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. Mr. Rosenblatt was involved from the beginning as my case was set up. David Warren, fellow partner at the firm, expertly litigated the case and achieved a highly favorable outcome. 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.

With all the negative rumors and reports about attorneys, I feel compiled to give a positive review on an attorney who is deserving of such. About three weeks ago, I called a friend of mine, who is an attorney, to handle a commercial real estate closing for me. He told me he did not practice this type of law and suggested that I speak to Antonio Reda. I called Antonio and decided to retain him. I cannot emphasize how impressed I was with him!!! He handled everything so professionally, and, so fast, I could not believe it. There were some complications, and, he took charge and remedied them in no time. From the time I first called him, to the actual closing of the property was less than two weeks! His charges were extremely fair and reasonable, especially when you consider how fast he handled everything, and, some extra work that was done. I received my copies of the documents and checks by overnight mail. As a businessman for nearly 50 years, I cannot recommend Antonio highly enough. If you are looked for a consummate professional, who will not give you a run-a-round, Antonio is the attorney to call.

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.

I couldn't be happier having Daniella V. Pascaru representing me in my workers' compensation and Social Security Disability cases. She worked so hard making sure I received the all of the benefits I deserve. 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 long-term. What sets Daniella apart is her ability to stay focused and see the big picture, and maintained open communication, keeping me updated on the progress and answering every question I had. She was there for me, every step of the way, through 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 her persistence and thorough approach ultimately led to success. Additionally, as my workers' compensation case nears its conclusion, I am confident in her ability and know there will be a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Daniella V. Pascaru to everyone in need of exceptional legal service. Her unwavering advocacy and genuine concern for my wellbeing has made her someone I trust to navigate the complexities of workers' compensation and Social Security Disability law.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Margo Bohlin, Howard Hanna Rand Realty, for the sale of my parent’s townhouse, and once again, I was impressed by her professionalism and expertise. As a repeat client, I can confidently say that Margo goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth process. She provided invaluable market insights and tailored marketing strategies that helped my parent’s property sell quickly and at a great price. Communication was seamless, and I always felt supported throughout the transaction. I highly recommend Margo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Margo did not disappoint! We initially priced the house and as we did improvements and the market was really heating up Margo suggested we raise the price significantly. We really worked as a team she was relentless and always available, we would recommend Margo Bohlin to anyone who needs to buyer or sell Real Estate in Rockland County>

Mrs.Gionta is nothing short than an excellent lawyer. She walks by your side the whole process while maintaining professionalism and guiding you to excellence. She will answer any questions you have and doesn’t treat you like just another job. She was with me during the worst time of my life that I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get through. She pushed me through to win and on pure honesty. She is never short on details when other lawyers did not want to take the time to even listen. She gave her heart to my case and made me feel seen. I can’t say that other lawyers have passion like she does. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is in legal need. Mrs.Gionta will always hold high respect to me due to everything she did to help me during the hard time. THANK YOU MRS.GIONTA!!!!!

Zev Goldstein is the firm to use if you have any moving violations. I had a moving violation after driving for 38 years with clean record. I hired Zev Goldstein and sent a letter stating my case and that is all I had to do. They took over the rest of process and I was told I will be notified of results. I did not have to be present on my hearing date as they will be representing me. In addition, they are very responsive and punctual to reply to my emails and any inquires I had. They are true professionals and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for help and need to hire a prudent smart attorneys to fight for them.

This was my first time being involved in a lawsuit so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was definitely nervous but from the beginning Matt Rice and paralegal Cindy Rivera put me at ease. They made me feel comfortable, heard and like they really understood me. Throughout the entire process they kept me informed and were always available for any questions I had which was very important to me since I was not familiar with this process. I absolutely felt like I was important and my case really mattered to them. I am beyond pleased with the results, and while I hope to not need legal services again, if I do, Fellows, Hymowitz and Rice will definitely be my first call.

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.
