“I can’t thank Dan and Michael and team enough for their outstanding support and dedication to my case. From the very beginning, they were professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about workers’ compensation laws. They guided me through every step of the process, ensuring I understood my rights and fighting to get me the compensation I deserved. Their expertise and commitment made all the difference in my case. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and hardworking workers’ compensation lawyer, I highly recommend Wugman & Wugman.

The Hirshfeld and Hirshfeld law office practice was and has been incredible. Timely response, great knowledge of the law, fair and honest communication. Mr. Hirshfeld and his staff always made sure I knew what was happening throughout the entire process. They made great recommendations and always made sure I was protected. This was the first time I've ever had an attorney where I felt like I had someone in MY corner, rather than someone who was just "representing" me. If you need an attorney that really has your best interest in mind and will be guide you in the right direction, look no further than Hirshfeld and Hirshfeld.

I hired William's law office to handle my child support order, paying in full upfront. Despite waiting four weeks, the petition was never prepared, and I received no updates. After two months of unreturned calls and emails, I canceled my case and requested a full refund. Initially, they agreed, but the refund check was never received. Eight months later, I'm still trying to resolve this issue, with no solution or communication from William's office. I strongly advise against using their services.

At first, I couldn’t believe Jonathan Ripps’ words during our initial call because I had spoken to many attorneys, and they all told me it would take 2-3 hearings to dismiss my case. But Jonathan proved them wrong—he got my case dismissed in the first hearing, and it only took 5 minutes! He is incredibly genuine with his charges and went above and beyond to help me, even assisting with the necessary documents for immigration purposes. If you’re considering hiring an attorney, I strongly recommend giving him a call before anyone else. You won’t regret it!"

Having had an injury at work and being told by a judge that I needed a lawyer as the Worker’s Compensation Board doesn’t care about me. I searched for a lawyer. Many lawyers told me they would take my case, when I stopped working. I have a family to support. My life changed that day. On four different occasions maintenance was verbally informed that the floor was not safe. It was corrected approximately 10 minutes after I rolled my ankle herniating a disc in my low back, rolling my knee and ankle laterally. A family member had used Scott Frendel and told me he was great and I should call him. Scott has been working with me since 2014 on this Workman’s Compensation Case. When other lawyers wouldn’t take my case he did, he is that good.
Scott was able to help by giving me great advice and guidance. He and his team Daniella Pascaru, Sara and Wanda where patient and guided me through the process to help me win my case. They answered all my questions. Trusting them and following their directives definitely helped us to win this
case. Thank you all.

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.

I have recommended him to other people and he has resolved their problems as well. I will hire him over and over again. Best attorney in New City, New York.

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.

Mark was a great lawyer for me because he kept me sane through the misery of divorce and parental negotiations. His knowledge and experience was very helpful in having me understand how it works in NY. He was affordable as kept me from getting dragged into nonsense negotiations, and did not let situations get dragged out. Thank you Mark.

Jackie is very professional, and clear from the beginning. She answers all your questions, and replies back very quickly through email or phone. Her prices are very fair and consistant. I've had many family members go to more expensive lawyers in NYC and they have all had lawyers that are impossible to reach or don't seem to be very helpful or seem to care. 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. Jackie is the best not just to me but also to my sister, and friends that have now used her. I will continue to recommend her to others that I know!

It is without hesitation or reservation as a former and long standing client of Ms. Lynne S. Hilowitz that I highly recommend her legal services.

Ms. Hilowitz has the utmost in professional and ethical standards along with the ability to sift through complicated issues. She listens affably to her clients with a keen, considerate ear. Ms. Hilowitz is not only a genial, accomplished attorney but has the ability to interpret and explain complicated legal matters in clear, logical and comprehensible terms giving her clients more than a reasonable down to earth understanding of all aspects associated with their individual issues and needs. Ms. Hilowitz is an attorney I put my faith and trust in during a very difficult time it was a choice I made without regret!

Lynn is an excellent lawyer! I met her after I was divorced. My ex wanted to pay less child support. She got me more than I imagined and even got my portion of my kids college deceased, my ex is paying most of it.
I was terrified going into this, but Lynn and her staff were always available to listen to my fears and calm me down. I am so grateful that I found her. She really cared about me, my children and made sure we got what I needed for them. I highly recommend her!

Alan Rosenblatt, partner at Montalbano, Condon & Frank, P.C. in New City, NY, was highly recommended to me by a fellow lawyer in Rockland County, NY.

I commend Mr. Rosenblatt and Mr. Warren for their dedication and commitment to provide excellent service to their clients as they expertly navigate the field of NYS Family Law.

The best way to characterize the work of Brett Green is to share that he has been my attorney for almost a decade now. He was able to guide me through everything from the start up to successes and everything in between. From drawing up standard contracts for protecting myself or my business, or dealing with delicate and intricate legal situations, he manages to be clear and strong while remaining diplomatic and approachable while negotiating and anyone who works in entertainment can tell you, that's not common, nor easy.
He consistently advises us so that we are protected in advance so that we don't get ourselves into legal issues and on the occasion where it's unavoidable he creates a clear path and navigates us through the chaos to where we can understand all of our options. He never encourages us to get into battles we can't win and often times finds a way to mediate and get everyone to the table to agree on terms that they can feel good about.
He's a fantastic lawyer and while he didn't sign up for it, a fantastic personal and business advisor. If you're looking for someone who can really be on your "team" Brett is the guy.

I can’t thank Michael Ellman enough for his tireless work and dedication to my case. From our first meeting, I felt as if we were truly a team. He listened to my story, explained the often complicated legal process, asked for my input, answered my endless questions, and was a constant source of encouragement and support. It is rare to find a lawyer who is so genuinely caring, and I am so lucky to have found one who treated me as a friend, not just another case. I am eternally grateful to have had the best representation possible during one of the most difficult times in my life. You won’t find a better lawyer than Mike Ellman!

David Warren, partner at Montalbano, Condon & Frank, PC, in New City, NY, is an excellent litigator who successfully defended me when my ex-husband sought to have my child support obligation to him re-calculated based on his request that my imputed income be increased 250% to nearly $100,000.00. A former stay-at-home mom for over 14 years, I received excellent representation from Mr. Warren who thoroughly prepared me for cross-examination in Court and deftly handled my case with up-to-the-minute knowledge of relevant case law. David Warren knew specifically what information to look for and knew exactly what questions to ask my ex-husband during cross-examination. Mr. Warren was eloquent, efficient, and comprehensive, with complete command of the facts. An excellent communicator, he succinctly and effectively laid out the facts of the case to the judge. Through David's efforts, the case was wrapped up in an extremely timely manner, with an excellent outcome. Should new post-judgment matters arise in the future, I will definitely retain David Warren again.

Paul Kahn did a professional job guiding us through the process of buying a short sale. It was a long and arduous process, but Paul knew what to do every step of the way. A well-experienced lawyer, his knowledge is testament to the mastery of his craft.

She will then say she advised you of the immigration repercussions when that would not have been the case!! You lady are a part of the system of deportation and imprisonment.

I am at the beginning stages of working with Yvonne Garbett, and I am so incredibly thankful I found her. My custody case is very complex with a lot of variables, and is definitely not a “run of the mill” scenario. Due to the situation, I specifically sought out someone with criminal and family law experience. I’ve spoken to several lawyers over the last few years, and not a single one of them seemed to grasp the gravity of my case the way Yvonne did. She told me all the things I wanted to hear, and all of the things I didn’t want to hear about the possible outcomes of my case and the direction it could go. I will update this review when I am at the “end” of my case, but if you are looking for a lawyer with expertise, compassion, and an understanding of personality types and behavioral patterns - do not look any further. I am so thankful I found someone I can trust. Highly recommend.

Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for Mr. Brian Berkowitz. When I needed professional legal assistance for a matter in Westchester County, I initially considered reaching out to a local attorney, thinking they would handle it better. However, upon my coworker's strong recommendation—based on his own highly positive experience—I decided to contact Mr. Brian, and I am so glad I did.
His expertise extends far beyond county borders. Among all the offices I contacted, his was the only one where the attorney himself took the time to thoroughly explain the entire legal process and personally guided me every step of the way. Beyond his exceptional professionalism, Mr. Brian is incredibly kind, personable, and truly puts his clients' best interests first. He kept me updated with frequent and prompt phone calls, ensuring I was never left in the dark about my case.
Mr. Brian is, without a doubt, one of the best professionals I have ever interacted with—not just in law, but in any field, including health care.
Thank you again for your invaluable help, and I wish you all the best!!

However, upon my coworker's strong recommendation—based on his own highly positive experience—I decided to contact Mr. Brian, and I am so glad I did.
His expertise extends far beyond county borders. Among all the offices I contacted, his was the only one where the attorney himself took the time to thoroughly explain the entire legal process and personally guided me every step of the way. Beyond his exceptional professionalism, Mr. Brian is incredibly kind, personable, and truly puts his clients' best interests first. He kept me updated with frequent and prompt phone calls, ensuring I was never left in the dark about my case.
Mr. Brian is, without a doubt, one of the best professionals I have ever interacted with—not just in law, but in any field, including health care.
Thank you again for your invaluable help, and I wish you all the best!!
