Once Jason took over my case I immediately felt reassured and comfortable that it would work in my behalf. While most lawsuits do take a period of time to be completed, my case went reasonably quick. I strongly advise the Paris Law Group! Outstanding service, and representation.

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

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value. Justin Kuehn explained the shareholder derivative process up front and filed our case right away. They kept me updated with the case status and got me an incentive fee. Great firm for a shareholder derivative case!

I hired Stefanie Devery when I bought my first home in 2005. I then hired her again in 2009 when I sold it. During both transactions, she was helpful, supportive, professional, informative and negotiated the terms I wanted. I will continue to use her for all of my future real estate transactions.

I am amazed at the results Pryor Cashman has achieved - some of the cases you hear about in the news lately, the clients who won their case, those were clients of Pryor Cashman. In terms of business deals, Richard C. Leska is great to work with and he has about 30 years experience so I would recommend any M & A work or corporate deals ask for Rich Leska. The whole firm is highly intelligent, highly qualified, and great to work with in terms of providing the best service and achieving the best results!

Hiring a New York attorney can be a nerve wracking process. If you are like me, you first have to endlessly interview attorneys to find one that is even willing to undertake your matter if its not worth millions. Then, after you finally find the willing few, you select the one you are most comfortable with and hope for the best. Fortunately for me, this time around, I came across Mary Madeline Roberts. Right off the bat, I had a great feeling with her. She was extremely knowledgeable and versed in contractual matters and guided me every step of the way through the entire process. She raised extremely important issues that I would never have considered had I proceeded by myself and has already saved me more time and money than I can relate. Also, she was very generous with her time and spent a lot of time with me upfront getting to know me and learn about my needs before I even retained her. Most of all, she never nickle and dimmed me, charging me for every little thing along the way in order to pump up my fees. This is a rarity that I really really appreciated about her and unheard of in New York in my experience. There are so many firms out there that really take advantage of the little guy and I can tell you the Ms. Roberts is NOT one of them..... I highly recommend Ms Roberts to anyone with a contract dispute or who needs a great attorney who is highly competent, effective , gives you a great over all feeling and who treats you very fairly at the end of the day. I promise you you will NOT regret this decision.
THANKS AGAIN MARY!!!!!!

Mary helped me in a business matter and went above and beyond in helping me in a way that effectively dealt with the issues and didn't bankrupt me in the process. I could not recommend any attorney more and I've been in business for over 40 years. She's honest and unmatched in her concern for clients.

Jack Lester was incredibly helpful to us on a recent case. He was readily available for questions and offered great legal advice. He’s incredibly sharp and tenacious when it comes to arguing for his client but also has a compassionate side when it comes to building client relationships. I highly recommend using his services.

The best decision I made was hiring Cannon Kearney to represent my fiance with his child support case. Every attorneys office I called prior to him wanted a consultation fee without even hearing the situation or our needs. Cannon was the first one to not mention a fee and listen to what we had going on first which completely won my business. All I needed was someone to listen and he did just that. Throughout the process he was very hands on and communicative. The case results were in our favor and beyond what we expected and wanted. And that was thanks to Mr. Kearney expertise and guidance. Thanks to him we have peace. Everyone know how stressful a child support case can be but everytime we got on the phone with Mr. Kearney he just listened from day one and that meant a lot. I can go on and on about this experience, needless to say that his efficiency saved us a lot of time and stress and for that I am grateful.
His deep knowledge was evident and played a crucial role in the positive outcome of this case.

What a Credit Repair Lawyer Can Do for You
A credit repair lawyer specializes in helping individuals address issues related to their credit reports and scores. They are knowledgeable about consumer protection laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These lawyers assist clients in disputing inaccurate or outdated information on their credit reports, negotiating with creditors, and protecting against unfair debt collection practices. By leveraging legal expertise, a credit repair lawyer can help you improve your creditworthiness and financial standing.
Whether you're dealing with identity theft, incorrect reporting, or harassment from debt collectors, a credit repair lawyer can provide legal assistance to ensure your rights are protected and your credit report accurately reflects your financial history.
When Should I Hire a Credit Repair Lawyer?

- Errors on Your Credit Report: If you've identified inaccuracies, such as incorrect personal information, accounts that don't belong to you, or outdated negative items, a lawyer can help dispute these errors with credit bureaus.
- Identity Theft: If you're a victim of identity theft, a lawyer can assist in removing fraudulent accounts and charges from your credit report and take legal action against the perpetrators if necessary.
- Unsuccessful Disputes: If you've tried to resolve credit report issues on your own without success, a lawyer can take more formal legal steps to correct the inaccuracies.

- Complex Legal Issues: If your credit problems involve legal complexities, such as lawsuits from creditors or violations of consumer protection laws, a lawyer's expertise is crucial.
- Need for Legal Representation: If you're considering suing a credit bureau, creditor, or debt collector for damages due to inaccurate reporting or unlawful practices, a lawyer can represent you in court.
