Prior to this year, I never had the need to engage a personal injury attorney but that changed when a third party created a hazard causing my injury. A friend recommended John and I’m glad I reached out. During my initial consultation, John set expectations, discussed next steps, potential outcomes and assigned Brian to my case. Brian navigated the process expertly and brought an unwavering focus to my case. His professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping a client is unmatched. My goal was for the third party to be held accountable for their gross negligence to hopefully prevent them from doing this to someone else. I believe John, Brian and team achieved this goal by securing an exceptional settlement for this type of injury. I highly recommend John, Brian and Schwartzapfel Lawyers.

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.

Attorney Alex Moon helped me and my family navigate a really tough situation, and I was truly impressed. He handled everything with incredible skill and easy communication, especially when it came to managing the complex emotions involved. Alex is not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but he’s also compassionate and understanding—qualities that make a huge difference in difficult moments that we find ourselves in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Let’s be honest... no one wants to need an attorney, ever!
However, if you do, as we did, this is THE only firm to consider on LI. From partners, Rob and Sarah, to junior attorneys, associates and support staff, their services are simply unmatched.
And wowza! There’s even a real human, extremely competent, receptionist that answers the telephone. No push this and speak that and try to muddle thru some silly automated phone system; a consistent personal, caring approach to business at every level.
Rob Valli is thorough, on point and straight forward, mixed with kindness and compassion. Don’t mistake his kindness for weakness, tho! He can be a “bulldog”, if necessary and definitely precisely when needed. make no mistake, he knows his business and gets the job done.
There’s no “sugar coating“ and telling you what you want to hear, refreshing! He, and his associates at every level, provide everything you need and want on your side. Strong communication skills are a must for me and they deliver information clearly and concisely. Always, in a professional and succinct comprehensive manner. They know lay of land on LI and have the skill set to get job done.
Recently, I was asked how I know Rob when referring him, again. I paused... just for a moment and said “...Rob is my friend!”. I suddenly realized I do consider him my friend. I trust him implicitly, he’s kind, thoughtful and adds a true human element. It’s exactly what we all want and need when we unfortunately find we need an attorney. What more would you ask for in a friend!?
I’d use Rob for any and all legal needs and highly recommend him, and his firm, to anyone looking for a complete legal team package. It simply doesn’t get any better.
Don’t look any further, he and his colleagues are it!

Rob and his partners are the most amazing attorneys to work with. They give a whole new meaning to lawyers. They are extremely caring about their clients, make you feel like they are solely working for you. I could never see using another firm again. They are the best and brightest!

Danielle is a compassionate, caring and present family law attorney. She is responsive, timely and actually cares about the best interest of your child. Before I started working with her I referred a few clients to her based on a recommendation, and I’m happy that I hired her as well once I had respond to litigation for the first time in four years. It’s important to have someone who cares because otherwise the attorney will get bored of your case, won’t respond and you’ll be put on the back burner. Danielle is unlike the others and I highly recommend her.

All credit to Danielle and Linda for the incredible outcome in my case. Their experience and knowledge of the courts protected me and my interests. Reasonable and realistic is what I asked and that is what I was delivered. I felt the entire office cared for me as a person and friend. I followed their shrewd advice throughout and benefitted with a great post divorce life. Thank you!

Having both excellent skill and uncompromising integrity, I have hired Eric for representation in will/estate and real estate matters. I have referred others to Eric for similar needs as well as criminal and divorce representation, and I received great feedback. In addition to his superior legal abilities, he makes you feel like your case is the only one that matters. Whether criminal or civil in nature, call Eric Prusan first; if your case is outside his area of expertise, he will tell you so and not string you along.

Being in the law enforcement community I have a unique and sometimes negative opinion of most lawyers. I usually observe monetary interest trump the truth and the clients interest. However , Eric Prusan clearly demonstrates that he's not that type of lawyer., He was articulate, knowledgable and instead of billable hours he provided exceptional clarity. He was always available to answer my questions, phone calls or emails. A professional with integrity and refreshing ethical core valves. I certainly recommend Eric Prusan and I am confident that he will provide a smooth a efficient process to whatever your legal needs

I had an outstanding experience with The Bongornio Law Firm, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, they made the entire process incredibly easy and fast. Richard Bongornio, in particular, was extremely helpful and attentive. Unlike many law firms, he maintained open communication throughout, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had promptly. His professionalism and commitment to ensuring I understood every step of the process were truly appreciated. If you're looking for reliable and efficient legal support, I highly recommend The Bongornio Law Firm—ask for Richard!

To answer: I was never given the option to become a client of your firm.
Your offices reviewed my matter and declined to represent me.
I don't have a problem with this, but what does bother me (and the reason for my 1 star review) is that your attorney didn't even offer a cursory explanation of why he declined to represent me. He simply had his secretary call and tell me that he wouldn't pursue the matter.
It's a lack of basic professionalism, and bothered me enough to rate your firm 1 star.

Michael A. DeVito is not only an amazing and well respected lawyer, he is an honorable and trustworthy man. As many of you may know, the process after an accident/injury can be tough mentally and physically, and the last thing you need is billing/medical/insurance to be a burden as well. From the beginning he made me feel as comfortable as I could be treating my case individually & not just as another number. He explained the process to me in its entirety giving me an honest timeframe; and always gave me the general understanding that he will take care of it, you just go to your doctors and focus on getting your body better! If you call he simply answers or always willingly returns the call, and if you’re still in need of something he is always willing to go the extra mile! I highly recommend having Michael A. DeVito represent you or anyone you may know!

He truly is an expert in the field he practices in. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

*Excellent Service from Beta Abstract—Highly Recommend**
I recently used Beta Abstract for the closing on my home, and the experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient. They made sure everything was handled with precision, and their attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process. Ask for Marc, he is your guy! Communication was seamless, and they were always available to answer my questions or provide updates. What really impressed me was how quickly they were able to coordinate and finalize everything—I was amazed at how smoothly the closing went. If you're looking for a reliable title company that truly cares about its clients, I highly recommend Beta Abstract. They exceeded my expectations and made the home-buying process way easier than expected!

update: My insurance paid for the attorney's time (you are making it seem like it was a free consultation) for this services. I paid my insurance with my money. Yes, indeed, this is not a free service but a paid consultation. It seems the attorney hung up on me rather than the call being disconnected because I called back, emailed, and texted the office afterward, but nobody responded, apologized, or at least returned my call. His last words before the call ended—or was disconnected, based on his own words—were that "his time is valuable." Such an unprofessional and stuck-up attitude. I was never informed beforehand that I only had 45 minutes to talk.
I believe I talked to Ron Cook. We had an appointment at 4 PM today, and while he was helpful in sending the information, he seemed annoyed when I asked questions. He expects me to read everything on my own and doesn’t want to provide further explanations when I asked him to give me a simple breakdown of how things work again because I was a little confused, and he did not want to provide all the information. He is getting payed to explain things, not to dismiss our concerns. He even mentioned that his time is valuable, but isn’t that exactly why he is getting paid—for his time and expertise? By the end of the conversation he hung up the phone, it felt unprofessional.
This experience reinforces my decision to go to law school. There’s clearly an opportunity in the market for professionals who know how to communicate effectively and treat clients with respect, no matter where they come from or what questions they ask. So far, 7 out of 10 attorneys seem to be quite stuck-up simply for having a JD and whatever piece of paper they get from the government. similar to medical doctors.

What a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Do for You
A civil rights lawyer focuses on protecting individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government authorities, employers, or private organizations. These lawyers specialize in cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, freedom of speech, and other fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Housing Act.
Whether you've been discriminated against due to race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, or you believe your civil rights have been violated by a government entity, a civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice, hold wrongdoers accountable, and secure compensation for any harm you've suffered.
When Should I Hire a Civil Rights Lawyer?
You should hire a civil rights lawyer when your constitutional rights or other protected rights have been violated, and you need legal assistance to seek justice. Some key situations in which you may need a civil rights lawyer include:
- Employment discrimination: If you have faced discrimination at work based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability, a civil rights lawyer can help you file claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Police misconduct or brutality: If you were the victim of police brutality, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or other forms of misconduct, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for violations of your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
- Freedom of speech or assembly violations: If your First Amendment rights to free speech or peaceful assembly have been restricted by the government, a civil rights lawyer can represent you in challenging the violation.
- Housing discrimination: If you’ve been denied housing or faced unfair treatment due to your race, ethnicity, gender, or disability, a lawyer can help you file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act.
- Voter rights violations: If you believe your right to vote has been unfairly suppressed or you’ve faced discrimination in the voting process, a civil rights lawyer can help you fight for your rights.
- Disability rights violations: If you’ve faced discrimination in accessing public spaces, employment, or services due to a disability, a lawyer can help enforce your rights under the ADA.
- LGBTQ+ rights violations: If you've experienced discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, or public services, a civil rights lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
Hiring a lawyer early on can help you understand your legal options and build a strong case to protect your rights.

Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer
Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.
How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
- Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
- Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
- Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
- Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
