Anu and her team assisted with my upgrade from EB2-NIW to EB1A. Anu was exceptional at listening, providing guidance, and suggesting creative approaches to build a strong case based on my credentials and strengths. She was always reachable by email or phone. Ian was also very supportive and super responsive. Veena and Aishwarya prepared the petition, and while it took a few months longer than anticipated, they ensured the case was well-presented with sufficient evidence. Despite having zero citations or publications, my EB1A was approved without any RFE! They are great at what they do!

I recently had the privilege of working with Attorney Ian Meyer and senior paralegal, Prateeksha to compile my O1A visa petition under incredibly tight timelines. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. In a situation where time was of the essence, Ian Meyer and Prateeksha demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise worked overtime and over the weekend to ensure the petition was completed and timely filed. Despite the short notice, they adeptly navigated through the complexities of the O1A visa requirements, ensuring that every aspect of the petition was meticulously prepared and submitted within the stipulated timeframe. They went above and beyond to streamline the process, providing clear guidance at every step and addressing any concerns promptly. To my astonishment, the petition was not only compiled swiftly but also received approval from USCIS in just a matter of days. This outcome speaks volumes about their competence and effectiveness in achieving results, even under challenging circumstances. I recommend Immigration Desk’s attorney to anyone looking for immigration assistance. They are truly outstanding in their field. Thank you once again for your outstanding support and guidance throughout this process

Your credit card will be charged. I was charged over $10,000 in one month for a contested divorce. I do not recommend this large firm, as they are looking for billable hours. Effie was distant from me and made no effort to get to know my story. I chose the Limited Representation and when you Google this, there should be a partnership. Instead, she did everything and didn't even know how to use Dropbox. I would not recommend this firm.

Attorney Cummings was wonderful. I went to her for a prenuptial agreement and this was my first experience with a lawyer. She was personable, responsive, and explained complex terminology in layman's terms. She helped us create a fair agreement within the necessary timeframe. My inability to give 5 stars (I would say 4.5) results from some lack of communication from the firm, and I will preface that I am an anxious person by nature. Attorney Cummings was out of the office for an unexpected amount of time due to a significant personal emergency. While I would not have expected communication from her or continued work on my case during that time, I do wish someone from the firm could have been more communicative about what to expect. With more communication, I would have spent less time worrying about finalizing before our deadline. It made the experience a bit more stressful than it should have been. I provided this feedback to Attorney Turco and do believe it was well received. Overall, I would fully recommend Attorney Cummings. She went above and beyond for my prenuptial agreement. Additionally, Attorney Cummings and the firm were communicative about the closing out process and when I would receive my retainer.

I contacted Attorney Karpf after my initial lawyer withdrew due to my inability to pay mounting legal fees. I was in the middle of a highly contested divorce and only three weeks away from my Pre-Trial hearing—a very stressful and uncertain time. Attorney Karpf took the time to thoroughly review my case and provide valuable advice and consulting services, even though I was unable to retain him as my primary attorney for financial reasons. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of my case until its resolution. What also stood out was the level of communication. Attorney Karpf promptly and thoughtfully addressed all my urgent concerns, providing clear and practical solutions. His professionalism, deep knowledge of family law, and ethical approach gave me a sense of reassurance during one of the most difficult times in my life. Finally, and I have to mention it because it is important in a divorce, Attorney Karpf's fees were clear, honest, and affordable, which is not always easy to find in such a contentious and highly emotionally charged process. My only regret is not meeting Attorney Karpf from the very beginning of my divorce proceedings. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and principled family law attorney.

A. Joseph Ross represented me on two separate landlord cases when I was a tenant. He was an absolute fun to work with and he won both my cases. He isn't shy to puff out his chest and go for the bad guys, and he also helped write the landlord tenant laws when he worked for Dukakis. He knows the law in and out and there are no second guesses. He likes to talk so remember you are on the clock and he has a great sense of humour. I wish all lawyers cared as much about their tenants as this mad did.

I usually don't write reviews buy I felt compelled to share my experience with Steve. Now here's the thing I called at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and he answered! It was on a whim and im so happy that I found him and reached out. I explained my what I feel might be a "messy" situation trying to get divorced. He listened with no judgement and told me that I already seem to know what to do but let me help you if i can. He offered for me to fill out all my paperwork (because the court house lost my divorce paperwork SMH) and when I have it all in order to email him and he said he will not charge me for him to look it over. I have called a couple lawyers and no one ever offered me anything like this. I feel he really heard me and I am just so grateful that he answered my call. Going forward if I need to retain he is who I will be retaining. This man is very kind, humble and just a good guy. Thank you Steve you gave me my hope back that I lost for some time. I wish I could give more then 5 stars!

I rarely write online reviews, but i think it is critical in this instance, firstly, because I used Avvo in assisting with my legal selection and consumers need this data. So, I will be as honest as I can. Attorney Zlochiver is principled. I found his service to be based upon fairness and seeking the best outcome within the limits of the law, and done with an un-excitable, stable spirit. This sometimes was a sticking point for us. My opponent was aggressive and angry, and I wanted more energy; wisely, Attorney Zlochiver did not return all of the flaming brands I requested of him. In the end, for better or worse, he tempered my anger and frustration with my case. Attorney Zlochiver is responsive. He was always reachable by email and phone. Reasonable response times were always met. In summary, if you are seeking retribution and revenge, I don't think you'll find satisfaction here. I occasionally felt as though we could have been more aggressive--going on the offensive vs. a defensive posture, but Steve knew it would have been a futile, mis-use of my fee and he was careful about fee utilization.

In searching for a family lawyer, I had three criteria: 1) A competent lawyer who is familiar with the presiding judge. It is important that the lawyer knows what the judge looks for in a case both in the court room and the filed documentation. He was able to advise of the proper strategy to get the best case scenario without having the situation spiral into a more contentious case. 2) An objective lawyer who has enough court-room experience to be realistic in assessing possible outcomes. Rather than simply being hopeful, he suggested contingencies for the most plausible decisions that the judge may make during the hearing. 3) An understanding lawyer who would work with my limited budget & time. Mr. Zlochiver took on my case knowing of my financial situation and worked into the late evening on new documentation in order to bolster my case the following morning. Steven Zlochiver certainly does not comes to mind when you think of the typical ambulance-chasing lawyer. Not a shark. Not a clock watcher. Rather, someone you definitely want in your corner who is willing to relate to your circumstances.

I met Michael after my case had gone on for over 5 years and had burnt out my previous attorney. He took my case, got his team working on it, and within less than 2 years, despite a massive opposition from the insurance company, won. He defended me without compromise, always showed genuine concern for my wellbeing, and presented my case in court with true professional and technical skill. I can't put into words how appreciative I am for the work Michael did in presenting my side of the story and letting the truth be known. With the end of the case and the closure I found afterward my life and health have improved by multitudes and that is a direct result of his efforts and representation. There is no dollar amount that can be put on that and no greater gift. I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone who is looking for a hardworking, genuine, and professional lawyer.

Hands down, Attorney Gillis is the attorney you want by your side guiding you. When people ask you "Do you have a Good Attorney" be rest assured that Michael Gillis is THAT good attorney. Michael delivered us from a nightmare of a criminal case that was so unbelievable we were approached by the New York Times to cover the case. In addition, there was very little precedent set, if any, that actually matched the various aspects and moving parts of our case. I do not take writing this review lightly at all so when I say Michael was exceptional and saved my son's life and future please believe it. He was able to navigate us through a criminal case as well as a school discipline case and restore my son's future to him. I will never be able to thank Michael enough for his service, guidance, and compassion through our ordeal.

I would like to first say, I have never made a post before. But when asked if I would consider, it was an immediate YES! I first had the opportunity to work with Kristina Yee Vitullo when she represented a buyer in a commercial property I was selling. I found Kristina to be professional, responsive and communicated efficiently about the transaction. I was so impressed with her work that I reached out and she has now represented me in my last two transactions. Kristina is a great attorney to work with and I highly recommend her firm!

I recently had the pleasure to work with Kristina Yee Vitullo. Unfortunately, I got myself into a situation where I had made, what was for me, a large deposit, much of which was not refundable. As time went on, I realized I did not want to go forward for a variety of reasons. The situation was complex. Kristina is extremely bright and personable and was quick to understand the situation. She wrote a brilliant letter to the organization I had contracted with, and within a few weeks, was able to obtain an 85% refund of my deposit for me. I was incredibly delighted and relieved. Kristina is responsive, easy to work with, and as shown above, gets results quickly, without making a big deal of things, for an extremely fair cost. You'd be smart to hire her for whatever your needs are.

I hired Mr Blumenthal after he was referred to me by a family member I trust. I was going thru a stressful bankruptcy and was looking for someone that I could count on to help me thru the process. Mr Blumenthal was easy to contact, quick to respond, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in every question I had. Not only did he answer all my questions, but he took the time on his own to look into things that might benefit me before I even asked about them. It’s nice to hire a lawyer and in the end feel like you got your money’s worth. If you are looking for someone you can trust who will get the job done and walk you thru the unfortunate process of dealing with a bankruptcy, this is your guy!

We are very grateful to him.

I had a truly excellent experience working with Kyle Smith and the team at Statera Law on my recent home purchase. This was my third time going through the home buying process (not to mention numerous refinances) and Kyle and the team made everything so easy and streamlined working with lenders, agents, and other legal representatives involved in the transaction. Kyle does a fantastic job of translating complex "legalese" into information that's easily understood by non-lawyers and was always available to respons to even the most basic questions. I would absolutely work with Statera Law again for future legal needs and recommend them highly.

I'm so glad I found Vesta at the very beginning of my process. They have free webinars with professionals from every field imaginable to give free advice for the process. Lawyers and mediators, to mortgage brokers and real estate agents, financial planners, forensic accountants, whatever you need to help you with the divorce and to start over again. Their professionals are vetted and have free consultations. Even if they're not in your state I would attend free webinars to learn what you don't know and get prepared.

我和赵律师通过我的一位挚友朋友介绍于2020年1月认识,当时我因离婚事宜一直在麻州找律师,我对她的第一印象来自于我朋友对她的介绍。她说赵律师是一名非常有正义感并乐于帮助他人的律师。2020年1月我们在微信上互加好友,之后就离婚事宜我曾多次通过微信和电话咨询赵律师。在认识赵律师之前我也咨询过其他律师,相比之下,赵律师是最有耐心的。2021年年底我的离婚案启动,由于考虑交通问题,我当时并没有选择赵律师,而是在附近找了一名当地律师为我打离婚案,而事实证明这是我做的最错误的选择。这名律师不仅搞砸了我的案子,还收取了不合理的费用。 当我的案子在进行到Trial之前,我感到特别无助,我当时唯一能做的就是果断换一名律师,我能想到的第一人选就是赵律师。赵律师在接到我的案子后,从头到尾进行梳理,进行补救。这期间她一直和我保持沟通,所有的文件及时分享给我,让我了解最新的进度,我能感受到赵律师在很用心的做我的案子。除了专业的法律知识和犀利的口才,赵律师给我印象最深刻的就是她强有力的逻辑思维能力和应变能力。 我的离婚案前后经历了两年左右时间,这是我人生中最身心疲惫的两年,赵律师的接手,让我的生活逐渐步入了正轨,作为赵律师的客户,我很安心。离婚判决的结果显得已经不那么重要了,选择一名好的值得信任的律师,为我带来了远比金钱物质更有价值的东西。 近年来我从其他朋友的谈论中我也了解到,赵律师帮助过很多客户并得到大家的广泛认可和好评。

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderfully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

My husband and I hired John right after, and I mean right after, our first child was born...realizing that we needed to get our "estate" in order. He clearly outlined everything that we needed gather, discuss in advance, and then guided us through the process and planning part with recommendations. He was incredibly patient with us too in getting all of our final paperwork signed and processed, as that was a crazy time for us. The whole process could not have gone any smoother, and when it was complete, we were amazed that we had put it off for so long thinking it was such a huge project to take on. I definitely recommend using John for estate plans.

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.
