I had no idea how ruthless the insurance companies and defense lawyers would be after my car accident. My attorneys at Denlea & Carton were my champions. They took the time to explain the process from the very beginning, and were by my side every step of the way. Having them fight for me, and help me to explain the feelings I was struggling to express, was life changing. I am forever grateful for their compassion, help and toughness.

I’ve been a client of Denlea & Carton since July 2018. From my earliest meeting with Jeff and Amber, to my most recent meetings with Jim and Debbi, and at every meeting in between, the firm has always made me feel like a member of their family. They took the time to get to know me (and my family), and have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and secure. I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders knowing that they would represent my best interests in pursuing a recovery for the personal injuries I suffered, allowing me to focus on my emotional and physical recovery. My calls and emails were always answered immediately, and the firm took the time to explain everything they were doing and to ensure I understood and approved their efforts. Jeff and Debbi were relentless in pursuing my claim, and left no stone unturned when it came to getting me the settlement I was able to achieve. Their dedication to my case really paid off in the end. I’m so happy I chose Denlea & Carton to represent me in my time of need, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything they’ve done for me and my family.

This lawfirm was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful to have worked with them, especially with Noah Mittman. He's been so helpful during the entire process. He's very knowledgeable, kind, diligent, and caring. He's really on top of everything. We had gotten into a car accident with someone who didn't seem to have insurance so trying to figure out how to handle the situation was daunting, but Noah's been great during every step of the way. My husband needed surgery at HSS and they incorrectly billed us for over 100k--he took care of it so quickly! I can't recommend him enough! Thank you Noah!

I was one year into my divorce case, my Ex wife had all sorts of false order of protection against me crippling my ability to even see my kids, I hadn’t seen my first son for 6 months and never met my new born until he was 3 months old. My old attorney did nothing, they were money down the drain until Adam came along, in ONLY 2 WEEKS, ADAM knew my case like the back of his hand and ready for trial where he dismantled the opposition and laid all their claims to ABSOLUTE WASTE. Adam got rid of all my Ex wife’s Phony Order of protection by proving to the judge beyond a reasonable doubt that all her claims were false. In another few months ADAM got the judge to give me interim Custody of my kids while OUR DIVORCE WENT ON for another year instead of my ex wife. This man was phenomenal, he brought my case from the grave yard literally to LIFE. IF YOU HAVE A MATRIMONIAL CASE AND SEEK THE BEST ATTORNEY NEW YORK HAS TO OFFER, look no further and congratulations because you just found him.

I hired Adam for my divorce three years ago. He gave me excellent advice and was a true confidant during that time. Fast forward three years later and he has not left my side. Continues to advice, council and guide during the most stressful time of one's life. He has worked towards my future and made sure that myself and my children's needs were met with class, grace and elegance. I can not recommend him more highly. He will fight for you, and let you know when to back down. He has taken my calls on weekends, evenings and early mornings. He is dedicated to his clients and you can rest assured Adam will do anything he can for his clients. On top of it all he happens to be a great guy, wonderful family man and a nice person. You will make the right choice should you need to higher a lawyer by hiring Adam.

I don't often write reviews but my experience with Adam through a highly contested, emotional rollercoaster of a divorce proceeding compelled me to do so. Adam's calm demeanor, steady approach to litigation and solid advice throughout the proceedings allowed me to navigate the mine field of my divorce with confidence. His pragmatic approach was much appreciated as he always communicated potential outcomes which we discussed to decide the best way forward. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I NEEDED to hear. Adam excels in his deep knowledge of matrimonial proceedings, custody issues and is especially adept at finances. I highly recommend securing Adam's services so that you can have the piece of mind of having a true professional on your side through one of the most stressful situations in life. I wouldn't have successfully made it through my situation without his help and advice.

I researched quite a few firms before deciding on Denlea & Carton, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. They surpassed my expectations in every respect. They were kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They treated my case as if it was their own, and never backed down from the fight with the defendant until they obtained an incredible result for me. There is a difference between law firms, and I’m glad I took the time to realize it. I would recommend Jim and Jeff (and everyone else who helped me) without hesitation. They’re terrific!
