This was my first time having a criminal lawyer. David was friendly, transparent, informative and most importantly he answered all my questions to ease my mind. He always let me know that he was available if I needed reassurance and cared.
He was extremely prepared, professional, and well worth it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'm very happy with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for an attorney to represent them, you will not be disappointed.

My primary complaint with Allan in the past was his not getting things done in a timely manner. However, in part, I believe that may be a result of his genuine desire to help people. He charges exactly half of what his many lesser well-educated peers do. So a lot of clients flock to him and he sometimes spreads his time resources too thin. If he charged double what he charges now, like the rest of his peers, he can cut his hours in half and earn the same income. He's good enough that he'll get a steady stream of paying clients and he'll have more time to better serve those clients while allowing some free time for himself to decompress and recuperate. In the end, he got the job done for me. The work he did was good, and the court never would have held the tardy filing against me personally; Allan took responsibility for it within the motion he filed. He got the case dismissed and has proven to me that he has a better understanding and knowledge of the law and principles of the law as they are created and reinforced through caselaw than his peers do. So for those reasons, I am revising this post and have rehired Allan for current and future legal endeavors. I also highly recommend his services.

Alan is awesome. He came to me via a recommendation and I was skeptical at first because he was so hard to get in touch with. But once I hired him, he has been on the ball and great. So much so that I’ve kept him as my attorney for 5 years! He’s straightforward and tells you like it is. If you have to take your issue to trial, you definitely want him representing you in the courtroom! He’s quick on his feet and witty. Definitely worth the money and the wait.

The local lawyer retired and we needed some legal work done so we called Tim. He was very knowledgeable and able to help us out. He was easy to talk to and the work was completed in a very timely manner. We definitely plan to use Tim’s services again.

Tim is an excellent attorney. I needed legal representation and I was fortunate enough to have someone recommend him at the last minute before I showed up to court. Tim represented me perfectly. He gave sound advice from all perspectives and really gave me the best information to help me make the right choice. I also want to note that I don't live in NY State. He fought hard to make sure I could handle everything through the mail, email and phone calls. My legal issue is behind me because of his hard work and dedication. He has a great demeanor and he's very confident. I am highly recomending him because he deserves it.

Over the course of my recent issue I have talked to multiple lawyers. Tim didn't talk down to me, he spoke to me like a regular person would. He took extra time to answer all the questions I had and made sure to cover all the options and pitfalls. He didn't sugar coat the issue which I respected and appreciated. I would absolutely use him again in the future.

Keith Bruno represented me on several occasions throughout my life for everything from family law to criminal defense. He has a passion for his job and an understanding of the human condition, he cares when other lawyers do not. He helped me through the process of drug court, I probably wouldn't have made it through without his guidance... having a lawyer who actually cared about me and what happened to me really motivated me to want to change and I did. Because of Keith Bruno I graduated drug court was a manager of a restaurant for 7 years to go on to college. I am now pre-law with hopes of becoming a lawyer half as good as him someday.

I did not have any experience or history in the court system and I was nervous about the entire process. Mr. Kagan and his staff were very professional and caring and handled my case diligently and always had my best interest in mind. I am so pleased that I found them! If you have any doubts about attorneys and you don't know which one to use, you must give them a try because you that you will not regret using his services. He is the best!

Not what I expected from him, Make sure you get Tina or use another law firm.
I am in the process of filing a complaint with the Bar Association due to his neglect of my case, his unethically behavior and adversarial tone. All he wants to do is argue with his clients instead of taking professional responsibilities for the failures of his office.. This is the type of person who will throw everyone else under the bus so they can get ahead in life...

Divorce can be emotional and stressful. Mark helped to ease the stress while maintaining a high professional standard. He is an expert in his field and has a strong support team. The office, especially Kerri, was attentive to all correspondence and keeping me informed through every step in the process. Highly recommended and could not be happier with their services and guidance!

Contacted Dean May of 2016 for a pretty easy personal injury case, here we are nearly 8 years later and I still haven't seen my settlement. Dean and his associate that he hired because he couldn't handle the case himself talked me into signing a settlement and promising being payment within 30 days, is going on 60 since that. I want to recommend Dean or anybody he recommends if you are in need of proper litigation.

My husband's right hand was crushed by a contractor that was working on our property. We asked the lawyers in our small town who should we hire, and they instructed us to hire a big firm that deals solely with personal injury and that is only paid a percentage of the settlement received. We called Martin, Harding and Mazzotti and have never regretted it! As soon as Ben Barry met with us, my stress level decreased from a 10 out of 10 to about a 2. That alone was priceless! It took 2.5 years to get the full settlement (we did receive disbursements for medical bills prior to this.), and we are very happy with what we received! We are now 100% out of debt. We have enough money to finish construction on our home, and my husband has enough money left over to invest towards his retirement. Thank you to Ben & the MH&M team! You helped turn our horror into a bright future.
