’s office after my paperwork got a bit messed up. Ms. Stephenson submitted my documents and literally within 3 days I received my approval notice. I also received my GC in the mail today. I am truly thankful and would, without any hesitation recommend her office for any immigration issue. Thanks a million, I really do appreciate you.

I said on this very sight months ago that I would follow up on what happened in my lawsuit . I can not go into detail for obvious reasons but I can't sing Mrs. Kashickey's praises enough !!! I am not proud to admit how long I have been in " the system " but let's say I have been " around the block ". Gerald L. Shargel is the best of the best and even he started somewhere. If you only knew what " mountain " Mrs. Kashickey had to surmount to get the results she did..... I don't think you would believe me !! I just can't say enough !!!

In the beginning of the year I was working for X restaurant, where i was accused of stealing a large amount of money, "grand theft on the 3rd degree", a Felony. My immigration status is not "legal" so, I hired Martha, BEST thing I've done for me. She managed for the felony charges to go away, kept it away from trials, which could've resulted in my deportation. Also, she worked with prosecutors to make my restitutions as low as possible and it all worked. I've now payed my restitutions and finished some community service days(5) and I do not have to worry about my immigration status being affected or in having a felony in my permanent records! Very Happy with Her the job done!

You can talk to ms. Kashickey for about two seconds and know that she is gifted. Certain people are taylormade for certain professions. If she is your lawyer, you are in the best of hands. You don't have to take my word for it, Google her. Ask yourself, " How much more could this person have done, to excel at her craft "? I am at the start of a civil rights case that Ms. Kasickey is counsel for. I could not ask for a better, more competent litigator... You should only be so lucky..

I have known Attorney Ogar for over 10 years. She helped me and my husband purchase our first home. Since that time I have consulted her on various matters. She has always took time to explain legal language, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I am purchasing a second home this year and have retained her for that transaction. Awesome lawyer!

Got referred to Mr. O’ Sullivan by another great lawyer , once I reached out to him he told me that he would happily take care of my traffic infractions. When our court date was approaching he didn’t guarantee me anything but he was confident that we would come out of court with an awesome deal and on the day of court did. He got an unlicensed operator ticket and another ticket I had that was worth 4 points on my licensed both dropped down to 3 J walking tickets with low fines and no points so I was beyond happy and he is highly recommended for his professionalism all across the board

This is a law office, not a lawn service. Lawyer Agunwa is a very professional attorney. He is very knowledgeable about renter/tenant/landlord issues and was extremely helpful with my situation with my landlord. He even called me back after the initial consultation to further clarify and provide more information regarding my issue. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Forbes is an awesome attorney who actually listens to his clients and their families. He is professional in court and is familiar with the current presiding judges and referees within the Queens Family Court located in Jamaica. My case is child custody. With Mr. Forbes' help, I have been able to keep full custody for the past 5 years even with the other side fighting constantly.

I was being sued for fraud and I was dead to right. Marni Weiss took the case and negotiated a settlement that cost me less than 10 cents on the dollar. I had four other attorneys before her and they could not get it done. She persisted in settlement conferences and played the other side with great skill and precision.

had a complicated contested divorce, she fought vigorously for me and really worked at giving me a break on legal fees with a payment plan she was unlike most of the attorneys who all wanted huge retainer fees and only billed without doing the work. She spent lots of time on my case and i got a very good settlement at the end of the matter.

Attorney Bolaji was recommended to me by a business associate. From our initial telephonic contact he proved to be experienced, knowledgeable, patient, kind and a good communicator. Attorney Bolaji ensured that I understood every aspect of the legal process and explained all document requirements as needed. Our lawyer-client relationship was maintained though I was out of State and Attorney Bolaji was always prompt and accessible via phone, email and text. My inability to have regular face-to-face encounters was a source of anxiety for me. However, Mr. Bolaji's kindness and availability lessened those feelings and made my house selling experience a smooth and pleasant one. His fees were also very reasonable to boot. I highly recommend Attorney Bolaji and would use him again in a heartbeat.

I won in court with Ray. Ray is an amazing attorney. On the first communication he spent about 25 minutes with me on,the phone, giving me enough time to express the matter and the concerns. I was perfectly satisfied with his answers and the willingness to provide care for my issue. I immediately felt a great sense of relief, and was able to relax that night, as it felt that I found someone who will guide and be by my side me through the upcoming court battle. In the following weeks Ray, again gave me an additional hour and a half of free consultation, wherein I was perfectly settled in my quest as soneone who found a knowledgeable and caring attorney. Ray forgave me some payments, my final expenses were actually lower than initially we agreed. It was clear he was not a greedy person, as unfortunately is oftentimes the care with other attorneys. I went through a few attourneys before finding Ray. As we worked on the hearings preparations , Ray welcomed my information and various arguments that I desired be expressed and addressed in the courtroom. I was able to submit a packet of various notes to Ray, which he clearly read and took into account, provided feedback on, discussed and modified for the best of advantages in the courtroom. Ray trully worked with me, and the result was amazing we won in court! I recommend Ray, he is a good person, a great attorney, and he got me through tough times with the ultimate outcome - a victory in court. Thank you, dear Ray, for being there for me!

I'm a small business owner and after doing a ton of due diligence trying to find the right lawyer for my case, I had the opportunity to meet and work with Eli Babaev ESQ. Before making my decision, I met with other lawyers in law firms just to get a feel of what was out there. I am very happy and grateful that I made the decision to work with Eli Babaev. He has an amazing ability to communicate effectively and his attentiveness towards my case was something that won't be forgotten. Responded to my calls and emails right away and was very knowledgable. He handled everything strategically, achieving a successful outcome that we both wanted and hoped for. Eli was a real pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great personal injury lawyer.

Kareem was my mock trial coach years ago at St. John’s. His reputation preceded him because he was the best advocate in the country. Literally. We all looked up to Kareem. Since law school, Kareem went on to achieve tremendous success as a trial attorney in NYC. But what is most impressive about Kareem is his unwavering commitment to social justice, civil rights, and serving as a voice to his community right in the heart of Queens. His integrity is beyond reproach. I consider him an inspiration to this day.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. 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:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. 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.
