I was very impressed with Mr. Greenberg's services. I was unfamiliar with the New Jersey real estate process which is much different than that in Pennsylvania where I conduct my small real estate business. Mr. Greenberg handled the negotiations and contract modifications skillfully and with just the right amount of input from me. He was very familiar with the negotiating style of the buyer and was firm but compromising when necessary. All in all, an excellent lawyer. And I have dealt with many. I can recommend him highly. And by the way, he is very pleasant and personable. I would respond to emails if anyone has any questions.

Paul represented us right from the start of our real estate transaction. He really looked out for us during the course of the entire process. He clearly went over each of the clauses and explained elaborately. His expertise and professionalism throughout our transaction is very much appreciated. I recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for an attorney who looks out for his clients. For Paul, it wasn't just another real estate transaction. He fought for us and ensured our interests were on top of the list. We were very happy with the services we received. Everything was explained before hand and we had complete clarity about the process as it went through, Paul did an excellent job in keeping track of the deadlines and was constantly in touch with us to ensure we were in compliance with the contract. As our attorney he represented us extremely well during the course of this transaction and we will be using him whenever and where ever we require his services

We recently worked with James for a re-adoption case in Suffolk county. I am so happy to say that his professionalism and care were beyond any expectations. He handled our case in the mist of the COViD pandemic and with the courts not working and hardly responding, he was still able to keep our case going and finalized in a few month. He made everything easy and straight forward. His fee was extremely reasonable considering we only had to provide him with the required paperwork and he took care of absolutely everything else. I could see his genuine care for our family, his empathy and excitement as we finalized the re-adoption process. I heard his concerns about some of his other cases delayed because of COVID and I could easily spot the genuine care. My family recommends him warmly. Thank you!

I hired James Greenberg for an adult adoption. After consulting with a few lawyers James was the only one that not only understood what I was trying to accomplish but had experience with the process. He is always there to answer any questions and does his best to explain the process and expected timelines. Once all the information was given to James he took care of everything and called with periodic updates on where we were in the process and what to expect next. The entire process went very smoothly with James heading off or taking care of any problems that arose. If you want your adoption done properly, painlessly and smoothly he is really the only choice in my opinion.

James Greenberg is our favorite lawyer EVER! He is truly a special human being who was there for us every step of the way in the adoption of our wonderful child. Every time we visited with him, he devoted all of his attention and resources to our needs and desires. The most wonderful part was being able to call him and have him answer the phone almost every time, and when he couldn’t, he called us back very promptly. Jaime is someone you feel that you can talk to about absolutely anything, and we highly recommend him to anyone going on the adoption journey. Unfortunately, there are many organizations that take advantage of adoptive parents, but we always felt that Greenberg & Greenberg was very reasonable with the pricing of their services and focused more on supporting us through the journey. THANKS JAIME!

I have used Attorney Zevin twice with wonderful results each time. I live in a condominium complex where the numbers can be confusing since there are numbers and letters. A condominium with the same number as mine, but a different letter, is in foreclosure, while mine is paid for. However, I continually received correspondence and papers served as if I were the owner of the condo in foreclosure. Attorney Zevin promply issued a cease and desist order to the firm in question and the matter was quickly resolved; I had been unable to do it myself. Secondarily, Attorney Zevin is an expert in the music industry, having composed music in his early life. He represented me exceptionally well in a contract investing in a popular singer. His knowledge of the industry is amazing. Thank you so much, Attorney Zevin.

Ken helped us through the mortgage, board , and insurance process for our coop in Bayside. He made everything seamless and explained everything in great detail so that we were always on the same page with our lender and the coop management/board. He took a personal interest in the process and made sure we were always up to date with any needs of the coop and our lender in order to close. As young first time home buyers we needed all the help we could get and Ken exceeded all expectations, going out of his way to make sure we were legally protected and felt comfortable throughout the whole process. I recommend him highly and the only regret is that we didn't come to him directly with for the loan! Not only is he hysterical and a pleasure to deal with but he took no nonsense from any party involved including us, making closing as painless as possible. As young and clueless,first time home buyers, Ken's services and communication skills are priceless.

I found Mr. Lidowsky online after my dentist hastily without any preparation put in a dental implant that was the incorrect size, and at the wrong angle, without forming any sort of treatment plan or taking any 3D scans, leading to a very unaesthetic result that is extremely difficult to fix. The dentist refused to perform further work or refund any money to fix the tooth, and so in desperation I called Mr. Lidowsky, after at least one other lawyer told me there was nothing to be done about it. Mr. Lidowsky asked me to tell my story and he decided to take the case. As a result of his expertise in the area, he was able to point out the treatment mistakes that had been made, and I received a sizeable settlement to get my tooth fixed. Thank you, Mr. Lidowsky! He is absolutely the best at what he does, extremely knowledgeable about dental work, and wonderful to work with. HIGHLY recommend. If he agrees to take your case after hearing the details, you can feel very good about your odds of being treated fairly.

Nancy Peters charged thousand of dollars for what she claimed as three drafts of divorce settlement. However, we were not asked, never approved preparing any draft, and never received any draft, except the only one draft we received in the end of the so-called “mediation”. Nancy and Gary Peters (see my comment in this site under his name) dishonest bill, about bogus extra two drafts, and other "extras", helped them to inflate their bill and charge top dollars. In fact, Nancy Peters wrote notes every session -- to the most part this was her only paid role during the “mediation”. The only draft we received consists of just few pages of their own with few simple calculations. As to the draft itself, they neglected to add to it important issues which we agreed upon. I was led by these “mediators” to believe that they would care for all matters in relation to preparing a settlement. However, when coming to what agreed in advance as the last meeting, they noted in the draft a crucial subject as “unknown”. They never contacted us to ask for the "unknown", and did not turn to an expert in order to answer the matter in question. It could be a loss of tens of thousands of dollars for me. This is only one example of unprofessional and uncaring "mediation". Had I finalized an agreement with them, I could have lost up to $150.000 and ruin my future. They have no clue what mediation is. Luckily, shortly after I terminated their service, I found a skilled attorney who prepared a fair and balanced agreement.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  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.
