Attorney Xandy Duffy and Paralegal Jessica were absolutely wonderful to work with! The confusing world of law can be overwhelming and scary but they both helped me through each step of the process which eased my anxiety. They answered all my questions and the collaboration made me feel like a valued team member throughout the process.
Thank you so much for all of your dedication and assistance!

Please avoid The Prince Law Group, LLC, very unprofessional, dishonest and pilfering lawyers. I hired Wendy in 2021 for a Family Court matter I was assigned a Real Estate Lawyer. Wendy there assigned another lawyer who then took sides against me in the matter. Because you Wendy I am still in Family Court trying exercise my rights as a Father. God don't sleep!

Was on the other side of a transaction and couldn’t have been more disappointed. Matt thought it was OK/moral to send contracts out to multiple offers while knowing the real estate agent accepted one offer and not letting the counter parties know that was happening. A very poor communicator and would not respond to inquiry’s after our lawyer was made aware that multiple contracts were sent out. Inappropriate and not someone I would trust doing business with.

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. I believe there may be opportunities for improvement, especially when assisting new buyers, particularly within the Hispanic community.
I do not recommend him

I hired Bari to be my attorney for the sale of my Yonkers co-operative apartment. The sale dragged out over months as one thing after another went wrong. Bari was patient, available, good humored and competent throughout the process. Without her support I would have been lost. I would recommend her highly!!

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.

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.

Attorney Perrone brings an extremely high level of competence, intelligence, knowledge, and just overall compassion to every facet of his work. Absolutely a gem of a person and I HIGHLY recommend him should you need any sort of legal representation, assistance, or even just advice.

Mathew Perrone resolved my case in just 2 court appearances. He was able to work out a great offer, due to his commendable character and professional demeanor. Ultimately, the charge was reduced to a simple violation, after I was unjustly threatened with probation for several months prior--under a "different" lawyer who was incompetent.
I would recommend Mathew Perrone to friends and family, without hesitation.
I am extremely grateful for his expertise and professionalism.

I spoke with Mathew Perrone, Esq. After consulting with several other attorneys about my pending DWI case in a Westchester county criminal court. I found Mr. Perrone very knowledgeable, and he also has an empathic side to him that the other attorneys I spoke to didn’t possess. Thankfully my gut was correct, and not only did he expose issues with the case, but I ended up walking away with a none criminal disposition and a new friend. I can’t thank you enough of all you did for me and my family.

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.

I had an incident to where i was injured, and did not know much about civil law. Sam guided me every step of the way and fought for me side by side to get the best possible outcome for me. He did not let insurance low ball me, and held out for that best possible income. If i have any other incidents, he is my attorney.

Having recently been through a difficult and expensive divorce, my feeling about legal representation was jaded. Sameer changed everything. His attention to detail was unmatched and his ability to do extraordinary work independently while keeping me informed was different than anything I've ever experienced. In the end, I received more than I ever expected. More importantly, Sameer listened to me and I felt like he was on my side. I can't say enough great things about him and I would recommend him to anyone.

After almost 20 years of service to my employer I found myself in need of legal advice. I reached out to a friend who is a highly regarded Attorney in Westchester County N.Y. for advice. Although employment law is not his specialty, he recommended that I contact Howard Schragin of Sapir-Schragin LLP. Without hesitation I took his advice and contacted Howard. Mr. Schragin took the time to listen to me and understand my situation and frustrations. He offered his advice and painted a clear and concise picture of the law and possible considerations and outcomes. I must tell you that he made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. With Howard by my side I was able to make good decisions based on his great advice to elicit a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. Not only does Howard fully engage with his clients he really tries to relate to their situation. If you are in need of legal advice, related to an employment or workplace situation, you owe it to yourself to contact Howard Schragin for a consultation. It will be the best call you can possibly make.

Howard represented me and my spouse in unrelated employment matters. He listened patiently during our consultations and asked insightful questions before explaining our options clearly and offering his recommendations. He took the time to answer our questions and incorporated our feedback. Howard gave us sound advice each time and facilitated fair resolutions in the face of very serious extenuating circumstances. I could go on, but suffice it to say we would recommend him without reservation to anyone struggling with issues at work.

My husband and I hired Richa Puri in 2019 to assist us with our marriage-based green card interview. Richa was an exceptional and invaluable resource throughout our immigration proceedings in 2019.
During our sessions, Richa consistently demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication to our success. She maintained honesty and transparency about our chances of success, which proved instrumental in our preparation. Richa diligently collected crucial legal and financial documentation and meticulously prepared us for the interview, anticipating potential questions. As a result, we successfully passed the interview and were granted a conditional green card.
A few years later, I initiated the process of removing the condition on my green card myself. However, I received a request for additional evidence from USCIS. Consequently, I decided to hire Richa once again to assist me in responding to this request. Within a couple of months, Richa helped me compile a comprehensive collection of new evidence, which I promptly submitted to USCIS. She then meticulously prepared me for the interview, providing in-depth preparation for both straightforward and challenging questions. My petition was approved a few days later, allowing me to immediately apply for citizenship.
In October 2024, I officially became an American citizen, marking the culmination of my immigration journey, all thanks to Richa Puri’s exceptional guidance and support.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything Richa has done for me.

Richa assisted me during a very delicate time of my life as an immigrant in the USA, and I deeply appreciate the professional and humane way she dealt my legal issue and personal insecurities on the matter. We kept in constant communication throughout my 2-year-long process, and Richa was always very clear and direct when advising me on the next steps of the process. My issue has been resolved, and I am happy to say I will call her office again in the future when it's time to apply for citizenship.

As a first time home buyer, trying to navigate purchasing a co-op in New York, Louis was crucial in informing me about all the nuances and deciphering all the legal jargon to help me feel comfortable along the process. Although it was a long road to get to closing, Lou stayed patient and helped keep me calm even though I'm certainly prone to freaking out about everything. I can't thank Lou enough for handling everything pre, during, and after the whole co-op purchase process! It really made all the difference in making my first real estate purchase a positive experience.

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.

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.

I am incredibly happy with my results and very pleased with my experience with the team at Filippatos. Gerry and Theodore Filiippatos took my case, and I felt very confident with them by my side. They walked me through the process, and always kept me informed. On the day of our mediation, I took a backseat and they fought for me with confidence. I was incredibly impressed by the way they both were prepared to overcome any adversity. The mediation was a success in my favor. Falisha Perry is also an incredible part of the team.
