I had a great experience with this firm. Simone N. Archer, Esq. handled my case efficiently and professionally. Because of the court backlog the process was long and sometimes impatience crept in. However, she was always professional and timely with her support. During the process, I was notified of new court updates/changes and when the matter was adjourned, I was promptly informed. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who requires her service.

I have worked with Efim for 2 real estate transactions and many contract negotiations. He is a true professional. He displays patience, good judgment, and takes his time explaining all aspects of the deal. What I love most about him is the fact that he always replies to any question in a timely manner . Hire him and have a piece of mind that you have an amazing lawyer on your side .

Applied as a Procter to Procter the Law exams. A lady named Jeanette called me at 730 pm on a Friday night. A month went by I heard nothing fom the university. The miscommunication and heartache this caused me is beyond words. No one knew what they are talking about. I spoke to 10 different people. This is so disorganized. All in the end to tell me I never got the position, which I was counting on. I was told I did get it previously and had to go through a background check only. I never recieved any information about anything not even a consent to a background check. When I had called Jeanette to figure this out, she got nasty with me and hung up forcefully on me. Later I found out I had to do a phone interview which was never told to me. I finally got a hold of someone and they told me you were denied and to apply again and embarrassed me in my daughter's dance school crying I was counting on this money. I was told to apply again for Spring. How can I apply for a position again after this experience. Too many people gave me wrong information only to destroy my mental state and made me extremely upset. This is outright wrong. I am sorry is not a good enough excuse for this. This is disheartening especially since the qualifications were 18 and older. My resume has a college degree with HR experience.

Really a BIG FAT ZERO . Someone I trust and know took me to this place on 11/1/2023. Richie as he was called was briefly told what happened to me with a fall . I was told by Richie to contact him by him the next day . Staff must have been told not to take my call as I kept getting disconnected and when I sent a email it went unanswered . My friend who took me I know meant well but had to post how I was treated so when reviews are read by public looking for legal assistance. Please know not to use this person nor his firm as you will not get anywhere with them ‼️

My experience with Adrienne D. Edward Law Office was appalling. I felt always in the dark regarding my situation because of the inadequate communication. The level of service was subpar, and it appeared that they were more concerned with collecting money than assisting me. I wouldn't suggest this business to anyone looking for capable legal representation since the entire process was stressful and disappointing. Considering my experience, all the glowing reviews seem dubious. Look elsewhere and spare yourself the headache.

This man cause me to delayed my visitation process to see my kids , here I was thinking a brother will have the best interests in mind to another brother he collected my money didn't show up to court and blame it on me aging that he showed up to court and because I wasn't present they dismissed my case . Can I point out he told me that my presence wasn't required due to the fact that he'll be there . What he didn't know is that I always always make my own research went back to the court ask to see the records and see why my case got dismissed. Guess what the record show that he never showed up not the petitioner (that will be me ) or his lawyer that will be him . This was March 2023 my case could have been resolved since then . When I confront him he said he showed up not knowing that I already had seek help from LYFT they help me to get my case back in the calendar . I then notify him this he proceeds to ignores my calls and message mind you he took my money already . Due to the fact he was ignoring all my calls I contacted one of my family members in Texas they are part of a law firm but not family services I made them do a 3 way call Guess what the guy answered I spoke my mind he then send me a email that I still have saying he could not represent me no more due to load cases . The court contacted him on my next court date he could never answer why he didn't show up and he never apologies to that day it was 3 years without seeing my children that day if he would have showed up my case could have been resolved I'm talking about an old man that could be my father playing games with my emotions and my life because my kids are my life . Due to covid everything is been a mess they claimed being backed up and have more severe cases but something has to happen with this type of people and to you Mr Austin let's hope God forgives you you could have been a man and tell me sorry I messed up let's keep working instead you choose to ignore me I'm not sure how much this will do but I have to let it be known this old man took my money and didn't do what he was supposed to do he sold me hope . God forgive you hope your kids see this .

I was very pleased with Mr. Idehen's representation and I was very satisfied with the outcome of my custody case. Mr. Idehen promised to deliver in a very honest and fair way and he did. He's fair and he cares about the best interest of his client. I sought the representation of numerous lawyers before Mr. Idehen and their outlook of my case was very negative not to mention their outrageous fees. I thank God for Mr. Idehen's fair yet competitive approach.

My Attorney Sadatu Salami is a leader of distinction. She is a lawyer who interacts with her clients with respect and kindness. She represents her clients in the legal field with accuracy, excellent timing and with the proper sense of urgency and concern your case requires. I never feel I have to remind her of the legal needs I have. She pays attention constantly to what is needed to help me, my family and my business succeed. I would recommend her to anyone at anytime. And I recommend her to whoever is reading this review right now.

This attorney will take your money and never respond to you at all. Then they also refused to return your money when they have done no work. Please run as fast as you can and don’t waste your money. This attorney is also extremely incompetent and laughable. She talks nice to just sign the contract and after they take your money THEY WILL NOT RESPOND period. ONLY ANSWER YOU WILL GET IS “we will get back tomorrow”

Yanina is highly knowledgeable, personable and knows how to save someone from an ugly situation. She gives amazing advice and methodical in her research.

Mr. Augustin Tella is the greatest attorney I have ever known. As a Real Estate Broker for 35 years, I have been working with various attorneys in Pakistan, Dubai, Florida and now in NYC, but found him the best, economical, honest and a man of great integrity and a man of intelligent approach. I have known him for the last 15 years and referred to him many high value clients of mine, and all of them were fully satisfied with him and had great reviews. Sometimes ago, I was a little upset with him and was of the view that he is not doing right, subsequently, consulted three top attorneys in Queens to replace Mr.Tella, It was a pleasant surprise for me that all three were very respectful about Mr.Tella and asked me to continue with him, that authenticated his honesty, popularity and right approach, that really impressed me, hence this review. I have hired him many times for my own Landlord/Tenant cases and he always proved worthy of his selection. I strongly recommend to hire him to get the best results possible.

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.
