Michael A. DeVito is not only an amazing and well respected lawyer, he is an honorable and trustworthy man. As many of you may know, the process after an accident/injury can be tough mentally and physically, and the last thing you need is billing/medical/insurance to be a burden as well. From the beginning he made me feel as comfortable as I could be treating my case individually & not just as another number. He explained the process to me in its entirety giving me an honest timeframe; and always gave me the general understanding that he will take care of it, you just go to your doctors and focus on getting your body better! If you call he simply answers or always willingly returns the call, and if you’re still in need of something he is always willing to go the extra mile! I highly recommend having Michael A. DeVito represent you or anyone you may know!

Cindy helped us with our estate planning. She was recommended by a friend and we would recommend her to our friends as well. Explains things well and gets the work done. We’ve worked with other attorneys in the past that weren’t great and was pleasantly surprised at how down to earth and knowledgeable she is and didn’t feel like she tried to scam us.

This firm has defended me in a real estate litigation since June 2018 through 2024. So far, we have had 3 major victories against the plaintiff and in almost every court decision. I am so impressed with their competence, knowledge and results thus far. I highly recommend them in any civil litigation.

I came to this firm in November, 2023 to defend me in highly litigious case in NY federal Court. I saw first hand how Jeff Benjamin strenuously advocated for me throughout the process. Even to today, he has been very generous with his time, despite his busy caseload. This is a "Class A" firm with "Class A" lawyers. Thank you!

Robert is the best of the best in regards to criminal law. I’ve known him for many years but recently worked with him in a professional capacity when a close friend needed a criminal lawyer. Robert was a bulldog in court and made the entire case disappear with no criminal record. I didn’t even know that was possible! Worth every penny!

I was not expecting much from an initial consultation but Heather was more than exceptional. Her attentiveness and advice on my situation was greatly appreciated given it was the first time we spoke. It would be all to easy to sign me up as a client and take my money but she didn't. That speaks to her charecter greatly. Heather, if I need your help I will be back! Thank you.

My Aunt referred Heather to me as she was represented by her in the past and after talking to Heather I felt confident and comfortable in retaining her representation in my divorce. She and her staff answered all my questions, were available and were always professional.
Thank you to Heather and her team for providing me with great representation!

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my divorce lawyer, Adelola. If you are looking for a trusted, reliable, and confident attorney to guide you through one of the most challenging times of your life, she is the one you need.
Adelola not only provided me with expert legal advice, but she also helped me reclaim my dignity and joy for life. She was there for me when I needed her most, and I have no doubt she will be there for you too. With her by your side, your worries are over.
Kency,
A Grateful Client

I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Dow and her incredible team. From start to finish, they have been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. Their attention to detail, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome have been outstanding.
I’ve worked with top attorneys in the past for other legal matters, but I can confidently say that I wish I had Ms. Dow representing me from the very beginning. Had I know about Ms.Dow during my divorce, I am certain I wouldn’t have had to return to court. She and her team approach every aspect of the case with precision and care, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
If you’re looking for an attorney who truly fights for you, communicates effectively, and delivers results, look no further than Ms. Dow. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.
Thank you, Ms. Dow, for everything you and your team have done!.

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.

Mr. Dorian Glover is an exemplary attorney, who came highly recommended by a close friend. He is incredibly personable and a dedicated professional. He provided excellent guidance throughout every aspect of my family's case. Mr. Glover was responsive to all questions asked regarding my family member's case, and responded to all text messages. What stands out the most about Mr. Glover, is his understanding of Criminal Law, along with his dedication to ensuring the case progressed, as well as his thorough counseling skills to my family member. Most importantly, he is incredibly intuitive and cares deeply about the outcome of each client. He is passionate about pursuing the best possible positive outcome. I unequivocally recommend Mr. Dorian Glover for anyone needing legal assistance in Criminal Law.

The service I received was so terrible I have filed an official attorney grievance with the 7th Judicial District as well as a complaint to the New York Bar Association. My attorney Alex Serles was grossly unprepared for my hearing and utterly incompetent. Even the judge and District Attorney were angry with his lack of preparedness for my case that morning. The judge was going to cancel the hearing as a result. Which would have been another hardship for me having come a long distance travel out-of-state. So instead, my attorney just threw me under the bus to get the hearing done that morning; even after the judge said he had no other option but to “sentence me with all punishments having nothing to go on”, based upon my attorney’s lack of preparedness and gross incompetence. The District Attorney also expressed her anger that Alex Serles had not even updated her on my case in preparation for my hearing. The Senior Management Partner (attorney) as well, was not at all caring nor compassionate regarding the gross negligence I received from my attorney Alex Serles. I cannot warn future clients enough to not hire this firm to represent you. It was an over $5500 thousand dollar expensive lesson for me to learn. “Buyers Beware!”!

Words can't describe how happy I am that I used Mr. Perskin. I was in a pretty gnarly situation (to say the least) and from the moment we met, he showed immense confidence, listened to me, and fought super SUPER hard for me. It was a relief and gave me so much satisfaction to see how much he got my back (which i didn't have previously). His communication was A+ and in the end I was able to avoid a trial because of him. He kept me honest, managed my expectations, and also i really loved working with his son Jared, that dude is GOING PLACES! I will recommend Brian to everyone and also has an awesome book! thank you thank you!!

I first contacted Afia via her IG page, answered few questions about NIW then suggested a consultation call which I did. I booked a call and sent my CV, she said that my chances are strong and recommended going for NIW.
Now, it is worth noting that I consulted three lawyers before, all said they would not take my case since I do not have journal articles published. Regardless of that, I chose to take Afia's recommendation hire Yunus law. At the end of the day impression is perception and after the consultation call and watching her IG reels, the impression I had she is professional, knows what she does, and honest, so that is why I still took her recommendation although three others said no strong chances.
Afia and her team are committed, work professionally , and most importantly diligent in following up regarding the documents needed for the process. Also they generously premium processed my petition before my payment (I do not think that happens in other places :)
Finally I got my I-140 approved and I can't wait to apply for the green card.
I highly recommend working with Afia and her team, and if you are not sure, call them and prepare some good questions to help you make your final decision.

I had the privilege of working with Afia Yunus law for my immigration case and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From the very first consultation, Afia Yunus was thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in understanding my situation. They communicated with me every step of the way, making sure I felt informed and confident throughout the process.
What really stood out was their attention to detail and dedication. Afia Yunus went above and beyond to ensure that my interests were protected, and I always felt like a priority. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to achieve a positive outcome, and I truly believe their expertise made all the difference.
I highly recommend Afia Yunus to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are not only a skilled lawyer but also a compassionate professional who truly cares about their clients.

It was a great experience to work with Afia and her team. My Visa case was stalled for more than 5 years under 'Administrative Processing'.
When we consulted with Afia, she had given us hope and was enthusiastic to pursue the case, however she did set a reasonable expectation on risks and successes.
With her excellent work and immense experience, within two months of filing the WoM we got the positive results.
The team was always available whenever we needed consultation.
I highly recommend Yunus Law for any type of immigration cases.

Danielle is a very responsive, diligent and caring attorney. Her motions and filings are well thought out and highly professional. Danielle will work hard and she will put in the extra effort to help you. Some divorce attorneys do not perform well during a trial, however, that is not the case with Danielle. Before the trial even begins, Danielle will show up well prepared, well organized and she will be ready. Danielle is a highly confident trial attorney and she will demonstrate her years of relevant experience during the actual trial. It is important to have confidence that should your case go to trial that you have a competent trial attorney. Danielle is also very responsive to my phone calls and always provides sound legal advice.

Danielle is a compassionate, caring and present family law attorney. She is responsive, timely and actually cares about the best interest of your child. Before I started working with her I referred a few clients to her based on a recommendation, and I’m happy that I hired her as well once I had respond to litigation for the first time in four years. It’s important to have someone who cares because otherwise the attorney will get bored of your case, won’t respond and you’ll be put on the back burner. Danielle is unlike the others and I highly recommend her.

I came to know Ms. Charles through the recommendation of a very satisfied client that had custodial and support needs similar to mine. She was very professional and well versed in the relevant laws. Ms. Charles has tremendous negotiation skills. Her strategy sessions made me feel like my needs were in good hands and I can trust they would be met. I’ve never known another lawyer more prepared or focused. Nothing seems to rattle Ms. Charles or distract her from the goal on a case, which of course, makes her extremely tough to beat. I strongly recommend Ms. Charles for her highly strategic and professional representation.

This letter, testimonial, is to express my satisfaction with the Law office and personal work of attorney Vernita Charles.
My family and I met Ms. Charles at a time when we were in a very stressful situation, with our house being in foreclosure. We had consulted with brokers who weren't always informative or as professional as they should have been. We had already consulted with real estate attorneys who asked for lots money up front, without much of a commitment on their end. People who were very slow in returning emails and phone calls. We were just about at wits end.
Alas, we were referred to the law office of Attorney Vernita Charles. From the very first day we met her we knew we were in good hands. She took charge immediately, with professionalism, courtesy and respect. The confidence that she exhibited gave us a sense of confidence and well being that we had not felt in a long time.
Ms. Charles took us from not being able to afford the monthly mortgage, and being faced with eviction from our home, to a new mortgage that is very affordable for us.
We are now enjoying our house again, looking forward to facing every day with confidence and a sense of security.
Sincerely,
Amir

A few years back my five-year-old son was hit by a automobile the insurance company offered to pay out the max. It was recommended to us to have an attorney. So I contacted Levine , Gouldin and Thompson. They immediately accepted the case. They were unable to get my son any additional payout and what the insurance company had already offered with that said they still wanted a third of my son's award. They mailed me a letter wanting me to sign an agreement to pay them 1/3. This would equate to $33,000 to be paid to them, out of my son's $100,000 payout from the insurance company. What's the insurance company had already offered us. I ended up not having to fight State Farm but the very attorney I had hired to help my son. In the end the judge awarded them $25,000. So my son ended up with $75,000. We are just grateful to have our son after a severe broken femur. I would never hire or recommend this Law Firm! I fought and argued with them all the way and they cared nothing about me or my son!

Martin is unlike any lawyer that I have ever come into contact with. He worked hard on my case to get exactly what I wanted, and he succeeded. His knowledge of family law was impeccable.

I hired Martin as a divorce attorney and was beyond disappointed by his work. He repeatedly neglected to tell me appearance info when we were due in court and insisted a resolution could not be found without going to court. After he was fired, my new attorney settled everything within two weeks, so I suspect he kept drawing things out for his own financial gain. Hire this man at your own risk.

What a Foreclosure Lawyer Can Do for You
A foreclosure lawyer specializes in helping homeowners navigate the legal complexities of foreclosure, working to protect their rights and potentially save their homes. Foreclosure lawyers assist homeowners facing foreclosure by negotiating with lenders, filing legal defenses, and representing them in court. They also help with loan modifications, short sales, and other alternatives to foreclosure. Whether you’re behind on mortgage payments or already in foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you explore your legal options and work toward a solution.
If you’re at risk of losing your home, a foreclosure lawyer can provide guidance on how to stop or delay the foreclosure process and protect your financial future.
When Should I Hire a Foreclosure Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a foreclosure lawyer in several situations where you are facing financial difficulties with your mortgage. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Facing foreclosure proceedings: If your lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings, a lawyer can help you file a legal defense and explore options for stopping or delaying the process.
- Loan modification: If you want to modify the terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable, a lawyer can help you negotiate with your lender and ensure that the modification complies with legal standards.
- Challenging the foreclosure: If you believe your lender has violated foreclosure laws or the terms of your mortgage agreement, a lawyer can help you challenge the foreclosure in court.
- Stopping a foreclosure sale: If your home is about to be sold at a foreclosure auction, a lawyer may be able to file for a temporary restraining order or injunction to halt the sale.
- Short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure: If you cannot afford to keep your home but want to avoid foreclosure, a lawyer can assist with arranging a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, where you voluntarily transfer ownership of the home to the lender to avoid foreclosure.
- Filing for bankruptcy: If you’re unable to manage your mortgage debt and other financial obligations, a lawyer can advise whether filing for bankruptcy might stop foreclosure and help you restructure your debts.
Hiring a lawyer as soon as possible - especially when foreclosure is imminent - can provide you with more legal options to save your home or limit financial damages.
What Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Do?
A foreclosure lawyer provides a variety of legal services to homeowners facing foreclosure, working to protect their rights and help them avoid losing their homes. Their responsibilities often include:
- Negotiating with lenders: A lawyer can negotiate with your lender to modify your mortgage or create a repayment plan, helping you avoid foreclosure by securing more favorable terms.
- Filing a legal defense: If your lender is improperly foreclosing or has made errors in the foreclosure process, a lawyer can file a legal defense, challenging the foreclosure in court. Defenses may include violations of foreclosure laws, predatory lending practices, or failure to follow the terms of the mortgage.
- Representing you in court: A lawyer can represent you in foreclosure proceedings, whether you are defending against the foreclosure, seeking more time to negotiate with the lender, or filing for bankruptcy.
- Stopping or delaying foreclosure sales: If your home is scheduled for a foreclosure auction, a lawyer can help file a motion to stop or delay the sale, giving you time to explore other options.
- Advising on bankruptcy: A foreclosure lawyer can assess whether filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be beneficial, as bankruptcy can temporarily stop foreclosure and give you time to reorganize your finances.
- Arranging short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure: A lawyer can help facilitate a short sale (selling the property for less than the mortgage balance) or a deed in lieu of foreclosure (transferring the property to the lender), which may allow you to avoid the foreclosure process.
How Are Foreclosure Lawyers Paid?
Foreclosure lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many foreclosure lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific legal services, such as negotiating a loan modification or filing a bankruptcy petition, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees can range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the scope of the work.
- Retainer: In more complex foreclosure cases, especially those involving ongoing negotiations with lenders or court appearances, a lawyer may require a retainer. This is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case.
- Contingency fee (rare): In some rare cases, particularly when suing a lender for wrongful foreclosure, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case or settle on your behalf.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront, especially if you are facing financial difficulties.
How Much Does a Foreclosure Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a foreclosure lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of time required to resolve the issue. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Foreclosure lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour. For example, a simple case with 10 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $3,000.
- Flat fees: For straightforward services such as filing for bankruptcy or negotiating a loan modification, flat fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the work.
- Retainers: In more complex or ongoing foreclosure cases, a lawyer may require a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the length of the case and the lawyer’s experience.
In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs, such as court filing fees or expenses related to property appraisals.
Top Questions to Ask a Foreclosure Lawyer
Before hiring a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and approach to help you. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with foreclosure cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling foreclosure cases similar to yours and has successfully helped homeowners avoid foreclosure or negotiate better terms. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of their services. -
What are my options for stopping foreclosure?
Ask the lawyer to explain the different legal strategies available for stopping or delaying foreclosure, such as loan modifications, filing a legal defense, or bankruptcy. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the chances of successfully avoiding or delaying foreclosure. -
How long will the process take?
Foreclosure cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take and what factors might affect the timeline. -
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 steps can I take to protect my home?
Ask the lawyer for advice on steps you can take to protect your home, such as making partial payments, negotiating with your lender, or exploring foreclosure alternatives.
How to Check the Credibility of a Foreclosure Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable foreclosure lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for foreclosure experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in foreclosure law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for 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 foreclosure matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) or who have specialized certifications in real estate or foreclosure law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a foreclosure lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Mortgage documents: Bring a copy of your mortgage agreement, payment history, and any correspondence you’ve received from your lender, including foreclosure notices or demand letters.
- Financial information: Provide information about your income, expenses, and debts, as this will help the lawyer assess your financial situation and determine the best legal strategy for your case.
- Previous communications with your lender: If you’ve already tried to negotiate with your lender, bring any emails, letters, or records of phone calls that document these communications.
- Court documents (if applicable): If foreclosure proceedings have already begun, bring any court documents related to the case.
- Questions about your legal options: Prepare a list of questions about the foreclosure process, your options for avoiding foreclosure, and how the lawyer plans to help you.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for protecting your home from foreclosure.
