This is the best law office in Yonkers!
Always responsive and humble to his clients!
I had a hard time to find a lawyer for my case.
Dr. Sayegh also showed me that I did nothing wrong but that company treated me badly.
It is so important to know that your lawyer is not going after money, but really care!
I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS LAW FIRM!!

Hired this attorney for a very easy case. He never returned calls. And when I did finally get in touch with him he had all the excuses. Kept my deposit and never did a thing on My case. I had to hire another attorney at the last minute. By his negligence it was very detrimental to my case. After 35 years of experience, you would expect an attorney to do what they say. This is not the case with this attorney.

Major disappointment and not recommended at all. Made us change from another personal injury attorney because we knew her socially and she swayed us to believe we had a 'slam dunk' car accident case with her as our defense. After 15 years of submitting documents, waiting, and her not returning calls, staff sent a 'we are sorry' letter.

This attorney is the worst. I suggest that if you have a case with her. Find yourself another lawyer immediately. Run for your life. She's a user. She can't keep staff and uses religion to validate her morals.

My case was with this law firm for 6 years and after many "appointments" with the court, nothing was ever resolved! The firm gave back all the documents and said they could not handle my case! Complete waste of time. Do NOT recommend at all.

When I hired Wilson Soto, I was thinking he was working for me, but not at all, he was working for the other side. When in court, he is not a responsible lawyer either. When I fire him, he did not feel ok and with all he knew about my case, he spoke to the court authority who was handle my divorce case in court and this person inmediately change his/her mind about my case. I could not even say anything to defend myself in this court.
If you respect yourself and look for a honest lawyer, do not hire Wilson Soto at all.

I was falsely accused of serious crimes. Louis Ecker represented me. He did not maintain reasonable communications with me, eg; returning calls etc. When he made a deal with an ADA without consulting me or authorization, I promptly fired him. I did hire a competent attorney that actually paid attention to me and the details of my case. I was acquitted of all charges at the end of the trial. When my "new" attorney ran into Mr. Ecker after the acquittal, Mr. Ecker told my atty "He did it, you know he did it". Thanks Louis Ecker, you do not deserve to be a member of the NYS Bar.

Attorney has staff that aparantly does everything. He is not prepped on any of his cases and is not very knowledgable when it comes to current laws as far as I can tell. He is attentive and give very vague and brief answers that is inconsistent and unsensible.

I flew to NY, had a confirmed a meeting with Lawyer Ellen Boyle who stood me up, had me standing outside her Yonkers office in 9degree weather for 1 hour in Feb.2015, I called, texted over over no response, a pattern of this lawyer EllenBoyle. My mother died June 1 - it's June 10 today, she won't turn over my mother's Will hence mom is stuck in the funeral home. Ellen Boyle is UNPROFESSIONAL, does not followup, does not return emails or calls until days after. Her work ethic as a lawyer is TERRIBLE. Ellen Boyle does not have an assistant/receptionist at her office. Ellen Boyle is a LAZY lawyer; June 2,2015 my mothers Estate lawyer called/emailed NO response but Ellen first calls my brother about the Will who is not her client; it's now June 10, we have no idea why this "lawyer" will provide my mother's Will - WHY IS SHE KEEPING MY MOTHER'S WILL? Do not hire, Ellen Boyle, she's the most unprofessional lawyer, laziest lawyer who will keep you hanging. That should scare you if you to trial and her as the lawyer.

This lawyer was assigned to represent my family member and did not even meet his client or discuss his case. Does not return calls. Having this attorney is like having no attorney at all. He's just horrible . Notice that there's no reviews or other information other then address and phone number when you look him up. When calling the number listed, you get a recording to leave messages and he NEVER responds
