Unprofessional, a complete waste of time and money. He never returns phone calls and doesn’t show up for court appearances. I actually think this is scam and Google should remove his profile

Jeremy and his staff assisted me with a very complex and challenging international divorce and child custody case. His depth of knowledge on the nuances of child custody laws in various countries was invaluable in helping me decide what to do (and not do) over the course of a three year battle that ultimately resulted in me being reunited with my child. He is thoughtful, direct, authoritative, well-connected, deeply experienced, and confidence-inspiring -- exactly who you want to have in your corner when dealing with a complicated and stressful situation. If you are in the unfortunate position of needing the services of someone specialized in matters relating to international child custody, you will not find a stronger ally than Jeremy Morley.

Jeremy is a silver lining to me when I struggled getting my son back. I’m so glad that I reached out to him when I did not know how to proceed and I followed his advice along the way. He stopped me from going in the wrong direction and pivoted me in a proper and strategic position. THE Hague attorney I would call him. A true and unbeatable expert in the international family law field. Ms.Nag who works alongside with him is also knowledgeable, dedicated and humane. I would highly recommend this law firm!

Mr. Cordello I just wanted you to know that my former employer is stalking me. I sent him a email on September 7, 2023 demanding the $12,000 he owes me and in that letter I specifically wrote, “Should you need to contact me, use this email or USPS.” I then blocked him from calling or texting me but despite this he has left me 13 voice messages which he made threats against me. After he couldn’t call me on his cell phone he called me from his office phone. After I blocked that number he started harassing me via email.
Plus, he’s calling all my business clients including
a hearing aid manufacturer who offered me a $140,000 to open my own hearing aid business. He admitted to these issues in his voice messages. Needless to say no one will return calls including the hearing aid manufacturer and he’s doing this for the sole purpose of destroying my career and life. All this has transpired since my last day of work on September 1st 2023. He is obsessed with me and his actions have no legitimate purpose but to destroy me. If you heard these maniacal messages you wouldn’t believe it.
I have saved all the voicemails and emails and am intending to go the police to press charges for stalking but I’m afraid he’ll retaliate. I know he owns multiple firearms and I am emotionally, physically and mentally afraid. He also has a history of verbally abusing people and while I worked there he put his hands on me, without my permission, at least three times. I don’t know what to do anymore, I deliberately avoided going to a hearing aid convention earlier this month because I knew he would be there and in one of the emails he wrote,
“Can’t wait to see you.”
I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m having nightmares and in his voice messages he has this sinister laugh which I can’t get out of head. It’s tearing me apart and I’m afraid I’ll have to leave the state of NY to get away from him. I just want him to leave me alone. Mr. Cordello I’m begging you, please, please help me. I don’t know where else to go.

Excellent service and communication. I reached out to Justin on a Tuesday evening and he met with me the next day! Now I know that can’t always be the case; however his attentiveness to my needs were remarkable. He took his time to review my situation, answered all my questions and gave me great ideas and plausible options. I am very impressed with how he treats his clients.

I always felt that people become Attorney's to help people or to make money. My experience with Mr. Cordello leads me to wonder did Mr. Cordello become a lawyer solely for the money?
I say this because I'm having a problem that needs an Attorney's help with a written/email campaign to contact the State Of New New York regarding a liscening issue. It wouldn't have required courtroom time but he refused to help me and told a 59 year old man to change professions. I paid him $275 for a consultation and would be MORE than happy to pay him $275 per hour to help me.
It's extremely difficult to find employment Attorney's in rural areas because I've been trying now since January. it's obvious to me that Mr. Cordello doesn't care about me so why should he care about you?

Let me not waste your time and get straight to the point. If you need a team that will be dedicated to your case and provide not only excellence but results then you are in the right place!!! My family and I have been clients of Barre Law from the start of my immigration journey where I was nervous and scared but now I can proudly say I am a United States citizen and I could not have done it without Abadir and his amazing well crafted team that treats us like family and truly cares.
Abadir is the most talented, humble and intelligent lawyer you will ever meet. He is the right person to have on your side while navigating this important yet often emotional transition. We also had the pleasure of working with PJ Alchamat and Tito Saavedra and they embody care, precision, excellence all while not making you feel like just a number. Trust Barre Law team to get it done! I have recommended my family members and friends and will continue to do so because I have that much confidence in him and his work ethic. Thank you BARRE LAW!!

I had being through all with immigration before I met Abadir and Janelle. They are true examples of actions speak louder than words.
Despite the complications in my case, He took the load from me worrying and said in one sentence Sam I will get you your green card this year.
He activated his entire firm Greta, Melanie, and Tito made sure they were supportive and pushing to attain the goal.
The Eve of the my final interview, this firm came through like family will do. All of them calling and making sure am ok and promising me all will be fine.
Thanks to them my green card interview did not last 5 mins and case was approved.
Clients are not treated like numbers here.

I worked with Caroline in the tenant/landlord case. She was professional and cordial but persistent in helping me get the desired outcome. Overall, a pleasant and positive experience.

Upon hiring Caroline as my advocate, I immediately felt a burden lifted. Caroline takes an empathetic approach to her work, which I very much appreciated while navigating such a stressful situation that involved the landlord, insurance, and other building tenants. She is easily accessible, takes the time to explain everything in detail, and also listens to any concerns you have without casting judgement. I also appreciated the fact that she did not try to overcharge me for minor interactions, which I'm sure other lawyers would, and was mindful about delegating certain tasks to paralegals to help save me some money. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a competent lawyer who provides peace of mind.

From the moment I was put in touch with Caroline, she was professional, reassuring, thorough and diligent in working with me on my landlord/tenant case. She listened carefully to every detail of my case, asked questions when necessary, and always kept me in the loop with her progress on the case. In addition to her legal expertise, she was extremely compassionate, understanding and clear-headed -- which did wonders to help me during a very stressful period of my life. I highly recommend her, especially with cases that may have difficult or extenuating circumstances.

Mr Artel reviewed my portfolio and helped me to draft a business plan for a commercial venture I presented in my homeland of Cambodia. He also served as a liaison to facilitate my communications with government officials in attempts to secure work with the Khmer Rouge tribunal proceedings in Cambodia.

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 terrible disappointment. I never wanted to go through a law suit in my life, but since I was hit by a car family and friends urged to do so. I don’t recommend suing.
I did everything I was supposed to do, went to doctors appointments, physical therapy, etc. I didn’t do this because of the law suit, I did it because I was in pain. This case has been going on since 2018 and my trial was November 2021.
I met my lawyer for the first time a week before my trial. The FIRST. I was supposed to “meet him” in 2018 when signing legal documents but instead I met his secretary and was told he was too busy. The second time at the office (when I did my deposition) I met one of his colleagues who was purchasing Christmas presents for his children next to me and not listening to a word I’m saying.
He did not go over my case with me until WEEKS before a trial. And when I say go over l, I mean a half hour lunch that he was two hours late for.
I never felt confident with him, I never even met him! He absolutely didn’t go over all the paperwork ,which resulted in me looking like a liar to the jury, because he didn’t even know everything he needed to about me. The defense used the same documents against me. I strongly believe if he would have read the documents and did his JOB. Today would have been a different story.
It’s not my job to go through all the paper work and documents, that’s what you hire a lawyer for. Now I wish I had, and never hired him.
Find somebody else who actually cares about his cases instead of taking on a bunch and hoping he wins one for a fat pay check.

To answer: I was never given the option to become a client of your firm.
Your offices reviewed my matter and declined to represent me.
I don't have a problem with this, but what does bother me (and the reason for my 1 star review) is that your attorney didn't even offer a cursory explanation of why he declined to represent me. He simply had his secretary call and tell me that he wouldn't pursue the matter.
It's a lack of basic professionalism, and bothered me enough to rate your firm 1 star.

Honestly, honestly, if I could give zero stars, I would I have never met people who are so rude and don’t want to help at all. I called with a question. I was transferred to two different people and then finally told that they can’t give me the answer, but it wasn’t even a kind, respectful response it was rude and telling me that I would have to pay them to receive an answer yes or no but she told me that she’s not so she can’t give me the answer but if I pay her, she can give me the answer in November.

Since I have been associated with your firm I have been so impressed by the expertise, professionalism, kindness and patience of everyone with whom I have had contact, an impressive number!
I would like to bring special attention to Chris Hersom, my assigned attorney, who came to my house and in the course of our talk learned that my sons work led to a totally different line of thought. His depositions have brought compensation all due to Chris’s expertise.
Going from being seriously skeptical of any result from this exercise to having a settlement is beyond amazing and I am beyond grateful to your firm. I am not a litigious person and only did this to make a “statement” in some way because I feel victimized.
And again thanks to Chris Hersom who knew the questions to ask, the direction to take my son and I through with patience and grace and to all of your other members/staff with whom I have been in contact and been patient with my questions, so impressive.

Belluck & Fox did everything they said they'd do. During discussions with my lawyer, what was outlined in terms of the process and what would happen, they checked those boxes. My life has been changed forever by asbestos and it has caused a lot of physical damage to me. I had to have major surgeries and the firm was able to get financial compensation. They hold folks accountable, so it's a bit of a mental relief. My attorney Chris Hersom listened. He was very patient and understanding which was great, you don't find too many attorneys like that, they're more cut to the chase. He was focused on helping me and everybody that I dealt with at the office in New York was helpful. It got to the point where when I called they actually knew me. Heysell Brenes who works there, would help with things that had nothing to do with her. I don't know how to thank her enough through the whole process. Everybody at the office worked together as a team. It's almost like not dealing with a law firm, you're dealing with a family that's trying to help you.

I gave them a star because you must give them something. However this is the worst law firm ever. I wouldn’t recommended them what so ever( pay attention to the signs from the beginning)I am very disgusted with their communication and the way they operate in this office. I have worked with my attorney for over 20years and he was able to provide me with great referrals if the case wasn’t his expertise. unfortunately he passed young. I have been trying to build a new relationship with a law firm after 2 weeks of calling, leaving voicemails (Just to get a response if my case will be taken )however no one has heard my case whatsoever and on today’s date young lady(office manager)tells me to simply find a new law office because she can’t force the attorney to call and their are thousand of them I can call 🤦🏽♀️ If I was told that from the start I wouldn’t continue calling that’s one. I thought I was being patient by waiting on them to respond to my voicemails and instead it backfired. Are they really busy 🙄I really hope you guys are not keeping them busy because people like this are not genuine people and have 0 customer service skills.(it goes a long way) I was wondering why they kept changing people and there’s no new reviews 🤔 (reviews are mainly about Kristina, she is no longer there) It’s absolutely clear now they are not improving. They are probably over there finishing up their pending cases. When I was given their contact information by my attorney it was in 2014. Yes I do keep my contacts because you never know when you need it but moving forward they will be deleted,after many years of keeping them on my phone 😂. I just wish my attorney was still here so I can tell him this LAW FIRM SUCKED 👎 I never really like writing reviews However I’m starting to understand The logic in them and when people are wrong and only when they are wrong and it effected in me in some way, I actually look forward to saving someone else from going through the same experience Plus like they said they are plenty of attorney office out there!!!so they won’t be missing out on nothing right? 🤷♀️ I say take your chances look elsewhere…. if I find the perfect one I might just come back and point ya in a better direction.

What a Discrimination Lawyer Can Do for You
A discrimination lawyer specializes in handling cases where individuals or groups face unfair treatment based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. These lawyers assist clients in filing discrimination claims, representing them in legal proceedings, and ensuring that their rights under federal, state, and local laws are upheld. Discrimination cases may arise in employment, housing, education, public accommodations, or other settings.
Whether you’ve been discriminated against at work, denied housing, or treated unfairly in other areas of life, a discrimination lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation or corrective action.
When Should I Hire a Discrimination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a discrimination lawyer in several situations where unfair treatment occurs based on protected characteristics. Common scenarios include:
-
Employment Discrimination:
- Workplace discrimination: If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your race, gender, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or another protected status, a lawyer can help you file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency.
- Wrongful termination: If you were fired due to discrimination or retaliation for reporting discriminatory behavior, a lawyer can assist with filing a lawsuit and seeking compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.
- Failure to promote: If you’ve been denied a promotion or opportunities due to discriminatory practices, a lawyer can investigate the claim and represent you in legal actions against your employer.
- Harassment: If you’ve experienced workplace harassment, such as sexual harassment or a hostile work environment based on your race, gender, or other characteristics, a lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
-
Housing Discrimination:
- Denial of housing: If you’ve been denied housing due to your race, disability, family status, or other protected factors, a lawyer can help you file a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or sue the landlord or property manager for violating the Fair Housing Act.
- Unfair rental practices: If a landlord or property manager treats you unfairly based on discriminatory factors (e.g., refusing reasonable accommodations for a disability), a lawyer can help you enforce your rights.
-
Education Discrimination:
- Discrimination in schools: If you or your child has faced discrimination in an educational setting based on race, disability, gender, or religion, a lawyer can help you file complaints under laws like Title VI, Title IX, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
-
Public Accommodations:
- Denial of services: If a business or public service has discriminated against you based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics, a lawyer can assist you in filing a complaint or lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other anti-discrimination laws.
Hiring a discrimination lawyer early can help protect your rights and ensure that your claim is filed within legal deadlines.
What Does a Discrimination Lawyer Do?
A discrimination lawyer provides a range of legal services to help individuals and groups fight against discriminatory practices. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing discrimination claims: A lawyer can help you file a complaint with government agencies, such as the EEOC, HUD, or your state’s human rights commission. They ensure that your claim is properly documented and filed within required time limits.
- Investigating discrimination claims: Discrimination lawyers gather evidence, interview witnesses, and review documents to build a strong case for proving discriminatory practices.
- Negotiating settlements: In many cases, a lawyer can negotiate a settlement with the employer, landlord, or other party involved in the discrimination case, seeking compensation or corrective action without going to trial.
- Representing clients in court: If your case goes to court, a lawyer will represent you during hearings, present evidence, and argue your case before a judge or jury.
- Handling retaliation claims: If you face retaliation for filing a discrimination complaint or reporting discriminatory practices, a lawyer can help you pursue a retaliation claim.
- Advising on legal rights: A discrimination lawyer explains your legal rights under federal and state anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the ADA, the Fair Housing Act, and others.
How Are Discrimination Lawyers Paid?
Discrimination lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the expected duration of the legal process. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: Many discrimination lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly rate: For cases that don’t involve a contingency fee arrangement, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates for discrimination lawyers generally range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler legal tasks, such as drafting a discrimination complaint or providing legal advice, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some discrimination lawyers offer pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services, especially in cases involving low-income clients or significant civil rights issues.
It’s important to discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation to ensure that you understand the total cost of legal services and how payment will be handled.
How Much Does a Discrimination Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a discrimination lawyer depends on factors like the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the potential for a settlement or trial. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, their fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win a settlement of $50,000 and the lawyer’s fee is 30%, they would receive $15,000, and you would keep the remaining $35,000.
- Hourly rates: Discrimination lawyers who charge by the hour typically bill between $200 and $600 per hour. For example, a case that takes 20 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $6,000 in legal fees.
- Flat fees: Some legal services, such as filing a discrimination complaint or providing a legal consultation, may be available for a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
- Pro bono or sliding scale fees: In some cases, particularly for low-income individuals, lawyers may offer reduced fees or work pro bono.
Always ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation, and clarify whether the lawyer offers flexible payment options.
Top Questions to Ask a Discrimination Lawyer
Before hiring a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with discrimination cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled discrimination cases similar to yours, whether it involves employment, housing, or public accommodation discrimination. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs. -
What are my chances of success?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and the likelihood of success. -
How long will the process take?
Discrimination cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take, from filing a complaint to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will I need to go to court?
Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare. -
What damages or remedies can I seek?
Ask about the types of compensation or corrective action you can pursue, such as back pay, emotional distress damages, job reinstatement, or policy changes. -
What steps should I take to protect my rights?
Ask for advice on how to document evidence, handle workplace or housing interactions, and avoid retaliation while your case is pending.
How to Check the Credibility of a Discrimination Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable discrimination lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and in good standing with the state bar association. You can check this on your state bar’s website.
- Look for discrimination case experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in employment law, civil rights, or discrimination cases and have successfully handled similar cases in the past.
- 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 their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on discrimination matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for certifications or memberships in civil rights organizations or employment law associations, such as the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed account of the discrimination: Provide a clear description of the discriminatory actions, including dates, locations, and individuals involved. Document specific incidents and any witnesses who can support your claim.
- Workplace or housing records: Bring copies of relevant employment or housing documents, such as job performance evaluations, rental agreements, emails, or written correspondence related to the discrimination.
- Company or organization policies: If the discrimination occurred in the workplace or housing, bring copies of company policies, employee handbooks, or housing agreements that outline anti-discrimination policies.
- Evidence of damages: Provide evidence of any financial losses, such as lost wages, job termination, or increased rent, as well as emotional or psychological distress caused by the discrimination.
- Previous complaints or actions: If you’ve filed previous complaints or taken any action related to the discrimination, such as reporting the issue to HR or filing a complaint with a government agency, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about the process: Prepare a list of questions about your legal options, potential outcomes, and the lawyer’s approach to handling your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for pursuing your discrimination claim.
