In Matto Espresso we used Spadea Lignana as our franchise lawyer. They took us from day one and guided us to become great franchise company. We have today 13 stores and 9 stores are coming soon. Andrew Matson and Tom Speeda did and do all our legal work. It is a great law firm, responsible, and super professional. Bottom line, highly recommend!

David is a very knowledgeable and excellent attorney. He paid attention to every detail of our transaction. I hired David in 2017 in order to draft the sales agreement and closing documents for the sale of my business to one of my former employees. Together, we came up with a plan on how the deal should be structured in order to best protect my interests. He came up with many great ideas that I never would have foreseen. He took the time to listen and understand the parties involved. Not only did David oversee the initial transaction, but when the buyer defaulted, he helped me successfully navigate the situation with a 100% favorable outcome where both myself and the buyer walked away satisfied. David is detail oriented, knows the law, and is a caring and all around good guy in a sometimes challenging field. Well done David! I will always highly recommend him.

David was instrumental in creating and negotiating a fair and reasonable operating agreement between myself and 2 other business partners.
We went through dozens of possible scenarios, both good and bad, based on his past experiences and foresite. It was a seamless process and has been smooth sailing for our business since completion and execution.

A former employee illegally charged a large sum of money to my personal credit card. Two different attorneys took 18 months trying to correct this situation. Mr. Blansky was recommended to me so I decided to take a chance with him. All I can say is, "Wow, what a difference". We had a relatively brief conversation of the background of the case and he went right to work. Within a comparatively short time Blansky not only won the case but got me some money back. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best legal representation out there.

I received a traffic ticket in a part of new york i was unfamiliar with. Amanda took care of everything for me, i didn't even have to sit around in court and waste my day. Amanda took care of it all and got my ticket reduced to almost nothing! Better then having points and paying large fees. Amanda Disken is super friendly and very well spoken.

I hired Ms. Disken to assist my elderly mother through a real estate process involving (1) having to "prove" that my father who was co-owner of the co-op when they purchased it 40+ years ago was deceased, (2) going through a Title Search, and (3) assisting her with the closing on the co-op in her name only. I was part of the entire process and at every step Ms. Disken was professional and compassionate (something very important to my 92 year old mother). She was able to move effortlessly between legal terminology lawyer to lawyer, to words my mother could easily understand. She made the process as anxiety free as possible for all involved. Ms. Disken was thorough, finding many errors in the documents provided by the co-ops real estate attorneys. I highly recommend Ms. Disken and will definitely be using her services again in the future.

I am so very impressed by her integrity and all the hard work she did on my behalf. I very highly recommend Ms. Disken and would not hesitate to use her again if needed.

Thomas tyrell has made the best out of the unfortunate situation of dealing with the law. He has a thorough knowledge of the law and anything that has been thrown at me by a district attorney. He is extremely knowledgable friendly and most importantly honorable. He also is extremely confidential. He has been essentially a crutch and has made me feel comfortable in any legal situation . I personally recommend this attorney in any legal situation . If I ever need representation in a court of law Thomas will be the first person I call.

Jeff has been my lawyer in a drawn-out contentious divorce proceeding. Four years after meeting, he's still helping me handle details from the divorce. Through it all, he has been focused, calm, and a tremendous advocate for me. He's helped me understand the state law, as well as what makes for an appropriate negotiating position (and what doesn't!). I appreciate his sense of humor, fair rates, and responsiveness. He also has a great executive assistant who is professional and helpful. I strongly recommend Jeff as a divorce attorney.

Diane Dwyer was very disrespectfule during my dealings with her. If you want to be treated with respect, forget it. If you want to be treated fairly, read, be informed, make sure you know your stuff as she will only do what is in the best interest of the county, the courts, etc. which is to move your case along as quickly as possible without any regard for fairness ( the bottom line is, save the courts and county as much money as possible even if your life is made more difficult) even though it is the people who indirectly pay her and all court employees salaries.

Stay far, far away. I can't speak for her legal abilities but as a support magistrate in the Nassau County Family Court with whom I had the misfortune of having to face several times over the years, she is a disaster. In my opinion, she is unprofessional, obnoxious, degrading, biased, unfair in her refusal to examine documents if she dislikes you, and downright vicious. She refused to accept or believe I have a learning disability, refused to write down or help me understand additional requests she demanded that I simply could not comprehend, she insulted my maternal abilities despite all my efforts and insinuated I am a liar because she didn't like my honest answers about my medical condition. To do all of this to someone who has suffered from clinical depression for many years only makes the condition worse. Her conduct literally drove me to vomitting on the way out of the courtroom. Worst of all, she refused to review or look at any documentation I offered to support my claims, while having no problem reviewing documents from the other party in the case. She has no empathy for those she apparently considers to be beneath her and takes a little too much joy in disparaging the uneducated, those with disabilities or almost anyone who stands before her, judging from the many angry unfortunates who spoke to me in court after a session with her. She should get off her high horse and learn that more will be accomplished by treating people with a little respect instead of insulting them for their insecurities and shortcomings. I repeat, stay far, far away from this angry, apparently miserable person. In case anyone is wondering how someone with a disability could write such a review, I had a lot of help.
