Great lawyer. I mistakes on the road and I don’t have the time to go in and appear, he appears for me does his thing and no points on my license. Fair rates. Randomly found Mr. Trodden after doing a Google search years ago. Was a great find. One time he couldn’t make it sent another guy. The other guy worked the case to my liking as well. Simply a good lawyer, good firm. You can choose the one. Five stars.

He was straightforward, honest and responsive which was very comforting given my lack of experience in dealing with aggressive collections proceedings. His knowledge spans the legal spectrum and I plan to tap his expertise for future legal matters around real estate, estate planning, small business needs and anything that might pop up along the way!

I recently had the pleasure and privilege of retaining The Law Office of Kerie P Stone to represent me with my Social Security Disability case. Kerie has gone above and beyond to provide guidance, support, dedication and caring through this most difficult process. During the initial consultation Kerie is very thorough and explains everything in detail. Kerie never rushes through the interview and spends as much time as needed to explain the process. Kerie demonstrated exceptional legal skills and achieved an outstanding result in my case whereby I was approved. The process with the SSA is complicated and lengthy but I was well-represented and thoroughly supported throughout the legal process. Kerie was always available day or night, whether by phone or email to answer my questions and concerns, providing clear explanations throughout the process and putting me at ease. Her staff is equally very helpful and goes above and beyond. Kerie responds within minutes with solutions during the process. Kerie contacted me frequently to advise me of any issues and how she would address the issues. Kerie previously worked for the Social Security Administration where she developed extensive expertise and knowledge with disability cases. Kerie is dedicated, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. I can’t stress enough about the professionalism, caring, support and professionalism Kerie and her Law firm provided to me. I highly recommend The Law Office of Kerie P Stone to anyone seeking representation with all types of Social Security Disability. If you are looking for the best SSA Disability attorney stop right here and call Kerie Stone. I am fortunate and grateful to have such an exceptional attorney. Kerie is second to none. Thank You Very Much.

Attorney Garcia and her staff took the time to speak with me in her office to analyse me, my history, my goals and then the law firm suggested a course of action that has now helped me to help my husband become a Resident aftr many many years of others telling us that it was impossible. Judith Garcia was a God send as was her staff. Thank you so much for your work on our behalf.

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional assistance I received from Lieb at Law. As a first-generation college graduate without extensive social connections, finding the right lawyer was a challenging task. From the moment I reached out, Andrew Lieb at Lieb at Law welcomed me, expressing a genuine commitment to help a fellow Smithtown friend. Navigating my case, which involved the recognition and defense of mental and emotional health under disability rights in housing issues - was no easy feat. Many lawyers hesitated to take on my case due to its complexities and it being a grey area still. However, Lieb at Law not only accepted the challenge, but provided clear and confident guidance throughout the entire process. Natalie Donaldson and the entire team at Lieb at Law supported me diligently over the course of more than a year, demonstrating patience. Although my case may be small in their overall operations, the impact on my life was profound. I am sincerely thankful for their unwavering support and commitment to my case. For anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable legal assistance, I highly recommend Lieb at Law.

I had a 6 point ticket and Ron Cook got this down to zero points. That saved me over $300 right there alone because the DMV would have assessed a fee of $300+ due to the points. Also, by getting the points to zero, this prevented my insurance rates from going up. Hire this lawyer. His fees are reasonable and the results are superior.

When our mom relocated to Florida, we contacted a Florida attorney to have the appropriate legal documents in place. However, over the years her health met with assorted challenges. A bout of protracted health issues transpired and the decision was made to return her to New York. We soon realized that Florida estate planning documents may not be easily utilized in New York State. It became abundantly clear that New York documents were necessary. Through an excellent referral, we met with Aaron Futterman, Esq of Futterman, Lanza and Pasculli. The firm being dually admitted in New York and Florida was more than capable to bridge the two states and assist our mom and family. A short time frame for completion was evident to get the documents finalized. Mr. Futterman was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and accessible to answer all our concerns and questions. His years of experience and ability to dissect, analyze and find resolution to complex matters proved to be an added benefit. At one time, our mom was unable to visit him at his office and he actually met her at her residence. Mr. Futterman’s calming, assuring demeanor with a splash of humor was comforting to my elderly mom. Having dealt with other attorneys, we can absolutely state that Mr. Futterman is an exemplary attorney. The staff at Futterman, Lanza and Pasculli were all equally accommodating. We are so glad to have met and worked with him and will absolutely continue to do so as the need arises.

When faced with the most challenging and confusing financial crisis facing our family, Mr. Futterman, and his associates provided us with excellent advice and assistance. Having a family member in need of medical care is stressful. Thankfully, Mr. Futterman was there to guide us through the legal maze of Medicare and Medicaid. We will be eternally grateful for his kindness, patience and knowledge. Anyone needing this type of legal assistance would definitely benefit from consulting with this firm. Mr. Futterman, literally, saved our family from serious financial jeopardy. Thank you!

I highly recommend Jeanette Grabie, Esq. & staff. She and her staff are very knowledgeable and were miracle workers to assist me in a very short time to make sure my loved one's funds were protected. She & her staff had to expedite everything as my original attorney failed to do his job. If I could give ten stars I would. They are very pleasant to work with too!

Michael took the time to sit with my husband and I to discuss our personal situation and explain how best to create an estate plan that would benefit our family and children. He clearly answered our questions and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. When it came time for our family to upgrade to a new home, we undoubtedly called Michael J. Brescia, P.C. to handle both our home sale and new home purchase. He is straightforward and honest and we are so happy we have an attorney we can turn to going forward.

Cheryl got the job done quicker and efficiently. I was shocked at her results, usually lawyers drag things out. Not Cheryl quick and no need to go to court and got very satisfactory results. More attorneys should work like she does and the system would not be so broken.

Cheryl’s expertise, professionalism, guidance and support saw me through a very troubling bodily injury claim. Her involvement in my case garnered a significant settlement which would not have been possible otherwise. She explained the laws, offered knowledgeable advice and was very reassuring throughout the whole process. Cheryl is an amazing lawyer who I highly recommend to anyone seeking sound legal advice. Thank you Cheryl!

The Law Firm of Stein and Stein have represented me. They are compassionate attorneys who are professional, knowledgeable, and qualified to handle anything. There are actions that can alter your life. These can be good or bad. If these decisions are bad, an attorney who can defend and communicate on your behalf is a necessity. I have needed legal counsel and representation. That is how I know that when I refer them, I am doing my friends a favor.

I was referred to Barrie Bazarsky last year following injuries from a rear-end highway collision. My experience with Barrie and her associate Diane Ford has redefined my conception of what "excellent" representation looks like, raising this bar for the legal profession to a new standard. Barrie is fierce, compassionate and perseverant in her follow-up; Diane is simply wonderful, dedicating her knowledge and diligence to my case from day one. For anyone enduring a continuous cycle of medical/PT appointments, these traits deliver the kind of value that cannot be overstated. To Futterman Lanza & Pasculli, well done on maintaining such exceptional staff... And to Barrie and Diane, thank you both for being exceptional.

Barrie Bazarsky is the best personal injury attorney out there. Barrie is professional, thoughtful, compassionate, and produces results. Barrie took my case and supported me when other personal injury attorneys would not, and was able to provide me with peace of mind throughout the entire process and an appropriate settlement to back it up. I fully endorse Barry Bazarsky and would recommend her to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

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.
