the best I have ever met, very professional.

Steve did a great job on all of our estate planning documents. He was easy to work with and made us comfortable throughout some difficult discussion topics. He also added value by making suggestions for issues we likely would not even have been aware of.

29 May, 2024 by Anne

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Steven Fleischer regarding Medicaid planning for my mother. Our situation has been difficult, omplex, and at times contentious. Speaking with Mr. Fleischer brought much-needed insight, reassurance and knowledge to a tough situation. Although we ultimately decided to go with an attorney who we know through a family acquaintance, I felt compelled to share my exceptional experience with Mr. Fleischer. From the moment we spoke on the phone, it was clear that Mr. Fleischer was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and compassionate. He took the time to thoroughly understand our situation, review our documents and circumstances in detail, and provided us with comprehensive, easy-to-understand advice that made a daunting process feel manageable. What truly stood out was Mr. Fleischer's genuine concern for our best interests and the best interests of our mother. He patiently answered all of our questions, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His thorough knowledge and extensive expertise in elder law was evident, and his guidance was invaluable. Even though we chose to go with someone we knew personally, I have no doubt that Mr. Fleischer would have been an outstanding advocate for us. He embodies everything you could hope for in an elder attorney: professionalism, empathy, and a dedication to his clients' well-being. I would highly recommend Mr. Fleischer to anyone in need of elder law services. Thank you Mr. Fleischer for your time and exceptional help.

28 Apr, 2024 by Daniel pinto

I'm from Philly when I caught my case,didn't know what to do.I talked to 5,6 lawyers in that area after talking to them all .I picked John for a couple of reasons I felt he was honest, reasonable and he wasnt telling me just what I wanted to hear(which is very important When hiring a lawyer)What a great choice it was.After talking to him he told me the pros and cons of the case.Told me what I was looking at.What he was going to try to do.what to expect ,what choices I have.What more could you ask.Exspecially knowing I was guilty.When he got in the courtroom he was a beast and got me a great deal.He really went to bat for me and it couldn't have turned out better. Beleave when I tell you it could of turned out a whole lot worse. THANK YOU JOHN If you or someone you know needs a lawyer,you couldn't do any better (HE IS A EXCELLENT LAWYER) 5 STAR,A1.Hopefully I never need a lawyer again if I did I would pick him never look back.Hes Honest,reasonable has integrity, will fight to get the very best outcome he could get what ever the circumstances are .I never take the time to write reviews I feel he deserves it.I was looking at alot now I'm not.Im home able to write this from home.Thank you John for all you did.I mean that from the heart.

I had no prior experience with criminal defense lawyers and no knowledge of the DUI process and was just unbelievably fortunate to find Attorney Raimondo. John thoroughly understood my case and addressed my concerns about the process. He was always available and was extremely knowledgeable about all the intricacies of the Westchester legal system. His professionalism is well known, which allows him to be an excellent advocate on your behalf. I could not have found a better attorney, and I am very thankful and appreciative for the outcome that he was able to negotiate for me.

James Knox took the time out of his busy day twice to speak with me about two cases, free of charge. After getting 2 letters from the JC, I was on the verge of a meltdown. Mr. Knox spoke with me about what to expect and how I could prepare myself for an investigation subsequent OP license issues if the cases were substantiated. He is definitely a friend of healthcare workers and I highly recommend contacting him if a fellow nurse has a JC case open.

David Iversen and Mark Varble represented me during a difficult car accident and rehab. They were kind, knowledgeable, professional, supportive and always responded quickly to my emails. I definitely recommend David, Mark and the rest of the E. Stewart Jones staff!

Kenneth Wilhelm is an excellent attorney to work with. I felt comfortable with him right from the start of my case. If I had any questions, Mr. Wilhelm and his staff were always responsive whenever I called or emailed. They were always there to help answer my questions and reassure me of my case. I was extremely happy with my settlement. The whole team is very professional and amazing to work with. I would highly recommend Kenneth Wilhelm’s office.

Attorney Peng is my second lawyer during my immigration application process. She's diligent and responsible. What I like most about her is her high efficiency, timely communication, smooth process, and her ability to provide the best solutions from a professional perspective and from the client's point of view. In the end, my application was successfully approved. I'm so grateful to her and her team. Highly recommend to anyone who needs professional immigration services.

I’ve worked with many attorneys about so many different stuff, this is definitely the most responsible, caring and affordable attorney I’ve ever worked with. They are professional, they know 100% what they’re doing, they actually cares about my case, they answers follow up question for me even after my case, they are patient, compassionate and definitely honest people. I appreciate them a lot truly, very hard working people.

My experience was extremely positive. Giovanni and his team helped me to handle all of my mother’s affairs. He advised me when she was still alive from dealing with the LTC Facility to all the steps that needed to be done in preparation for our death, to now getting all the necessary paperwork in order. Giovanni and his team have gone above and beyond my expectations and helped me through a very difficult time. I know my mother would have been happy and pleased. I would highly recommend Silvagni & Como.

Ms. Cassidy worked with my aging parents to set up their financial situation for long term care and income. There is no way we could have navigated such a complex system without her. She explained everything in detail so that we could all understand our best choices. All of our questions were answered patiently so that we were comfortable with our decisions. My sister and I no longer have to worry about our parents’ finances to live or pay for long term health care.

Michele has guided me every step of the way. She made it possible to remove my dear friend from a nursing home and get her into her home environment, where she preferred to be. Now she's receiving great care and her assets are protected. I highly recommend Cassidy Law Firm.

Gabriel Katzner has been wonderful to work with, responsive, kind, and efficient, and I highly recommend his firm, Katzner Law Group, for Estate Planning. The process of gathering information, meeting on Zoom, going over summary documents, asking questions and receiving comprehensive information has been seamless. The whole process happened in a very timely and affordable way, and knowing that Gabriel and his firm are easily accessible for any future questions or concerns provides priceless peace of mind.

My experience with Gouchev Law has been nothing shy of excellent.

With Gouchev Law, I felt that immediately as they had me in their best interest and has become a firm that I can trust and rely on for whatever my business needs as it continues to grow.

I was heavily in debts and was being sued by one of the collectors. A friend of mine recommended that I should file for bankruptcy chapter 7 so I searched online for a bankruptcy lawyer and came across J. Singer Law Group. I contacted Mr. Singer, told him my financial issue and why I couldn't pay them. He accepted my means test and explained the process to me. It became that I hired him and he represents me. I am so glad I hired him to take care of the bankruptcy for me. He is a godsend. I have to do part of the work too but It was worth it. He got my debt wipe clean and clean start. My case got discharged. Thanks to J. Singer and his law group for making that happen. If you ever need a bankruptcy lawyer, J. Singer Law Group is the one to call.

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries. So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good. This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing. I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

I recently worked with Kerner & Kerner Law Firm on a personal injury case after a car accident. After my accident, I was overwhelmed with medical bills and insurance claims. Lawyer Kenneth and his team were incredibly supportive and guided me through every step. The team was always available to answer my questions, and they kept me updated throughout the process. Their expertise and dedication resulted in a favorable settlement. I appreciated how Lawyer Kenneth explained complex legal terms in a way I could understand and made me feel confident in our case. Thanks to their hard work, I received a settlement that covered my medical expenses and more. I highly recommend Kerner & Kerner Law Firm to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable accident law firm.”

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured. The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians. Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted. If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip. Rafique K April 2024

These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.

Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.

When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:

Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?

Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:

Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.

Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.

How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to 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 willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
