I was facing felony charges based on exaggeration and lies surrounding an actual lesser offense. I was panicked, confused, and not in a good head space. Robert Singer listened, understood the situation, and worked with me despite my mental health problems due to sudden cessation of treatment (due to the charges from my temporary provider).
He walked me through everything step by step. He set appropriate expectations that he inevitably exceeded. He helped me feel calm and in control through the entire process. He was fair, reasonable, and up front with his pricing.
My case was settled better than I expected and I owe it all to his experience and understanding.
I highly recommend Robert Singer. He will get you the best outcome possible, and works tirelessly to exceed his own expectations.

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.

Hired Mr. Meyer to handle a distasteful case for my family. He took care of everything long distance and during the pandemic. Was professional, down to earth, practical and most importantly, did what he was supposed to do. During a time when deceit, falsehood and incompetence seem as common as dirt, Mr. Meyer was someone we could trust and rely on. Would hire him again if need be.

She doesn't sugarcoat anything and she doesn't make promises she can't keep. You know what you need to do and She if you have questions she gets back to you quickly. When kids are involved things are harder and more complicated and Gina helps you work through it.
I hired Gina for my divorce in June 2017 because of other reviewers who said she knew what she talking about.

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.

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 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.

After having a lapse of good judgement and making the decision to drive after a few beers, I was pulled over in a small town for crossing the fog line. While crossing the fog line isn't actually a violation, it's something you can get pulled over for on pretext, and if you've been drinking, it goes down hill from there VERY quickly. At any rate, I was charged with DWI, barely drunk by the numbers, but nevertheless, drunk by the numbers at .10 BAC. I was put in contact with Mr. Seibert who not only wanted to know the facts of my case, but my "story" as well. I've been driving on the road for some 43 years with only 1 speeding ticket on my record from when I was 20. Mr. Seibert knew he wasn't representing a career drunk driver, but rather a guy who made an error in judgement on one January evening. During my first consultation, Mr. Seibert asked me to tell my side of the story which I did. He put me at ease, not with false promises, but with the assurance that he would do everything he could to limit the damage to my record. Subsequently, the paperwork from my arrest arrived on his desk and the "stories" were very similar. I wasn't speeding, didn't hit anything or anyone, in fact, I truly believed I wasn't drunk. I had been driving for 20 minutes and felt fine. The police obviously disagreed. At any rate, I asked Mr. Seibert to fight my case as opposed to taking the plea deal offered by the district attorney. While I could have been driving MUCH sooner by taking the plea, I still would have had it on my record as well as had no access to Canada without going through an extended and expensive process. Not to mention higher insurance premiums for God knows how long. My case went on for 9 months being that it was a small town court where the DA only rides through once a month, and we had a couple of unforeseen delays too. Moral of the story... if you've been drinking, DON'T drive. And if you make the mistake of driving after a few drinks and get pulled over, contact Mr. Seibert. There are no miracle cures for having a lapse of judgement, but I assure you Mr. Seibert will explore every avenue available to limit the damage done. In my case, I was lucky for two things. One was having Mr. Seibert representing me, the other was having been stopped using questionable "probable cause". Mr. Seibert was able to show that the stop was unconstitutional which resulted in the suppression of any evidence gained after the stop. And without evidence, the prosecution cannot proceed. I hope I NEVER need criminal defense services again, but if I do, Mr. Seibert is the attorney I would call. You don't just get an incredible attorney when you hire Mr. Seibert, you also get a kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable advocate and dare I say, friend.

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.

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.

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.

I hired Brendan Gilbert in April 2011 for a speeding ticket and my license was also facing suspension. I emailed several lawyers and Mr. Gilbert responded quickly and his fees were very reasonable. He explained everything to me regarding the court date, how fees were calculated, and the steps he would take to handle my case. All my questions were answered promptly and professionally.
Overall I would highly recommend Brendan Gilbert. He is friendly, professional, truly cares about his clients and made me fell very comfortable about my case.

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.

Where to start Eli, is just amazing.... have a question she has an answer. Her and her husband John not only help me escape a toxic marriage they become friends. Eli was so wonderful, helpful, caring, and determined to help me that even after my divorce I make it a point to check on her and her family. You can praise a lawyer for doing their job, you can find a great attorney, but it’s not everyday you find both and a friend. I highly recommend if your having marital issues you give these fine people a call. I promise you won’t regret it. Thank you Eli for everything but mostly for the support when things were rough. God bless you and your family, be safe, and we’ll talk again soon Sunshine. :)

I found Attodrney Casey to be honest, reliable, keen on the nuances of the law plus humane and tender hearted. In the case we shared he went well out of his way to help a client and her child. He even brought the child to my house for a professional evaluation and moral support when actual relatives were unable to come. He is not a "meter reader" attorney, clocking hours and charging hard and fast. In fact he is the opposite. I have dealt with "meter reader" lawyers who dump you or refuse service till their payment is made. This is not Attorney Casey. Anyone would be fortunate to have this man representing their wellbeing and welfare. He is reflective, not impulsive and he thinks through potential "unintended consequences" of rash decisions that many in legal battles are tempted to make. He is smart and worth being listened to.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
