This firm and Mr. Krieger were amazing with assisting my husband and I with the purchase of our co-op. We had no idea what flip tax or anything was, since this was our first ever purchase, and they showed patience and were extremely knowledgeable. We almost made the wrong decision and Mr. Krieger aided us in deciding the best place for our money. I highly 1000% recommend them.

Larry is thorough and beyond ! He knows the laws and what to look for and fight for and how! He got all the prelim and research done in a timely , professional manner. I met him end of June, and was divorced by beginning of March ! There were definitely complications that Larry navigated through, again above and beyond!! Larry fought for me and won for me! I highly reccomend Larry !

30 Jul, 2023 by Jennifer

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.

I consulted and hired Richard involving a DUI case. The plea bargain agreement he acquired was to my satisfaction. Showed professionalism in carrying out the case to the end.

09 Mar, 2020 by Thomas

I could not say enough kind things about this man . I owned a small hobby farm in upstate NY . I was charged with doing something illegal against the animal welfare act and it was brought down to NYC. I originally hired a firm that told me my case was a win win no problem as they were just collecting money. After a one count conviction in a five day Trial in NYC. I fired the lawyers and hired Richard who was highly recommended by my civil lawyer to handle Post conviction and the sentencing and appeal. It was the best decision I made. Richard is tough but fair and the judge that tried my case in the southern district at sentencing even praised his work . Richard also met with me and the probation officer for sentencing It was very reassuring to have some one in your corner that is fighting for you for me it made all the difference he explained everything and did not let me believe lies thank you for everything Richard.

Greg got me every single thing on my wishlist that I wanted and asked for during my divorce. From Day 1 he was straight up with me. I had a couple hiccups throughout this process, but Greg still managed to get the job done. I sincerely appreciate Greg's hard work, transparency, and being straight up with me every single step of the way.

Greg exceeded all my expectations. He was extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and guided me to make all the right calls. I can't speak highly enough of Greg. He will fight for you; he listens attentively; he's reliable; and will win your case. I couldn't imagine having better representation. Extremely satisfied.

08 Jul, 2022 by Anonymous

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.

Gina DeCrescenzo came highly recommended to us and the reason why became quickly apparent. Gina and her outstanding team are simply the BEST out there. Not only is Gina's expertise in Special Education Law unparalleled, she is equally determined and compassionate. Thanks to Gina, our son was finally able to receive the education and services he is entitled to after a long and arduous journey. Our family is forever grateful!

09 Nov, 2022 by Winifred

Gina DeCrescenzo has all the knowledge and wisdom one would hope and expect from an attorney. Equally important, she also holds space for the emotional roller coaster that all parents go through in this process. Gina made me feel heard, understood and I always felt she truly had my son's (and my) best interest at heart. I cannot express enough gratitude to Gina and Team.

21 Oct, 2022 by Tiffany

A review about Gina Decrescenzo Where do I start? She is a Master Attorney in Special Education Law. Gina’s Expertise is one of a kind. I will be forever grateful for the work she is doing representing my son. I will never forget the day, I picked up the phone and spoke to her paralegal Charlie. I just had a feeling right then that I was in good hands. When you have a real complex case or even small case she is the one to hire. My son's case is very complex, Gina and the staff have been with me each step of the way. I live on Long Island, so anyone hesitant to call her bc she is in White Plains do not worry about that she will work with Clients here too. With the technology we are always connected with a zoom meeting or a conference call via phone.

I engaged Tamara after my collaborative divorce process failed. We dealt with a multi-state issue, complex financials with one side much more financially astute than the other. She guided me well as well as worked well with competing counsel to get to an out-of course settlement and agreement which has both stood the test of time and was fair across the board.

09 Feb, 2021 by Anonymous

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!

12 Jan, 2021 by Anonymous

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.

05 Apr, 2022 by Anonymous

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.

30 Nov, 2020 by Anonymous

Mr. Cohen was an amazing lawyer who has helped me to survive a complex and contentious divorce. The case would have dragged on much longer and costed much more had Mr. Cohen not been my lawyer. He always sought the best outcome in the most efficient and expeditious way with my best interest in mind Through his strategic planning and persistence, he brought an impossible case to a satisfactory end during the pandemic. His rigor, ethics and client focus earned the respect of his peers and the court. I am eternally grateful and would highly recommend his services.

John answered my question in detail and even responded to a second question. His answer was on point and very helpful.

13 Dec, 2016 by Michael

John represented us during the acquisition of our company by a strategic buyer. He did a masterful job of identifying the important elements to negotiate on, and expertly moved the needle on several critical deal terms while maintaining a friendly disposition with opposing counsel. Negotiating deal terms without putting off the buyer is hyper-critical in these situations, and John showed exceptional diplomacy while firmly protecting us.

26 Jun, 2016 by Bill

John provided us with an excellent PPM and a number of other relevant documents (board resolutions, amended bylaws, amended certificate of incorporation, capitalization table). John is thorough, professional, responsive and is a pleasure to work with. Being a CPA as well as an attorney makes John a value-added resource.

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:

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

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
List of Questions:

Financial Information:
If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
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.
