I can't say enough about Steven and his team. After weeks of searching for someone to represent us with a residential property issue I came across him and his firm. I immediately received a response to my email and a consultation was set up. What a relief to me and my family. That was just the beginning. From the moment my siblings and I walked into the office for our consultation we felt welcomed and put at ease. Steven gave us his honest opinion and advice on how we should proceed. We immediately trusted him as he is the expert. He took control along with his colleague Christopher Rienzi and things started to move very quickly. We were kept informed and received expert guidance/advice every step of the way until a positive outcome was reached. A+ to Steven and his team. I highly recommend.

Rex is not only a great Attorney, he is the right Attorney. Early on when I enlisted his services, I was nearly in panic mode. I explained the situation to him, honestly and the words he said to me calmed me right down. I knew right there I made a good decision in hiring Rex. Furthermore, as things were not progressing as fast as I hoped, he told me the progression what how things would work.
After that I let him do his thing and now I am good. I would definitely, hire him again.

Rex got my speeding ticket in NY State reduced to a parking violation with 0 points towards my license! The consultation was impressively efficient, he quickly collected the most essential details about my case based on his experience, told me what I can expect and then went to work. He achieved the result I was hoping for - I definitely recommend.

Our son got a speeding ticket at a very high rate of speed. He faced the loss of his license and significant points. Rex helped us come up with a strategy that fit our needs and executed the strategy perfectly. Rex was forthright, honest and professional throughout. Ultimately we were fortunate to resolve the ticket with a fine and NO points. A fabulous result. Thank you so much for your guidance and help Rex.

I met Mr. Conte at a fundraiser years ago not knowing that I would be in need of his services. There were changes in my circumstances and I needed to update my will and prepare a trust. I remembered Mr. Conte who made everything easy for me to understand and cover my needs in the present and the future. He treated me like family and was attentive to my needs. Best of all he 'knows his stuff". I highly recommend him.

Harold Dee represented me on a speeding ticket. He listened carefully and explained things clearly to me beforehand. Then, he was able to achieve a fair judgment that included no points.

Harold was fantastic. He promptly returned my phone call, walked me through the whole process. He was efficient and professional and most importantly he was able to plea down a ticket with 6 points to a parking violation and I did not have to go to court. Highly recommend.

Found myself in a tricky situation with Larchmont court (a court with a rep for being "difficult") that I unfortunately had to handle while out of state.
Harold was efficient and simple to get a hold off and get started with. He picked up where I left off, had great communication, and ended up getting me even better results than we discussed in our consultation - from 5 pts to a complete dismissal. Very fair pricing and honest business. I interviewed a handful of lawyers, and I am elated I chose him to handle my affairs.

I am extremely happy with the services rendered from Harold. He helped me handle a speeding ticket and get a more than reasonable outcome. He was very responsive when I first reached out to him. He gave me advice once I explained the situation. The process was easy, I just had to sign a few documents. He periodically gave me update (my court date was schedule almost a year later). I did not have to appear in court. He handled everything. Afterward he sent me the judgement right away. I am very thankful for him and would highly recommend his firm. Oh and his rates are reasonable as well.

I recently had the pleasure of working with a remarkable workers' compensation lawyer, David Tomack, and I can't recommend their services highly enough. From our first consultation, it was clear that he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my case. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained the entire process in a way that was easy to understand.
What stood out the most was their commitment to fighting for my rights. He was incredibly proactive, gathering all necessary documentation and building a strong case on my behalf. Their attention to detail and thoroughness gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
Communication was another strong point; he kept me updated every step of the way and were always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. This level of support made a stressful situation much more manageable.
Ultimately, the hard work paid off, and I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations. If you find yourself in need of a workers' compensation lawyer, I highly recommend reaching out to him. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly make a difference!

I’ve worked with Jessica on two real estate transactions now, both as buyer and as seller. Jessica is smart and tough. She will not take BS from anyone, including her own clients. Rather than sell you an opinion, Jessica will question you in a way that forces you to articulate your opinions, which is the best preparation for making sound decisions, I think. Don’t work with Jessica if you want a yes-man. But work with her if you want a conscientious, experienced and formidable attorney!
