Elliot Katsenlson is the best lawyer i've seen so far.
Not only did he visit us at our apartment, but he suggested that we use services of best doctors and really helped us to get prompt responses from insurance adjuster to get approval on medical treatment.
All phone calls are returned promptly, and all questions are answered in very professional manner. And no detail is missed or too unimportant!
Thank you, Elliot!

I have known William "Bill" Dedes for over 30 years, beginning with my first real estate transaction in 1981. Since that time he has been there for all of our families legal matters. Bill has always been available, easy to contact whenever we needed his services, and he always takes the time to listen to our concerns and never rushed to fully explain our matters.
Additionally you will find his staff to be very professional and second to none.
Not only has Bill demonstrated his abilities as an excellent legal attorney, but over the years he has become a very close friend.
I highly recommend Bill Dedes for all your legal matters.

Attorney Dedes helped me settle a dispute I had with a customer of my business. He worked with me and the other lawyer to arrive at an equitable settlement and procedures to avert future disputes. He then set up an LLC for the business. His office is managed by a highly competent paralegal as well.

Mr. Shimko is an excellent attorney who I have worked with for over 2 years. He has worked for me personally drawing up agreements, he is the Secretary for the company I own and he has done consulting work for it.

Mr Shimko is an excellent lawyer. He is well versed in many different aspects of the law, does a lot of research to make sure he covers all angles of the matter he is handling for you, and has years of experience working in the courthouse system. For over five years he has counseled me on a variety of issues, including helping me with the formation of my LLC; he expertly drafted and filed all the papers and walked me through the entire process with ease. Mr Shimko then helped my friend form his company. He also does some work helping out the board of my mother’s company. He is honest and thoughtful as a person, and a knowledgeable lawyer that knows just what to do in every situation.

Brian Lee is quite personable, but appears a bit hesitant to discuss my case with me and to share information about Discovery. He seems knowledgeable and confident, although my case is only about half way to resolution. He performed very well in the Deposition session.

We were recently represented by Brian Lee in a motor vehicle accident case. We couldn't have asked for better representation. The level of professionalism was outstanding. With that level of professionalism came compassion for the person being represented. The staff that worked with Brian was equally at that level as previously described. Courteous, prompt and knowledgeable when contacted. As stated earlier, better representation could not have been acquired.

Portale/Randazzo is "without question" the highest quality criminal defense law firm in Westchester!
On behalf of a family member and close family friend, both former clients of Portale/Randazzo and in each case (non related separate matters) declined and labeled hopeless by other attorney(s) upon their introduction, Richard Portale carefully reviewed the details of each case and graciously accepted the challenges. He then guaranteed a successful outcome, fought for justice and won!
Rich and his team have an extensive knowledge of our laws and rights and they are undoubtedly committed to providing every client with the respect, privacy and attention they deserve.
Most importantly, Richard Portale is a genuinely compassionate and patient person (perhaps a rare quality in this field) making it clear that everyone should be comfortable asking/answering any questions. He and his team were very supportive throughout the process, reassuring doubts and being concerned with everyone's wellbeing, which makes the overall experience a lot less stressful!

The Law Office of Carmelia Taylor was recommended to me by a colleague, and I’m so glad I took their advice. Carmelia and her team were compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about immigration law. They made the process much easier than I expected, and I’m thrilled with the successful outcome. I can’t thank Abogada Carmelia enough for her support and highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.

I can not give enough praise to Greg Dantznan and the firm Dantznan & Dantznan. Greg was professional, compassionate, comforting, and non-judgemental from the very first moment I met him for my free consultation. When I first spoke with Greg I was at my wits end with what to do. Greg sat with me patiently and went through every option and helped me understand the direction I was able to move forward in. He made me feel relaxed and helped me understand the process, from beginning to end.
Thank you Greg, I really can't explain what you have done for our family and how amazing your firm really is. I never given reviews, ever.. But if you are reading this review and you feel lost and not sure what to do... Please take the time to meet with Greg at Dantznan & Dantznan, I promise you... It will be the best decision you could possibly make.

Greg is fantastic. When I first started exploring bankruptcy / restructuring options, I was pretty nervous and confused about what I should do.
However, Greg set my mind at ease. He clearly stated what my options were, and helped me determine the best path to take.
He was both very professional and empathetic. I am very grateful I had his help through this process.
If you are contemplating a bankruptcy filing, I highly recommend that you talk to Greg.

I never considered writing a negative review until my experience with Van Horn & Friedman, P.C. (“VH&F”). However, I feel compelled to share my story. I retained Alissa to file a petition (for privacy reasons I will not disclose the type) and to represent me throughout the associated court proceedings. Immediately upon learning of the situation, Alissa could not understand why a petition had not previously been filed. When I explained to her that I was told by the local police department that the person was too old, she said that the police do not know the law—she does. Regrettably, I retained her services.
To my dismay, I soon learned that the local police department knew what they were talking about; Alissa did not. I believe that VH&F eventually found out shortly after Alissa was unable to file the petition. However, the only response I received when inquiring about the situation was “red tape” and “you have a judge that cares.” Not acceptable explanations coming from a firm you are paying $500.00 an hour to represent you, especially considering that the judge does not have the authority to circumvent the system. I asked at least three (3) times and always received the same responses. Laughably, I was asked by a managing partner at VH&F if I was an attorney. I am not, I just don’t enjoy being taken advantage of.
I believe that VH&F’s hourly rate is way overpriced. Moreover, their retainer agreement provides for billing in fifteen (15) minute increments. My bill ran up very quickly because of sending/receiving correspondence. The problem is that Alissa was recommending services I had already tried unsuccessfully and were not related to the petition. As such, I found myself paying VH&F to explain to them that their recommendations were not appropriate for my situation after previously providing that history to her.
My takeaway: Don’t expect to receive a good product just because a business charges more than their competitors and be wary of someone’s overconfidence!

Excellent service and excellent results on my case. The lawyers at Horn Wright fight for injured car accident victims and don’t just roll over and take what the insurance company offers. I’ve had lawyers in the past that just shuffled papers. Not these guys. Definitely recommend them if you want justice on your case.

My husband and I bought a property in NYC using Mina Kennedy as our attorney. We were given her name by my son who had purchased an apartment two years earlier in the city. He said that Mina was the best part of his experience. We discovered the same. She is a talented and knowledgeable real estate attorney that really had our backs. When things got complicated with problems in the building, she made sure we knew what was going on and the potential for future assessments. When the sellers wanted an all-cash offer, we held tight with her help and completed the deal with the mortgage intact. She responded quickly to all our inquiries and reacted quickly to the realtors and the sellers’ attorney when we needed her to do so. She is whip-smart and utterly reliable. Although I have bought and sold a number of properties in two other states prior to this experience we discovered NYC real estate is an animal all its own. We needed a great attorney and we got one. Thank you, Mina!

Just WOW!!! Amazing. I had the privilege of working with Alberto Ebanks, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Unlike other lawyers, he did not try to sell me himself from our first call. From the moment he examined my case, it was clear he is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and straightforward. His military background shines through in his disciplined approach—he took the time to analyze every detail and explain the process clearly, without ever needing to sell himself. What truly impressed me was his determination to go above and beyond. He didn’t just settle for the bare minimum; he fought for the best possible outcome, one I didn’t even think was an option for my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only understanding but also committed to achieving exceptional results, Alberto Ebanks is the person to trust. I will be recommending him to all my contacts in search of legal representation. Thank you, Alberto

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
