My son was in a terrible accident in Nassau County on July, 2021. Mr. Borroughs immediately guided us to the best appropriate specialist medical doctors, walked us through the entire process (explaining the purpose of all Forms, Documents, Statements, etc.), and importantly, was extremely caring, courteous and very informative, so much so that he knew what all doctors, carriers, etc. would request BEFORE it was requested. He was always available to ease any/all worries any parent would have, and was extremely professional throughout it all. His decades of experience is second to none. Lastly, he got our son the best possible outcome (every nickel available) after dealing with multiple level Insurance Company Representatives he dealt with as it the claim was repeatedly moved up to Representatives with higher and higher monetary authority, until Doug Borroughs made them Tender their Entire Policy of coverage (all within 5 months). He IS the BEST at what he does. I cannot recommend Douglas Borroughs more highly. You will not be disappointed at any time

Douglas Borroughs took excellent care of me in my recent personal injury case. Not only is he a great lawyer, but he was thoughtful, attentive and transparent. I am someone who likes to fully understand every aspect of a situation and he was always available and willing to answer any and all questions I had regarding my case. He made my case feel very personalized and it was thoroughly and quickly resolved. You can tell he cares about his clients and wants to give the best service he possibly can. I’m so glad he was recommended to me!

I retained Mr. Paul Tuths to represent me at a hearing at the Southampton Town Court. Paul is throughly professional, was great about returning calls and email, charges a reasonable fee, and, most important, delivers meaningful results. Without divulging my circumstances, he was able to get three traffic violations reduced to a single parking infraction. Paul’s fee more than paid for itself, in both potential fines and points. I owe Paul a debt of gratitude, and I recommend Paul without reservation.

Paul is courteous, honest and straightforward. He was able to negotiate my 6-point speeding ticket down to a no points parking violation; moreover, he was receptive to emails and provided timely updates. His fee is comparable to other attorneys in the area, but his reputation and experience in the Southampton, NY area are what set him apart.

I feel incredibly lucky that a friend recommended Russel Morgan to me and I truly appreciate it. Since I'm getting ready to move it was really important for me to make sure that all my estate planning documents would still be valid there. Mr. Morgan's office gave me a price quote for reviewing my documents, which I found to be quite reasonable. They were quick in providing me with concise answers to all of my questions. Unlike some law offices that might have tried to sell me services based on my documents or other factors Mr. Morgan didn't engage in such practices. Furthermore his team was incredibly helpful and pleasant to work with. Without hesitation I highly recommend him and his office .

When it was time for me to leave my previous rental, my landlord and I unfortunately entered a dispute. It was a situation I was not looking foward to but Mr. Wani handled it in a smooth, professional manner. After my initial consultation, not only did I leave his office with confidence, but awith a realistic understanding of the circumstances I was facing. I would recommend him to anyone getting into a legal dispute for their first time.

We recently hired Heather A. Wright, Esq. as our attorney, on the recommendation of our broker, to represent us in the closing of our Long Island beach house. We were lucky indeed to have stumbled on Heather's firm.
She is a thoughtful and talented lawyer, experienced in real estate practice and a pleasure to work with! In all of our dealings, she was prompt and responsive. We always felt she was looking out for our interests.
Indeed, thanks to her creative lawyering and solid negotiating skills, Heather saved us several thousand dollars in fees we would otherwise have had to pay to the seller at closing.
If you are seeking a pragmatic, easy-to-work-with lawyer to assist you in an east end or south shore real estate transaction, your search is over. You won't regret hiring Heather A. Wright, whose work for us was both first-class and reasonably priced.

If you’re buying in the area bring in an outside lawyer. If you must use someone local, look here last. Joe Burke did a horrible job with our closing. He let everything get past him. He never returned a call nor fixed a thing post closing. The Judge (his dad) acknowledged all of the mistakes and doings while we continued to wait for the prodigal son but like his son he was nothing but hot air. I don’t know the Sullivan side of the sign but it’s hard to believe it could be any worse.
Thank you for the memories.
I’d give zero stars if it was an option.

Joe Salvi recently represented my sister in a home sale. Mr. Salvi was very understanding and patient concerning my sister’s case. She was in the hospital and not able to be at the closing. Mr. Salvi made this closing so easy with minimal stress at a time when things were extremely stressful. The compassion shown was exemplary. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to handle this matter. Mr. Salvi was so patient and understanding, a soft spoken man that kept our family calm and reassured us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr. Salvi to anyone seeking legal representation.

I hired Fred to handle a DUI for me. When I met him at his "Home Office," he talked a big game and said the penelty for my first time infraction will be very small. Not only did I get my license suspended for a year but I had to serve 30 days. Often times I would call him and he wouldn't even remember who I was. I would not reccomend this attorney. He should retire and not take people's maoney giveng false promises.
