I did a google search on finding a lawyer in this area as I do not live here. A family member was being held at the Westchester County Jail & needed representation. Mr. Siano consulted with me via telephone & gave me advice on what I should do to assist my family member. Mr. Siano called the county clerk & obtained information regarding the case & gave me all the information I needed to help. He was kind & showed compassion towards our situation & gave expert advise without meeting me in person. After the ordeal was over, Mr. Siano even called me to check on our well-being to ensure we were ok. Fortunately, for our situation, we did not require a personal lawyer. I would highly recommend Mr. Siano to anyone who needs a lawyer as he was highly professional, kind & knowledgeable in his field of expertise. I also want to thank Mr. Siano for his help & his compassion he showed towards our situation.-SG

I have worked with Anthony DiPietro on a serious federal case and I can honestly say I am humbled by his work ethic, professionalism and sincere compassion he has for his client base. He is an attorney who truly cares about his client and their families and his skillset is at the highest level. Extremely knowledgeable on the law and is exhibited through his tenacity and ability to fight unwavering to achieve the most favorable results for those whom he defends. It has been an honor to work with this professional in all aspects.

I can't say enough good things about this firm, especially Mark Uzzo. I have had a rough time navigating several situations with my mom and her apartment in Westchester. All throughout, Mark has been there from illegal notices and threats through her passing and the subsequent challenges I faced. I have referred him to several people and they have all been very happy. I highly recommend Mark Uzzo and this firm.

Great partners who have gone above and beyond multiple times to help me and my family with real estate matters.

The new location is easy to access and easy to get to.

Russell Fayer is a wise and patient attorney. He knows how to get successfully to the end of a transaction but never loses sight of what is right. I have enjoyed many real estates deals with him and he is a constant source of prudent advise. Highly recommended!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation.
Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help.
Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children.
I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made.
Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family.
It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded.
I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

I found the communication to be less effective than I had hoped. There were instances where my questions went unanswered, and I felt a bit lost in the process without sufficient guidance. I believe there may be opportunities for improvement, especially when assisting new buyers, particularly within the Hispanic community.

I called Lever and Ecker for an initial consultation and had the opportunity to speak with Adam Weiss. In the short discussion Adam provided me with guidance on my potential case and put me in touch right away with someone in his network as this was an out of state case. Adam followed up shortly afterwards to make sure that the connection was made. I was very pleased with how Adam and his firm helped me and set me down the right path.

Six years ago I was in desperate need of help after my accident. I was desperate and had no idea what to do. I reached out to this law firm. This was the best decision I have ever made. My lawyer Daniel Ecker is one of the best he has an immaculate talent. Mr.Ecker is companionate, passionate, and extremely helpful. Daniel Ecker is the best, to say the least. Mr. Ecker was the person who helped me through the toughest time of my life. The person who believed in me and wanted justice to be served. He was the lawyer who kept me in mind throughout the long 6-year case. Although time passed and the case went long he was extremely attentive to me, my family, and my case. About a month ago Mr.Ecker and his partners were able to successfully win our cases. I recommend this law firm 1000 percent. If you believe in yourself and your case these are the lawyer you want to defend you. l especially recommend Daniel Ecker. This is an amazing law team full of individuals who are dedicated and want the best for their clients. A special Thank you to Mr. Ecker and Diana. I appreciate all you have done for me and my family.

I consulted Daniel Ecker regarding a malpractice concern about the dental care I received. Dan thoroughly reviewed the documents I had collected, discussed the case with me, and provided excellent advice. He was incredibly caring, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process.
Dan maintained consistent communication through emails and phone calls, keeping me informed about my case and ensuring I clearly understood every step. He also represented me during negotiations with the opposing side, and his expertise in his specialty areas of law helped me achieve a highly satisfactory outcome.
This case was incredibly stressful, especially since I had never been through anything like it before. I feel deeply grateful to have had Dan’s support during this challenging experience. His thoughtful advice and the time he dedicated to helping me meant more than I can express.
Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional support and dedication!

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal.
So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

I sought the services of Tracey for the sale of my home based on the recommendation of my real estate agent, who I trust without question. Lucky me. Trace was responsive, attentive and experienced. Her advice was frank and direct, which I appreciate, and her team worked seamlessly. I would not hesitate to engage her again.

Martin Rosen is an outstanding attorney who champions his clients. His ability to listen deeply and understand the nuances of my situation set him apart from the start. He is exceptionally well-versed in family and divorce law. What really impressed me is his compassionate approach—he genuinely cares about his clients while maintaining a laser-like focus on the details that matter most. His strategic advice is thoughtful and effective during a time when you most need strong counsel and experience in your corner.

I fired my high end /hotshot NYC attorneys and hired Martin Rosen 18 months into my divorce negotiations — and it was the best decision I ever made! I had been through the wringer - feeling like I wasn’t being heard by my legal team and with a nagging feeling of “This just can’t be right”. From our first meeting, Martin showed compassion and vowed to fight on my behalf and get me what was legally and morally right after a 16+ year marriage. He is a highly respected Westchester lawyer and this was obvious from the minute we stepped into the courthouse together. He knows the law inside and out, and his courtroom etiquette is superb. The settlement I got was far above and beyond what my original attorneys urged me to agree to — and if that wasn’t pleasing enough, I have also made a friend for life. Martin will have your back, he will treat you with kindness and respect, and he will fight for you both inside and outside the courtroom. He is a diamond in the rough.

Martin Rosen is an excellent attorney, one whom has been there for me throughout not only the worst times in my life, but for the times after. He is attentive, knowledgable, and usage of his services purveys one with a peace of mind that is not readily attainable with less qualified lawyers. He is direct and honest, but compassionate. If you tell Mr. Rosen the actual scenario, he will obtain the best result possible; if you are in a bad place, he will put you in a better one. He is not intimidated by snark nor malice. I have used his services for my own custody issues on multiple occasions and will continue to do so as long as his name rests over his awning.
I have severe concerns regarding the recent one star review (Chris, 2024) and strongly take issue with his brazen mischaracterization of an individual whom has been there for me at my lowest as much as any professional could be asked to. I hope he gets the help he needs, but his review reads as untrue and glib. Though his flat attempts at slander, one can see a truly gauche (nay, entitled?) interior, and I simply cannot understand why someone who clearly never even used Mr. Rosen's services feels entitled to mischaracterize one's business (and thus livlihood) as they did in such a shameful and public manner. I would strongly urge any potential clients to ignore this individual's sentiments entirely.

I am very passive and fearful. I always get taken advantage of. James Lenihan won't allow someone to take advantage of in court, he fights for you and justice. He really watched out for me. I trust his expertise. Thanks Jim

Honest, relentless, resourceful. These are the first few adjectives that come to mind when thinking of James Lenihan.
Upon hearing about Mr. Lenihan from a trusted friend, my initial reaction was that he sounded passionate and compassionate. By the end of our first phone conversation, I was ecstatic to feel "heard" by someone who could actually help me.
Mr. Lenihan listened to me and immediately produced a logical, systematic course of action representing my best interests. This was a welcome surprise after months of dealing with closed doors, ineffective counsel, and zero results. As we continue to work together, I remain in awe of how fortune I am to have him representing me.
Having dealt with multiple law firms regarding a variety of issues over the past decade or so, my highest recommendation goes to Mr. Lenihan. His breadth and depth of knowledge is extensive and multi-faceted. His network of colleagues is far-reaching. However, what makes Mr. Lenihan stand head and shoulders above the rest, is observing him in the courtroom. Brilliant is an understatement.
Anyone would be hard pressed to find a better advocate, attorney, or human. Jimmy is the best. You can trust your life in his hands, literally and figuratively. He is an everyday hero.

This so called attorney should be disbarred!! I’m still suffering from a divorce, that this man handled. First, every time he appeared in court, he was late and unprepared. Second, he never depositioned my ex-wife. Every time I asked him, his answer was. I don’t know. Third, just before the trial, he left me, to go skiing in Italy and had another lawyer, who knew nothing about my case take care of it. The end result was. I had to pay 9 yrs alimony and child support. 2950.00 per month. I only make 110k a year. I now was put in section 8, because Mr. Lenihan got his license from a Cracker Jack box. After getting screwed so badly by this man. I’ve decided to investigate. I spoke to many lawyers who know him. They all said, he is horrible. I also spoke to some judges who know him. They all said that he has a habit of being unprepared. Stay away from him. He couldn’t get you out of a parking ticket.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
