I have worked with Bernis Shapiro in both an official public capacity and as a personal estate attorney. She is extremely competent and works with incredible diligence in the interest of her clients. She is especially well-versed in real estate, financing, contracts, public and municipal law, and estate planning. Based upon years of personal experience with her in her capacity as an attorney, I recommend her without reservation.

Mr Mazzamurro is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. He is a true professional and had intricate knowledge of the law. I had a case that had been badly handled by a previous attorney and was in a complete mess. I was in danger of suffering great loss and feared the worst would occur. I hired Mr Mazzamurro to help me sort out my problem and what a fantastic job he did! Not only did he sort out the problem with great professionalism, he was attentive, punctual, organized and executed each step of the case with great knowledge and expertise. I walked away a very happy client. I highly recommend him.

Have had nothing but positive interactions with Levine & Montana. Their product quality and professionalism are always top tier and have consistently exceeded all expectations. Replies are prompt and well prepared. If you’re in need of representation, no need to look any further.

Attny Matthew Montana is a consummate professional. Well versed in many areas of law. He was instrumental in helping to move through the process of prepping for and closing on the sale of my home in Cortlandt Manor. Very organized and thorough, with a calm unassuming demeanor - not too shabby a
"b-baller" either (so I am told). :~)
Would highly recommend his services to any/all!

Robert was refereed to me by a friend. At first I thought I found the rite attorney for my case. At first he would answer & return my calls rite away. I scheduled an appointment with him & that’s when things changed. We had a 5pm appointment & got there about an hour early. Was told I had to wait for my appointment time which I understood however he didn’t see us until about 5:40pm which again had he been about his business I wouldn’t have mind. But we were sitting in the waiting area & realized he was busy talking with a friend of his about swimming pools on a personal level not on a professional level. Then when we finally got to sit down with him & his partner is when everything began to go downhill. I was rear ended & was in pain & already doing therapy when I went to see him. He said without my police report & MRI’s he couldn’t really tell what type of case I had which I understood. But I was given the impression that he didn’t really want to take my case. He then proceeded to say that once he got that paperwork he would let me know how my case would look in his eyes. He told me to mail him some paperwork that I had received which I did but then a few days later the paperwork was returned to me but the post office. When I called him to see if maybe I may have left something out on the address which he gave me he never answered nor returned my calls or texts. I reached out to him several times to see what was going as the insurance company & several other people & it ended with the same results that I was getting. He basically ignore me, my calls & texts. I finally went & retained another layer that reached out to him to inform him that they would now be handling my case & that’s when I was informed that he had said he was never my lawyer. If he didn’t want to take the case all he had to do was say so or at the very least respond back to me & tell me that he wouldn’t be taking the case & that I should just seek another attorney. I feel the fact that he would just ignore me & not tell me straight that he didn’t want the case I would’ve respected his decision. However he made us feel as if he was taking the case & was representing me. The fact that he would ignore my calls & texts & could not be straight up only goes to show just how professional he really is & I would not recommend him to anyone.

My suggestion is don't waste your time or give your money away to this person, she is not smart at all, she never does anything for your case, she only talks about how she is going to solve your case and already has the money in her bank. Don't waste your time with this lawyer. She charges for correspondence that she does not even respond to. So you keep sending emails after 48-72 hours & she still doesn't get back to you.
More than 3-5 weeks waiting for the petitioner to provide evidence & he has nothing to provide to the court. This lawyer didn't submit a dismal of the case as she promised after she reviewed all the evidence I provided to her.
Find another attorney!!!

I had an unfortunate experience when I hired Ms. Pelesz. She did not correctly file my divorce, she was unresponsive including during issues related to physical violence by the opposing party, and she was far from strategic in handling my case. She became extremely hostile when I confronted her about her lack of communication/progress and mishandling of my case and did not own up to anything. Instead, she insisted that if I didn’t find other representation that she would file a motion to be removed from my case. This was a very dark time for me and she somehow made it exponentially worse. She did not fight or advocate me. Please take good care and do not use her.

Mr Malia uses a lump sum, up front cost for standard evictions and once you pay that money it seems service slowly declines to a point where a few months later you don't hear back from him. I have left several messages on multiple lines, sent several emails and have not heard back from him. He collected some partial rent from the tenant I was evicting and was supposed to send to us and has not. Also, did not seem to know the process for section 8 tenant in peekskill and I lost out on thousands of dollars that section 8 would have paid while tenant was staying in my house. I would choose carefully here.
