Robert really helped me through a tough time. He was always available to answer my questions and really tried hard to make sure that I got my money and medical treatment. He took over my case from another law firm and he got me a settlement that was four times more than what the other law firm told me to settle for. I would highly recommend using Robert for your workers comp case.

My husband and I hired Mr. Wurtzel for the closing of our house. It was a stressful time but the fact that he was responsive to our calls and emails and open to hearing our thoughts (the previous lawyer we used was not), made the process easier. He also has a calming temperment, which is VERY RARE from our experience, and he works efficiently. His years of experience were evident in his clear thinking and in his succint writing. We felt like we were in good hands so we also hired him for a separate deed transfer. His fees were very reasonable, especially for the amount of work he put in (the buyers were difficult and Mr. Wurtzel handled the additional negotations). I recommend this level-headed, hardworking, and kind lawyer.

you need an attorney who will really listen to you. Adam represented me and in our first meeting I said that I wanted to take the path of least resistance. He was willing to do that with me but advised me, along the way, of best and worst case scenarios. His background in social work allowed him an unusual understanding of the human element involved. This was essential when my (now) ex-husband began to press for more and more by way of settlement. There were any number of times when I had to balance various emotions and practical decisions. Adam was there with me fully. He also worked effectively with my husband's attorney, when he finally chose to get one. The result: I am divorced and I have retained my sanity!

Rima was really great and I recommend her for anyone needing help with an eviction. Rima was available all the time through the process and helped negotiate a deal with the tenant to avoid court at a time when the courts were closed during the pandemic. Her fees are very reasonable and honest.

Andrew consulted with with first via phone and then in person, free of charge. He drew up a flowchart of how to proceed to get my Mother Medicaid and into a nursing home. I trusted him and followed his instructions to a tee! He charged just one flat fee. No hidden fees. I was never intimidated to call him! Thanks to Andrew, my Mom got into a facility. I highly recommend him. He is a "real person", not a typical condescending attorney! Thank -you, Andrew!

I hired Andrew when my mom’s managed long term care agency denied additional hours of home health care that she needed due to worsening health. He successfully represented her interests at the fair hearings which reversed the denial of additional hours so that she now receives the necessary amount of home health care. My mom also had hired Andrew several years ago when she needed to update her power of attorney and healthcare proxy, as well as to establish a family trust so that she would be able to remain at home rather than go into a nursing home if she ever needed home health care. A few years later she needed home health care and Andrew processed her Medicaid application. We were fortunate to have had his legal counsel and representation.

I have known Arthur Blutter as an attorney, a CPA, a business mentor, a tax preparer, and a bankruptcy and foreclosure professional on Long Island for the last 35 years.
Arthur is not only a seasoned professional but also has the ability to see the whole picture in many matters of business. If I would ask him a question about any of those topics of concern, he would integrate many points and considerations that i should be aware of in those areas under discussion. He would also answer my specific concerns and needs.
Through the years, Arthur has represented and/or advised me, my friends, and family in real estate matters, tax matters, bankruptcy and foreclosure considerations on Long Island.
Arthur has always been patient and understanding with me and I would be at a great loss if I wouldn't have had him as a professional and business mentor through the years.

We hired Mr. Schirtzer to handle a fairly uncomplicated
civil dispute. He did a poor job overall. His counsel was
not useful and we felt pressured to settle when it was
contra-indicated. He was also poor at follow-up and
his personal appearance was unprofessional.
We hired him on the advice of another attorney and regret
our choice.

Jack of all trades, but a master of none.
He does not respond to you in a timely fashion.
He does not do what you ask of him.
There have been complaints filed against him with the Brooklyn Disciplinary Committee. We did not know that beforehand.
We had to find another lawyer to handle our case.
I would not recommend him.
