I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand.
What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

One of the best decisions I made was to ask for Tilem & Associates to help me with my 6 point speeding ticket, they got it reduced to a zero point parking ticket. Very respectful and so helpful! Without their help my insurance definitely would have gone up a lot, so I can’t thank them enough!

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He represented me for more than 5 years during a very complex and emotionally draining family law case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that made navigating a challenging family law situation much easier. David’s deep understanding of family law, combined with his strategic "no nonsense" approach gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.
He always listened intently to my concerns, was timely in his responses, and thoroughly explained every step. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. David's commitment to my case was evident in the way he advocated fiercely on my behalf, balancing assertiveness with sensitivity to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my daughter. He took an incredible risk by representing me and I could not be more grateful for him. Thanks to his dedication, I felt supported and informed at every turn, which was invaluable during such an emotional time. The resolution he achieved exceeded my expectations. Because he represented me for so long, he was tirelessly invested in seeing it through to the end. I have tremendous respect for his dedication and resilience. If you are looking for a compassionate, firm, knowledgeable, and results-driven family law attorney, David is the one you want by your side.

I would highly recommend the Douglas Family Law Group. I have come to realize that you either have a horrible lawyer or a great one. I feel the best measure is when they are transparent and show that they actually care. I was first represented by a pro-bono lawyer who wouldn't tell the court my ex-partner boyfriend threatened me, that she caused him 38 lates to school and she didn't have him half the time and she moved out of state without telling me or the court. He just kept telling me " you never know what the judge will say so take the settlement". he refused to even put my requests in the settlement if he felt they wouldn't agree. When I retained the Douglas Family Law group it was a different experience. There was constant communication, empathy and acknowledgment for some of the unfairness that I had experienced. Elizabeth spoke up for me in the courtroom and stated many things that needed to be on the record. Elizabeth put in my reasonable and justifiable requests when engaging in the settlement process. Elizabeth many times had to explain to me what the court pays attention to and what path we can take to present that. I have a great disdain for the family court system and it's practices but if you have representation from this law firm they can professionally and honestly represent and defend your interests in this institution. I, thank them for finally giving me a voice in this arena so that my son can truly have what he needs that serves in his best interest.

I’ve been working with WBG for the better part of two years from a personal and business end. I’ve had an amazing interaction with everyone of their staff. They’ve handled everything I’ve ever thrown at them and they’ve never disappointed. If you’re looking for an honest law firm who will take care of you while being fair when it comes to billing, look no further. They are truly experts at what they do and I highly recommend them for any to all of your needs. Thank you WBG!!

I sought the services of Tracey for the sale of my home based on the recommendation of my real estate agent, who I trust without question. Lucky me. Trace was responsive, attentive and experienced. Her advice was frank and direct, which I appreciate, and her team worked seamlessly. I would not hesitate to engage her again.

Tracey handled both our sale and purchase and was incredible all the way through. Both transactions were complicated to say the least and she gave us very sound advice and guidance in every step. We have the most trust in her and cannot imagine we would have made it to the same end point without her.

Dear Mary Francis:
It was an amazing journey to get to this place and you navigated it professionally, expeditiously, and efficiently. I am so very happy with your service and your strategies.
You were the best and most qualified in all my searches. Your reviews were stellar and stood apart.
My lawyer friend vetted you further and said you were the “real deal” and so we chose you.
I could not have been happier and would recommend you to anyone in NY or out of state so very highly.
Rick here to all: I recommend Mary Francis highly as a very trustworthy, experienced (she knows all the judges, clerks and staff and they respect her! ) and competent professional in all legal and family matters.

I found the communication to be less effective than I had hoped. There were instances where my questions went unanswered, and I felt a bit lost in the process without sufficient guidance.

Natasha Meruelo and her staff handled our case flawlessly. We found Natasha to be highly knowledgeable, efficient, dependable and excellent in regards to communication and speed of response to inquiries. Additionally, we found her to be genuinely kind and caring while helping us through a challenging and difficult time in our lives. I would recommend Natasha to anyone facing bankruptcy; you will not find a more professional attorney with kindness to boot.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation.
Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help.
Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children.
I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made.
Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family.
It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded.
I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

Faith Miller was truly heaven-sent in my battle that felt like a classic struggle of good vs. evil. With her professionalism and unwavering support, we achieved victory together. Having worked with many attorneys and judges, I know how rare it is to find someone who is not only efficient and thorough but also possesses a strong moral compass. The public often overlooks the complexities of this profession, but Ms. Miller exemplifies what it means to be dedicated and compassionate in this challenging field.

Brett Childs is a fantastic lawyer. Meticulous, responsive, concerned for his client. He represented me for the sale of my cooperative apartment in Tuckahoe, New York.

Brett handled both the sale of our condo and purchase of a new home. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He was very responsive and promptly let us know about anything unusual or risks that we as seller or buyer should be aware of. He took care to explain the key points of real estate transactions. He handled the communications on both ends very well. He has a very deep knowledge and network of realtors and real estate industry contacts in Westchester. He was able to coordinate both closings and the closings went smoothly. For real estate transactions, I highly recommend Brett and his team.

Dear Mary Francis:
It was an amazing journey to get to this place and you navigated it professionally, expeditiously, and efficiently. I am so very happy with your service and your strategies.
You were the best and most qualified in all my searches. Your reviews were stellar and stood apart.
My lawyer friend vetted you further and said you were the “real deal” and so we chose you.
I could not have been happier and would recommend you to anyone in NY or out of state so very highly.
Rick here to all: I recommend Mary Francis highly as a very trustworthy, experienced (she knows all the judges, clerks and staff and they respect her! ) and competent professional in all legal and family matters.
