I highly recommend Lever & Ecker for their exceptional professionalism and support. During my initial consultation, the staff demonstrated remarkable empathy and understanding of my situation. Although my case fell outside their area of expertise, they diligently followed up to ensure my well-being and provided valuable information relevant to my case. Their commitment to going above and beyond in assisting me, even when they could not represent me, was truly impressive. The care and consideration shown by the team surpassed my expectations. I am sincerely grateful for their assistance.

Choosing a injury firm for my car accident and or injury case was crucial to getting my life back, and I'm so glad I met Mr. Broderick and his legal team. Their approach immediately instilled confidence and trust in me. Throughout my case, despite the a couple of slowdowns in the process, Brandon kept me well-informed about every development and vigorously pursued the insurance company. They achieved a settlement that left me completely satisfied. Brandon Broderick's firm stands out for being thorough, proactive, highly knowledgeable in personal injury complexities, and always putting their client's interests at the forefront. I wholeheartedly endorse injury attorney Brandon Broderick for anyone needing an expert to help you get the best settlement.

After 21 years of divorce from a greedy ex and a corrupted system (judges and layers) I was able to close an ugly chapter of my life with Ms Martinez. She was able to disprove the petitioner and challenge a judge that was attempting to hide the truth. I wish I hired her years back. But I'm glad I am closing this ugly divorce on one single buy final smile on my face.

Can't recommend Valiant Law enough for anyone seeking expert legal advice and dedicated representation in employment law matters.

I contacted Valiant Law from a google search and have not had a single regret. Daniel was extremely professional and thorough. I was made aware of every aspect of my litigation and given pros and cons to make decisions. In the end I'm extremely satisfied and while I hope I never have to do this again I wouldn't hesitate to contact Valiant Law. Needless to say I highly recommend this law firm.

It was my first time getting into a messy lawsuit and ended up prevail. I wish I had known Valiant Law before I retained an attorney in CA, since they practice laws in both CA and NY.
I had encountered 3 lawyers this past 1.5 years with this case. 2 of them were very disappointing and motivated by billable hours or alternative motives, without having my best interest at heart. I learnt a valuable lesson of the litigation processes, as to how important it is to find someone great from the beginning.
Daniel Folchetti and JJ at Valiant Law are hands down the best lawyers I've ever worked with. Particularly Daniel. He sets realistic expectations; a true strong defense lawyer who has always had the client's best interest at heart. I would have not been able to settle this case without him being so persistent and strong.
Lawsuits are messy and stressful. Lots lawyers take advantage of the situation. Valiant law has integrity and I fully trust them.

Mr. Gallivan represented my sisters and I in the wrongful death case of my mother as a result of medical negligence at a major hospital in the Bronx. What I valued most about him was his kindness and compassion, he worked tiresly to obtain the maximum compensation for us and negotiated a medical lien reduction. While our case was complicated and took years to resolve he always kept us informed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gallivan and his firm.
