Jeremie went above and beyond my expectations for a court appointed attorney. He was thorough, knowledgeable & connected.
He advocated for me. I didn't have a leg to stand on, guilty as Charged. In jail with no bail for a non violent felony offense he got me out of custody and in a six week Cognitive Behavior Therapy Program.
He didnt hear my needs, wants and expectations. He listened. His actions proved to me that he didnt just hear me out..... He advocated for me & is playing a position in eradicating NY States recidivism rate!!!! Which ultimately benefits not only past and present prisoners but, the community as well.
He is down to earth, assertive and professional all in one.
Thank you Jeremie!

Ms. Michel represented our family interests in three real estate transactions - selling of our home, home purchase and a home refinancing. During the sale of the home, the contract was reviewed for any clauses encumbering us - finding none the transaction took place without delay. During the home purchase, the legal team for the seller stalled the transaction. Ms. Michel doggedly pursued the completion of the contract in terms favorable to both parties. In the second transaction, Ms. Michel suggested participation to protect our interests. As the owner of the loan remained the same community credit union, the transaction remained transparent and straight forward. Ms. Michel reviewed the materials at the signing to explain any section that could have a future impact on the loan repayment. The "easy" transaction was reflected in the fee charged being less than quoted. She informed us in a manner that acknowledged our intelligence as well as our inexperience with the legal requirements and language. Her communication style and frequency met our needs.

Mike is can’t-help-himself honest, someone who actually listens, sees the big picture quickly and envisions settlements that are fair to all. Chances are if there is an
opposing counsel, Mike knows him/her and their past work.

Ms Edwards is by far the best, most competent lawyer I have ever had. I've been in and out of court with custody/visitation issues for my daughter. Ms Edwards helped me settle with my ex out of court and helped me get an agreement so I can move out of state and move forward with our lives. I should also mention that she did this in just two visits with her! She is a professional and wonderful person and I will be happy to recommend her to anyone.

Nobody wants to have to go to a lawyer - but when I did, Mr. Alexson was there for me - quick with a calming word, and a pragmatic attitude. Lawyer Alexson has a common-sense approach to the law, and seemed to honestly care about my cases. The cases in point were divorce matters, and it was good to have Tim in my corner.
And his fees were more than reasonable - especially as compared to every other lawyer I've had contact with.
I'd heartily recommend Mr. Alexson to anyone in need of legal help.

Pat reviewed an employment contract for me. He was very thorough, personable, and spent ample time with me. I was impressed that when I contacted the firm, he called me back and corresponded with me personally. (Unlike some firms where administrative assistants are the middle-men.) He was available for questions, and his expertise and experience were evident. He empowered me to discuss contractual concerns. It is clear that he has client/customer service as a priority.

Gregg Redmond is an excellent criminal attorney. He went above and beyond my expectations. He took extra time out to understand the situation that happened to me. Gregg stuck by my decision to request a complete dismissal of the charges at hand despite pressure from the court. Gregg prepared an A+ report for motions to dismiss. Again above and beyond. The final:result complete dismissal. His level of commitment, dedication and expertise is undeniable. His services were much appreciated and I will only use Gregg Redmond for my legal needs.

I have known Mr. Hilderbrandt for over 30 years. He has experience in all types of law but has mainly focused on civil cases. I needed a real estate attorney and he was reccomended by a friend. Attorney Hilderbrandt went above and beyond keeping close contact with us during some unusual events that occurred with the purchase of a new home and selling of our former home. His rate was fair and I felt he went above and beyond

Recently I found myself in trouble with the criminal justice system due to a drug problem. I found myself needing a lawyer and money was tight and finding the right lawyer is very difficult. This was far from my first brush with the law which made things that much more difficult. I was facing a possible life sentence. I have used many attorneys in Monroe County although they were pretty good attorneys I never really received the outcome I hoped for. This time I hired Christopher Rodeman. The price was reasonable and he did work with my family to pay the balance. He came to see me often and keep me updated, which very few attorneys do that even when he had no information he stopped and checked on me to let me know all is ok. Due to his hard work and his dedication I got very little time. Mr rodeman seeing to it that I would get the help I need for my drug addiction so I have a new chance to live a clean life because of the help you gave me he put in more work than I paid for so this message is to say thank you Mr. Rodeman the bottom of my heart for getting me another chance. You are by far the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Great job Chris, and thank you very much . I recommend you to everyone and anyone who needs an attorney.
