Mr. Virdone was caring and honest in regards to the best way to proceed even though it wasn't beneficial to him. My only issue was that there was no AC in the waiting room.

I cannot thank John Virdone and his team enough for their exceptional expertise in elder and family law. From the moment I contacted the John Virdone Law Firm, I felt reassured and supported, despite the complexities of my case. John quickly understood our unique situation and crafted a solid legal strategy to protect my and my mother's rights and our family's unity.
I have witnessed John Virdone’s competence as a skilled litigator and defense attorney in every interaction and courtroom appearance. I am impressed by his personal attention and his ability to clearly explain legal matters. He has shown a remarkable commitment to addressing my questions promptly and thoroughly. John genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients.
Although my case is still ongoing, I feel compelled to share my experience, at this time, to help someone else who may need a trustworthy, dedicated, and knowledgeable advisor in elder law and family law. I look forward to updating my review, at the conclusion of our case. Thx, MCoppin

I was facing 5 tickets which all contained points and high fee penalties. I contacted Mr.Ricca and from there he made it super easy, affordable and kept me updated on my case. Ultimately he got 4 of my charges dismissed and 1 lowered to a minor infraction that would have no impact on my record. Amazing work and definitely recommend!

I hired Eric in 2014 when the divorce process started for me and he has followed through with me today, finalizing my divorce, following up on child support arrears, etc. I met with several attorneys before making a selection and chose Eric due to his warm, kind, professional demeanor. Eric explains everything in detail, is there to answer all of my questions as has handled everything with class, respect and decency (even though we are dealing with a not so ideal situation.) I can not recommend Eric enough. Divorce is not an easy thing to experience as having a gentleman like Eric by my side, made the process a little less stressful. HIGHLY recommend!

My divorce was finalized in 2013, but I never had the chance to write a review. As far as I'm concerned, Eric is one of a kind in the best possible way. Compassionate, thorough, caring & always on top of details. Even thou my divorce took 3 yrs to finalize, I would do it all over again just to have Eric in my corner. Can't say enough good things about this amazing man who was my rock during a most awful & trying time in my life. & also a big thank you to Gina for helping me navigate many, many issues & phone calls.
I know this is long overdue, but thank you Eric for being the wonderful person you are!! Happy Holidays!!
Warmly,
Ellen Murphy-Safonte

He is not only extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and effective at his craft, he is a gentleman of the highest quality who is generous with his time and prioritizes you and your concerns above simply "earning a buck".

If you're looking for a supportive group during the arduous process of divorce or post divorce issues, you can stop your search here. I personally worked with Michele Olsen, who was in my corner from day one in helping me to obtain spousal and child support payments that were in default. Michele was responsive, supportive and made me feel completely at ease in an incredibly stressful situation. I found the entire firm a breath of much needed fresh air.
I cannot recommend them enough.

Once I had made the decision to file for bankruptcy, I found the process of finding the right lawyer to be frightening and overwhelming, but once I sat down with Neil at the initial consultation, he immediately helped me feel at ease. He took his time explaining the entire process, what to expect before, during and after filing, the types of filings that were the best options for me as well as his experience and qualifications. He patiently listened to all of my concerns and answered all my questions. I am grateful to have retained his and his partner Kamini's services. They were always available and took the extra step to check in and make sure I understood everything throughout each step. They are an extremely kind and knowledgeable team.

When I torn about what to do with my credit card debt I googled for a bankruptcy attorney and came across Neil Ackerman's name. I guess Google liked me that day because I hit the jackpot. Mr. Ackerman's firm took the time to explain to me all options and did not force me into anyone. They were with me every step of the way and even after my bankruptcy was discharged.
If you are in need to determine the best avenue to go down, I would highly suggest contacting Neil Ackerman and have them get you though one of the toughest times of your lives. I couldn't be happier today!

I was in a very difficult situation during the oncoming COVID crisis and on the verge of a catastrophe with my company and personal finances. I went to Lawyer Andrew M. Thaler for advice. I was very impressed by his patience in hearing out my problems and his self confidence and knowledge of the law in his honest recommendations on the course of action to be taken for the best outcome in my situation, without any bias for his own financial enrichment. But what was more astounding was the flexibility he showed during and after the court case. With Andrew, it is not money by the minute, but integrity, his work ethics and his compassion for the client. I recommend Andrew to anybody who wants a pleasant and the right experience and at the same time, deal with an excellent lawyer.

Met Mr. Borofsky in tenant/landlord during my darkest hours and he was able to negotiate a fair settlement with my landlord. It was his kind and compassionate demeanor that prevented my family from going on the streets. It was a few years later I called for my divorce proceedings, while my last attonery with their fancy office and many awards on the walls and charging me outrageous fees walked out on me. Steven stepped in and got more done in a month then the other attorney in two years! Steven, renewed my faith in the system and guided me through such a difficult time. I should of used him years ago and saved myself thousands! Now my friends are asking me who is my lawyer and I say, Steven Jay Borofsky! Not just a divorce attorney! I tell my friends all the time, if you need a honest and reasonable priced attorney, call Mr. Borofsky and feel confident your getting the best legal advice!

I will continue to hire Mr. Borofsky for any other work I may have in the future. I highly recommend him, he is fantastic and "most of all honest". ( dr)

I had been to this attorney.She is very knowledgeable,compassionate and responsive. I had been to around 10 attorneys and had lost all hopes of getting a visa. According to me she is the only attorney in New York who is well versed in U visa cases- visas for victims of domestic violence.She had the confidence to deal with my case and getting success while the other attorneys did only scare me with the chances of denial . She responds to your queries quick. I am very proud to say because of Ms. Medina today I have gone from being a abused house wife to a U visa holder. My simple advice is if you are in process of applying U visa- Visa for domestic violence she is the right person to contact.

La doctora Medina me ayudo a traer a mi hijo de Honduras. El caso salio mucho antes de lo que yo esperaba, ya que la doctora trabaja muy bien y es muy diligente. Siempre me mantuvo informada de cada etapa del caso, asi es que siempre sabia lo que estaba pasando, a diferencia de otros abogados que te mantienen en tinieblas y nunca sabes como va el caso. La doctora Medina siempre estuvo disponible para mi. Es una persona muy calida y amable y me siento muy afortunada y agradecida de haber podido contar con una verdadera profesional como ella.

My husband and I could never have hoped for the stellar results of our bankruptcy proceedings. Not only did Mr. Farina fight and win one of our credit card companies who was negating charges, but he also won against a judge in our right to keep and continue to pay for our car and lastly and most importantly our case was discharged without a single loss of assets or property. Truly he has his clients best interests as his priority!

He guided me through some complex options to help me make the best decisions. He helped make this experience as pleasant and stress-free for me as possible.

I've had the unfortunate experience of having to work with several lawyers over the past two years, as a result of my divorce I was forced to file for bankruptcy and was referred to Bob Pryor and Michael Farina for assistance. Bob and Michael are both extremely knowledgeable about the process and, equally as important, have a positive working relationship with the trustees in the district. If you need someone to quickly and efficiently handle your bankruptcy Michael is your attorney. He said what he would do and did what he said he would do, which is VERY rare these days it appears. Michael is your best choice for bankruptcy.
