His thorough knowledge of the law and years of experience enabled him to reach a very fair settlement. I would highly recommend Richard Brister.

I've knowing Mr Easton for roughly 9 years now. I first hired him for a case that involved a hand full of serious charges that stemmed from a car dealer ship that I worked at. This was a very complex case that he actually plowed right through. The coolest thing I remember about that case while besides the fact that we walked away with a slap on the wrist - was when we walked outside just about every lawyer that was there approached Mr Easton like he was the godfather. The respect and honor these lawyers have for him is just astonishing. This guy is by far one of the top 5 lawyers in the state of NY!

As CEO of a major nonprofit organization, I have consulted with Mr. McFadden on many occasions to ensure that my organization is in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. Mr. McFadden always gives me well planned legal advise along with potential benefits, he also spell out consequences of non-action. As a result of my confidence in his experience and consultation, I have engaged his firm for my personal planning.
Over the years, I have developed the utmost respect and confidence in his counsel. I seek him out whenever I am in need of legal advise.

Mr. Kalker represented me after years of fighting for worker's compensation in a pretty clear-cut case. OWCP took advantage of my lack of knowledge for the process, and turned down my claims citing technicalities, failure to establish various conclusions, and repeatedly sidestepping the evidence. They clearly did not care about the truth of the issue, and I began to understand that the directive OCWP gave their reviewers (with the exception of one fine fellow who unfortunately was not reviewing my case) was to try to deny claims as much as possible.
It was infuriating, and anyone that has dealt with OWCP probably understands what I'm talking about. How can an honest person with an honest work accident and complete documentation be denied so stubbornly?
I was at my wits' end, until I decided to do a East-Coast-wide search for a lawyer. Of the ones that turned up, I found Mr. Kalker, who was kind, caring, patient, and entirely effective.
Within two months, Mr. Kalker coordinated the effort, rewrote my claim, and won my case. He explained to me why my claim had been rejected, and very sadly I realized that OWCP had been rejecting my claim because they knew I didn't know my legal options to fight back and damage them, so they saw me as a non-threat; it seems my story is pretty common among injury applicants.
Very few times in my life has a stranger made such an incredible difference, and Mr. Kalker counts among the blessings I've been lucky enough to have. While he is quite a busy guy, I never felt like a number; he treated my case with respect and dedication, and was patient with my frayed emotions.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Kalker. He was kind and honest to me about my injury situation and my chances of getting an approved claim, which was a breath of fresh air after dealing with OCWP.
To be honest, I have never met a lawyer that I have liked, but Mr. Kalker is the one exception. God bless him for his good heart and his incredible competence.

Mr. DiMarco assisted me on title and closing issues with an apartment building last year in Arizona. His team found an issue with an encroaching wall from a neighboring property that the title company missed. They helped me through the rest of the closing process and were on top of everything.
Mr. DiMarco was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I first sought him out when I found out he is a preferred attorney for one of the largest owners of Mobile Home Parks in the country, and I can see why. Looking forward to working with him again.

I consulted with a couple of attorneys before ultimately having Lisa Arrington and by far was the best decision I made. She helped me help my family when my father suffered a debilitating stroke and couldn't go back to work. She helped inform me and take the necessary steps to protect most of my Dads estate through Medicaid planning as well as getting him into a nursing home facility to get the best care he needed and deserved. Then just two short years after helping me with my Dad she helped our family again when my sister only 28 at the time was handed a grave diagnosis.
She's not only a great attorney informing you and your family every step of the way but is compassionate of your individual circumstances. There isn't another attorney I'd use or recommend besides Lisa!!

This was a very stressful ,humbling and humiliating situation for me. Mr. Zimmerman's quiet, down to earth,warm and genuinely caring manner inspired my trust at our first meeting. He was patient and reassuring as he explained the process of defending my case. His confidence in his knowledge of the law pertaining to my situation was a great comfort.
In the grand scheme of things, I don't think my case was legally very complex, but he seemed to understand that to me it was. He made sure I understood each step of the process and patiently answered my questions. I appreciated the efficiency of being able to communicate by e-mail.
He's a nice guy that I hope I never need again!

Having spent 40 years as a business owner I have dealt with my share of attorneys, both on a business and personal level. I am happy to say that I’ve had good luck with the attorneys and have mostly good experiences. That being said, let me tell you this. Chris Enos is up there with the top 3 I’ve ever been involved with. I’ve recommended Chris to several of my friends and all have thanked me for the referral. Chris is fairly priced, doesn’t nickel dime you to death, is always there to answer a call, gets things done in a timely manner and most importantly is a deal maker, not a deal breaker. As for his areas of expertise, if he doesn’t feel he can give you 100% of what you need done, he will let you know up front. I would highly recommend Chris.

We hired Ed and BSK to handle a wrongful death case for our family. Ed was accessible, open to our input and a voice of reason through a protracted case which ended up being intertwined with a horribly managed criminal prosecution. Ed was there for us at every step to balance our objectives of seeking justice and holding other parties accountable in whatever manner we could. I never once felt that Ed's interests were anything other than aligned with my families.

My wife set me up for an consult with John as well as several other lawyers. I didn't have plans on hiring him on the spot to handle my probate case. But John was so knowledgeable and straight forward I decided to forgo any other appointments. Once the case is concluded I will review again but so far I am very impressed with his professionalism.

I came to Mr. Greiner requesting his legal services in my land use case. I have yet to come across a more knowledgable, more professional, and more competent lawyer (and that's saying something). However, what stuck out the most was the moral character and down-to-earth nature that is so often lost in this business. He was intelligent but not pretentious, professional but not stoic, and personable but quite competent. He was able to settle for more than I had ever considered, and did so in quite a timely fashion. He has consistently been one of New York's "Best Lawyers" since 2008.
