Dan Smyth is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. He walked me through the whole process and explained everything I needed to know in detail. He took his time and I was able to contact him whenever I needed. Dan went above and beyond and I felt he was truly genuine and honest. I would highly recommend him and his firm to my family and friends.

01 Aug, 2024 by Chris jennings

Dan & his team were absolutely amazing. Couldn't have asked for better representation. The communication was great, they answered any questions or concerns I had. I felt that they actually cared about me as a person rather than just a client. In terms of my case, they blew my expectations away. Highly recommend !!!

Dan Smyth is an incredible person and lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law, but his commitment to his clients is what sets him apart. He helped me through a confusing and complicated time, and I felt better knowing Dan was there to help me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Sutton and Smyth.

I’m so grateful to have found Larry. He secured us a 7 figure settlement when no other lawyer would even take our case. It was an extremely sensitive and difficult matter to discuss but he helped us through it with great compassion. I’m so grateful for his expertise and professionalism. And I don’t think anyone could have fought harder for us

05 Dec, 2023 by Stephen

I recently had the experience of working with Larry on a medical malpractice case, and I must say, he exceeded all my expectations. Finding a good lawyer can be daunting, but Larry made the process much more manageable. One of the things I appreciated most about Larry was his communication. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and he made sure I understood each step of the legal process. Larry was able to break down complex legal and medical jargon into terms I could understand. His professionalism in handling my case was evident from the start. He was thorough in his investigation and left no stone unturned. He also understood the emotional and physical toll the situation had taken on me and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. I highly recommend this attorney!

When my dad passed away unexpectedly due to a wrongful death. I was so lost and my heart felt so heavy and painful. I kept on saying to myself that my dad will still be alive if this is not a wrongful death. Then I decided to go online to search and browse for malpractice attorneys to fight for justice. I have attorneys turned me away or by speaking to them on the phone, they make me feel very uncomfortable and more lost. Finally and luckily I found Mr. Larry Deutsch, just by talking to him on the phone for the first time, he made me feel so comfortable and understand what we be going on for a wrongful death case. Mr. Deutsch was knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, courteous, patient, kind and most importantly, transparent and managed our expectations. When we had questions, he will made sure himself available to answer in person or over the phone. He kept my family and I informed and understand through the entire process. It was a long process, but Mr. Deutsch's work helped us obtain justice for my dad’s wrongful death and a settlement. On behalf of my family, I will highly recommend Mr. Deutsch. Also Mr. Deutsch and his office were a pleasure to deal with during an overwhelming process. Thank you for your service and I would recommend him highly.

Do yourself a favor and hire this firm. Not only was Joseph a great attorney, but he took the time to actually talk to me about the case, the options and gave great advice. I hope we'll never need him again, but it's great to know he's around if we do. I cannot recommend him enough.

I came to Kym through a referral, and all of the great things I heard about her couldn’t have been more true. Kym was able to help me navigate a situation regarding lack of payment for work that I had rendered for another business. Kym explained all of my options thoroughly and at a pace that allowed me to fully comprehend the situation from a legal perspective. When dealing with the other party’s attorney, the professionalism she exhibited was truly remarkable. Multiple situations arose where the other attorney was out of line, and instead of becoming frustrated and “stooping to their level,” Kym remained calm and collected and took care of business as a professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kym’s services to anyone, and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future for all of my business needs.

24 Jun, 2024 by Awilda

Kym, recently helped me create a great client contract for my business making sure I am protected. She is not only a great lawyer, but also a woman mom entrepreneur who understands our businesses. During our initial phone consult, we were on the phone for over an hour like we had known each other for years. She made me feel comfortable and explained what I needed in detail without it seeming overwhelming which so much of starting a small business is. If you are looking for someone who has your back and also understands you on a personal level, she is your girl. #kymismylawyer

Kymberly recently assisted me in reviewing a separation agreement with my company and provided clear, thorough, and insightful advice. Her knowledge and attention to detail ensured that my interests were well-protected. If you need an employment lawyer who is knowledgeable and supportive, Kymberly is an excellent choice.

Eli Moore handled our case from start to finish professionally. This took the burden from our family knowing the case was in good hands. It was my first time to hire a lawyer and I’m happy to say that it was a relief to hand over the details to a professional rather than trying to handle ourselves. Would definitely recommend Eli.

At first I was very worried that there was no hope for my case or situation. But without fail John has been there every step of the way with me easing my anxiety and reassuring me that he’ll get the best outcome. He’s kind and patient and has taken his time to explain every detail of the case and the defense. He even had a meeting with family members to dismiss their worry. He was very caring and took my case seriously and although I doubted that the case could get dismissed he made that happen. My case was completely dismissed and I could not be more grateful for the work and time Mr. Cromwell has put into this. I had a DUI case that was dismissed. If your looking for a great lawyer to do what’s in your best interest always this is the guy.

17 May, 2019 by Reuben

He was always on time, sharp and comfortable in the courtroom. I recommend John for any one looking for justice.

27 Apr, 2018 by Anonymous

After being arrest for a criminal offense and finding myself in a situation that could effect my entire future, I went ahead with the grueling task of having to find legal representation. I went through a few consultations with other lawyers but I felt extremely confident and at ease with Mr. Cromwell throughout the whole process of my case. He keeps a very calm and kind demeanor. This truly helped with my level of stress and anxiety I was going through. Never once did I feel as if he was judging me. He answered my text and calls in a very timely manner and was always available to answer any questions I had. While in court I can see the other attorneys in the room come to him to seek his advice. He got me the best possible outcome and he gave me back my life!! For which I am truly grateful. I recommend John M. Cromwell to anyone that needs a knowledgeable and professional criminal attorney that gets the job done. Thank you John!

Allyson Lanahan was incredibly helpful to us while we were buying our house. She was extremely responsive to our emails and was always happy and eager to hop on a call when we had questions. From the day we found our house to the day of the closing Allyson was there every step of the way, guiding us through the months of paperwork and steps needed.

31 Dec, 2020 by Jeffrey

We couldn't have asked for a more professional and helpful attorney. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were stunned and overwhelmed by all of the legal steps and administrative hurdles involved in getting an accepted offer and then closing. Allyson guided us through each step and did a lot of hand-holding along the way. She was incredibly responsive - to calls, emails, texts, etc. - and was happy to answer even the most basic questions that came to mind. Even when we were slammed with work and unable to respond quickly to her inquiries, she managed to keep the ball rolling. Where she really shined, though, was during the actual closing. She was by far the most knowledgeable, professional, and well-prepared person in the room and her attention to detail (which my wife is particularly attuned to) was amazing. Buying a home is an emotional process, but it made SUCH a difference to have someone in our corner that we could trust 100% and that we truly enjoyed working with.

03 Dec, 2020 by Joe

Allyson did an excellent job at stewarding us through the purchase of our first home. Along the way we faced challenges in navigating an extensive portfolio of COIs due to various extensions and renovations that had been conducted on the property by the sellers over a period of 20-30 years. In addition to explaining all of the contractual, title, closing and escrow considerations associated with the real estate transaction, Allyson helped us gain comfort with the legalities of all renovations and extensions on the property as well as the status of all permits. Allyson delivered significant value during the purchase of our home and I would recommend her to others.

Attorney Babcock seamlessly guided me every step of the way through a two year legal process with white glove service. Ben provided consistent and timely updates, minimizing my involvement on a day to day basis so I could remain focused on my own career. Relying on his depth of experience, Ben shoots straight in relation to predicted outcomes. He respected and listened to my input when required putting me at ease in making informed decisions along the way. Hats off to Ben and his staff for a job well done!

27 Apr, 2017 by Maureen

Ben Babcock was part of a team that represented me in a case that lasted almost a year. The case was resolved very satisfactorily -- due in no small part to the smart and diligent way in which Ben researched the case and then assembled and managed the relevant documentation. Ben asked me careful questions and listened, if possible, even more carefully to my answers. In his calm and thoughtful manner, Ben took me through some very difficult material--clarifying and substantiating facts of the case from my point of view and finding corroborating information that I would not have imagined possible to discover. I was very impressed.and could not have been more pleased with the work he did.

23 Jun, 2016 by Nancy

Ben was hired to help me resolve a difficult, personal situation. He listened carefully to my situation and offered excellent advise. Ben was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He responded to all my questions in a timely manner. With Ben's expertise, I received the outcome I was looking for. I would highly recommend Ben Babcock to anyone that needs a highly skilled attorney.

Veronica Mandel, is an incredible family lawyer who deeply cares and connects with you. Veronica, helped to to get my life back my children. She fearlessly represented when my ex wife alleged a bogus domestic violence against me just for the sake of getting an apartment in NYC. She helped me get back my children and dismissed all the cases of bogus domestic violence. I would highly recommend Veronica for anyone who looking for a fearless, caring and competent lawyer.

22 Aug, 2017 by Liamson

I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is so attentive and assertive in what she does and takes her job very serious. During my custody case, my son was being majorly abused being in the company of his mother and her associates. The home was a very negative environment and toxic to my son and the custody case was only brought about because of his constant running away from home and ending up at my doorstep. I had no experience in the transitional phase of obtaining custody but Mrs. Mandel made it so easy for me. So easy that on the first court appearance Veronica was so prepared and was so determined, I got temporary custody of my son on the first go!! As a dad I didn't think it was possible that quickly. It brought me to tears. She even took the time out to make calls whether it was 4 in the afternoon or 10, 11, 0r 12 midnight to check up on me and make sure everything was ok with me and my sons transition. She has a beautiful soul and never backed down to anything in court that was thrown at her. I felt so protected by her will to make sure my son remained in safe environment. She made sure I knew my court dates, made sure i brought the proper documents to court and never ever made me feel I was alone in this fight. My son had it rough in the beginning but after her advice to seek therapy for him, 5 years later he's doing extremely well. I can't thank her enough for what type of impact she's had on me and my son's life. She's a game changer and I love her to death!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Leslie represented us for a very complicated sale of our Co-op. The Co-op's attorney is notoriously difficult, going radio silent for weeks and then popping up with a last-minute need. Leslie stayed on top of them and helped make sure we handled any needs immediately to prevent the process from being delayed any further. She helped mitigate the headaches of the process extremely well. There was even an 11th hour issue with the co-op's attorney not having any checks left at the time of our closing, and she worked with the buyer's attorney to resolve the issue without impacting us further. I could not recommend her more highly and without any reservations. You will not be disappointed using Leslie and her office.

10 Jan, 2023 by Barie

Leslie helped my husband and I with our closing and even afterward when we had continued issues with the seller. She was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, communicative, and went above and beyond after the closing to make sure all of the issues we had with the seller and seller’s attorney were resolved. My sister and her husband used her as well and were equally as impressed. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again!!

05 Mar, 2020 by Becky

Leslie helped us throughout the real estate purchase process, from offer through closing, and even post-closing. She added important provisions to our contract. She was also a guiding hand to us throughout the whole process. Our transaction involved title issues and she navigated all of them skillfully. Leslie was so thorough and helpful. We highly recommend her for any real property transactions in the Westchester area. Our transaction was successful as a direct result of all her hard work. She is the ideal real estate attorney.

John Pettiness is a great attorney, not only is he a great attorney he truly cares about his clients and their case. When I first meet Mr. Pettiness I saw in His eyes that he cared. I was really afraid I never in my life have been arrested before didn't know what to expect but John was there for me not only as an attorney but a psychologist and a dear friend. This case was huge I had an altercation with an NYPD Detective I knew my life and my family's life could have been destroyed if I was found guilty but Mr. Pettiness kept fighting for me and my family and wouldn't take No!! for an answer when I wanted to give up and had no more fight in me . I saw the fire in his eyes to keep pushing and A year and a few months later my case was threw out. My family is truly grateful for Mr. Pettiness. If you are looking for Justice in your Criminal case Call John Pettiness . He will fight to the end.

Great Experience, Great Outcome - Fought for my case and did not settle until I received the positive outcome John promised, John was there to council me and advise me on my case. He gave me a full layout of the possible positive and negative outcomes I could face (without scarring me to death.) He then offered his opinion based on his extensive understanding of the court system of what he expects to happen. As for trustworthyness, I think the fact that he made aware of the retainer cost, what it covers and after extensive hearings, he stayed tru to the original retainer amount and got the result he initially envisioned. So in other word, There was no discrepency, additional charges or misunderstandings - I got exactly what I paid for and more. I referred John to someone who was facing a more serious crime. I reached out to him at 10:00pm on a Tuesday. He was at the courthouse by mid-night to council the person in need, was there the next day an next day until he got released. His charges were originally very serious, but John was able to reduce the charges to a very ideal and minor charge. Bottom line is John is a man of his word, with a proven track record. HIghy recommended.

In most cases, in the professional world, one cannot find many professionals willing to train an emerging professional while they are going about their high volume tasks. However, Mr. Weitzman was more than willing when I was a young secretary in need of entry level experience. I merely sat in for his secretary for a few weeks while she was on a much needed vacation. He was very patient and gracious. I thank him for allowing me the opportunity. He left a lasting impression on me. The memory has carried me for the last 18 years of my professional development. He is one of the first professionals that made me eager to mature into my own professional sophistication. Thank You Mr. Weitzman Esq. for not making me ashamed of being a beginner; that helped empower my confidence.

07 Aug, 2012 by Pw

I was referred to Mr. Weitzman after being handled by a large NYC law firm for over two years. They were expensive, non-responsive and in the end I questioned their integrity. Weitzman accepted my case after careful review. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, he kept me informed and he worked hard on my behalf. I have never once questioned his integrity it's clear and obvious. I respect him and would recommend him to anyone. If he takes a case he will give it his all.

Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
