I have never needed a lawyer before but I am super grateful that Robert Jeremy Nahoum was my first. He is super friendly and knowledgable even under stressful situations. Given I have never been through this kind of thing before he was very supportive and patient with me. Everything turned out great in the end and I will be keeping his number, hoping I wont need it again but if I do he's my go to! He's truly the best and very genuine!

Peter is a fantastic attorney and an even better person. He is thoughtful, diligent and hardworking.
He helped us fight a greedy builder by working through our town’s planning and zoning boards to stop a monstrosity being built next to our primary residence. And he did so with a tact and grace that he was then able to then help us buy that same property at a significant percentage discount over asking price.
Unlike me, he didn’t get angry or take it personal in fighting a multi-year battle against the developer, who routinely lied to our town. He brought in zoning experts, an engineer and an architect to sway the town’s Zoning department and see fit that the developers project fail with multiple variance violations - he did so with an assertive grace that blew my wife and I away! Trust me; I’m cheap but I even told Peter he didn’t charge us enough for his great work.
I’m now happy to call Peter a friend and genuinely can’t say good enough things about him. When we needed someone to have our back, Peter came through in a big way for our family, and for the historical integrity of our little community.

Peter is prompt and communicative. I worked with him on three different transactions/deals within 3 months time (he worked with accuracy and professionalism). He plans for the future and thoroughly prepared for any outcome of my cases. His advice was most appreciated with a transaction that I had to walk away from. I felt invincible with him by my side for my other deals. Without a doubt, I will choose Klose & Associates again.

Mr. Raso was personable and knowledgeable from the start, with a wealth of experience to help him lay out the process for me and set me at ease. He listens well and gives helpful feedback. He calmed my initial nervousness while presenting an accurate picture of the possible outcomes. He has an excellent legal IQ for the traffic issues he specializes in.

We hired Frank to assist with a DWI violation. This was a very scary situation for our family and we did not know what to do. Frank was very kind and patient; first putting our mind at ease as he explained his experience with cases like ours, then moved forward to explain the process, the options available to us, the best possible outcome along with the worst possible outcome. After that, we discussed a strategy for the best possible outcome. We sincerely appreciated the education provided as it helped us to set our expectations. Frank succeeded to work on our case and achieved the best possible outcome. For those reading my review, I completely understand the feeling of uncertainly when looking for someone to represent you. It can be very difficult to determine a "Good" lawyer from a "So-So" lawyer. Frank is not only a "good" lawyer, I would say he is among the "BEST" in his profession. As the case is now behind us, we hope that we will not need a lawyer on a matter like this again, but if we do, Frank is on speed-dial.

I was referred to Maria Tobia by a coworker after he received a favorable outcome in his case with her representation. Maria is a passionate attorney that truly cares about her clients. She differs from other attorneys in that she is willing to go the extra mile to assure the best possible outcome. My case took over a year to get resolved and Maria was there the entire time keeping me informed and pushing for a better judgement. She was not willing to accept the first plea deal we were offered as many other attorneys would do because she knew she could do better. Throughout the case, she was always willing to take my calls and texts and answer any questions I had. She is extremely knowledgeable on the law and her passion for her work is what sets her apart from the rest.

I retained Maria for a case i had back in 2011, and let me tell you... She's very precise when attacting fine line issues that can lesser or even get your case "thrown out".
I was refferd to her by word of mouth- and the word do travel, because im from brooklyn and she works prodominantly in the bronx. Around that time, i was told that see just "beat" a serious case of one of my fiancee close friends husband. And since my case then was a bit serious, picking her for the task was a "no brainer".
The engery was awesome when we first met. She was very compassionate and professional. The D.A. , was ready to go to trail, but I was able to fire the lawyer i had, due to ineffective counsel... and as soon as I had Ms. Tobia on board she was able to turn a situation that was heading for the worst- much better.
Actually, to make a long story shorter, she "Beat" the case. The felony was dropped to a misdemeanor and without getting to tectnical, I was able to walk.
In a nutshell, Ms. Tobia is very sharp and well rounded when it comes to maneuvering through out court proceedings, preparing and presenting infomation.
YES, I recomend Ms. Tobia if your in a jam.

Fantastic lawyer and a great kind man! I can highly recommend Stuart Meyer.

Stuart Meyer, Esq. handled my necessities hearing and my divorce.
My divorce case had already been in progress for four years when Stuart assumed my representation from the firm’s senior partner handling it. At that point, I had perpetually been under siege and felt the process would never end.
As my attorney, Stuart reversed the tide and was able to control my ex-spouse’s and her attorneys’ unending litany of delays, demands, threats and accusations. When Stuart subsequently left the firm to establish his own practice, I followed and retained him to continue representing me.
In the end, thanks to Stuart, I received an equitable settlement to which I owe the fine lifestyle and security I presently enjoy. I believe this would not have happened had I remained with the initial law firm.
The reasons for Stuart’s effectiveness are many but include the following:
• Stuart was always fully prepared. Although very knowledgeable, he did not hesitate to research issues or laws to verify his position, actions or strategies.
• He is honest and forthright, sets realistic goals, and achieves them.
• He understands and cares about your problem, and conveys an assurance he will do everything possible to help you succeed.
I unequivocally recommend Stuart Meyer to anyone seeking sincere, user-friendly, competent and effective legal representation.

Steve Abel handled divorce and custody issues for me over a large stretch of years. He is patient in explaining procedure and was great in helping to cope with all the emotions that are associated with divorce and custody battles. He is a great advocate for his clients.

I used Steve for my divorce mediation as well as for my will.
Steve is regarded by most as the best matrimonial mediator in Rockland County. He guided us through a complicated mediation process quickly. He was mindful of what was fair and reasonable. He advocated for both my ex-wife and for me. He routinely reminded us that this would be difficult but that the benefits or mediation were worth the effort.
Steve communicated effectively acting as our mediator but also as a therapist to get us through the process.
I've had the opportunity to work with Steve in a matrimonial court. I observed the respect that the judge had for his opinion, experience and his sense of fairness.
Without reservation, I would recommend Steve to anybody seeking a smart and able mediator.

David Wallace is brilliant- his prose, path, choice of words, and second to none. In the most stressful time in our lives we turned to David Wallace to resolve a very serious dispute- one that would have ended our world as we know it had he not been successful and I never once doubted that he would win. His “attack” methods can be harsh and as long as you trust his tactics and allow him to truly do his job you will never be let down. I hope to never need him again but if I do he would forever be my choice.

I tried a case -- the first of its kind in the jurisdiction -- with David in the trial trenches with me. It was an especially emotional and hard-fought trial which received media attention. Good trial lawyers put in the time to learn the case record thoroughly, prepare effective witness examinations, openings and closings and maintain credibility with the jury and judge. The rare great trial lawyers are all that, but also courageous and creative, thinking outside the box and taking creative and thoughtful approaches and risk in examining witnesses and in other trial tasks. David is in the rarefied club to which great trial lawyers and counselors belong. His tireless work ethic, courage and creativity were instrumental in our achieving a successful result in our trial.

I encountered a legal situation in my field of fashion merchandising and marketing. We discovered that an employee was copying our design and selling the same to our client structure. I retained Joseph Adams to help us with this theft of our corporate entity. He was honest, direct and always explained everything in a clear and understandable manner. We appeared in court on numerous occasions where I felt Mr Adams was confident and obviously did a substantial amount of research., We ended up going to mediation which resulted in the defendant having to make a settlement to our company. Overall I was extremely impressed with Mr. Adams handling of our case. Most attorneys would never have put in this kind of time and personal effort. I would let Joseph Adams handle any of my legal concerns whether it be personal or business related.

A step above the rest. Very giving of his time whether in a meeting or phone conference. Never a feeling of being rushed off or out. And his assistant, Carla, is excellent. And a lot of the experience with an attorney is with his assistant or secretary. So this is important. She is on top of everything and keeps you very informed. Walter is extremely knowledeable yet speaks in terms you can always understand. I have recommended him many times and always will. I'm not certain as to all the areas of law he works with. I've used him mostly for Realestate and have used his services multiple times over the past 6 years. He is well known and liked in the area of Nyack and he is the Town Attorney as well. Consider that i've taken the time to write this review. Hiring the right attorney is important.

We were looking for the help of an attorney on the subject of Estate Planning, which has been troubling us for sometime. We had several questions pertaining to Living Trust, Taxes, Will, Probate, General Power of Attorney and Disability Planning. Based on the recommendation, we sought an appointment to consult Jessica Kiely, PC, Nyack, NY.
We were impressed with the office and the cordial reception we received. On the very first visit she dispelled most of our doubts and fears. Jessica explained the legalities, latest requirements and processes in simple terms, easily understandable. Her friendly demeanor and supportive attitude made it very easy for us to work with. Jessica Kiely is undoubtedly among the best attorneys in the field. We are indeed fortunate to have Jessica in our community to help us with Estate Planning and Elder Law.

I met Peter Klose through very unfortunate circumstances, my brother was dying and we needed to get his affairs in order. From the beginning, what struck me most about Peter was his deep level of compassion and respect for my brother and then me. That never changed throughout our experience. Peter fully understood the level of grief that we were dealing with. His empathetic character was a tremendous gift for me in managing not only the loss of a beloved family member, but also the anxiety of now living through such a traumatic experience while having to settle his estate.
Peter, on more than one occasion, also provided emotional support as I expressed how anxious the process of closing a loved one's life down was making me. He was honest in offering professional and personal advice. His words, "Let me handle this. It's what I do" couldn't have brought any higher level of trust in him. He was supportive and patient in allowing me to ask the same questions repeatedly. He was thorough in communicating with me throughout each step of the process and in understanding the details of the paperwork. Peter's "I don't like to lose" attitude assured me that he was truly working in my best interest. My circumstances weren't typical, but through his passionate work ethic, we got through it all. I can't say enough good things about the decent human being that Peter is, much less the level of his legal expertise. When I met Peter, he was a complete stranger, an off-handed recommendation from another stranger to me. When everything was settled, and I could reflect, I realized that Peter is one of those people that I was fortunate enough to have come into my life at the worst time of my life. In my vulnerability, I felt protected by him. I completely trusted him to handle the details of my brother's life without hesitation. We closed the door on this tragic event by sharing a slice of pizza, and a conversation about some of the more pleasant things in life. In closing, I highly recommend Peter Klose to anyone who needs an attorney who comes from a foundation of passion for his work, compassion for his clients, honor, and expertise in knowing very well how to manage your legal affairs.

I highly recommend David MacCartney Jr. because he is honest. The most important quality that I respect about being a recipient of his services is that I know that he is sincere. David cares about his clients as if he was representing himself. I could not give him a five star rating because he deserves a Rare Diamond rating!!! It’s very comforting to speak with an attorney to just ask a question, and the conversation turns into a 3O minute dialogue about your family and your life.
Thank You so much, David for your words of encouragement. As a man who Honorably served in the United States Air Force, I salute you for your service. To those who need honest Legal Representation, contact him!

This is a professional law firm and I did obtain the results I requested, dealing with intellectual property rights. However their billing procedures leave much to be desired (in my opinion.)

Mr. Lewis originally represented me in Bankruptcy court, when I was CEO of a mortgage marketing firm. He was flawless in his ability to clearly show the insanely aggressive court trustee that I did not owe any of the creditors a penny. I was given a totally clear Chapter 7 without having to pay a penny. Mr. Lewis then (four years later) represented me for my divorce (after 29 years of marriage) and was able to overcome a slew of false allegations (including Protection Orders) and eventually award me maintenance and unsupervised visitation. He was always available and even gave me his cellphone - which he amazingly always found time to pick up (unless he was in court) and respond immediately (and I called him from 7am till 11pm!). The man was patient beyond belief, and showed a great deal of empathy for my situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Lewis.
