Grace Law and their outstanding team did an outstanding job with our case. The lawyer's Zino and Jordan, and their team Charmaine, Graceille, and Joana always kept us updated on our tasks and kept the case moving forward with a very favorable outcome. Having a team of laywer's that are able to give you peace of mind while facing uncertainty is what kept us sane while going through this process. I cannot thank them enough.

There are not enough words in the dictionary for me to properly describe just how wonderful Scott Rahn is, not only as an attorney but as a human being as well. He handled a trust/probate nightmare for me a few years ago. He is incredible. He is the most brilliant and compassionate attorney I have ever known. If I ever needed to, I would hire him again and again.... and again.

Without even charging me, she reviewed a complex special needs trust issue and found an attorney for my mother near where my mother lives.
Leslie clearly knows her stuff but is also caring and compassionate. I recommend her highly.

A friend referred me to Leslie when I needed some legal advice. I was in a jam and all the attorneys I contacted didn't know how to help me. In fact, one said "There isn't a way to resolve this". I was panicked! Then I spoke with Leslie who calmly told me what I needed to do. It worked like a charm!
She is the BEST!

Panish, and specifically my attorney Jonathan Davidi, did an exceptional job representing me for a very sensitive and emotional matter. In fact, I initially was represented by another law firm for around a year and a half, who left my case completely stagnant. I was skeptical that the matter would ever get resolved. Once I found and retained Panish as my new representation, Mr. Davidi got me a resolution that exceeded my expectations in only a few months.
Mr. Davidi's expertise, professionalism, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He not only delivered results, but also provided the reassurance and confidence I needed during a difficult time.
If you are seeking legal representation, I highly recommend Mr. Davidi and the Panish team.

Nick Yoka and the team of Panish, Shea & Ravipudi LLP did a fantastic job representing my family in a product liability personal injury lawsuit against a corporation that is known to be very aggressive when it comes to litigation. It was our first involvement in a lawsuit, and Nick and Adam patiently guided us through the process every step of the way, strategized with us, conducted thorough research and aggressive settlement negotiations. They were always reliable, knowledgeable, caring, responsive and supportive. They ended up getting us a very high settlement and we are grateful for all they’ve done for our family.

The night of Nov. 14, 2022 was one of the darkest nights of our lives. A city water main had burst and destroyed our home – for the second time in two years. We had lost everything, twice, and were surviving second by second, minute by minute, wondering how we were going to pick up the pieces and move forward.
Then a friend introduced us to Jesse Creed, and he agreed to represent us in a lawsuit against the city that had twice destroyed our home. From that moment, my husband and I felt like we could breathe again, that we were safe. We believed that Jesse would fight for us, protect us and make us whole – and he did.
For two years, we had complete trust in Jesse and his team, and they never let us down. In the end, we agreed to a settlement with the city that is allowing us to rebuild our future.
Along the way, we knew that Jesse would protect us, advocate for us and guide us. He responded to every text and every question. Even when our concerns might have seemed inconsequential, Jesse made it clear that he wanted to know what was on our minds. With Jesse Creed and his team, we went from broken and lost to hopeful. The amount of time he spent on our case was astounding. We can’t imagine where we would be today without him.
We would encourage anyone who finds themselves in a horrible situation like this, lost and alone and unsure where to turn, to reach out to Panish Shea, and especially Jesse Creed. For us, it was a life-saving and life-changing decision.

We consulted Alena for assistance in our case unknowing if we really had one and if we could achieve justice for a very special person in our family. From the beginning Alena was compassionate, caring and very knowledgeable. We felt comfortable and at ease knowing our case was in her hands. She was very informative and she explained things to us that made sense, she let us know what was occurring and what will happen throughout the whole process. This case meant so much to our family, not for compensation but for justice for the man whom held our family together.. She was our saving grace from the very beginning. The outcome was more then we expected and we will forever be grateful for her. We can never explain how much this meant to us. Thank you Alena for your hard work and dedication, you fought for our family when not many would. We appreciated you then and now.
Thank you again.

Alena is smart, strong, fearless, resourceful, resilient and compassionate. She represented me and my wife when everyone else was too scared to take on such a big hospital in such a complicated malpractice case. During the most brutal, hardest time in our lives, Alena was there for us. Fought for us. And made sure we were taken care of. We'll never forget her.

Alena handled my criminal case and did so brilliantly. I was extremely overwhelmed having been arrested and having no idea what to do next. A good friend suggested I call Alena. He told me that Alena was aggressive in court and had an ability to communicate with the prosecutors in a way that would benefit resolution of my case. Boy, was that true. Alena showed up in court and all I needed to do was watch. She knew her way around the courtroom and the prosecutors. She was very friendly but assertive. She fought for me and explained everything to me clearly and willingly. After several appearances my case was resolved. I Was so relieved and so thankful!

I reached out to Maryann for legal representation / advice.
She helped me out even when there was no benefit to her whatsoever.
She patiently took the time to call me back, in person, talk about my situation and answer my questions, even though she probably knew there was no case, (ie future business) before she picked up the phone.
She put my mind at at ease so I knew I was taking the best course of action. She really made me feel like she was on my side.
If you are considering Maryann Gallagher, this is a glimpse into how she treats people.

I love everything about the Law offices of Maryann Gallagher and her staff. Mrs. Gallagher treated me as if I was her only client. Her knowledge of the law is second to none. If I could rate my experience with her a "20" I would. I felt like family and I will always use Maryann for my legal needs. Kudos MPG.

I recently had the privilege of working with Karla Waymire for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Navigating family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Karla's support and expertise made the entire process significantly easier. From our initial consultation, Karla demonstrated a genuine understanding of my situation and listened attentively to my concerns. She patiently explained the legal complexities involved. I truly appreciated her clear and honest communication style. She never made promises she couldn't keep, and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Karla Waymier to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and empathetic family law attorney. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support, and I am thrilled with the results she achieved for me.

Back in 2020 I hired Yang Law Firm for my child support case. They were horrible. I mean, between every 2 months before even going to court, they swapped my lawyers out. It was so bad that one lawyer even sent me an email to introduce herself that she didn't even know my daughter's name. Not that she misspelled it but gave my daughter a completely different name that was remotely close to her first, middle or last name. It got so bad with them I wrote a Google review while they were working on my case because I was so fed up with having to add money to my retainer but haven't even spoke to anyone with any information on my case. Once I submitted the review on here the owner Elizabeth Yang called my phone and told me that if I remove my review that she would remove any payments owed for my retainer and I would get a new contract for a fixed retainer just so I have representation in court. By the time court took place they had some random who I never met at the courthouse with me. He didn't even ask me to testify at my own hearing for child support. I ended up giving them over $14k and they didn't even have discovery on my behalf. They are so rude and unprofessional. My issue now is that I removed the genuine review I wrote, signed a new fixed rate retainer just for them to show up to court and then they sent me a bill for over $21k. Elizabeth Yang and all her lawyers are frauds. Do not use their services at all. Not to mention, "paying" someone to remove a Google review is illegal. Especially if they lie about charges and still give you a bill for work they never did after the fact. The email from them states clear as day to stop working on my case until I pay. If I never paid them then how is it that Rhoneil showed up to court for my hearing even tho he had no idea what he was doing? If they never got paid then they wouldn't have shown up. Not to mention a retainer is paid upfront and the firm is not supposed to surpass your retainer amount and create a bill that never existed. I hope this review with the proof to go with it allows you all to know that there are better options than them. If I could give them zero stars I would. Filing a complaint as well and writing a BBB report.

I made a costly mistake by not terminating Yang Law sooner. I engaged Yang Law to assist with a 100% amicable divorce, with all stipulations agreed to by both parties. After asking me questions about my case, I was told that it could be handled by a paralegal, so I put my trust in Yang Law and put down a retainer. To date, I have been charged over $4,000 and the only action that has occured is the paralegal filled out and mailed three 2-3 page forms. The paralegal asked for 20+ pieces of financial, and other pertinent information and invoiced thousands of dollars for their "review". I was then sent a boiler plate agreement that did not match my case, given no instruction, and was in told by Yang Law to modify it on my own. I am not an attorney and, when I expressed my reservations about a DIY approach, I was told they were trying to "save me money". I proceeded to do my best with the agreement and send it back to their paralegal. It's been three months since then without feedback. After five frustrating months, I intend to seek another attorney.

On behalf of Matt and Christine Capelouto, the parents of Alexandra Capelouto, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to attorney Baruch Cohen for his exceptional dedication and expertise in helping us win a $5.8 million judgment against drug dealer Brandon McDowell. This landmark victory in bankruptcy court represents a first-of-its-kind decision, and we couldn't have achieved it without Baruch's unwavering commitment to justice and accountability. His professionalism, compassion, and relentless pursuit of the truth have made a profound difference not only in our case but also in setting a precedent for holding drug dealers accountable. We highly recommend Baruch Cohen to anyone seeking a tenacious and skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients and their cause. Thank you, Baruch, for standing with us and for being a part of this historic moment.

I am so grateful that I found Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law to represent me as my lawyer for my restraining order case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. What stood out to me the most was his kind, warm, and empathetic personality. Dealing with a stressful legal situation and the emotional pain of assault was incredibly difficult, but Joshua’s understanding and compassion made the entire process much more manageable.
Not only is Joshua Fabian a genuinely caring person, but he is also exceptionally intelligent and deeply knowledgeable about the law. I always felt confident that he was working diligently on my behalf and had my back throughout the entire process. Joshua was incredibly thorough and took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and how to get me justice. He ensured he was well-prepared at every step, which made me feel so relieved, and that I didn't have to worry as much, because he had things handled.
Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law is an excellent family law attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services in this area.

Ms. Natoli provided helpful tips on finding self- help information. Your question about of whether I would hire this lawyer should be optional because I am just commenting on the information provided online. I should think more would be included in determining whether to hire an attorney or not. Is Shyster a bad word? Shyster is a bad word; I Googled it. The other day I came across a white fellow who said his only friend was a gun and that he needed more friends (ie., more guns). Perhaps he thinks most humans are full of fecal matter and only out for themselves. I guess some people truthfully conclude that in the end no one will be able to trust anyone. Just aim and shoot whatever moves and whatever you think might move; bloodlines or no bloodlines. Even the white guys have become suspicious of their own Jew and white race. Well, whites never trusted Jews but I think they trusted Jews slightly more than they trusted Negropeans.
What is this world coming to?

What an Elder Law Lawyer Can Do for You
An elder law lawyer specializes in legal issues that affect older adults, their families, and caregivers. These lawyers handle a broad range of topics, including estate planning, Medicaid and Medicare, long-term care planning, guardianship, elder abuse, and retirement planning.
