Mr. Onglingswan represented me both personally and professionally. Throughout my circumstances, his compassion and subject-mater-expertise resulted in resolving my cases. The most important thing, in any legal case, is to allow your attorney to tell and defend your side of the story. I highly recommend utilizing his services as my story resulted in a happy ending!

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Peng and Attorney Kong on my O-1B visa application last year, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their expertise and dedication throughout the process. From our initial consultation to the final approval, they demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the O-1B category and provided invaluable guidance tailored to my specific field. They were always available to address my questions, providing clear and concise explanations, making the complex immigration process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking dedicated, knowledgeable, and highly professional attorneys for their immigration needs.

This lawyer mistakenly put my birthday year as 2020, caused my whole application rejected and returned by USCIS. And She cursed me through WeChat after I asked for a refund. It delayed my immigration process and I had to re-submitted again after 1 month.
All the good reviews here are intentionally written. Do not recommend this lawyer.

From my personal experience - Jacob is an outstanding attorney. He was referred to me by a friend and I would strongly recommend him, as you definitely want him on your side. He is passionate as an advocate for his clients in combination with using his sharp intelligence to effectively achieve your goal. He guided me through the entire process in a highly effective manner, as well as emotionally supportive throughout the challenging process. He operates with compassion and provides a realistic assessment of where you stand. He was HIGHLY responsive and both he and his team were quick to answer questions/calls and turn things around. He did a great job of setting my expectations throughout and delivering a good outcome that I was very happy with. If you are looking for a highly skilled attorney, you need look no further.

Working with Sharon and her team was an absolute pleasure. Immigration and legal matters are always complex and difficult to understand, but Sharon and her team made the entire process an easy and seamless experience.
It was great to find humans that cared about you and what you are going through. Sharon and her team not only helped us with our case but went above and beyond to make sure that we felt heard. The entire team was always there to help us at every step of the way, at all times open to answer any question we might have had.
I’m glad to have chosen Sharon for this process; something that could have felt overwhelming, long, and stressful felt really easy. I’m really thankful to Sharon for all her help. I would 100% recommend working with her and her team.

In 2021-2022, I was fearful that I could lose my TPS status. We were referred to Sharon, and from day one, she worked arduously on my case. Her dedication, diligence, and compassion are evident, and she truly understands how painful and tedious this process can be because she went through it herself.
As she guided me through the adjustment of status process, her team was incredibly professional and helpful, always looking for ways to expedite our case. Sharon is unlike any lawyer we’ve met; she adds a personal touch to every interaction and ensures regular communication to provide updates.
She has also been an invaluable resource for other ongoing cases we’ve had, even introducing us to reputable and reliable lawyers. Before we officially began our case, we met with Sharon to discuss our situation. A few months later, when a new law passed that would affect us, she proactively emailed us to encourage us to file right away, making the process much easier to start.
Had it not been for her follow-up and dedication, we wouldn’t have the amazing results we have today—our case was APPROVED just two days before Election Day. My wife and I can honestly say that we will miss connecting with her regularly. Sharon is truly one of a kind.

Gary Farrell is an excellent lawyer. I have bipolar disorder and got into some legal trouble a number of years ago. I was lucky enough to find Gary, who showed me compassion and persuaded the courts to let me be treated for my disorder rather than face much harsher penalties. Thank you so much, Gary, and take good care!

Brandon McKenzie more than lives up to his reputation as the “Airbnb lawyer.” He and his firm have helped me navigate complex real estate matters and Airbnb regulations and legislation. Our association hired Brandon as a lobbyist, and he was successful in lobbying for the defeat of an ill-conceived bill that would have outlawed or unreasonably restricted short-term rentals. Legislators have since adopted a considerable amount of the language he drafted in a competing bill, so we are now much closer to a common sense piece of legislation that will serve the interest of all stakeholders involved.

Esquire Mckenzie was recommended to me and I hired him to represent me before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) and yet he delivered fantastic results (all dismissed) and spared me from financial ruin.
I will be forever grateful to him.
As an attorney, he was courteous, compassionate, knowledgeable, well prepared, and detail oriented.
Brandon, thank you so much! I had an inner feeling that I had to hire you and I am glad I listened to it.
Look forward to working with you in the future...

Eric Hutner has been my lawyer, and the lawyer for my companies, for about 25 years. He handles our business law, corporate and securities needs, and he also has vast experience in arbitration and litigation. I consider him a valued friend and ally, my most trusted counsel, and someone I can count on for almost everything. I highly recommend him for his ethics, attention to detail, his organization skills, his ability to foresee potential issues, and his ability to deliver a professional and quality service.

During the covid period I was in a mess operating my business. Our creditors refused to offer any payment facilities. In desperation we had reached out to Attorney Jeb Singer for advice.
He listened to me carefully and explained all the options including negotiating with lenders. Having failed, he suggested bankruptcy.
During the entire process his team was helpful, knowledgeable and very professional.
Mr. Singer was always on hand to advise when needed.
I thank Mr. Singer for all his advice and highly recommend his services.

It isn’t my intention to make my review this long, but it’s the only way to truly share my experience. I’ll pay it forward. After months of contemplating, researching the subject and reaching the conclusion I’m truly in the worst of financial troubles, I still wasn’t 100% sure if I could or should go through with bankruptcy. I wasn’t there yet. I was terrified at the thought. Enter Mr. Singer. The first thing was the website. It was very different than most. It’s put together right. It’s not intimidating. So I called the number. To my surprise Mr. Singer picks up the phone. Not an answering machine or secretary or anything. He doesn’t know me and is talking to me like I’m a family member. Like his grandson or son. He spoke to me about ME. With dignity and respect. Not about money or what I did wrong. Not about My mistakes. But is this action now apart of my life’s journey? Do I need to start over? That changed everything for my decision going forward without any fear. Elliot who’s apart of Mr. Singers team is the nicest guy ever. He made the process very easy for me. I could always reach him and Mr. Singer about anything. They were professional and caring & it got me through the process unharmed so to speak. Im grateful to that firm. Run there. Hopefully they will have an opening, if it’s a part of your journey. Sincerely, Michael M

Brant knows more about how institutional investors think and what they want in alternative investments than anyone I know, lawyer or otherwise.

As the previous reviewer stated, I highly recommend Brant to anyone looking for a real estate lawyer.

Chris became my lawyer for a FINRA Arbitration case in 2008. He listened to my complaint, filed notice soon after and engaged an expert witness. We discussed mediation, found it to be agreeable and approached the defendant who at first agreed and at the last minute reneged. At all times Chris kept me informed of the process, costs and developments.
In early 2009, the Arbitration Hearing took place near my home. Chris came down a full day early, met with me and my wife, discussed the case in detail, and gave appropriate advice. The hearing went on for four days and was difficult. Chris's Expert Witness was perfect. At all times Chris was knowable and demanding of the defendant.
As a result, the decision was in my favor with a nice financial award and the defendant required to pay all hearing costs. I felt vindicated and pleased that the losses I had suffered were replaced.
I give all the credit to Chris Jon Gray for the happy results. I would hire him again.
In early.

I retained Paul Walker, Esq after the previous attorneys at a large Manhattan-based firm that I had retained for an OPMC matter were pressuring me to sign an agreement that was internally inconsistent and contradictory. Upon meeting Paul, I knew immediately that I should have hired him from the beginning. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable, articulate, diplomatic, and empathetic. However, his greatest strength was his honesty. He listened to all of my concerns and he told me my options truthfully and explained every possibility to me so that I could truly make an informed decision as to how to proceed. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to him for his advice and advocacy of my case. He achieved a result that my prior attorneys told me was impossible and for that, I will be eternally indebted to him. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul for any state medical board issue as he is truly unparalleled in his field.

Although it may appear that this top rating seems a bit high on the mark, I can state with certainty that Jerry Merola is the real deal when it comes to bankruptcy cases. I was a newbie to the bankruptcy process, nor had I worked with a lawyer before, but Merola + his team walked me through it step by step without leaving me feeling befuddled in any way. Communication was constant, clear, and prompt (esp. via email), and I was well prepped to know what to expect + respond at court. As long as I did my share of the work properly, Merola + his team made sure they did theirs.

RYCB were highly recommended to me by one of their former clients and this law firm has exceeded my expectations. Brandon Fleischhacker is the best! He is professional, understanding, and listened to my concerns. From the very beginning he was upfront and explained everything to me in detail. Every two weeks Brandon would call me and check in on how I was feeling. He also responded to my messages promptly and advocated for me. He was very caring and showed great concern for my well being during this very stressful experience. Everyone in the RYCB firm are professionals and they work great as a team. Whenever I had any concerns or questions I was pointed in the right direction and followed up with to make sure I was satisfied. They did a great job advocating for me. I had recently recommended a friend to them and was confident that she was in good hands.

I hired Patrick Bradford to be outside counsel for my then organization’s major investigative and pre-litigation and litigation matters. Several were pressing; among them, was a litigation in the discovery phase. The organization’s executives and staff were apprehensive as they had never been faced with such litigation. Patrick was able to assuage that anxiety and make people feel confident about the course of the litigation. He artfully mastered the situation’s details and its big picture context.
He is an excellent communicator, brilliant strategist, and fierce advocate who inspires confidence.
I would highly recommend Patrick and am honored to have the privilege to do so.

It is an honor to write this review for Patrick A. Bradford. I hired Patrick to create several contract templates for my newly formed consulting business to support business development, IP protection, and customer engagement. At the start of each assignment, Patrick asked detailed questions to understand the business context and how I intended to use the contract. This allowed him to prepare first drafts of every agreement that were at least 80% close to the final version. Patrick is a brilliant, no-nonsense lawyer who is detail-oriented, collaborative, and easy to work with. I look forward to working with Patrick again when I have the need for a top-notch business attorney.

As a rule I’ve always tried to avoid lawyers. I’ve always tried to make sure the deal is very clear so I don’t have to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer but sometimes there is no choice. I had to break up a business partnership and although I tried to make it amicable it was clear that I had to bring in Council. Chris was recommended to me by a colleague and I couldn’t have been happier. He was always supportive, always listened and gave me fantastic advice. My calls were always returned immediately. The communication was fantastic. And as for the settlement, I got everything I wanted and more. And that’s all thanks to Chris. I hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do need a lawyer with his expertise, he will be an immediate hire. Recommended highly

- 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.

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