Mr Singer exceeded all of my expectations as a client. I was particularly impressed with his response time to questions and thoroughness in following through with necessary steps and procedures. He proved to be knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected within the legal circles of WNY. I give myunqualified endorsement for Mr Singer serving myself or any other clients in the future. Contacting Mr Singer with my legal needs was the best decision I could’ve made; it led to a positive and ideal outcome for my situation. Thank you, Mr Singer.

This lawyer works hard for his /her clients in the goal of winning the case. He doesn't put money first like other lawyers I met before .His cost is negotiable and affordable. Helped to win my CPS case and early Probation release. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with some cases to reachout to him before contacting with others .

I would definitely recommend Mr.Singer if you’re looking for great legal advice, and someone that is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with.
I would leave 10 stars if I could!!
I cannot thank him enough

William Mattar accepted my difficult case after
other law firms refused it, due to me being an
"eggshell client." From start to finish, Megan
always provided value added service by
responding to my questions and/or concerns
expeditiously; by the close of business or within 24 hours.
As I conclude, I would like to thank William Matter, Megan, and their team of consummate, dedicated and engaged professionals. You all are truly AWESOME.
Remember, It is not the final settlement that
matters, as it is the amount of professionalism that is priceless!
Don't hesitate, call 444-4444. You will not regret it!

I was involved in an auto accident and the driver of the other car had run a stop sign. He then T-Boned us, my son and had been taken to a local hospital and my wife was fine.
When reading the police report we seen that the driver that hit us also had the same insurance company as us. I then became worried that the insurance company would not be fair and cover my medical expenses and repairs needed on my car. After speaking with some family members they recommended hiring a attorney. I then called William Mattar. I met with one of the attorneys and decided it would be best if retained their service’s. I was not happy about this because I deal with attorneys at work all the time. Most attorneys will never call you back, keep you up to date with the case. The only time they call is when they want more money. NOT William Mattar my attorney Casey was Great she called with updates questions and more. Her assistant Kathy was even better she call me weekly in the beginning then COVID hit and my doctors slowed down the process but Kathy kept calling me with updates and not long after we had a settlement offer and after some negotiations we settled. THIS FIRM WAS GREAT! I hope I never need a lawyer again bu.t if I do I will call William Mattar.

We engaged Gina DePrima to create a will and develop a plan for our adult children to follow in the future. Gina was incredibly helpful with her informative approach to creating a detailed path to execute the disbursement of our possessions. She is a GREAT listener and very detail oriented. We highly recommend her for these important family issues.

We recently worked with Gina DePrima to set up our trust, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The process of creating a trust can be overwhelming and confusing, but Gina made it as simple as possible for us. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every detail, ensuring we understood everything clearly. Gina was always available to answer any and all questions we had, no matter how big or small. Her professionalism, expertise, and approachable manner made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for someone to assist with your trust, Gina is the one to choose!

I was very nervous about going to court. A friend of mine recommended Michael Seibert for an attorney. So glad I took his advice. Michael was so quick to get back to me, walked me through every step of the process. I was so relaxed going into court and was able to get things done the way I wanted and needed. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking.

I worked with Emily Spitzer on a family law issue for about 3 months. Previously I worked with about 15 attorneys in my lifetime in Ontario and NYS. Within the scope of my experience, I rate Emily as the top 5%. My experience was all positive. Emily is highly professional, very punctual, does not make empty promises, does thorough legal research, has excellent writing style, and what was very important for me, -- she has a positive and well-balanced attitude toward the client. I can honestly recommend her and will be happy to work with her again if a need presents itself. I am independent in my review and motivated by gratitude for the work well done only.

Cheryl was a calming influence in my divorce proceedings. She takes the time to listen and understand your position. I appreciated her candor and expertise. She will lobby on your behalf to attain those things that are important to you. I always, always felt better after speaking with.....or meeting with Cheryl. She gave me the confidence that "everything would work out!" I also appreciated her honesty in setting expectations. In a time of personal chaos Cheryl helped navigate through to an amicable ending. She was able to work with opposing counsel and move thru the process quickly and expeditiously. After all was complete and our professional relationship is over - I now consider Cheryl a friend. The highest recommendation possible!

I recently went to Berzer/Wolf Law Firm after the lawyer I was using wasn’t able to negotiate with the opposing attorney. My friend had highly recommended Ms. Cheryl Berzer. Immediately, she took the time to listen to my concerns and questions. She gave me a fair estimate of the cost for her services and explained her billing procedure. Cheryl Berzer answered every question I asked, gave me direct advice and explained the process that I would be navigating through. She also got back to me right away if I needed to inquire about an issue. She was able to negotiate and avoid a trial for me in less than a month, after a year and a half with a high profile firm. Ms. Berzer was excellent in all regards. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

Mr. Paul Wolf was an excellent attorney. Very rare you find an attorney that works immediately on your case. They take forever and if you don't reach them, they won't reach you. Mr. Wolf was professional and knows his laws very well. I was very, very pleased with him. I would highly recommend his service.

The first time I spoke to Paul was in December 2016 about my divorce, after consulting with him. I hired Paul wolf to start my divorce process. it was a bit complicated because I live in the Netherlands but got married in New York. Paper work took a bit longer then expected but I got my divorce in 9 months which is still a good time frame. He always answers emails. it was easy to make an appointment to talk on the phone. I would defently recommend Paul Wolf.

I was blindsided and lost when my wife filed for divorce. Brian was extremely knowledgeable and guided me through the entire process while staying in communication the entire way. He is a straight shooter and knows what he's doing. He made sure I was treated fairly and fought for me and my family. I can't explain how much everything he did is appreciated. Thank you Brian!

I have had the pleasure of working with this law office for my immigration paperwork for the past 11 years. They have been efficient & understanding starting from my H1B visa to finally becoming an American citizen. They took the time to explain each step in detail and provided updates in a timely manner. I knew that I had a true advocate on my side. I highly recommend Emilie Gough to anyone in need of immigration assistance. Her expertise and dedication truly make a difference.

My case started out with the public defender. He didn't spend five minutes with the DA before he came back and tried to give me some deal that didn't even seem like a deal at all. I called around to other attorneys, and it felt like they were asking me to sign my life away just to get them to go to court. I was in a panic. I met with Mr. Becker and he was honest and upfront. He spent more time with me in one meeting than I could have ever expected. He was very reasonable and worked with me on fees. What's more is that he kept going back to court and fighting on my behalf. In the end, I got a much better deal than I started with.

I highly recommend Peter. He responded in a timely manner regarding questions I had about my finances. He provided a 30 minute, no charge consultation for me. He made recommendations about moving forward without actually filing for bankruptcy. I found Peter to be extremely helpful, and knowledgeable regarding bankruptcy laws and how consumers are protected in New York State.

What bankruptcy attorney doesn't include a broken tenancy lease in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Unless I'm "mistaken."
Perhaps all the money I paid them, (why is there a RED FLAG on the bankruptcy court documents. INDICATING THAT I QUALIFIED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS A POOR PERSON,) should be returned?
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I COULD'VE RECEIVED A PRO BONO COURT APPOINTED LAWYER, AS I AM AND WAS A SERVICE CONNECTED DISABLED VETERAN DISPLACED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA 2004 HURRICANE SEASON...ALONG WITH BEING INDIGENT!
HOW DOES THAT APPEAR?
I WONDER, DOES THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE POLICE AND THEIR INSPECTORS' NOTICE WHEN MR. GRUBEA TRIES TO SOLICIT POTENTIAL CLIENTS VIA USPS?
WITHOUT INDICATING ON THE ARTICLE OF MAIL THAT'S AN..."ADVERTISEMENT?"
I SUPPOSE WHEN THE LETTERS IFP AND THE WORDS RED FLAGS ON THE TOP OF THE DOCUMENT YOUR PRACTICE'S LAWYERS FILED ARE CLEARLY EVIDENT... WHO'S LYING TO WHO?

Michelle Bullock is an incredibly thoughtful, professional, and diligent attorney. I couldn't be happier that I found her name when I needed some recent legal work done. She was unfailingly conscientious not only in helping me execute the legal niceties but also in ensuring my best interests and values were represented. Her work was absolutely top-notch, and her professionalism did not come at the cost of compassion; she kept a human touch as she helped me negotiate a potentially fraught situation. I highly recommend her for any legal needs but especially those where tact, professionalism, and skill are necessary in equal measure.

We consulted with Brian after being told by another Lawyer Grandparent Visitation is never awarded in our circumstance, and not to waste our time and money. Brian gave us suggestions on things to try with our son and daughter in law to resolve the issues before a petition was filed. We did retain Brian and at that time he was confident we would get time with our grandson. We did go to trial and Brian was excellent all the way through. He responds to calls and emails and provides answers very quickly He is very thorough and meticulous. We were awarded visitation with our grandson beginning in August and actually received more time than we expected. Everything Brian does is for a reason and to help your case so listen to the expert! He is very delicate with family situations and keeps things as kind and calm as possible.
Having that first visit with our grandson was amazing and we have Brian to thank for it! My husband and I highly recommend him..

Brian Welsh was highly recommended to me by lawyers in other fields. I entered his preliminary conference with much trepidation. He instantly put my mind at rest, listened intently to what I had to say and understood from day one that I did not wish to punish my partner. Our conferences and phone calls throughout the following months were cheerful and professional. I was given good advice, told what was going to be possible and, in a gentle way, told what could not be achieved. The speed with which he dealt with my instructions and passed them on was sometimes alarming but the entire process of my divorce was very much quicker than I had anticipated and I am still friends with my ex-wife. I can and will thoroughly recommend Brian to any of my friends and colleagues as an honest, extremely competent and knowledgeable professional.

I was referred to Jeff by a family member who is familiar with him and has been for at least two decades. The issue at hand is still in process, and as such I will leave out details except to say that Jeff made himself available immediately and completely, listens very well, asks questions that help round out and complete the scenario in question from all sides, lays out what the likely course of events will be while still being upfront about the fact that there are no guarantees, as well as what is expected if the result is or is not what you hoped for. To date, his communication has been prompt, professional, and very clear as to what he needs from me and what the next step is likely to be. He makes himself available for questions and shows utmost respect for the mental and emotional stress that brings one to an attorney in the first place, especially when you are not the type to have ever considered doing it before! Such an approach also shows complete respect for the time and individual struggles and issues of the client. Jeff has been nothing but professional and expedient, and no matter the outcome of the case I would not hesitate to contact him again.

Frank handled my case and I have nothing but positive words to express about his services. During the initial consultation, they actually listened to my situation and was empathetic, unlike other attorneys who only want to see if they can make money off your case. He answered all of my many questions and calmed my nerves about the highly stressful matter. Frank genuinely cares about his clients, not just money. As far as fees, he’s extremely flexible, offering payment plans tailored to what you can afford to pay. His rates truly are the best you can find in the area and the quality of this firm is top tier. Once officially retained, he gets right to work on your case/matter and keep an open line of communication if you have any questions or concerns. Frank was especially thorough in making sure I was up to date with any and all changes or updates. He was able to secure a monthly payment plan for my debt which was affordable for me and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! I 10/10 recommend Frank to anyone experiencing any kind of debt lawsuit or matter. He truly advocates your best interest, which is very difficult to find amongst other debt defense attorneys. I could not have made a better decision choosing Graham & Borgese to represent me.
