I had the pleasure of having Dan Smyth work on my personal injury case. His intensive knowledge on the laws as well as the ins and outs of insurance was insightful. He was very compassionate and responded to every single question with perfect clarity. He stays in communication so that you know what is going on and will fight for you. You’re not just a case here. You’re a person and they treat you like it.

These guys are real winners. They market for medical malpractice but it’s unlikely that you’ll actually be able to speak to anyone or that they’ll take your case because they are “too small” according to what I was told in a text message. They also don’t provide any type of referrals or references.

Without sharing specifics of our wrongful death case, I will say that the team at Morelli took on our family's case when other firms declined. They believed us and persevered (including through the pandemic) with the case. While it took a few years, the Morelli team was able to reach a settlement for our family to be compensated for our loss. The Morelli team was empathetic and responsive to our questions and needs. While I fervently hope that such a thing never happens to our family again, I would not hesitate to re-engage Morelli for future legal needs.

It is hard to realize the amount of years that my family has dealing with Emil Lax. There are no words no describe the commitment, energy, wealth of knowledge, and even the sense of humor that he brings to his dealings with the clients. His calm, effective and stable presence in a very busy and constant evolving legal arena gives us (the clients he serves) the trust and confidence we need to go through any legal process with assurance that the outcomes will be just. I am personally and professionally delighted to be able to write this review.

Jordan helped me with my employment agreement and I was very happy. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything to me in a way that made me understand what I was signing. He was able to get my employer to cover the costs of my CME classes which was not included in the contract originally. I highly recommend Jordan Fensterman.

Jordan Fensterman, of Abrams Fensterman, recently wrote my lease agreement for a rental property I acquired. Overall, I was very satisfied with the job performed by Jordan and his firm. I did not realize how good and thorough a job had been done with the lease agreement until I had our problem with one of my tenants. The lease agreement enabled me to recoup damages that the former tenant had done to the apartment and enabled me to continue to collect rent from said tenant after the tenant had vacated the apartment and broken the lease agreement early. I would highly recommend you consult with Abrams Fensterman for your small and large business needs as you do not know what problems are going to arise in a business transaction whereas Abrams Fensterman with their decades of experience has already seen most of the problems you are likely to face with their other clients and they can help protect your interest from various issues as well as hopefully preventing them from occurring by making you aware of the same.

Michael is an incredible attorney and a wonderful person. He was extremely professional, friendly, honest, and diligent. Thanks to Michael's hard work, we obtained a result much greater than what I could have hoped for and I could not possibly be happier. He was always easy to reach and would gladly answer any questions or concerns I had. There is no doubt that I would recommend him to any family or friends who are in a similar situation as I was in. With Michael, you not only get an extremely talented and hard working attorney but also a kind, caring friend.

When my wife got crushed by an out of control 18 wheeler in Orange County NY a friend recommended I call Mr. Feldman. It turned out to be the best decision for my family. Not only did he represent us fairly and honestly, he listened to our needs and saw when we needed to be calmed through the process. He was kind to my wife and I, and a bulldog in court. Very professional, and secured us a jury verdict we could've never imagined.

For Tomek it all comes naturally, as if he was born to be a Lawyer. Thankfully the destiny has brought such a great professional for NY clients. Tomek has an outstanding sense of responsibility to deal with a case and manage it until the end with every effort. He is very empathetic and tireless and builds up very detailed analysis with his clients. I think the most important part is that he does this job from his heart and helps people who would otherwise lack such a great representation.

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.
