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!

Mr. Daniel Tarantino succeeded with my felony case, including three additional misdemeanors by digging deeply into every aspect of information that was put in front of him. My case was dismissed due to Mr. Tarantino’s Dedication to determine my innocence and not be claimed as a criminal. Thank you so much Mr. Tarantino for the hard work of and for my case.

I had a very complex case before the Erie Co. Family Court. I wish I met Anthony Cervi, Esq. years ago. I was dealing with opposition who cares about nothing but themselves; not the child. Anthony Cervi sorted through all the data and provided truly zealous representation.. Mr. Cervi is one who can think on his feet, use time judiciously, and obtain the best result for his client. Having deeper knowledge of Family Court than most laymen I can say - call him first! Mr. Cervi has a friendly, professional staff available. He will fight for his clients. Disregard any negative reviews out there. Mr. Cervi is well above average. He’s not there to drain your funds. He focuses like a laser on your case. He is simply the most effective family attorney I’ve ever met (..and I’ve met many!). If you have a case before the Family Court, don’t waste your time and energy. See Mr. Cervi, do what he advises and relax knowing you’re in truly expert hands. He knows more than the judges.

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.

What bankruptcy attorney doesn't include a broken tenancy lease in a chapter 7 bankruptcy? Unless I'm "mistaken." Perhaps all the money I paid them, (why is there a RED FLAG on the bankruptcy court documents. INDICATING THAT I QUALIFIED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS A POOR PERSON,) should be returned? ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I COULD'VE RECEIVED A PRO BONO COURT APPOINTED LAWYER, AS I AM AND WAS A SERVICE CONNECTED DISABLED VETERAN DISPLACED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA 2004 HURRICANE SEASON...ALONG WITH BEING INDIGENT! HOW DOES THAT APPEAR? I WONDER, DOES THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE POLICE AND THEIR INSPECTORS' NOTICE WHEN MR. GRUBEA TRIES TO SOLICIT POTENTIAL CLIENTS VIA USPS?

Mr. Shahriar, fought for me above and beyond call of duty. In May 2020 amid the stress of the coronavirus shut down, I went for a Saturday morning motorcycle ride and a breath of fresh air. After an oncoming car crossed double yellow lines and nearly amputated my leg, we learned that insurance companies tend to believe car drivers over Motorcyclists. 14 months and 12 surgeries later I will eventually walk again. However, it looked like that was going to cost my family everything. Both insurance companies were claiming it was my fault in spite of evidence to the contrary. Even the famous "motorcycle lawyers" wouldn't take the case since it was just my word against theirs. Both companies ended up paying out the maximum. But that's not the end of the of the story. At this point most lawyers would've taken their cut and gone home. But that's not what happened. It turns out Medicare doesn't pay for motorcycle accidents and were coming after me for every bit of it. This last bit was not even in his purview. Nonetheless, Shahriar went to work on them for months even though that was not part of our contract but just because in his own words "it's just the right thing to do". I don't know if he eventually convinced them of that or if they gave in so he would stop following up with them every day. Either way, they accepted a greatly reduced payment. I hope you never need to, but if you ever get in a situation where you need someone to fight for you like "a bulldog on a pant leg" and never give up because that's the right thing to do, I highly recommend Mr. Shahriar Kashanian. He won't let you down.

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.

Brett handled both the sale of our condo and purchase of a new home. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He was very responsive and promptly let us know about anything unusual or risks that we as seller or buyer should be aware of. He took care to explain the key points of real estate transactions. He handled the communications on both ends very well. He has a very deep knowledge and network of realtors and real estate industry contacts in Westchester. He was able to coordinate both closings and the closings went smoothly. For real estate transactions, I highly recommend Brett and his team.

Lee, as he humorously reminds one to call him is friendly, humorous, and learned. I call him "a trial lawyer's human Library and legal adviser to his peers." The reason is I had an occasion that an Attorney that worked for me relied on Lee's legal counsel and successfully got a foreclosure judgment for real property sale denied in Queens Supreme Court. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Greene's services to anyone seeking the assistance of a REAL Attorney at Law because he is an expert Litigator and qualified in his own right.

During the initial consultation, they actually listened to my situation and was empathetic, unlike other attorneys who only want to see if they can make money off your case. He answered all of my many questions and calmed my nerves about the highly stressful matter. Frank genuinely cares about his clients, not just money. As far as fees, he’s extremely flexible, offering payment plans tailored to what you can afford to pay. His rates truly are the best you can find in the area and the quality of this firm is top tier. Once officially retained, he gets right to work on your case/matter and keep an open line of communication if you have any questions or concerns. Frank was especially thorough in making sure I was up to date with any and all changes or updates. He was able to secure a monthly payment plan for my debt which was affordable for me and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! I 10/10 recommend Frank to anyone experiencing any kind of debt lawsuit or matter. He truly advocates your best interest, which is very difficult to find amongst other debt defense attorneys. I could not have made a better decision choosing Graham & Borgese to represent me.

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...

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.

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.

 He listened to our questions and provided answers in words we could understand. 

More than once, Geoffrey went the extra mile and was always there for us above and beyond our client/lawyer relationship. It is my pleasure to recommend Geoffrey as a very qualified attorney who can handle any unique legal situation he is knowledgeable and trained. The law firm of Unsworth LaPlante are lucky to have him as one of their employee.

Going into this process, there were things we admittedly didn't know that we had to do. Geoffrey was very helpful in directing us, making sure we covered all the steps necessary in order to complete the process properly. We were very pleased with his thoroughness, his attention to detail, and his personable nature, making himself available to us to answer any of our questions, no matter how big or small. He was a huge help in navigating us through our operating agreement, acting as a proactive listener and providing us with helpful suggestions in order to come to an agreement of which we both understood and were satisfied with.

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.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You

A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. 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.

What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?

A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:

  • Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
  • Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
  • Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
  • Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
  • Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
  • Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer

Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:

  1. What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
    Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What is the likelihood of success for my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products.
  5. What is the timeline for resolving my case?
    While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.

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.
