I had the pleasure of working with Jason Newfield as my attorney when getting disability. I highly recommend Jason as an attorney. What impressed me most was his high level of education in the area of disability insurance, his patience and the clear path that he established for me in my effort to reach my goals. He managed the process and insurance company representatives well, resulting in me achieving my goals. I must also add that his compensation is very fair. If you are looking for disability compensation, do not go through this process alone. Let Jason be your representative. He knows how to win. Impressive

Of all the lawyers I’ve dealt with in my life Neil Flynn at Horn Wright, LLP is the only one who took the time to listen to everything I had to say and answer all my questions before even discussing how he would be paid. Once we laid the foundation for our attorney-client relationship, he gave me several options including a straight contingency fee, a retainer/hourly rate fee structure or a hybrid of the two. His bills were always reasonable and when I questioned something he made sure to discuss it with me in person until I was satisfied. Most importantly, he did a fantastic job representing me and my small business when we needed a civil litigation attorney. I would absolutely recommend Neil and his firm Horn Wright, LLP to my friends and family.

Brian Murphy was highly recommended to me by another attorney, that I've worked with and trusted for many years. I'm so happy that I hired him to represent me in my case. I sustained several broken bones and a spinal injury, in a work related accident, which was caused by someone else. He is very thorough in obtaining the evidence required to build a strong case. The tireless efforts of Brian, his associates and staff, brought us to an extremely satisfying settlement. I can't say enough good things about him!

Brian is the ultimate professional. He represented me in a motorcycle fall that I had on a road that was neglected by the town. He is easy to talk to, is a great communicator and informs you every step of the process. Hopefully the need will never arise, but if I ever need another injury attorney in the future there would be no one else I would even consider but Brian. Thank you for everything!

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.

Accessibility being one of the keys to a good Estate Attorney, Bracha excels in this regard. Communication is another great need personal representatives have of their estate attorney, another Bracha strength.
As many Executors flounder over the overwelming tasks of estate settlement, a focus on moving an estate forward is the mark of a good estate attorney.
That's Bracha Law.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Bracha and her work and have been quite impressed. Her personable approach and style helps her clients feel comfortable and understood through a difficult process, and makes sure she helps them address even the questions they didn’t know they needed to ask. The straightforward advice and guidance she gave me about handling some of the more challenging planning aspects, like choosing healthcare and power-of-attorney agents, gave me the ability to arrive at the right decision in my own time. If you are seeing a trusts and estates attorney who can understand you and your needs and make sure your planning gets done right, I recommend Bracha.

In my early years I heard many disturbing stories of how people lost a major part of their inheritance to City, State and Federal tax, after their parents died without having lawful protection from the tax system, and the thought of seeking a protection crossed my mind many times. But I kept postponed it to next week, next month, or next year, and year after year until I became much older and one morning I woke up with a terrible thought of how foolish it would have been If anything happened to me and left my family without protection losing half of what really belongs to them.
I spoke to a few attorneys but no one could make clear to me this complicated tax process and the fine print, until I contacted the Vishnick-McGovern-Milizio law firm and spoke with Constantina Papageorgiou who is an elder law attorney. Talking with Constantina was all clear and simple to me. She explained everything with professionalism and care. I did not hesitate.
Now I have a peace of mind knowing my hard earnings, my home and everything else are protected, and my family will get to keep everything that belongs to them.

From day 1 Mike took on my case as if I was his only client. He and Yvonne explained everything to us plain and simple. He was thorough and didn’t skip a beat. Not only did he did he take my case but he was professional and completely honest and very compassionate. Mike is the best attorney to take on anything regarding personal injury. He explained everything to me taking away all my stress of my injury. It’s been a pleasure working with Mike and Yvonne (and his entire staff) and if you’re looking for the best representation you need to hire Mike Levine.

I coudnt recommend this law firm enough. My husband Jessie was involved in accident. They fought insurance company for the best results and delivered. Kept us informed trough the process, very professional , explained and answered every question we had. We put our trust in Michael and the team and felt very confident we were in good hands. Case was built strong for trial so the insurance company had no choice but settle for good amount of $$$. Huge THANK YOU to the whole TEAM, you just changed our life. Couldnt do it without you.
Will always recommend this firm to everyone we know. If you reading this review and was involved in accident dont hesitate call THE BULL!! If you mess with the bull you get the horns! Cheers !!!

We had amazing representation from Robert Fellows. After an unfortunate cycling accident, my wife spent three days in the ICU and suffered significant pain as the result of a driver who made an incredibly irresponsible decision. Robert Fellows, who we've known for years, came to our aid. He helped to not only get us a fair settlement, but he made sure that the auto insurance company lived up to their obligations. More importantly, Robert treated us like a friend. He checked on us regularly and his concern for our well being as well as his genuine compassion is what make him incredibly special. Strongly recommend !!

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.

- 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.
