I've contracted with Mr. Forest on three separate occasions: once to probate a will and twice to prepare a will, a power of attorney and a health proxy. He is knowledgeable, kind, easy to work with and trustworthy, and I would not hesitate to refer him. The work was done quickly whenever possible, and his help and advice was invaluable in this somewhat difficult process.

Maura assisted me six years ago with my divorce and custody agreement. She systematically addressed every possible issue, and this agreement has stood the test of time like none I have heard of. She advised me of my rights, thought about my son's physical and emotional well-being, and advocated for me and my son. I could not recommend a professional more highly, and I have recommended her to several friends in the intervening years. Thank you, Maura. S, Croton-on-Hudson

I found Maura to be very honast and professional and for me to say that about any lawyer is a lot. I only wish that I would have found her six years and three lawyers earlier. Many of my headaches with my long and drawn out divorce would have been taken care of the right way the first time and with out a lot of pain. Both mental and financial. She went out of her way to help fix things other lawyers screwed up.

Pete is a tenacious lawyer whose background was perfectly suited to stand up to the malicious bureaucracy that had falsely maligned me. When the dust was settled I was justly compensated and my dignity was restored.

Attorney Miller was recommended very highly to me. He spent around a half hour reviewing my pro se responses to a motion and providing me relevant case law, and coaching me through the process... All for NO Charge! He advised me very well and my pro se responses had the case dismissed. I would definitely retain him going forward!
