Mr. Gallivan represented my sisters and I in the wrongful death case of my mother as a result of medical negligence at a major hospital in the Bronx. What I valued most about him was his kindness and compassion, he worked tiresly to obtain the maximum compensation for us and negotiated a medical lien reduction. While our case was complicated and took years to resolve he always kept us informed. I would highly recommend Mr. Gallivan and his firm.

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal.
So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

My husband and I recently worked with attorney Pat Micek. She guided us through a potentially stressful process—setting up a trust and completing wills and advanced health directives. Pat and her staff were calm, patient and professional. Pat listened, advised and took time to ensure that we understood the process.
She was knowledgeable and responsive, answering our questions and providing up-to-date guidance. We found her honest, efficient and reasonable. She is accessible and never too busy to answer questions. We recommend her without reservation.

Attorney Steven Campanaro handled a a very complex legal dispute between me and my former business partner. He made himself easily available to answer all my questions and he addressed and explained to me thoroughly all my legal concerns. He put me at ease throughout my whole lengthy legal ordeal, he walked side by side with me every step of the way and I always felt his strong support. He was always transparent In the possible outcomes of the decisions he was helping me make.
In addition Mr. Campanaro showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout my case and this helped me a great deal to get through this most difficult legal situation in my life.
Steven thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case from both sides and prepared an exceptional strategy that ultimately led to my victory in a satisfactorily out-of-court settlement which helped me to avoid costly potential court fees. His preparation was remarkable and his candor was well received by me. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs or concerns.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand.
What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

One of the best decisions I made was to ask for Tilem & Associates to help me with my 6 point speeding ticket, they got it reduced to a zero point parking ticket. Very respectful and so helpful! Without their help my insurance definitely would have gone up a lot, so I can’t thank them enough!

I called Lever and Ecker for an initial consultation and had the opportunity to speak with Adam Weiss. In the short discussion Adam provided me with guidance on my potential case and put me in touch right away with someone in his network as this was an out of state case. Adam followed up shortly afterwards to make sure that the connection was made. I was very pleased with how Adam and his firm helped me and set me down the right path.

I consulted Daniel Ecker regarding a malpractice concern about the dental care I received. Dan thoroughly reviewed the documents I had collected, discussed the case with me, and provided excellent advice. He was incredibly caring, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process.
Dan maintained consistent communication through emails and phone calls, keeping me informed about my case and ensuring I clearly understood every step. He also represented me during negotiations with the opposing side, and his expertise in his specialty areas of law helped me achieve a highly satisfactory outcome.
This case was incredibly stressful, especially since I had never been through anything like it before. I feel deeply grateful to have had Dan’s support during this challenging experience. His thoughtful advice and the time he dedicated to helping me meant more than I can express.
Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional support and dedication!

Arnold would call me weekly, if not daily to keep me posted on everything that was going on with my case. He also made everything clear as far as the dispotion or any other hearing we went to. Very honest and overall great experience. I would recommend Arnold and his firm to anyone in need of a great lawyer who knows what they are doing. The case has been closed for a while now and he still contacts me to date to see how things are going.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation.
Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help.
Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children.
I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made.
Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family.
It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded.
I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

Honest, relentless, resourceful. These are the first few adjectives that come to mind when thinking of James Lenihan.
Upon hearing about Mr. Lenihan from a trusted friend, my initial reaction was that he sounded passionate and compassionate. By the end of our first phone conversation, I was ecstatic to feel "heard" by someone who could actually help me.
Mr. Lenihan listened to me and immediately produced a logical, systematic course of action representing my best interests. This was a welcome surprise after months of dealing with closed doors, ineffective counsel, and zero results. As we continue to work together, I remain in awe of how fortune I am to have him representing me.
Having dealt with multiple law firms regarding a variety of issues over the past decade or so, my highest recommendation goes to Mr. Lenihan. His breadth and depth of knowledge is extensive and multi-faceted. His network of colleagues is far-reaching. However, what makes Mr. Lenihan stand head and shoulders above the rest, is observing him in the courtroom. Brilliant is an understatement.
Anyone would be hard pressed to find a better advocate, attorney, or human. Jimmy is the best. You can trust your life in his hands, literally and figuratively. He is an everyday hero.

This so called attorney should be disbarred!! I’m still suffering from a divorce, that this man handled. First, every time he appeared in court, he was late and unprepared. Second, he never depositioned my ex-wife. Every time I asked him, his answer was. I don’t know. Third, just before the trial, he left me, to go skiing in Italy and had another lawyer, who knew nothing about my case take care of it. The end result was. I had to pay 9 yrs alimony and child support. 2950.00 per month. I only make 110k a year. I now was put in section 8, because Mr. Lenihan got his license from a Cracker Jack box. After getting screwed so badly by this man. I’ve decided to investigate. I spoke to many lawyers who know him. They all said, he is horrible. I also spoke to some judges who know him. They all said that he has a habit of being unprepared. Stay away from him. He couldn’t get you out of a parking ticket.

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.
