I can’t state enough how amazing of an attorney Alexandra is . She took my child support modification case after I had to switch attorneys. She was caring and most of all listen and showed empathy . I felt I was fighting an uphill battle, in the end with Alexandra at the helm I ended up with a more than a fair judgement that I feel was in my favor and what was best for my family . I will never use another attorney !

Alexandra is a pleasure to work with and is an expert on any landlord/tenant issues. We had an unfortunate situation with our landlord who didn't comply with the NY State laws and was completely negligent. She fully explained our rights and what we should expect to happen if we were to go to court. However, she was able to get the landlord to return our deposit without having to go to court. I highly recommend Alexandra Georgetti for all of your legal needs. She is extremely knowledgeable and presents information in a factual manner that is easy to understand. Furthermore, she takes pride in helping people and she is excellent!

I used Jerry to sell my home and on the purchase of a new one. I found Jerry with a quick google search and was skeptical about all lawyers after my experience buying my first home. From the start he was great, he took the time to explain everything, he was so easy to get a hold of and communicate with, he was knowledgeable and really treated you with respect. I can honestly say that he made this whole experience manageable and it could have easily turned out much differently. I would recommend Jerry to anyone in need of his services and plan on using him again if I ever need to.

I’ve worked with Daniel Weglarz on many, many legal matters and can’t speak highly enough about his work ethic and integrity. He treats me and every person he works with like the most important person, and he is completely genuine. You won’t find a more down-to-earth, honest, trustworthy lawyer than Daniel. It’s clear that being a lawyer isn’t just a job to him. He actually cares deeply about the people he serves and the service he’s offering. And you can tell how knowledgeable and sharp he is by the way he explains things.

We hired McCord for an education law matter against our school district. We should have known better when he claimed he was an associate of Karl Rove and on the short list for the Supreme Court in the Bush Administration. He charged us a ton, and then dropped us right before the hearing, requiring us to start over with another lawyer. He messed up on a key legal point, and billed for research for things we assumed he should have known.
