Alex Yadgarov & Associates have done an impeccable job with my case. It is stressful enough suffering pain secondary to a motor vehicle accident. Alex and his very knowledgeable team made the entire process easy and painless. Which is why I am glad I dropped my previous personal injury attorney and switched to Alex Yadgarov & Associates. Alex and his paralegal, Michael, were available to speak with me anytime I called. Will certainty recommend to friends and family.

I would rate this firm less than a one. They suck and are so unprofessional. I never seen such incopiticy in my life. I had to drive her around to my cases and every time she forgot some documents. Not sure why this firm is still in business. Charmaine Stewart the proprietor should be locked up or not licensed in NY to practice.

I made the mistake of going to this practice years ago and ended up having to take her to court because she was so unprofessional. They never returned calls in a timely manner and I was overall unsatisfied with her competency. Would definitely not recommend this legal office. Bad.

This attorney has a very bad professional behavior and very poor communication skills, this same attorney try to call me while I was attending event could not identify the caller which happen to be her.
when I called back this same number that called me no one answered.
next time she call my phone went to voicemail because I was sleep. each time she calls it is always late 8 - 10 pm I start work two or three times a week for overtime @ 4am. when she did get me on the phone she cursed me out. not aware that I presantly have a parent going thru cancer I am assisting with financialy for expensive pain medication and trying to manage my own life. Simple solution email or text would be most appropiate if you can't reach me by phone or U.S. mail.
