I'm a colleague and friend of Mr. Murphy, and I can attest that he is an organized and competent attorney. He actually helped me pass the bar exam by suggesting a unique approach for studying for it. I've also had an opportunity to work with him over the last several years, and he is unfailingly helpful - readily available by phone, and diligent and reliable in going to court and making a good presentation. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney in Rockland County, I can't think of a better person for the job.

I suffered domestic violence, I had to leave the house with my son with only the clothes on my back and our lives saved and go to a Safety & Change shelter, I have documented and video evidence of all the violence suffered by me and my son, I have video of my husband's betrayal with another woman. I sought help from the Legal Aid Society because I am undergoing pre-cancer treatment. The Legal Aid Society said they could help me and they did. I was referred to the law firm de Moya & Assoc PC I arrived at the office scared of everything because domestic violence is very difficult, we suffer a lot, we lose our dignity, faith and many other things and we also run out of money. What I heard from de Moya & Assoc PC was; I have to accept my husband's lawyer's conditions because the duration of the marriage was short, 2 years in January 2024. How many years would I have to suffer this violence to be entitled to my personal belongings under US law? I am writing this rant to share with others who experience domestic violence in my case at de Moya & Assoc PC it made it clear that I am not entitled to anything because the domestic violence I suffered was for a short period, HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO HAVE ANY RIGHTS? so I don't even have the right to my personal goals, I took what was placed outside the house, just a few things, de Moya & Assoc PC said that I have to accept the lawyer's conditions My husband, if I don't do everything, I will have a big problem with the Judge and I will have to pay my husband's lawyer a small fortune.

We had amazing representation from Robert Fellows. After an unfortunate cycling accident, my wife spent three days in the ICU and suffered significant pain as the result of a driver who made an incredibly irresponsible decision. Robert Fellows, who we've known for years, came to our aid. He helped to not only get us a fair settlement, but he made sure that the auto insurance company lived up to their obligations. More importantly, Robert treated us like a friend. He checked on us regularly and his concern for our well being as well as his genuine compassion is what make him incredibly special.

I am extremely grateful for the outstanding legal representation provided by Attorney Scott D. Frendel in navigating both my workers' compensation and Social Security Disability cases. He worked tirelessly to ensure I received the benefits I rightfully deserved. I've been dealing with NY workers compensation for over 20 years. I had previous lawyers represent me, but they never seemed to interested in what I needed. What sets Scott apart is his commitment to keeping me informed every step of the way. Scott is not only highly proficient in the legal intricacies of disability and comp cases, but they also maintained open communication, keeping me updated on the progress and answering every question I had. He was always in my corner which provided me immense comfort during one of the most challenging times of my life. Securing Social Security Disability benefits was not as easy a process as I thought it would be, especially during covid times, but his persistence and thorough approach ultimately led to success. I am constantly amazed that when he tells me a timeframe for what ever step we are at, whether it be 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year, I can count on it being accurate. Additionally, as my workers' compensation case nears its conclusion, I am confident in their ability to secure a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Scott D. Frendel and Braunfotel & Frendel LLC to everyone in need for their exceptional legal services. His unwavering advocacy and genuine concern for my wellbeing has made him someone I trust to navigate the complexities of workers' compensation and Social Security Disability law.

Scott has been working on my case since 2013 after I sustained a serious workplace injury. From the moment he started working with me I knew he was an excellent attorney. He was very knowledgeable and fought for me through the entire court process, and has won on every level. I was very impressed with his style and intelligence. Because of the seriousness of my injury, Scott was able to win me a settlement granting me workers compensation payments for the rest of my life. I highly recommend Scott to anybody that needs a great attorney. He is the best that I know of.

Mark Paige brought me back from ruin. I was in a serious situation with a divorce stipulation that was violated and I needed serious legal counseling. I tried numerous other legal options but none were developing a plan of action due to the complexity of my situation. I had a marital residency that was in severe financial distress (foreclosure). I had a deep financial crisis with child support that was in arrears over due to a miscalculation from over 8 years ago. Mr Paige set forth a roadmap that started with dealing with one issue at a time. From 2016 till 2023 he along with his team of legal professionals was able to fight the violation of the divorce stipulation. He then was able to challenge the Foreclosure of the marital residence. Have my Arrears recalculated finding an overpayment. Furthermore with the overpayment had my child support terminated due to the alienation that took place. Since I was left to deal with a foreclosure property that was abandoned by the other party Mr Paige was able to facilitate a short sale with a third party. This was the completion of the roadmap that he laid out from day one. To add to the success he was able to have my passport awarded to me which was an issue due to the arrearages that were shown prior to the recalculation. Mr. Paige Commanded a presence that was of the highest regard due to him always showing the Judge as well as the other parties the utmost respect. He worked hard to make sure he left no stone unturned while preparing for court proceedings. I will always thank him for not turning me away and always giving 110% to me when others would not take my case again due to its complexity. Not only do I recommend him as a great hire but also a great source of knowledge to other lawyers who have clients who may be dealing with similar issues. Mine was super complex but a lawyer like Mark Paige is best suited to succeed in this undertaking. Prior to me finding the service of Mark S Paige I was stonewalled in many proceedings that I thought I could handle pro-se. It was very frustrating and demoralizing. The day I saw I was moving in the right direction was when I was able to tell a support magistrate that I would like to refrain from any further comments due to me retaining the services of Mark S Paige. At this time the Magistrate said you have made a great decision regarding your retaining of Mr Paige … He is a very good lawyer. Fast forward to today I know this was the best decision I could have made for my life which Mark Paige gave me back. Look no further you have found a Great Lawyer right here.

Mark Paige is not only an outstanding lawyer, but a person that I would highly recommend to everyone. I have been dealing with the same legal matters for years prior to meeting Mark. Other lawyers complicated issues instead of resolving them and I was stuck in the middle of a dog and pony show. However, from the first day I hired Mark Paige, I was able to breathe due to his professional demeanor. Within just a few months, everything was resolved. Mark got the job done and it was done right. No more wasting money and running around in circles. Words can never express my gratitude for his patience, knowledge, guidance, honesty and professionalism.

That includes my parents and siblings. I hired Jackie in order to apply for a green card, and she has answered my questions/concerns even after she completed her services. I always recommend Jackie to everyone that needs an immigration lawyer. If you are in Rockland, I suggest you use her as your attorney.

Mrs. Rouzard is assertive without being overly aggressive. She handles challenging situations with confidence. While watching her interact with people in Court she seems to be a respected in her field. She excels at formulating and executing strategies. She displayed an unwavering commitment to (me) her client.
