We just had an initial consultation with David regarding compliance for our Amazon launch, as well as upcoming IP defense strategy for our brand, Grappling SMARTY. David was very helpful in terms of providing expert advice. He took the time to understand our position and explain the pros and cons of each option while weighing the risks and potential rewards. Very knowledgeable and helpful, don't hesitate to contact him for all your e-commerce needs.

THESE PEOPLE GIVE ATTORNEYS A BAD NAME!!!
They are bottom feeders, searching for lawsuits that don't exist while trying to ruin the reputation of people by creating issues that don't concern them.

I had the pleasure of working with John, and I cannot commend him highly enough. From the outset, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to addressing every challenge that arose, ensuring a seamless experience throughout. John's tenacity and genuine kindness were evident in every interaction, and he provided personalized service that exceeded my expectations. He navigated every detail with precision and dedication, offering invaluable support every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone seeking a broker who not only delivers exceptional results but also prioritizes the individual needs of his clients.

This is a review on Kurta Law and specifically Jonathan Kurta. Jonathan reached out to me a few months back and was representing a group to recover funds on a stock loss. When I first discussed the issue he was very easy to talk to and I didn't feel pressured to join. After talking with him I agreed to move forward and he kept me informed as progress was made and ultimately got an excellent outcome. This is especially eventful due to the fact that the case was older than aloud but we still won the case. I highly recommend this company and Jonathan.

This was my first time pursuing a lawsuit and I couldn’t have went with a better lawyer. Ismail was checked off all the boxes when it came to a great lawyer. He was excellent with explaining things to me and he was a great listener. There was never a time where he left me in the dark about my case, and I can’t name a time when I called him and he didn’t answer. He worked very hard on my case and I can’t thank him enough for all of his compassion and kindness. He was very compassionate and most importantly he was trustworthy, and handled my case with care.

It took me some time to write this because of all the emotions I have been going through, but in a nutshell, my purchase transaction for a condo in Manhattan fell through last week. I believe that Weidenbaum and Harari bears primary responsibility for the deal falling apart, and I deeply regret ever hiring them.
A summary of what went wrong:
• My case was assigned to a lawyer (Eugene Sarantis) who was on vacation and would not return until the following week. I was not happy that my case was being assigned to an associate out on vacation but I let it go.
• It was virtually impossible to get in contact with my lawyer. Despite my repeated attempts to reach Eugene via phone and e-mail, he did not respond to my request for an update until I directly asked one of the partners, Jack Harari, to intervene. The first time I was actually able to speak with Eugene was 13 days after the contract had already been sent.
• I was not brought into the contract negotiation process until the very end. I was not even sent a copy of the contract and riders until several days after they had been sent to Weidenbaum and Harari, and as referenced earlier, I was unable to speak with Eugene about the contract and provide input until 13 days into the contract negotiation process.
• Revisions were made to the contract and riders without my knowledge or consent. During the 13 days before I was finally able to speak with Eugene, negotiations and changes were being made to the contract and riders without my consent, and in many cases, without my even knowing about the requested changes.
Although I was initially told by Jack that the entire contract negotiation process would likely take 7-10 days, the contract was still not finalized 14 days after it had initially been sent. By that point, the seller had become extremely frustrated with the process and pulled out of the deal.
In hindsight, I believe that my biggest mistake in this condo purchase transaction was hiring Weidenbaum and Harari to represent me. If I could do it over again, I would have hired a different legal team, and I genuinely believe that the outcome would have been different if I had.

We recently arrived in the US and needed legal assistance with purchasing our new home. Michael J. Zadjelovich was incredibly helpful and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all our needs and questions. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Michael J. Zadjelovich for anyone needing legal services!

Mehdi was nothing short of amazing. I had a complicated case involving a family member who is out of the country. He explained the process needed to address the case and walked me through every step. My relative and I had to do everything via zoom and phone. Mehdi made the process seamless. He was readily available and his communication was exceptional. If he was unable to respond to my inquiries, his paralegal was great in ensuring my questions were answered in a timely manner. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. GOD bless him.

Woods Lonergan, and specifically Andreas Christou, masterfully managed and guided us through a particularly complex dual closing (sold and purchased simultaneously). Andreas was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough and was committed throughout, despite the fact that the process quickly became far more intricate and complicated than initially expected. We can’t recommend him, or the firm, highly enough.

We found Mr Steven L. Weinberg, Esq. and his team at Wildes and Weinberg during a tumultuous point in our legal journey. Not only were they extremely welcoming and attentive to our situation, they were also able to pull off, what we were told at the time, a near-impossible legal dispute with what happened to our case due to our previous counsel. Their meticulous attention to detail regarding our already complicated case was the saving grace that put us back on the right track. Incredibly thankful for Mr. Weinberg and his team! Additionally, I would like to give special attention to Ms. Mia Ganotice-Olis, Esq. and Ms. Stephanie Fabian. Ms. Mia was assigned with our case and handled it with the utmost grace and professionalism. She did not fail to update us every time a development had happened with our case. She took care of us and our case with the most passion and care that I've ever seen in a legal setting, and my family and I cannot thank her enough for every ounce of effort she put in for us. Ms. Stephanie was also on top of our case for the entire duration. She was excellent in researching ways to amend our legal troubles in the best possible ways. Without them, we would have been completely lost navigating through the intricacies of the world of immigration law, and thanks to them that we were able to fully understand the scope of our journey. I would, without a shadow of a doubt in my mind, fully recommend Mr. Weinberg and his team at Wildes and Weinberg to anyone.

As a Canadian, I was encouraged by many Canadian lawyers with US state credentials that their competency and expertise was comparable to top US immigration lawyers. This is not accurate. I am so thankful that I chose Wilde’s Law instead. Michael Wilde’s and his team understand US immigration law better than anyone, it’s all that they do. Michael or his son will call you themselves if you have any questions. This top immigration law firm makes you feel as if you are their only client. I cannot begin to express the peace of mind that I had dealing with this law firm. Going with a lower priced firm or a Canadian law firm will likely result in wasted time and cost in the long run. Spare yourself the trouble and go with this firm. These are good honest people who have true passion for what they do.

A friend attorney recommended me to contact Michael Wildes since we were embarking on what would become a very tenuous and prolonged process. I am blessed to have been directed this way, because with this team - Michael, Walter, Kenya - we had the best possible support (legal, but also in a personal way) that we could ever find. The team has helped us navigate the complexities of the process (over close to 2 years!!), always being there for us, very responsive, helpful, proactive in advising for solutions, very professional and worth every penny. Thank you Michael, Walter and Kenya!!

I had the privilege of working with Johnmack as my lawyer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was aggressive in ensuring that those responsible for what happened to me were held fully accountable. He didn't back down and fought tirelessly on my behalf.
What truly sets Johnmack apart, though, is his sensitivity and understanding of my circumstances. He was incredibly patient with me, especially during the toughest moments when I felt overwhelmed and ready to give up. His unwavering support and encouragement were invaluable, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared.
If you need a lawyer who is not only a fierce advocate but also deeply compassionate and supportive, look no further than Johnmack. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for me, and I HIGHLY recommend his services.

My case was a bogus stop by NY state trooper which stated that I had left my lane and crossed over the dashed lines without signaling when in fact I stood in my lane straight as an arrow, the police failed to bring about the video evidence of this stop in the court filings. Mr Fisher, during covid and while I was in crutches with a broken fibula was able to get this case dismissed with a $200 court fee after the judge ruled. I thank Mr. Fisher for his communication, his sharpness and his professionalism on this case. I recommend him a million times if you have the money to get a top notch lawyer!

The only downside was the elevator situation in the building—it was slow and made getting to appointments a bit frustrating. However, the quality of service made up for it.

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.
What Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?
A civil rights lawyer provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals whose rights have been violated. Their work can include:

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.
