He does very well with kids and knows how to speak with them! Highly recommend Matthew Douthat! My son was very nervous and instantly warmed up to him and he made it very easy for him to speak with him.

I had Andrew Brockway represent me for a protection order case against my ex-husband. He was very professional and got everything I needed met. He was on time very serious. Took his job very serious. I’m very happy with the results of the case. I would definitely refer him to anybody who needed a good lawyer in family law.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Andrew. He was an absolute shark at handling my case, and was also a beacon of hope to my family. Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself during such a difficult time. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Brockway without reservation. Thanks again Andrew!

Andrew words can not describe how me and my daughter feel right now. Some of my work crew thought I was having a heart attack or something because after you gave me the amazing news I basically collapsed on on the concrete floor at work. Words can’t say enough to how thankful me and my daughter are to you.

She and her staff were friendly, kind and very helpful. Mary Anne was very knowledgeable. She explained everything in terms I could understand. She got right to the point and didn't confuse me by overwhelming me with too much non relevant information as many professionals do.
I like that most about her. I went to another attorney before her and left not understanding anything he said.

Susan was the most compassionate and supportive person I encountered during one of the most difficult times of my life. I hope she goes into private practice one day and earns the money she deserves. I wouldn't have survived my divorce without her guidance and support.

Truly caring and knowledgeable, I don't know what I would have done without her. I know several others who she has helped who feel the same. She returns call, truly cares about your circumstances, and thoroughly prepares and persists for you. I hope she goes into private practice one day because there are a lot of people who I'd like to refer to her but her office only serves low-income people. She worked harder for me than my ex-husband's private attorney did for him in our divorce! She's honest and helps you feel clear about what you're doing and why, which was amazing for me during my divorce. Thank you, Susan!

Generally a good experience closing on a new house, except that the office emailed me multi-page documents sideways/landscape making them difficult to read. I asked twice for final closing docs to be formatted correctly and my requests were simply ignored. I ended up having to rotate each page individually. Maybe a small thing, but when paying large closing fee, I expect not to be ignored and to have documents formatted properly.

Joe Mucia was appointed as my attorney By Essex County NY family court. I had a complex case and Joe handled every question and concern that I had. He answered every email and phone call that I sent promptly. I had a lot of anxiety around my case and just knowing that Joe Mucia was on my side fighting for me helped ease all of my anxieties. I really couldn't have asked for a better court appointed lawyer! Thank you Joe

Hired Joe to handle my divorce. I was emotionally charged. Joe put my mind at ease after our first meeting. The divorce was uncontested and Joe was able to come up with equitable settlement for the custody of my children that was fair to myself and my ex spouse. Joe is very nice and was able to answer numerous questions and also drafted and settlement that made life post divorce very manageable for both parties. In addition to a tremendous job the speed in which he and his team got the whole process done was nothing short of amazing. I recommend him highly and listen to what he says he will lead down the correct path.

I normally do this work myself but didn't have time. The paperwork sent to NY by Frank Zappala was rejected by Clinton County. Upon my review, it was in fact done incorrectly. I redid it myself, and it went through with flying colors as always. I cordially offered the information to Frank Zappala hoping it would assist both him and his clients in their future endeavors. I did not request even a partial refund. This guy has the arrogance to bill me for research that further confirms his errors. You think about that.
