My experience with Shapiro Legal Group PLLC WAS GREAT. I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

I had the most incredible experience being a client at Hamilton Clarke. Phil, in particular, not only handled my case with the utmost grace and professionalism, he also gave me the confidence in knowing that I had the support that I needed. Through every step of my legal case, I trusted that Phil, as well as other members of the firm were really there for me. They were easily accessible, made sure I fully understood what my process would look like, and fully committed to seeing things through for me. During one of the most toughest times that I've experienced in my life, Phil brought so much positivity to a situation that seemed so negative at the time. I was represented by not only an amazing attorney, but a very thorough, sharp, compassionate, go the extra mile human being, that I recommend to anyone who needed support. Thank you for all of your help on my case!

Phil is one excellent lawyer. He helped me get out and resolve a complex legal matter that lasted for several years. Once Phil was on the case I saw results and the issue got resolved. Phil is not only a brilliant attorney, sharp and always on point but he is also a great guy and I always feel confident when he handles my legal affairs. Alongside Phil I want to mention the entire team and especially Carl Forbes who represented me on a sell of a RE property and did a highly professional work for me! If you want the best service and expertise look no further than Hamilton Clarke! 5 stars in my book.

Collaborating with Adam and his assistant Ishwar made a horrible incident in my life turn out sooth and effortless and I am BEYOND grateful! Honestly, as a person who would have never thought I would’ve needed a lawyer, I dont know how things would have turned out if it weren’t for Adam. He had called me at the right time to take on my case. I was doing alot of calling around town and had just gotten off the phone with one lawyer who had zero confidence in herself , gave me no hope, and was absolutely no help. Adam was the complete opposite. His aggressive and positive efforts assured me that there was light at the end of the tunnel and that everything was going to be okay. He was confident the entirety of my case and was extremely thorough! He made sure no details went untouched and made sense of everything turning my entire case around! I’ll say it again, I am beyond grateful to Adam and his team! I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who is in need of legal support to come here! The Best of the Best!

After my 5-year-old son sustained a head injury at school due to negligence, I turned to Mr. Scott Gilman for help. The incident not only terrified me but also caused my son significant trauma. As a mother, all I want is for my child to be safe, and schools have a responsibility to ensure that safety. Mr. Scott Gilman advocated tirelessly for my son’s right to justice, even when my case was initially dismissed by many. He was thorough, dedicated, and kept me informed every step of the way. Such commitment and compassion are rare, and his hard work ultimately led to a successful outcome. I am deeply grateful to have found someone so passionate about fighting for my child’s well-being. Mr. Scott Gilman is someone I trust completely and would recommend without hesitation.

If NYC chose this woman to be a judge... I thought, gee, I could choose her to be a lawyer. And there are no regrets. Easy going, intelligent, she's a NY City gal, I'm a little upstate, and she went out of her way to meet up when it was important. They don't make them like that, she's a role model in my book.

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries.
So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good.
This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing.
I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured.
The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians.
Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted.
If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip.

Really 4.5 stars. Through 4 years (all while I was overseas) of estate discovery, filings, depositions, delays and litigation, I am very appreciative that I had Regina (and her firm) as my advocates through a very stressful and frustrating process. I think Regina knows the law backwards and forwards, is very personable and I always appreciated her steadfast manner, experience & beliefs about how the system really works. We locked horns occasionally as I can be idealistic while she probably saved me a couple of more years of litigation and a good chunk of money.

We worked with this form on 2 separate cases, both with its own complications and nuances. Everything was accurate and timely and well communicated.

It's a hard pill to swallow when you come to a point where you must debate on whether you should file for bankruptcy or not. After weighing all possible options, I decided to file and was referred to Robert Fox. It had started as an initial phone call with quick questions regarding your income, your debt and your expenses. This is what they call the Means test. After answering all the questions, I was told I was a "good" candidate to file. We then proceeded to schedule a future date to talk again going into further details about my debt and expenses. What was really nice for me was i asked if we should talk over the phone or meet in person. Robert said it was my preference and really didn't mind if I chose either way. He understood that people were busy and couldn't always make time to travel to his office. However, he did suggest that meeting in person would be more personable. That right away made me feel a bit more relieved during the process. It gave me a sense of security in knowing he wanted to do his job and do it right. And if it meant putting a face to a file, then i was all for it.
On my office visit, I was greeted by Iris at the front desk. (Please pay attention to her. She is another instrumental person in the process). Very pleasant and nice lady. After meeting with Robert and getting all the things done during our discussion, Iris gave me papers to look over and sign and gave me my list of things to do over the next couple of days. She also told me she would be in contact with me from time to time til my hearing. And in the days leading up to my hearing, she always gave me detailed instructions on everything and anything. Don't worry, Robert was always available for me whenever I had any questions.
Now one thing before I end my review. You, as the client, must do everything asked of you by Robert and Iris if you want the whole process to go smoothly and without a hitch. If you do your part, and do it right, they can do theirs correctly.
Robert and Iris, thank you for everything. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you again.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

I absolutely loved working with the Alcorn team, Sophie, Vanessa, Kate and everyone else. Immigration is a personal and emotional journey, there is no other firm that treats it as such.
One thing that certainly sets them apart is their responsiveness. During this time of anxiety, the team including Sophie always responded within a day, which is unbelievable. Highly recommend them for your case.
The quality and attention to detail on their petition reflects in their results. Choosing Alcorn was probably the best decision I have made.

There are pauses, and then there are telling pauses. I heard the second type a couple of years ago after police came to my door to ask a few questions about my Internet habits. Harmless, friendly questions, but laced with suspicion. I immediately contacted Mr. Becker. (I had his name from a highly regarded attorney in family law...he described Mr. Becker as a "real killer.") Mr. Becker told me in consultation that if the police came again, not to answer questions but refer them to him. In a day or two, a female officer called me on my home telephone and said she wanted to enter my apartment to inspect my "devices." I told her she would have to speak to my attorney. "Who is it?" she demanded, After I said "Gary Becker," came the pregnant pause. About a year pregnant. Then she muttered something that sounded like “Forget it,” and hung up! This was a big relief. There was nothing amiss on my devices, but I worried about a terrible hassle and planted evidence. Two years have passed and I've had no more scary calls or visits. Mr. Becker's very name, it turns out, is mighty medicine.

Simone has a huge knowledge of US immigration and will tell you straight if you qualify or not, no wate or money and time. I know many law offices and I think that Simone is one of the best or maybe the best. I highly recommend him. He’s also very friendly and listen the clients concerns and that makes a huge difference. He works fast and answers very fast. Thanks again Simone for your great job.

I cannot recommend Sophia and her team highly enough for their exceptional legal services. Truly. My family faced a challenging immigration situation that had been stalled for years, despite numerous consultations and failed attempts with other lawyers.
From the moment I contacted Sophia, the process felt different. The initial consultation was affordable and incredibly valuable, as she made sure we got our money’s worth. She took the time to listen to our concerns, and after researching our situation, she returned for a follow-up consultation to outline a clear strategy. Her understanding of navigating government entities and working within the system was truly impressive.
What stood out to me was the clarity and transparency of the entire process. Sophia provided a detailed contract outlining expectations, ensuring we knew exactly what to anticipate without any surprises. Additionally, her tech-savvy approach, including communication through a secure portal, made it easy to keep track of our conversations and share necessary documents safely.
Thanks to Sophia and her team, we achieved a successful outcome that allowed us to reconnect with family after 30 years! I sound like a broken record and feel like I'm shilling, but I wholeheartedly recommend Sophia to anyone seeking legal assistance. Her ability to speak Spanish also made the process easier for my family. We truly had a fantastic experience.
Thank you so much Sophia and team.

What an Appeals Lawyer Can Do for You
An appeals lawyer specializes in representing clients in appellate courts, challenging or defending lower court decisions. If you believe that a legal error was made during your trial or that the court’s decision was unjust, an appeals lawyer can help you appeal the ruling to a higher court. They work to identify mistakes made during the trial, such as improper application of law, exclusion of key evidence, or jury misconduct. On the other hand, if you're defending a favorable judgment, an appeals lawyer can help protect the decision from being overturned.
Appeals lawyers don’t retry the case but instead focus on legal arguments and procedural issues to convince the appellate court to either overturn, modify, or uphold the lower court’s decision.
When Should I Hire an Appeals Lawyer?
Hiring an appeals lawyer is necessary when you are involved in a legal appeal, either as the appellant (the party appealing the case) or the appellee (the party defending the lower court’s ruling). Common situations in which you should hire an appeals lawyer include:
- Appealing a conviction or ruling: If you’ve been convicted in a criminal case or lost a civil case and believe the decision was based on legal errors or improper procedures, an appeals lawyer can review the case and file an appeal on your behalf.
- Challenging a sentence: In criminal cases, if you feel that the sentence is excessively harsh or not in line with legal standards, an appeals lawyer can work to reduce or modify the sentence.
- Defending a lower court ruling: If the opposing party has filed an appeal to overturn a favorable ruling, an appeals lawyer can help defend the judgment and argue that the lower court’s decision should be upheld.
- Complex legal issues: If your case involves complicated legal issues or interpretations of the law, an appeals lawyer can provide the necessary expertise to argue those points effectively before an appellate court.
- Reviewing trial errors: Appeals lawyers can examine whether mistakes such as jury misconduct, improper exclusion or admission of evidence, or incorrect jury instructions occurred during the trial.
You should hire an appeals lawyer as soon as you decide to appeal or are informed that the other party is appealing the case, as appellate procedures are time-sensitive.
What Does an Appeals Lawyer Do?
An appeals lawyer provides specialized legal services to challenge or defend a lower court decision. Their role focuses on legal arguments, reviewing the trial record, and persuading the appellate court to either reverse or uphold the ruling. They can:
- Review the trial record: Appeals lawyers meticulously review transcripts, evidence, and rulings from the original trial to identify any legal errors or procedural mistakes that could be grounds for appeal.
- Prepare and file briefs: Appeals lawyers write legal briefs that present persuasive arguments to the appellate court. These briefs focus on the legal errors made during the trial and how they affected the outcome.
- Present oral arguments: In many appeals, lawyers present oral arguments before a panel of judges, explaining why the lower court’s decision should be reversed or upheld based on legal principles.
- Monitor case law developments: Appeals lawyers stay updated on changes in the law and precedents set by higher courts, which can be crucial in shaping the arguments they present during the appeal.
- Provide legal advice on the likelihood of success: Appeals lawyers can offer a realistic assessment of your chances of winning the appeal based on the legal errors and evidence from the trial.
How Are Appeals Lawyers Paid?
Appeals lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the appeal and the amount of work required to prepare briefs and present arguments. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many appeals lawyers charge by the hour due to the significant amount of research, writing, and preparation involved in appeals. Hourly rates can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
- Flat fee: For some straightforward appeals, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the work necessary to complete the appeal.
- Retainer fee: In complex or high-stakes appeals, a lawyer may require a retainer, an upfront payment that covers the initial stages of the appeal. The lawyer then bills against this retainer for ongoing work.
It's important to discuss fees and costs upfront with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand the financial commitment involved.
How Much Does an Appeals Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an appeals lawyer varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of work involved. General cost estimates include:
- Straightforward appeals: For simpler appeals, such as those involving minor legal errors, fees can range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Complex appeals: Appeals that involve complicated legal issues, multiple grounds for appeal, or high-stakes outcomes can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 or more, especially if the case requires extensive legal research, brief writing, and oral arguments.
- Hourly rates: Many appeals lawyers charge hourly rates ranging from $200 to $600 per hour, with higher rates often associated with more experienced attorneys or particularly challenging cases.
Before proceeding with your appeal, it’s crucial to ask for a clear estimate of the costs involved so you can budget appropriately.
Top Questions to Ask an Appeals Lawyer
Before hiring an appeals lawyer, it’s essential to ask questions to ensure they are well-suited for your case and that you understand the appeals process. Important questions include:
-
What experience do you have with appeals?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience handling appellate cases, particularly in the area of law relevant to your case (e.g., criminal, civil, family, etc.). -
How do you charge for appeals?
Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a retainer, and request an estimate of the total costs for handling your appeal. -
What is the likelihood of success for my appeal?
A good appeals lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case’s strengths and weaknesses and the chances of winning the appeal. -
How long will the appeal process take?
Ask for an estimate of how long the appeal process might take, from filing the initial briefs to a final decision by the appellate court. -
Will you personally handle my appeal?
In larger law firms, junior attorneys or legal assistants may handle some of the research or drafting. Clarify who will be responsible for preparing and arguing your case. -
What is your approach to handling appeals?
Some lawyers may be more inclined to focus on procedural issues, while others emphasize broader legal arguments. Make sure the lawyer’s approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of an Appeals Lawyer
To ensure that you’re hiring a reputable appeals lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for appellate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in appellate law and have successfully handled appeals similar to yours.
- Check client reviews and testimonials: Look for client feedback on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s track record and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their expertise and success in handling appeals.
- Look for recognition in appellate law: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers (AAAL) or awards and recognition in appellate law can indicate a lawyer’s expertise in this specialized area.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an appeals lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Trial transcripts and court records: The lawyer will need a complete record of the original trial, including transcripts, motions, exhibits, and the final judgment or order.
- Legal briefs from the trial: If any briefs or motions were filed during the trial, bring copies so the appeals lawyer can review the legal arguments that were presented.
- Written decision or verdict: Bring the court’s written ruling, verdict, or decision so the lawyer can identify any potential errors or issues to raise on appeal.
- Questions about the appeal process: Write down any questions you have about the appeal’s timeline, costs, and potential outcomes.
- List of potential legal errors: If you believe specific mistakes were made during the trial (e.g., improper evidence, legal misinterpretations), provide a list of those issues.
Being well-prepared for your consultation allows the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide the best guidance on how to proceed with your appeal.
