For the 10th time I called LEGAL AID seeking legal assistance as a senior citizen since 2014. Never do they service, whatever, my issue is. This time I was referred to JUST CAUSE, who talked over me, and abruptly hung up in my hear when I said I'd just been on hold 40 minutes to ask and receive the same answer from Legal Aid; "DO you provide assistance applying for Social Security Disability?". No. They help you appeal. If you apply correctly 1st time, it would reduce the need for appeal. Legal Aid and Just Cause are REDUNDANT in their services, wasting my tax dollar. The issues I have at 60, 70, 80 are different than at 20, 30, 40. Where is the courtesy, respect and assistance we seniors deserve. Rude, rude and rude!

Most careless lawyer I've ever used. Takes weeks to respond to emails then makes a 1 minute phone call to you and makes up excuses why he hasn't answered. Then makes you feel like you're bothering him for asking for responses. You want a lawyer with no backbone then pick this guy. Id rather have my dog represent me.

I hired Jonathan Trotto because he gave me false confidence. My case should’ve been an easy win considering all the evidence and everything we had against my ex. At first, he acted like this would be a slam dunk win and I would get everything and more that I was seeking. After the first hearing, I lost all hope in him. He practically laid down and let my exes attorney run the court. He never was aggressive or assertive about anything in the courtroom. He was pushing for me to settle every meeting afterwards. It felt as though, by the end of it all, he was brokering deals behind my back. I ended up exactly where I started. I wouldn’t recommend this firm to anyone in a million years.

Reached a reasonable agreement twice with my ex, which he delayed so we would go to court, I got backed into a corner because of this and was forced to agree to things I did not want, I would have been better off letting my ex's lawyer do everything. Cost me THOUSANDS!

Avoid using Jon Bonavilla for your divorce attorney. Jon did not provide me with proper representation, overall Jon’s communication was not helpful and left me confused, and Jon provided limited legal advice. After a couple of months, I sought out a new attorney.

I worked with Michael for my house closing. Not only was Michael professional throughout this process but he kept me informed every step of the way. The closing went smoothly and was completed in an organized and timely fashion. I would not only recommend him as my attorney of choice I would also recommend Lacy Katzen as my preferred law firm for any legal matter.

This attorney represented me in Family Court. It was a very emotional experience, but he made it much easier for me. He did a great job and was extremely compassionate and was always available at a very difficult time in my life.

Steven Witkowicz is a liar and a cheat and can't be trusted, lies to your face and makes deals, takes payoff and brides with your opponent behind your back to work against you, I learned this the hard way. I lost a lawsuit this way using Steven Witkowicz as my attorney, Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lawyer that is honest and can be trusted, DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM FOR ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY STEVEN WITKOWICZ AS YOUR ATTORNEY. If I could give Steven Witkowicz a negative star I would.

As far as bad attorneys go she is probably the worst. Only time she returned a call was to collect money. Does not know law and the judge seemed to be disgusted with her lack of preparation . Do not use her..

Unanswered questions,unanswered e-mails, phone calls, not following up on obligations. Her final bill has already been paid and the situation she's been paid for is far from finished. Do not hire her! my situation is so out of hand and she could care less. The amount of stress I'm dealing with her is more than anyone could handle.

Mr. Martin Handelman and Mr. Steven Witkowitz were both professional and took excellent/outstanding care of my case. They always keep me current and informed on every step of the legal process. I felt safe and protected, I actually felt untouchable because of their expertise and skill. They are powerful lawyers and caring individuals. I am filled with gratitude and warmth for all they have done for me.

UPDATE- I received a call from the elder Handelman, He said he will look into my case and call me back. Still waiting for that call. Then the younger Handelman called me, apparently not knowing the other one called. He said my case was transferred to another lawyer, could/would not tell me why. Then he told me to take my review down, since it was untrue. When I told him that it was still indeed true, since I never received a letter stating they transferred the case, so in my eyes they are still the lawyers handling the case. (By the way, I called the so called new lawyer, and he has no clue what I am talking about. He said he will look into it and call me back. Again still waiting).I said so "instead of 5 and a half years, you had the case for 4 years with no resolution and that is still unacceptable. And for them not to let me know that they handed off the case to another firm, that was very unprofessional. He kept insisting I removed the review, and when I said I would not, he hung up on me. So, if you want them to return your calls for any reason, please leave them a negative review and they will call you right away. What a joke. They have been handling my dads estate for 5 and a half years, and I still dont know what is going on. They won't give you a straight answer, there is no correspondence. They are a terrible.

Steve was by far the best attorney I've had (and I've had many at this point) with my family law issues. He went above and beyond for me! He handled everything himself, and I wasn't always speaking to a paralegal. His paperwork was phenomenal, and the judge threw the case out in less than ten minutes. I wish he was able to handle everything for me. I think about him often, and the impact he had on my family. Best most caring attorney hands down.

I lost a lawsuit this way using Steven Witkowicz as my attorney, Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lawyer that is honest and can be trusted, DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM FOR ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY STEVEN WITKOWICZ AS YOUR ATTORNEY. If I could give Steven Witkowicz a negative star I would.

Mr. Martin Handelman and Mr. Steven Witkowitz were both professional and took excellent/outstanding care of my case. They always keep me current and informed on every step of the legal process. I felt safe and protected, I actually felt untouchable because of their expertise and skill. They are powerful lawyers and caring individuals. I am filled with gratitude and warmth for all they have done for me.

Steve was by far the best attorney I've had (and I've had many at this point) with my family law issues. He went above and beyond for me! He handled everything himself, and I wasn't always speaking to a paralegal. His paperwork was phenomenal, and the judge threw the case out in less than ten minutes. I wish he was able to handle everything for me. I think about him often, and the impact he had on my family. Best most caring attorney hands down.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
