Sara Meyer did a great job preparing our estate planning documents - most importantly advising us on their ramifications. She was able to explain things clearly and respond to our questions. Very professional, pleasant, and cordial - we highly recommend her and the firm.

My husband and I were very pleased with the service we received at Futterman, Lanza & Pasculli, LLP. Christine Shiebler, Esq. explained each legal document clearly so that we fully understood the significance of each document. She patiently answered all of our questions in language a lay person could comprehend. We also found the support staff to be very helpful. We would highly recommend Christine Shiebler, Esq.

I called Phil’s office years ago on a Sunday morning when I was in a vulnerable place. I was surprised when Mr. Jusino called back a few minutes later that same Sunday, he introduced himself and explained how he could help. His staff is lovely and caring. When speaking to his staff you don’t feel like a client you feel like you’re talking to a caring friend especially Jolene she’s a doll. He has been a voice of reason and support the last few years and myself and my family are thankful for him. He is willing to go to battle for his clients in a professional and ethical manner. He does his best to settle cases if possible.
He communicates in a timely fashion even if that means taking a call from his home or when he’s on the road.
I would highly recommend Phil and his team!

Steven Siliato and his team at Lieb at Law helped making the sale of my mother’s home as pain free as they could. Losing a parent isn’t easy, especially suddenly without a will and now a home to sell. Steven and his team took the time to answer any questions, regardless of how trivial or silly the may be, offered sound advice, and took the necessary steps to make the transaction as stress free and smooth as possible. The expertise and value they provided in this process was tremendous and I’d highly recommend any friend or family member to utilize their services in the future.

I had a problem with a bogus outstanding lien that was preventing us from being able to close a real estate transaction on behalf of my parents' Estate. Billy Skulikidis came to my rescue! He reviewed all the information provided, asked a few questions and came up with a solution that should have successfully terminated the lien. When my termination filing was rejected by the County Clerk's Office, Billy followed up with the attorney there that same day. He then forwarded the parts of the law that supported his position. Ultimately, the County attorney agreed to accept the termination filing Billy had prepared for me and the lien has now been cleared.
We are now scheduled for closing. Great job by Billy and so much appreciated!

Save yourself from steve the worst unresponsive lawyer on long Island. I was hardly contacted the entire time of the sale and purchase of my houses. We had to call him every step on the way asking what we needed to do for the next step, this guy barely returned a phonecall the same day, sometimes taking even multiple days. From not involving myself in an email chain to keep me updated with what's going on, to him not talking to his partner to know what the contract was that he was working on, not knowing the correct closing date, and just not having a clue to talk to her first to make a plan before talking to me. Do not use him unless you enjoy a stressful time. He doesn't look closely at contracts at all and I told him to not take a pool table, and he never talked to me about it, and left it in the contract costing me 400$ after closing to remove it, he straight up lied to my face, Do not use him no matter what

My wife and I have worked with Rob and his team on both home purchases we have done. The most recent one was a long painful process with a lot of challenges to get to the finish line. Rob and his team went above and beyond to help get us there! Would recommend to anyone!!

I was very happy with the services Robert Caputo provided for my house sale. Contract was so convenient for me, all done remotely, I was able to send required documents and do my signing via e signature. Closing was a distance away and inconvenient for me, so he arranged a pre-signing at his local office. Every document I needed to sign was explained to me and gave me complete confidence in the process. Proceeds went to account specified quickly, all final documents emailed to me. The whole process of selling my house was made convenient and pleasant. I highly recommend Robert Caputo and his office!

I met Robert first time when I decided to buy place in Long Island that was 2011 and what a service he provided me that time was excellence and I couldn’t ask more then that.

Mr. Birzon was a great lawyer, handled my case with competence. After the case was done there was a misunderstanding about my file and he never called me to talk about (only sent letters to a house I had since moved from). I KNOW he had my cell number from the trial and one day a few months later he left me a voicemail that I responded to quickly. He told me he was threatening to sue me because I did not get back to him quickly enough, I explained it was a misunderstanding and I would correct the problem immediately, which I did. Apparently another lawyer suggested he call me before trying to sue (why he or his office did not call my cell before this is beyond me), if he or his office had called earlier the whole issue could have been avoided. I didn't want to end our relationship on a bad note, but he thought otherwise and told me as much in not so polite terms.

The Lenard Team has been selling Real Estate in Smithtown since 1985. We have had interactions with many local attorneys over the years and our recent experience with Mr. Birzon was exceptional. The representation he provided our mutual client was top notch. His support staff was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgable. I would recommend this firm to anyone in the community when it comes time to buy or sell a home.

My family and I would not consider another attorney for our personal and professional legal needs.
He is as sensitive as he is strong which makes him the perfect person to have representing you in any legal matter.

Joe did a fantastic job representing us for both the sale and purchase of our new home. He was always there both day and night to answer any and all questions and concerns in an honest and straight forward manor, advising us every step of the way with the knowledge and experience he has gained from his many years of practicing law. Not only did he made it possible for us to close on both properties on the same afternoon he made it an enjoyable and stress free endeavor. This is our second time using his services as he also has taken care of our wills in the past, I highly recommend him and will be using his services the next time a need arises.

David Hove did a great job for me winning custody of my boys. He did the trial and then the case settled before the end because the mother could see she was going to lose. He is a great communicater and explained the process all through the proceeding. I would highly recommend David Hove if you are in need of a good lawyer.

Lack of effort . Got nothing that i asked for. Never returns calls. Does no leg work. He did more for my ex wife’s attorney than hers did. He absolutely sat on his hands and did nothing but take 5 k in retainer and got absolutely nothing that was asked or needed. He is absolutely the worst choice i could of made . Just a horrible reference from another attorney for a simple cut and dry case. I am absolutely disgusted i hired him . I wish i could sue for malpractice...
