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

Alvin is always there when you need him, morning noon and night, even before the advent of cell phones. He's an experienced developer's lawyers as well as an expert on the financing side. They don't make many Alvin Sarters anymore. Too bad he stopped practicing law and wenty over to the business side. His colleagues miss him terribly.

Sarter is an aggressive adversary for his client but knows what's fair and what's not--as my lawyer for many years he has been my go-to person on all business matters, not only in his specialty of real estate law. Since he went to the business side several years ago to pursue new challenges, I miss him terribly.

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.

Nick was my attorney me through the purchase process of my very first New York City apartment! The process took about 5 months, and we had to navigate a lot of ups and downs and curveballs. Throughout it all Nick successfully advocated for me and represented me in all situations. We had a few issues with the sellers, but thankfully I was able to rely on Nick, and we were successful in overcoming those issues due to Nick’s perseverance and advocacy. I highly recommend Nick’s services as an attorney!

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.

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.

the furthest thing from my mind was having to use a lawyer!, how ever there is a first time for everything, My Land Lord was giving me such a issue, regarding fixing things in my apartment. worst part , I was getting sick often and couldn't figure out why?! I contacted Mr. Iannace because my landlord was harassing me and calling my place of employment for withholding rent which was due to unfixed things in the apartment. I had so many questions, Concerns. Mr Iannace answered all of my questions, went over what my best options were as far as the harassment went. None of my phone calls or emails went unanswered! I felt at ease for a time period that I thought I would crack under pressure. Mr Iannace is the absolute best

Keith is an outstanding attorney. I cant thank him enough for his attention to detail. Keith picked up some major issues (drainage easements) on the lot on a title survey during the contract review that were not addressed during the home inspection. He really is committed and dedicated to the interests of his clients and not simply there to "close the deal"

Our company hired Mr. Sanchala to assist in a complex Labor Department investigation. The case could have harmed our business in a substantial way. Tejash worked with our team in a professional manner and was able to resolve the case positively. We are very happy with Tejash's work and would recommend him to others.
