I had the pleasure of working with Phil Sayles on two separate legal matters, one for myself and one for my son, and despite being based in New York, he was incredibly helpful in resolving both issues here in Seattle, Washington. Phil was responsive, compassionate, and took the time to explain the legal process in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise and attention to detail gave me peace of mind throughout each case. Even with the geographic distance, Phil was always available for consultation and provided outstanding support. I highly recommend Phil Sayles to anyone in need of legal services, regardless of location. His professionalism and commitment to his clients are unmatched.

George is a very dedicating that will do all his best to put you at the most favor condition as possible. When I had a couple of condition give in probation rules. There are couple of rules that he would like to get rid of for my sake as he knows I would be reliable to do no such things harmful. This was my first time getting into this area of criminal. My head was expecting nothing. I'm totally clueless about myself, what do I do, what I have to do or what do i need to do. For all my life I have been living good, I never thought I would be in such scenario like I did today. Thanks to George, he really takes your times to give you a lot of insight and did his best make the best result out of your case. He is very patience and communicate. I would strongly recommend to have him help your case. 100% for sure he will do all the best he can to make sure you are in a good place. I'm very grateful that he is my attorney and help me in my case. Thank you very much for being my lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Arbeit as my Lawyer was fantastic! I was able to hire him only the day before my court date and he made sure he was ready. He was discrete, compassionate, and he was always only a phone call away, yes he actually gave me his cell so he answers every call himself.. I was very satisfied and I am grateful to have him as my lawyer and will recommend him to everyone..

Michael Arbeit is a great lawyer, professional, on point and takes your case very seriously for you to have a positive outcome and to win. And before I hired Mr. Arbeit, I went through many recommendations and reviews until I found his firm and later called. Once I called I was transfer to him and then explained my situation and got my free consultation. Later that week of August 5th. We meet and right away he told me that he can have a positive outcome for my case. I felt relieved and calm.
I recommend Michael Arbeit for his excellence and professionalism at any time. He’s an excellent lawyer.

I read the past review about Jaime before calling him and knew immediately I'd like this guy and what do you know, 10 minutes into the call, he has me cackling on the phone. I've spoken to dozens of lawyers at this point about my landlord-tenant case, but I can say that out of all these people, Jaime truly cares for your wellbeing. Not only could he relate to the issues I've been dealing with, but he also shows compassion towards me, and is honest, transparent, and thoughtful in his responses. You'll find lawyers that want to take your money and rake up the charges, but I can tell he'd spend the diligent time fighting for my rights to ensure I can sleep soundly at night.
I'm still figuring out my next steps in this case, but he's the first person I'd call to move forward with! Thanks Jaime!!!

Jaime is a beast at this. I called this man with a situation that had me so mad i couldn't even explain to him correctly . I hung up because at this point i was so mad that im sure he could not understand me. He kindly called me back. I yelled at this man from the top of my lungs assuming he was going to treat me as other attorneys i tried calling prior to Jaime. Some even saying i dont understand you, you sound chinese. This man took his time to research and recommend me some actions i should take towards my situation. Somthing other attorneys could not provide me with. He did all this for free ! I suggest you stop the search and give this homie a call .

Jaime spent one hour and 12 minutes on the phone with me painting the reality of the legal system here in NY for a naïve dork who just moved here and was scammed. He was direct (one big reason I just moved back to the East Coast) and helped create a new angle that may help me with my challenge before I have to jump and swim in a whole heap of bureaucratic mess I would prefer not to play in. I hope I never have to play with the law again after I settle into my life here in the big apple. I felt there were enough things I experienced in my conversation with Jaime that would lead me to trust him. He tells stories in a way that truly helped me to see some of what I need to see. He is straight forward and blunt and I could detect enough heart in him that would see him as someone with whom I would like to team. Thank you for your time tonight Jaime.
Best,
Rhena

Adam stepped in during a difficult situation for a PRB hearing with 24 hours to prepare. His knowledge and confidence resonated during the hearing. With his help my significant other is coming home. I can never thank him enough for all he has done. These last months have been so difficult but all that being said Adam stepped in and was amazing.

Adam came highly recommended by an other attorney and now I can see why. He was able to obtain my vehicle back after it had been seized by the police. His vast knowledge in this type of matters resulted in getting the civil case dismissed. I was in constant communication with him throughout this entire process. There wasn’t a call or text of mine that he wouldn’t answer.

If you’re reading this review today, chances are you or someone you know are in need of representation in the court of law. I hired Adam Bolotin in February of 2020, after an unfortunate misunderstanding that led to my untimely separation from my company and a dream career that I had waited for over 35yrs:(
Due to the pandemic the city of Chicago literally shut down in March of 2020, which pushed my court dates further and further back, with the unknown and uncertainties, a widespread pandemic and no employment I found myself at a low point in my life, but through it all, Adam was extremely encouraging and reassuring by reminding me of how he was going to fight for me and that the law was there to protect me. I will forever be in this man’s debt as he time and time again rushed to represent me even after the case was dismissed, yet my new employer needed some legal final papers. Adam has definitely restored my faith in humanity.
Thank God for attorneys who remain faithful to their oath to protect the citizens of this country.
Today I am with a different company doing the same dream career and enjoying my life, thanks to Adam’s continued support and legal representation.

Mathew Perrone resolved my case in just 2 court appearances. He was able to work out a great offer, due to his commendable character and professional demeanor. Ultimately, the charge was reduced to a simple violation, after I was unjustly threatened with probation for several months prior--under a "different" lawyer who was incompetent.
I would recommend Mathew Perrone to friends and family, without hesitation.
I am extremely grateful for his expertise and professionalism.

I spoke with Mathew Perrone, Esq. After consulting with several other attorneys about my pending DWI case in a Westchester county criminal court. I found Mr. Perrone very knowledgeable, and he also has an empathic side to him that the other attorneys I spoke to didn’t possess. Thankfully my gut was correct, and not only did he expose issues with the case, but I ended up walking away with a none criminal disposition and a new friend. I can’t thank you enough of all you did for me and my family.

I was hesitant to contact an injury lawyer at first, as my accident was still fresh, but I am so glad I reached out and found Dan Smyth. He was massive help during a turbulent time.
I wish there were 10 stars on this review because I would give them all to Dan. I could not recommend him enough. He showed such compassion and took care of every little thing for me during the duration of my case. I relocated mid-case to the other side of the country and his communication and care did not waiver.
No question all other lawyers at the practice will possess the same great qualities.

I spoke with maybe 2 different law firm before the lawyer Alexander Zugaro I was victim of abuse in my workplace in different ways
Alex immediately did an interview with me and his team, Mr. Humberto Alvarez who spoke to me in Spanish.Humberto made me feel very comfortable. He is very professional. He is the kind of person who wants to help.
If you are victim of sexual harassment discrimination at your work place please call and ask for Humberto or Alex
They got me the best result which for privacy reasons I can't talk about.It
I hope my employer , managers etc ... has learned the lesson.

From first contact to resolution, Blake Ferris and his team treated me with the upmost professionalism and respect during the most difficult time in my life. More importantly, they didn't treat me just as a client, taking the time to keep me updated and helping ease my fears and concerns throughout the entire process. Blake went above and beyond any expectations I had from an attorney. I am forever grateful for the compassion and dedication from everyone at Phillips & Associates.

This was my first time being involved in a lawsuit so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was definitely nervous but from the beginning Matt Rice and paralegal Cindy Rivera put me at ease. They made me feel comfortable, heard and like they really understood me. Throughout the entire process they kept me informed and were always available for any questions I had which was very important to me since I was not familiar with this process. I absolutely felt like I was important and my case really mattered to them. I am beyond pleased with the results, and while I hope to not need legal services again, if I do, Fellows, Hymowitz and Rice will definitely be my first call.

Chris and his staff were a pleasure to work with during a fairly difficult period of my life. They explained all the steps of my divorce clearly, patiently and were very prompt with communications. I felt heard and advocated for. We even had a few laughs along the way. In short, they were all professional and personable, which is a very rare combination indeed; I am a former paralegal so I can attest to this. I cannot recommend Affronti, LLC enough.

My husband and I bought a property in NYC using Mina Kennedy as our attorney. We were given her name by my son who had purchased an apartment two years earlier in the city. He said that Mina was the best part of his experience. We discovered the same. She is a talented and knowledgeable real estate attorney that really had our backs. When things got complicated with problems in the building, she made sure we knew what was going on and the potential for future assessments. When the sellers wanted an all-cash offer, we held tight with her help and completed the deal with the mortgage intact. She responded quickly to all our inquiries and reacted quickly to the realtors and the sellers’ attorney when we needed her to do so. She is whip-smart and utterly reliable. Although I have bought and sold a number of properties in two other states prior to this experience we discovered NYC real estate is an animal all its own. We needed a great attorney and we got one. Thank you, Mina!

Just WOW!!! Amazing. I had the privilege of working with Alberto Ebanks, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Unlike other lawyers, he did not try to sell me himself from our first call. From the moment he examined my case, it was clear he is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and straightforward. His military background shines through in his disciplined approach—he took the time to analyze every detail and explain the process clearly, without ever needing to sell himself. What truly impressed me was his determination to go above and beyond. He didn’t just settle for the bare minimum; he fought for the best possible outcome, one I didn’t even think was an option for my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only understanding but also committed to achieving exceptional results, Alberto Ebanks is the person to trust. I will be recommending him to all my contacts in search of legal representation. Thank you, Alberto

Updated review. I cannot stress to anybody reading this enough: who you hire matters and you get what you pay for. Attorney’s have case after case slide across their desk. It’s a job at the end of the day to most. If Aaron Shapiro or the force that is Amanda Schaffer takes your case, TRUST THEM. Full disclosure: I am a nightmare client. On a scale from 1-10, I’m an 11 in terms of annoying. My son is my absolute world. I have been a “white pony” more times than you can imagine. Over-billed. None of it made sense. Those attorneys cared about a paycheck. Aaron and Amanda are not only EXCELLENT attorneys, they’re good people. They have a backbone. Their time is valuable. They’re not cheap. Know that. When your child, freedom, or immigration status is on the line — don’t put it in the hands of someone who treats you like a file. The legal progress is exhausting (mentally and financially — I know it all too well.) It’s unfair. Read that again.
No attorney should ever promise you a victory. Here’s what this random stranger who’s been put through the wringer for 3 years can promise you first hand — this firm cares and they’re your best shot.

I'm not one to typically write reviews, but my experience with Amanda Shaffer from The Shapiro Law Firm was truly exceptional and warranted sharing.
I had the pleasure of working with Amanda on my immigration case, and I must say, she exceeded my expectations in every way. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to her clients are truly exceptional.
Unfortunately, my case was previously mishandled by another lawyer, who failed to properly file my application, leading to potential denial. However, Amanda Shaffer stepped in and quickly turned things around. She was frustrated by the mistakes made by my previous lawyer and immediately took action to combat their response.
Amanda's expertise and knowledge of immigration law are impressive. She took the time to understand my situation, answered all my questions, and provided clear guidance throughout the complex immigration process. Her attention to detail and ability to navigate intricate immigration laws with ease are truly remarkable.
What impressed me most was Amanda's proactive approach to resolving my case. She identified solutions and opportunities that I hadn't considered and worked tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome. Her dedication and commitment to her clients are unparalleled.
I also valued Amanda's empathetic and understanding nature, which made a difficult and stressful situation more manageable. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to listen made me feel heard and validated.
I highly recommend Amanda Shaffer and The Shapiro Law Firm to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and empathetic immigration lawyer. Amanda is a true asset to her profession, and I feel fortunate to have had her by my side during a challenging time.
Thank you, Amanda, for your outstanding service, support, and dedication. You truly made a difference in my life and helped me achieve my immigration goals, despite the mistakes of my previous lawyer!

I was arrested for DWI and Assault in Fairport, NY. I was a passenger in a car driven by my girlfriend. We had stopped in the road to make a turn and a car rear ended us.
The impact was so great that the car was totaled. I had to climb out of the driver side window and that is when the driver who hit us told the Police that I was the driver.
The driver of the other car came over to me and started a fight and I had to defend myself and my girlfriend.
I immediately contacted Mr. Morabito to represent me for the criminal charges of DWI, assault and traffic tickets. If I was convicted of DWI, I would have lost my job.
If I was convicted of assault, I could have been looking at jail time. Mr. Morabito did such an amazing job that all my charges were dismissed at trial.

It’s been a year since I was served court papers. Should’ve read the one star reviews. Attorney set me back thousands and gave the impression that there was NEVER any intention to win my case. Lack of communication, charging me for fruitless research. None of that is important now. I’ve since tried to self-delete several times since and my life has never been worse since. This is what greed and dishonesty does to people. This law firm took my money so I have the right o share my experience

Mr. Casale would have to be one of the most intelligent and well educated attorneys in all areas of law that I have ever been fortunate to meet. I was introduced to him through one of my colleagues at the hospital. As the President of my Nurses Union at the time and a staff nurse I had encountered an issue due to the vaccine mandate. He was extremely knowledgeable in all areas of law including constitutional. Mr. Casale explains everything clearly and always returns calls. Anyone who is looking for an attorney rest assure if you utilize Francis X. Casale Jr's services you will be in competent hands.

Couple years ago, I made a stupid decision that not only almost cost me my career, but my life itself. While the mental health system as well as the justice system was failing me, Thomas Jackson's work allowed me to be the man I am today. It's been 7 years since I almost lost my life and was incarcerated for it, facing several serious lifetime problem charges. I now have a home, fiance and a career. My record is clean. I couldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his practice. Thank you, Thomas.

What a Drug Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A drug crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of offenses involving controlled substances. These offenses can range from simple possession to more serious charges like distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or possession with intent to distribute. Drug crimes can involve illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, as well as the unauthorized use or distribution of prescription medications.
A drug crime lawyer has in-depth knowledge of federal and state drug laws and can navigate the complexities of the legal system to protect your rights. They can challenge the prosecution's evidence, negotiate plea deals, and represent you in court to potentially reduce charges, dismiss the case, or minimize penalties.
When Should I Hire a Drug Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a drug crime lawyer as soon as possible in the following situations:
- Under Investigation: If you suspect you are being investigated for a drug-related offense, consulting a lawyer early can help you avoid self-incrimination and prepare a defense strategy.
- Arrested or Charged: If you have been arrested or formally charged with a drug crime, immediate legal representation is crucial to protect your rights and begin building your defense.
- Search and Seizure Issues: If law enforcement has conducted a search of your person, vehicle, or property, a lawyer can assess whether your Fourth Amendment rights were violated and if any evidence can be suppressed.
- Facing Serious Penalties: Drug charges can carry severe consequences, including jail time, hefty fines, probation, mandatory rehabilitation programs, and a permanent criminal record.
- Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, conspiracy, trafficking across state or national borders, or allegations of involvement with organized crime require specialized legal expertise.
What Does a Drug Crime Lawyer Do?
A drug crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:
- Legal Consultation and Advice: Explain the charges against you, your rights, and the potential consequences. They will help you understand the legal process and your options.
- Case Investigation: Examine the details of your case, including police reports, evidence, and witness statements, to identify weaknesses or violations of legal procedures.
- Defense Strategy Development: Create a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the legality of the search and seizure, disputing possession, or questioning the credibility of witnesses.
- Negotiating with Prosecutors: Work to negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court Representation: Represent you in all court proceedings, advocating on your behalf during hearings, trials, and sentencing.
- Protecting Your Rights: Ensure that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
- Post-Trial Assistance: Assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or expungement of records if applicable.

Drug crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and geographic location.
- Flat Fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, providing cost predictability.
- Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. The retainer may need to be replenished as the case progresses.
- Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

- Flat Fees: For less complex cases (e.g., simple possession charges), flat fees might range from $2,000 to $7,500.
- Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, felonies, or trafficking can cost $10,000 to $50,000 or more due to the extensive legal work required.
- Trial Costs: If your case goes to trial, costs can increase significantly, potentially exceeding $25,000.
Additional costs may include:
- Expert Witness Fees: Costs for specialists who may testify on your behalf, such as forensic experts or toxicologists.
