Wendy and her team were amazing! My husband and I had a very unique situation where we had to be out of one house by a certain time frame so we had to close on the new house within that same time frame. Wendy, Merri and Erin got it done and we closed just in time! I would definitely suggest Clair Gjertsen & Weathers for any real estate needs or landlord tenant advice. They were very understanding and easy to work with.

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal. So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

Retaining Mark Bernstein was one of the smartest decisions I've made. He replies to questions quickly, anticipates issues before they come problems and always bills fairly. Working with him made me feel like had a real partner, instead of a contractor that I needed to monitor. I recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional attorney.

Shari is an extremely talented attorney who cares a great deal about her clients and her firm. Shari has a strong sense of organization which helped her to always gain the upper hand in court and win a large majority of her cases. Shari is very through and competent professional who always had my interest in mind. She never missed a scheduled meeting and always took my calls. She has an exceptionally strong eye for details. Shari has a very calm demeanor that was a blessing when I was in physical therapy for a total knee replacement. I owe a debt of gratitude for her service. She is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service for her clients. She has taken pro bono cases each year to help people who would have otherwise not been able to afford legal counsel. Shari is always available for anyone who is need of legal assistance.

My experience with Ivana has been nothing short of outstanding. During the most upsetting situation she stepped right in to ensure I fully understood what needed to be done, what to expect, and how to separate the emotion of what I felt to what legally was possible and necessary so that I could listen to her counsel and "let her do her job," which she did without missing a beat. Her confidence, knowledge and willingness to be available anytime put my mind at ease, and for me this was in many ways lifesaving. Ivana keep me informed at every instance, and to her credit she listened to me "sharing" advice and pressing a bit to move forward with patience and grace. As we are nearing the final steps please know you and Ivana helped in ways I am still unable to fully articulate. Thank you for the good work you do, it is important and necessary. You never really understand the phrase "you don't know what you don't know" until you are in the midst of a dire situation and you and Ivana took over to guide me through what I did not know to help me extricate myself from an untenable situation. I could not have asked for better representation.

Ivana was extremely helpful throughout my entire divorce process. From our initial consultation, I walked away with a lot of information, and not feeling as lost as I first felt when faced with this challenge. She gave a clear and honest overview of the process ahead of me. Upon hiring her, and throughout the process she was always available and extremely quick in her responses to any questions or concerns that I had. She was consistently professional with both myself and with all the other lawyers that we dealt with, even when some of those lawyers were less than professional. In addition to handling all legal aspects of this case in a superb manner, she went above and beyond to help me through this process emotionally - when I would be at my wits end because of the frustrating antics of my ex, she would remind me of the big picture and walk me through all my options to help me feel more in control of the situation. Not once during this whole process did I doubt my choice in hiring her as my attorney. I felt very supported and guided. I would highly recommend Ivana to anyone going through the divorce process.

With his vast experience and sound judgement he was able to help me navigate what could’ve been a very detrimental situation at a very vulnerable time in my life. Mr. Bartlett advocated and fought for me like I was a member of the family and he was able to get my case dismissed with all the charges dropped.

I decided to hire Mr. Bartlett for my DWI case after he was referred to me by multiple people as I searched for an attorney. I am so happy I did. He was always reachable and got back to me within minutes. First, we had a DMV refusal hearing with the DMV court which he was remarkably able to get dismissed !!!! This was huge for me because no matter the outcome of the DWI case my license would’ve been suspended for a year. Next after months of going back and forth and the prosecution not offering me a favorable deal we decided to go to trial. During the trial, Mr. Bartlett was outstanding and got the CASE DISMISSED !!! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Bartlett.

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.

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.

Gina has specialized knowledge of the inner workings of special education and she is extremely savvy about skipping unnecessary delay tactics and moving right to the core of necessary actions. Collecting the documents was a lot of work, but her guidance and support made it manageable. Notably, shewas considerate about using her time efficiently to keep costs as low as possible. We simultaneously prepared for a lawsuit and a settlement, and I was very pleased that we were able to reach a settlement with the district that was appropriate for my son. I give her the highest recommendation possible.

If you are getting divorced, thinking about getting divorced, or have any sort of custody issues, pick up the phone and call Larry LaRaus. He will make sure he understands what's important to you and be in your corner every step of the way, knowing what tactic to use when -- whether that's being a pit bull in the courtroom, a suave diplomat in negotiations, or penning the most biting, on-point messages to your ex's lawyer that they're silenced. He will do all of these things with his signature grace, fierce confidence, strong ethic, and warm humor that will be a beacon of sanity, reason, and assurance during this process. He has a deep and nuanced understanding of the law, and he expertly navigated the complexity of my case, which had been initiated in a different state, involved a special needs child, and featured a revolving door of opposing counsel. He brought a rare combination of empathy, practicality, and ferocity to my divorce -- and he got things done in a way I feel great about. While I may not have made the best decision in choosing a husband, choosing Larry to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I ever made -- for myself and my kids.

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal. So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

Greg Salant was straightforward beginning with the consultation through what was a very long and trying negotiation. I'm glad that he was recommended to me, and that I hired him. His response times are prompt, he's very thorough and prepared, and most importantly - he knows the law. Your divorce attorney isn't a shoulder to cry on, but there were a few times I felt like throwing in the proverbial towel. Fortunately, Greg encouraged me to keep going for the sake of my children and I'm glad I did. Divorce is incredibly difficult and complex, but you can be confident that Greg will help you navigate through the mess if you hire him.

Tamara is the best lawyer with extreme care to the clients. She has the charisma and integrity that’s hard to find. Divorce was one of the most difficult time in my life, especially when it involved domestic violence. Tamara showed to me how much she cares about me as a person, not just as a client. She always kept a big picture for me, advised me what’s the priority in my life, and made sure I got out of the divorce with healthy mentality which is most important to me and my kids. She is amazing in promptly replying phone calls and emails and highly efficient in writing documents. After my divorce, confliction still arises occasionally with my ex, and Tamara always provides her best guidance to me as the most trustworthy lawyer you can rely on. Tamara is the lawyer I always feel lucky to meet in my life. Thank you!

Tamara gave me outstanding and knowledgable advice during my separation and throughout the divorce process, which entailed negotiating the details of Soberlink testing for custody. Tamara was extremely responsive and quick to draft detailed and complex stipulations and documents. She is extremely professional and personable, with a quick wit, and her experience in Westchester courts was a huge asset. I cannot recommend her more highly. She shepherded me through what was the most traumatic experience in my life, with skill, patience, and, above all, her vast legal knowledge.

Would recommend Mitch Cohen without any hesitation or equivocation -- he handled my complicated and potentially volatile divorce perfectly. I came to him wary of lawyers, in general, and found him to be expert on a range of matters -- very capable of calming my unwarranted concerns while at the same time pointing out areas that warranted greater attention. A terrific coach without becoming a "therapist". Exceptionally sensible and efficient w/ his time -- I never felt the "clock" running inappropriately; not for a second. Greatly exceeded expectations in all parameters. I really didn't know it was possible to find a divorce lawyer of his calibre.

Mitch Cohen combines professional excellence, legal expertise, and care for his clients in a way that is unparalleled in my experience. Meticulous in his knowledge of the law (and, frankly, of human nature), he always gave me excellent legal advice in the face of very fraught and contentious circumstances. His sense of both the long game and the short game helped me to come away with the best possible outcome at each turn. He also has a calm, cool demeanor that is extremely effective both in negotiations and in court proceedings. When he speaks, it is with the authoritative backing of a deep understanding of the details of the case and the relevant case law, and he has an amazing talent for saying just the right thing at just the right time. It was clear throughout my time working with him that the judge, the AFCs, and even the opposing counsel had tremendous respect for him. On more than one occasion, with a single sentence, he was able to direct the course of an entire court conference. During what has easily been the most traumatic period of my life, Mitch was my constant counsel, advocate, and champion, and I could not have had someone better by my side.

Had a GREAT experience working with Peter Spino on the estate sale of my Aunt's house. There were many glitches along the way with our buyer, as legitimate problems came up with the house. Peter kept things moving forward. Other lawyers I interviewed wanted to chat me up about unrelated details. I loved how straight forward, brief, clear, and profession Peter was, both in the interview, and throughout the process. He simply does all that needs to be done quickly and throughly. He also was constantly thinking ahead to avoid problems. There were no hidden costs, even with what I am sure was a more difficult closing than is usual. I highly recommend working with this very experienced and professional lawyer.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
