Foote & Meyer have been helping our out-of-state non-profit with a land sale in Allegany County, NY. They've been great to work with and have answered all questions I've had quickly and easily.
They've been especially helpful and patient because my father, the president of our non-profit is 90 years old and sometimes his records were not the easiest to get to, but they guided us to exactly what we needed to give them to get our real estate transaction done.

Some of the rudest people I've met my life. They want you to plead guilty and pay court fines. I was given a court appointed attorney who is NOT allowed to practice law. He's in newspapers for the last 10 years about his corruption and sending innocent people to jail. Anthony m Bruce is his name. Who wants a old dirty man telling you he loves you multiple times. It doesn't get more unprofessional than that. After court he came out and flung the driver side door open and now it's broken. I need to file an appeal immediately and he will not return text messages emails or voice messages. So many innocent people violated by the court system that's supposed to protect them.

I would recommend you steal very clear of attorney Mark Adrian who is employed at the Wyoming county public defenders office. He is rude. Disrespectful. Refuses to speak with his clients when they repeatedly try to talk with him. Disregards clients wishes. Acts as if his 41 years as an attorney makes him more important than the defendant and their need to understand what is happening with their case. He has clients who are in custody who have been in custody for 2 months and haven’t seen Mr. Adrian yet except out a cell window as he watches Mr Adrian go to and from his office. I even tried to complain to Mr Effman THE public defender and he didn’t even have the courtesy enough to respond back. Wyoming county NY is in need of NEW PUBLIC DEFENDERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY WILLING TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT and not just be old miserable and lazy cause you’ve been around too long.

Did not answer phone calls. Seemed disorganized. She wanted to help but didn’t seem like she knew the law about my situation. At first it seemed like maybe she was jest not experienced but then later it seemed like she wasn’t stable enough to be a lawyer. Thjs was a while ago so I am hoping she became a better lawyer but if you know another lawyer I’d go there.
