Not only was Mr. Morgan a kind and considerate individual toward me, but he was also a genuine advocate for the persons he was tasked with representing. I could not have wished for a more perfect individual there. All the way through the entirety of my case, he went above and beyond to not only offer me answers to all of my questions concerning trust litigation, but also to reassure me and put my mind at ease. As an amazing attorney, he is able to handle any and all legal problems that you might find yourself in.

Robert Kurre represented me in my capacity as a trustee of two trusts. He is quite knowledgeable in elder law and saw to it that the trusts were properly administered and settled. He was a great help in seeing to it that assets were preserved for the beneficiaries. My sister and I and our spouses are also presently using Mr. Kurre for our own estate planning. We know we are in good hands with him.

Robert Kurre handled the Trust of my deceased mother. I was totally ignorant of what this process entailed and, as I live out-of-state, this complicated the process. He guided me every step of the way and infinitely patient with me. There was no question he would not answer. Aside from his responsibilities, he referred me to other professionals in New York state who could assist in other facets of my mother's affairs.
This was a daunting situation made so much easier by Mr. Kurre and his staff.
Should you consult Mr. Kurre, you will be the recipient of the level of expertise only years of practicing law can provide. On every level, I have enjoyed the better part of this relationship. I highly recommend attorney Robert Kurre and his associates.

Mr. Kurre and his staff fully explained the entire probate process to me, from beginning to end. In addition, he was kind and compassionate at a difficult time. I have worked with several members of the staff at Kurre Schneps. Each person has been knowledgeable and professional. The firm is facilitating the transfer of a home to a beneficiary and assisting in preparing a second property for sale. I highly recommend their services for any probate and estate matters.

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Eran Regev and his paralegal team on the green card application for my parents. If you are looking for a peace of mind and worry free process you should look no further. Our paralegal, Nadia Zhulinska, was very responsive and helpful, making sure the process goes smoothly and without unnecessary delays. The paperwork, which often can be quite cumbersome was all handled by Nadia with competence. Overall it was great experience and certainly worth it for us.

Shahriar Kashanian was a great attorney and I am so happy to have hired him for my accident case. He never stopped fighting for me. He stands by his clients and fights to do the very best for them. I would recommend him to anyone who was injured in an accident.

Mr. Shahriar, fought for me above and beyond call of duty.
In May 2020 amid the stress of the coronavirus shut down, I went for a Saturday morning motorcycle ride and a breath of fresh air.
After an oncoming car crossed double yellow lines and nearly amputated my leg, we learned that insurance companies tend to believe car drivers over Motorcyclists.
14 months and 12 surgeries later I will eventually walk again. However, it looked like that was going to cost my family everything.
Both insurance companies were claiming it was my fault in spite of evidence to the contrary. Even the famous "motorcycle lawyers" wouldn't take the case since it was just my word against theirs.
Both companies ended up paying out the maximum.
But that's not the end of the of the story. At this point most lawyers would've taken their cut and gone home.
But that's not what happened.
It turns out Medicare doesn't pay for motorcycle accidents and were coming after me for every bit of it. This last bit was not even in his purview.
Nonetheless, Shahriar went to work on them for months even though that was not part of our contract but just because in his own words "it's just the right thing to do".
I don't know if he eventually convinced them of that or if they gave in so he would stop following up with them every day. Either way, they accepted a greatly reduced payment.
I hope you never need to, but if you ever get in a situation where you need someone to fight for you like "a bulldog on a pant leg" and never give up because that's the right thing to do, I highly recommend Mr. Shahriar Kashanian. He won't let you down.

I have had the pleasure to work with Barry Carus for over a decade. He has handled all kinds of matters for me - from complex corporate contracts, commercial and residential real estate sales, resolution on an executive employment contract when the employer filed for bankruptcy protection, wills, and trusts. Barry always has a positive outlook, excellent judgment, a terrific way with people, and a collaborative style. He cuts through to key points and builds consensus, while being a strong advocate for his client. He is always responsive and an outstanding legal draftsman. Barry is supported by an extremely able and collaborative legal team, who provide personalized attention. He is always fair about costs. I do not hesitate to give Barry the highest possible rating and strongest possible recommendation.

I felt instantly part of a family of experts that was willing to offer support, advice, and action and empowered me when I was at my weakest. The team energized me with their positive outlook and shear strength. They gave me a voice when I didn’t have one, they gave me multiple angles to think about, they made things easy for me to understand. I was aware of all plans before they happened. My case had so many twists and turns. Ariana called me with updates, shared the strategy ahead of time, and when she thought of something or an angle, she called me to ask.
I just felt protected, but it made me feel like no one could mess with me with Ariana on my side. I feel very lucky.

He asked intelligent questions and translated all the "real estate" jargon that gets throw around during a closing. He was patient and a pleasure to work with. Someone you want to add to your "good people" list.

I have worked for and with many lawyers. Irwin Fingerit is the most effective attorney I have ever met. He separates the emotional information from the facts. He is able to discuss the fine points of a case in a straight forward way. I was able to realize my feelings had no relevance in a court of law. I needed to present the facts for assessment.
In addition to his immense knowledge of the legal system he is truly kind. He answered every call and question. Most importantly, he solved my problem out of court.
