If I could give 6 stars I absolutely would. Kyran was not only quick to keep in contact but he explained my situation and the steps I needed to take in perfect detail, let me know everything that I needed to prepare for a trial, was extremely educated and works on it almost as if it were his own case. Out of any of the public defenders I’ve had so far, he has been the best, assisting me in gaining an order of protection against my prior abuser.

“I had the privilege of working with Elizabeth on a complex financial matter, and her expertise was truly exceptional. Not only did she demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the necessary legal processes, but she also provided invaluable guidance throughout every step. What sets her apart is her ability to listen attentively and connect with my team in a compassionate yet highly skilled manner. Her dedication, insight, and empathetic approach made a significant difference in achieving a successful outcome. I highly recommend her for any financial legal needs.”

Lisa helped me with a debacle that started when I changed my name at the age of 18 in 1979. I had zero paperwork from that name change, but I needed to prove who I was in order to get a new Real ID Driver's License.
It seemed like an impossible feat, but Lisa was able to turn it into a smooth operation. Since I'm in TX, she did all the leg work for me in NY/NJ. Managed to get my actual birth certificate and the paperwork needed to prove my name change.
I literally could not have done this without her!

What stood out most was their clear communication and dedication. They took the time to explain all my options, kept me informed every step of the way, and ultimately achieved an outcome far better than I expected.

Scott has been kind and thorough. I was in a car accident that was not my fault and injured for the rest of my life. I can't even do the work I once did and am still trying to figure out finances. NYS is a no fault state, so I have really been struggling . I called Scott and he took my case. When this first happened, I called a big firm but they wouldn't help (not enough money it it for them). Scott won monies for me that I would not have had otherwise and he it helps me so much - thank you, Scott!!!

This law firm, like many others, advertises that they handle a wide variety of legal matters, but when contacted about the legal matters they allegedly handle, waste the time of the potential customer by cherry picking a claim only if its a home run case. In short, false advertising, and probably no experience with the subject matter to begin with. This is basically the legal version of fishing in a bucket.

Andrew Deluca is easily the best defense attorney in upstate New York, he will get you the best results possible, he has been my attorney for years and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a respected, professional, knowledgeable, top tier lawyer. If you are facing charges or dealing with other criminal, traffic or personal injury matters, he is unquestionably the best lawyer you could possibly find. You will not be disappointed if choosing Andrew Deluca as your attorney, all of these positive reviews that you see are 100% true.

Andrew is the greatest Attorney around, it’s as simple as that. I had an on going probation situation for a few years that was caused by a prior attorney. When I had first explained the situation to Andrew in his office he casually said, “yea I wouldn’t have had you agree to that”. In one afternoon meeting a huge weight was lifted. I am now out of that nightmare, and that part of my life is forever in the past. The weight Andrew easily removed is hard to put into words. If you need an attorney who will make you feel validated, great to talk to, and will get the job done seamlessly. This man is the only option!

When I went looking for a lawyer and I stumbled upon Andrew Deluca I was sure to pick him just based on his reviews. But now after working with him I would pick him to represent me in any case that I had. From the first phone call to the last he made sure to keep me in loop and my anxiety at ease. His prices are fair, and he is very easy to get ahold of and meet up with. We got the best possible outcome for my situation and he was so kind and compassionate throughout the entire process. I can now live with the outcome of my case and move on in a way that doesn't impact my life negatively. Andrew is a kind and genuine person who listens to people from all walks of life without judgement. God bless him.

I hired this firm to represent me. They took a substantial amount of money from me, misrepresented me, made me pay the very individuals that I was suing, although I won.
I have read the reply, however, I have PLENTY of documentation to show otherwise. Why is it that your offices can't find record of it? Thomas DiNovo was the main representative. I can show you the massive documentation. This seems very odd,as I have already found evidence of records being changed and I have suffered acts of terrorism. I am unsure if these are connected, however, it is definitely something that sounds like it should be investigated.
I have made many government agencies aware of the horrific crimes that have been occurring.
My address is the same as in the documentation last sent to me by your office. My phone number has changed. As I do not trust anyone at this point,a registered letter would be acceptable

I've had a delightful experience with Mr Edward J. Martin, Esq. and his assistant Luisa Colarossi. They helped me tremendously with estate planning, after the death of my husband. They took time to, not only answer questions, but to give me a wide range of options that I did not know were available. Another wonderful surprise was their prompt response to emails I sent. I highly recommend their services! You won't be disappointed!!!

I gave this firm 5 stars because that was the highest option available, they deserve 10. Theresa and Karen are truly wonderful and go above and beyond for their clients. My family has had multiple stellar experiences with these ladies which is why I chose to deal with them, my personal experiences with them is more than I could have hoped for. While handling the estate of my dad after his unexpected passing, there was so much to do and I had no idea where to start. I wasn't even sure how to become the legal executor to begin handling his affairs, never mind dealing with his portion of my deceased grandmothers estate or his home, vehicles, debts, insurance ect. These incredible ladies took my over whelming feelings of uncertainty and fear and gave me confidence and peace knowing everything was being taken care of. I've called and emailed more times than I can count inquiring about anything and everything and the response is always quick, clear and delivered with a happiness to help.
I can't say enough how amazing this firm is to deal with. They don't treat you like you're just another job, they truly care about their clients and that's something that is rare and priceless.

Erin did a fabulous job of helping secure our purchase of our new home after the seller wanted to back out just before our closing date. She took steps necessary to get us back on the closing track, and saw us through until keys were in our hands. We were, and are still very grateful for her work and effort in our difficult closing situation.

Once I hired Erin as my divorce attorney it took 9 months! (previous attorney could not close the case, took 31 months total). Erin is a passionate and detailed attorney. She analyzed and took time to research all the history in my case. She advised on a plan and was very informative on next steps. She was also upfront with costs. She entered my case 22 months in as if she was the attorney from the beginning. She didn't take any nonsense from the opposing attorney (whom was difficult, slow to respond, caused unnecessary friction). I have already recommended Erin to others.

A good lawyer in getting my case resolved quickly through settlement. I brought in this firm in after another firm, outside of the venue in which I had civil action, took full advantage of making as much as they could in discovery. Thankfully this firm came in with little to do other than show up in court a few times and work out a settlement. I was encouraged from the onset to settle, which I found to be fair and ethical, particularly given how it had been previously handled.. Jim did a stellar job in working it out. I was given a last-minute bill via a crude email without any details, to the sum of five figures in the final hours of our settlement. After numerous requests for an itemized invoice with hours spent, phone calls, emails, etc., I finally received an one, but it was not itemized. While I will never truly know what I paid for (I like knowing exactly where my money goes), altogether the outcome was good and I have no other complaints.
