Demetri recently represented me in a wrongful termination dispute with a former employer, a global bank with over 200,000 employees and a Human Resources Department with a large legal team. It was a complex matter involving standards of conduct, false allegations and ongoing slander, flawed advice from an internal HR Help Line, a gender-biased and superficial investigation by the employer, and an unusual fact pattern.
I had briefly retained one of the most highly-acclaimed employment attorneys in NYC, and had had an appalling experience. Then I engaged Demetri.
That Demetri listened carefully and sympathetically from the outset provided my first glimmer of hope. That he thoughtfully brought together the various legal threads of the case into a compelling argument evened the playing field. And his patience and persistence, and years of experience in this area, ultimately resulted in my former employer agreeing to a Separation Agreement largely on my terms and paying an award that was almost 800% higher than they had initially budgeted for this matter.
Demetri is a consummate professional — skilled, accessible, responsive, compassionate — and is truly a David vs the Goliath of large Wall Street firms. I was very glad to have him on my side.

Jennifer Fowler has been my family attorney since 2005. After executing the selling of my mother's house, she set up a family trust, which, upon my mother's death, turned into a special needs trust for my disabled brother. She is currently helping me administer the trust.
Over the years, Jennifer has helped me with various trust, social security, and retirement issues. She has always been highly responsive and fully devoted to the project at hand.
Jennifer Fowler is one of the most ethical attorneys I've ever known. It's immensely comforting to know that I have a fierce advocate no matter what might come up in the future.

Laurie is a godsend. The all-cash sale of my co-op should have been quick and easy, but it wasn't. In fact, it was insanely complicated for reasons only the bully co-op's lawyer know. Without Laurie's guidance, patience, and gentle approach, I would have been forced to litigate, but I'm closing tomorrow. I'll happily take her tuning fork over a hammer any day of the week! She's quick to respond, keeps track of everyone's loose ends, and gets-things-done! I can't recommend her enough!

Barbara (BJ) Ebensten has been my attorney for my special needs child for almost a decade. Her expertise and knowledge in her field is more than admirable, it's comprehensive. She has helped us sue our school district successfully after several attempts at working it out with the school district. She allows my husband and me to be the parents, while she does the fighting. We secured services for our son that he otherwise would not have received. (even though he was entitled to them) This attorney has integrity and brains.. a winning combo. Im so grateful for her.

Mario Vasquez is not helpful in desperate times of need. If seeking legal support or counsel you best search elsewhere. He is very unwilling to offer support and won’t even point you in the right direction outside of his firm. His response below said I called about a family member but I never did. I called because multiple Bronx community members expressed horrible experiences from seeking his legal support.

I cannot recommend Alexandra highly enough as a divorce attorney. From the very beginning, she was empathetic, patient, and kind, qualities that are so important during such a challenging time. Alexandra skillfully maneuvered the negotiation process, helping to avoid the stress and expense of litigation. Her mastery of the legal process, combined with her deep understanding of the emotional aspects of divorce, made all the difference for me. I am incredibly grateful to have had Alexandra in my corner and would encourage anyone going through a divorce to seek her guidance.

In a volatile market, it was incredible to have Troy protecting our families interests throughout the process. He ensured we meet all the key deadlines, briefed us at every stage and provided us valuable insight about local market conditions. He also made sure we secured major more reductions in closing and other costs - so in the end he save us far more than he cost.
