I was facing overwhelming financial difficulties that were causing immense stress and anxiety for myself and my family. I felt completely lost and didn't know where to turn.

You addressed all my questions thoroughly, patiently answering each one with detailed explanations. Your sense of humor helped to ease some of the tension, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that I had a knowledgeable and experienced professional guiding me through this difficult situation.
Your guidance was invaluable in helping me make informed decisions about my financial future. You presented all available options, including bankruptcy, with complete transparency and without any pressure. I felt empowered to make the best choice for my family and myself.
Thank you again for your professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support. I am truly grateful for your assistance during this difficult time.

Father's Day 2023 would be a day I will never forget. An unlicensed and uninsured driver hit us while leaving a car show while I was driving my classic car. Three generations of the De Jesus family were in the car, me, as the driver, my father, the front passenger, and my two boys in the back. It was truly a eye opening experience of how quickly your life can change. Although our injuries were not life-threatening, we were left having to deal solely through my insurance, which was a hassle, and we were forced to take legal action. Mr. Rodie was personable and made sure we were compensated for suffering. As per my final conversation with him, I hope that I never need him again, but if a similar situation ever arises, I know who I am going to call.

After an auto accident, my in-laws recommended I work with Bill Rodie after they had just finished up a case with him a few months earlier. He made the entire process very easy to understand and I was incredibly thankful for his prompt responses to any and all questions. He also referred me to a great PT office that helped immensely in the healing process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation, and I wouldn’t hesitate work with him again in the future!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Ray Ganim, and his amazing team.
Ray, Virginia and Carmen were all wonderful through a very difficult, emotional legal battle.
Not only am I pleased with the results, but I now consider them friends for the manner in which they guided me through an otherwise confusing/intimidating process. Their experience, professionalism and responsiveness is second to none.
If you need an attorney, don't call the clowns on billboards or buses. Call Ray Ganim.

I want to start by saying that Attorney Hardy is a caring man who is very knowledgeable of the law. My children and I were going through a rough time. My ex-wife was being unfaithful and walked out. We have three children together who I was caring for, so naturally I wanted custody. At the time, theyalso were struggling as they wanted to permanently stay with me but didn't know what was going to happen. I called Attorney Hardy and let him know what was going on. He was very professional and took his time to walk me through the procedure. I know at times I was a bit impatient because I wanted to know the outcome, but he was always kind and would tell me that there was a process that would take time. Just like he said, it took some time, but at the end, I was able to keep my children, stay in the residence and get child support, which is very important, and quite honestly impressive. I don't think it could've gone any better. I really appreciate James for all his advice, I would definitely recommend him for anything that has to do with the law. I would give him 10 stars if I could. But unfortunately I can't. Thank you, Attorney Hardy, for everything.

What stood out most was their ability to offer thoughtful, strategic advice tailored to my specific situation.

Regarding William, he still lacks the maturity and common sense necessary for the profession. If you seek a lawyer who will truly advocate for your interests, I suggest looking elsewhere.
Pay attention to the way he writes his emails, including his spelling errors. He appears nervous in front of the judge, showing no signs of having prepared adequately for his presentations.
I could elaborate further, but I have already spent considerable time articulating these thoughts.

I hired Peter Billings for a traffic violation and my experience with him was everything that one would hope for when hiring a lawyer. When I first contacted him, he got back to me quickly and was confident in being able to help me. Upon first meeting him, for the free consultation, he was nonjudgmental making me very comfortable telling him the complete situation. He also was very interested asking specific details and explained all the possible outcomes and the possibilities of each. I met with other popular lawyers locally and Billings was the most respectful of my time giving his complete undivided attention. Additionally, he is competitive in his pricing and made it clear he wasn’t going to lose a customer over costs. When I hired him, he communicated with me during the entire process and always returned my calls promptly. To top it off, he was able to get the best outcome possible.

I decided to go on my own to get a loan modification after spending so much money on legal fees. At the end of the process, it got really technical and complicated, I called Ilya for an Appoitment, he went over my case in the phone and advised me of what to do next, and what to expect. Following his Advise I got it two month later, I feel he did a bonus case with me. He was so kind and humane, a rare quality in a lawyer.

Attorney Hawkins handled my car accident case in 2010. He kept me up to date on all aspects of the claim and answered many questions I had.

In the end, I did settle my case for over 6 figures because Attorney Hawkins would not take less!

Stuart has 2 cases for me. In 2009, he handled my car accident case, and kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case. If I was unsure about anything he was talking about, he took the time to explain all the terms that I was unclear about. I never felt like he forgot about my case or that I wasn't getting the attention I needed. He was right there any time there was a new development in the case, I and was immediately informed. He gave me great advice on what was coming, and what to expect. He settled the case and I was very happy with the results!
In 2011, he also handled my child custody case. He fought for everything that I wanted, and made sure that I was happy with the outcome. When I told him I wanted the child support portion to go through the state Child Support Enforcement Division, he was very clear, and expressed to the judge all of the facts that supported that portion of my case.
I would recommend Stuart to anyone, for both Motor Vehicle accidents, and family court issues!

I called this lawyer after receiving referrals from 2 different people at the Stamford courthouse. She not only saw me that day but told me what she could do for me and what I would have to do to stay out of jail. She did everything she promised to do and charged me less than what the other lawyer I talked to wanted to charge. She also helped me deal with my boss so I didn't lose my job. I drive for a living. I recommend her to anyone who wants a really good lawyer but maybe doesn't have the money for a really expensive one. I still talk to her once in a while. I would trust her with my life and my children.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
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. -

Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times. -

Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish. -

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:
-
