Over the course of one weekend, I suddenly found both of my elderly parents in the hospital. One of them would need to move into a nursing home almost immediately as the other recovered. Only, I had no clue how to even begin this process. An event like this is emotionally draining, and now, needing to quickly find a nursing home on top of this, was overwhelming. The nursing homes are ready to take patients, eager for them. Bring them on, private pay! Only going to cost you thousands of dollars a month. Easy.
When I called Spencer Ghazey-Bates, this is where I was, completely lost and overwhelmed, prepared for my parents to lose a lifetime of gathered assets within the year. After getting off the phone, this all changed.
I had a plan of action. I had reassurances from an expert that has done this time and time again for other families. An overall plan was made, steps were given, one at a time, so as not to be overwhelming. I finally could feel like I knew what to do and could start sorting our lives out again while the paperwork was being taken care of by professionals.
The nursing home's billing departments are experts at working for themselves. Without professional legal representation, I felt defenseless from their statements and bills. With Spencer, you have an export that works FOR YOU.
Over the months of this process, we gracefully landed with my parent in a good nursing home and my parent’s assets intact. Every call, email, and text to Spencer and his team was answered quickly and professionally, and at times, I almost could forget about the furious amounts of paperwork going back and forth in the background. I was able to focus instead on my family.
I cannot more highly recommend Spencer-Ghazey-Bates and his team for any elder planning you could need than I already have. If your family is having a crisis, or even just planning for a crisis, this is the team you want in your corner.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kevin for over 25 years. He has always provided excellent counsel on a variety of issues. He has provided legal counsel for my business since its inception and I believe he has provided invaluable advice. He is always available when needed and I can rely on him to provide well thought out legal and business strategies. He is a rare commodity as a lawyer who can identify the legal issues and how they relate to prudent business decision making.
My business is an unusual one in that we are providing services that are unique in my field. Kevin has helped me navigate the complex legal and business issues that revolve around what we do. In some instances we faced challenges that had not been faced before in my field and we have been able to create a business model that did not previously exist. I could not have done this successfully without Kevin's advice and counsel.
If you need a very professional, competent, and compassionate lawyer it would be a wise decision to contact Kevin and have a brief discussion with him. I am sure you will be impressed with his abilities and customer service skills especially if you need to navigate sensitive or complex issues. I have never been disappointed in his services and I don't believe you will be either.

I was very hesitant to seek out an attorney after being in a car accident as I was just too busy dealing with medical appointments and taking care of my young family. I am very happy I chose Attorney DiBartolo as he made the process pain free and very flexible. We were able to communicate thru text and email for our busy schedules as well as Zoom once the pandemic hit. His is a very compassionate lawyer that handled my case with trust, dignity and perseverance. I would highly recommend Attorney DiBartolo if the need ever comes up in the future.

Mr. Maguire is truly spectacular at what he does. When I was facing an underage OUI case I was scared stiff, but he was able to calmly look at the facts of the case and handle it with efficiency. Whenever I wanted an update on what was happening or if I needed to make an appearance, he was able to accommodate me and give me heads up. He turned what was essentially a life altering charge into a situation that I could handle and afford.

You 100% WILL NOT find a more dedicated Attorney than Anthony Canata!
His unbelievable hard work, dedication, patience and fight to win my case truly did change my life. I have an extremely rare disease, and he not only fought for me, but studied it for his own knowledge, to be in my shoes. To KNOW what he was fighting for! He won my case and has continued to be supportive fighting the battles that come with serious diseases, stress, and others' ignorance with invisible illness. I'm so grateful to have found Attorney Canata and Attorney Low. Thank you will simply never be enough! You WILL NOT be disappointed putting your trust in their hands. I promise you that.

You wont find a better team of lawyers! Not only did they take care for my situation and concerns, but they showed tremendous empathy for my circumstance and took immediate action. They thoroughly read through every document I had, as extensive as it was, which made a tremendous impact on me and my case. They always stayed in direct and continuous communication with me in a prompt, understandable and compassionate manner. My complicated case was 3 years old when they took me on and they won it in 6 months. In my experience with lawyers, these gentlemen are the best of the best!

I was in an extremely difficult situation with an OUI offense. Jesse’s thorough knowledge of the law and his dedication to his clients were directly reflected through the respect he received from the court and his colleagues. He was fair, honest, and direct in handling my case. The follow up after the ruling went above and beyond what was expected. Should you ever need representation, I recommend Jesse Adams without question.

As a developer and contractor, we sought sophisticated legal counsel with vast real estate, land use, banking and commercial transactions experience. We also sought someone with skill in collaborative and collegial negotiation. We were lucky to find that in Attorney David Bloomberg. We have been working with him, and the other fine attorneys and staff at Fierst Blomberg and Ohm LLP, including Attorney Nicolas Grimaldi, for some years, and have developed great trust and comfort working through many closings and business deals. We were able to keep our tight schedules (even through the pandemic). It's a testament to David that we find him to also be highly regarded by other lawyers, bankers, real estate professionals, government officials and within the local community. David is honest, straight forward, and a deal maker.

She knows the court system, DAs and judges in her area, and has great relationships with them. She is also very reasonably priced, and was flexible in terms of structuring her fees. I cannot recommend her services strongly enough.

I recently faced a daunting array of charges, including Assault & Battery on a Family/Household Member, Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, Carrying a Firearm Without a License, and Improper Storage of a Firearm. With mandatory minimum incarceration looming, my freedom hung in the balance.
Attorney Estes proved to be an invaluable ally during this challenging time. Through his skillful negotiation with the prosecutor, he orchestrated a plea arrangement that resulted in the dismissal of a majority of the charges. Remarkably, he secured a Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) for the most serious offense, effectively avoiding the mandatory jail time that seemed inevitable.
The resulting disposition was probation for one year, a far cry from the harsher alternatives I was initially facing. I cannot overemphasize the significance of having Attorney Estes as your defense lawyer when your freedom is on the line. His expertise, strategic approach, and unwavering dedication make him the advocate you want in your corner.

Having never worked with an attorney before, we had no idea what to really look for in selecting someone. But Hun Ohm came very highly recommended and from our very first meeting, we could tell we were in good hands. Now three years later, after working very closely with him on several detailed Intellectual Property agreements, I count my lucky stars every day that we chose Ohm for this work. He is everything you would want in an attorney. He works quickly. He catches every detail. He ensures that he is protecting your interests every step of the way. He was patient when we had many questions. He was also a joy to work with, as we very much appreciated his calm, grounded demeanor. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Working with Fierst Bloomberg Ohm LLP has been excellent. I've been their client for several years and I have never been left wanting for more responsive or thorough support. In cases where a question lies outside of their areas of focus they have referred me to others who can better answer my questions. I recommend their practice to anyone.
Specifically, Hun has worked with me on our IP licensing contracts. He has a wealth of knowledge about what is common practice and is ethical and fair in his recommendations. It helps us to maintain a moral business while still protecting our financial future. He had great advice, therefore, on how/when to calculate recoupment of publisher costs. And he has had many creative solutions to write safety net protections for both developer and publisher so we can navigate negotiations.

Attorney James B. Winston is an excellent choice if you are searching for someone to represent you in applying for disability benefits. From the time I had my first meeting with him, to the recent end of a very lengthy process, Jim has been friendly, easily accessible and informative. He always responded promptly to any questions I had. He breaks down this tedious process into easily understandable pieces i.e. what does this mean for me? He took my concerns and my injuries seriously, and that was so valuable to me. I highly recommend Jim and his services. I know he'll work as hard for you as he did for me, with respect and intelligence.

I cannot express how fortunate my husband and I are to have worked with Jon on the purchase and sale of our homes. He educated and guided us throughout the entire process which made things much smoother and kept us informed every step of the way. There were many, many issues that came up over the sale of our condo and purchase of our new property (none were his fault) and Jonathan handled everything perfectly. He is trustworthy, shows great integrity and is on your side. He is very accessible, always returns your calls and emails even the frantic ones on the weekends. I cannot say enough about him. Having worked with other attorneys on different properties, I have come to realize how important having the right team can be when it comes to real estate. I highly doubt we would have been able to overcome the obstacles we faced if it had been left in the hands of another attorney. Another thing that really impressed me was how he kept everyone in the loop; he worked extremely well with our realtor, our buyers and sellers realtors and the other attorneys; always keeping the lines of communication open and the process moving forward. He is diligent and fights for you as his client. He always made it seem like we were his top priority and most important client which was refreshing because it showed he truly cares about your transaction and values you as a client. If you’re a realtor, mortgage lender, buyer or seller you need Jonathan Breton on your team, I would highly recommend working with him. You do not realize the importance and impact a great attorney can make until you’ve made the mistake of using a bad one. Let me save you the aggravation, hire Jon.

I was very hesitant to seek out an attorney after being in a car accident as I was just too busy dealing with medical appointments and taking care of my young family. I am very happy I chose Attorney DiBartolo as he made the process pain free and very flexible. We were able to communicate thru text and email for our busy schedules as well as Zoom once the pandemic hit. His is a very compassionate lawyer that handled my case with trust, dignity and perseverance. I would highly recommend Attorney DiBartolo if the need ever comes up in the future.
