Mr Singer exceeded all of my expectations as a client. I was particularly impressed with his response time to questions and thoroughness in following through with necessary steps and procedures. He proved to be knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected within the legal circles of WNY. I give myunqualified endorsement for Mr Singer serving myself or any other clients in the future. Contacting Mr Singer with my legal needs was the best decision I could’ve made; it led to a positive and ideal outcome for my situation. Thank you, Mr Singer.

This lawyer works hard for his /her clients in the goal of winning the case. He doesn't put money first like other lawyers I met before .His cost is negotiable and affordable. Helped to win my CPS case and early Probation release. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with some cases to reachout to him before contacting with others .

I highly recommend Tim Sardone for your real estate transactions! We were warned that the schedule to complete our home purchase was very optimistic and that it would be difficult for the title work to be finished in this time frame. Tim not only made sure it was on time…it was early. He kept us informed throughout the process and quickly answered all of our questions. And when we sold our old house, he again kept us informed and made sure the sale closed on time. And we were never searching for answers because he anticipated our questions. You can’t go wrong with Tim!

Tim Sardone did a great job representing us for the purchase of our new home as well as the selling of our home of 33 years. He ensured that all the title work was done well before scheduled closing dates. He fully explained the process and we had no surprises. We are happy to recommend Tim as an attorney for any real estate transactions.

I am giving Mr. Willman a five star rating if I could give more I would. My self personally has not had Mr. Willman but I know someone who has! And this certainly individual gave Mr. Willman a run for his money. If you know you know. I have always learned it's never a good idea to work against your attorney... But more less let them guide you through your case. And not call the shots that will not work out in your favor.. My hat comes off to Mr. Willman he stood his ground and no matter what maintained perfessional through it all. He worked so hard for this individual and did everything he could possibly could do. But people know sometimes life doesn't go as planned.. Job well done if I ever need Mr. Willman I will for sure reach out to him no questions being asked he is a beast in the court room...

Mina is a fantastic real estate lawyer that I highly recommend to anyone even thinking of buying a condo in NYC. She was very thorough, quick, and walked me through every step of the way. Buying a condo in NYC is pretty complicated compared to other places so having her guide me through was phenomenal. She dug into records and documents that helped us get all the key details and information on the building and property that made me feel confident on the purchase.

I was recommended by a friend who was represented by Sharmine Persaud in regards to his SSD case. My wife and I met with Sharmine and right away I knew she was the right lawyer for me due to her experience, knowledge and compassion. Needless to say she won my SSD case using her vast knowledge of the SSD laws and regulations. Sharmine was always a pleasure to work with as well as her very professional staff (Omaira was always a great help in all regards). I will recommend Sharmine Persaud Law to anyone I know.

I was involved as a witness for a complicated case that Tom Kennif was representing the defendant on. From his initial contact with me through the process of testifying, his communication of what was expected and what the law meant in layman's terms that I could understand, was excellent. And he won the case for his client!! Excellent lawyer and his staff were great.

When I called, Alex immediately responded to my vehicle inquiry and sorrows surrounding the repairs. After providing him with all the purchase documents and repair documents he was able to tell me that I definitely had a breach of warranty case against the manufacturer.
It took some time (dealing with a large motor company) but they eventually paid for my lack of use of the car (always in the shop) and also paid for the lawyer fees.
Alex was able to help me win my settlement. I would have had no idea where to start. If this happens to anyone around me I'd tell them to call Alex. Very helpful and professional!

My company has been seeking the counsel of Felix Shipkevich for years now. Felix has always provided excellent, quality service. He has specialized experience in the derivatives field and always seems to know the answer to any regulatory question we may have. Furthermore, Felix goes above and beyond simply reciting the regulations or offering options. He carefully considers the options and weighs in on what he believes is truly in the best interests of our company. Because we have come to trust his dependable advise, the company will consult with him frequently even if only to verify via a conversation. We trust his work and his advice completely. It is always a pleasure to deal with him. He is reasonable, approachable, and often comes up with intelligent and creative solutions. I would highly recommend his services to any company or any individual.

We have been working with Felix Shipkevich for a number of years.
Since we began working work with his law firm, they have become more a part of our team rather than an outsourced firm.
Felix Shipkevich made himself available at any time, understanding completely our needs.
His advice was always straightforward and accurate with detailed implementation processes that made all the work so much easier.
I would recommend this firm to anyone who is seeking corporate legal advice, regulatory advice or guidance because they will guide you every step of the way making sure that the client always gets the outcome they desire.

I cannot recommend Saeed highly enough as a lawyer. He was incredibly prompt and provided outstanding support for my case, even on extremely short notice—less than 24 hours. Saeed’s dedication was evident in the way he completely backed my case and promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had. His responsiveness and expertise made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I would absolutely trust him again and recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation.

Steven Raiser’s law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30 % penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.

I have a Tenant who went from ok to really bad, stopped paying rent when asked to vacate property in October 2021. So had no choice else than evicting them.
Mr. Naveed is a great help. He advised me not to get into nitty gritty, he simply asked me do i need to get the money or get the house . I wanted house so he recommended and moved with holdover case. We got judgement our favor in November and we already have warrants of eviction which can be executed, in case they don't move out by given date. So probably sheriff will have to evict them. Thanks Mr. Naveed.

I am very thankful for Naveed. I had a commercial eviction case that started before covid. The tenant refused to pay and dragged the case on for almost four years. After 2 unsuccessful lawyers, I found Naveed. He was incredibly knowledgeful about the process as well as how to handle the tenant lawyer and judge in a manner that allowed us to be successful. He knew the fastest and the most efficient way to end the case and that was all I was looking for.

I called to ask about my case for a defamatory review that we received on our business page. I can't be more happy that Deborah was the one that picked up my phone call, since the very beginning I could tell that she loves what she does cause in her tone of voice you can tell that she's willing to help everyone from the heart. After a conversation of 40 minutes I dont gonna keep looking for more Law Firms instead of doing that. I'll call back to Deborah and that's why I've saved the phone number that I used to call. Thank you very much again for your help Deborah.

As a residential renter, I was befuddled and nervous about a complex new lease my landlord presented me with. Teddy charged a reasonable flat rate to look at my old and my new lease, defined key terms, and let me know if I had anything to be concerned about. I didn’t. He’s warm, smart, and loves his work. Can you ask for anything more?

After researching several different attorneys to seek out legal advice in regard to my landlords failure to make repairs, I took notice to Teddy's great reviews, and called his office. He was so patient, informative, and gave my wife and I much needed legal advice to best handle our situation. Not only did he hear me out, but I could tell that he was passionate and caring in regard to our frustrating situation.
My wife and I feel like we have someone in our corner now. That is enormous for us as we have had our backs against a wall for 19 months. After speaking with Teddy I feel empowered now knowing our rights as NYC tenants. I highly recommend his services to anyone with landlord/tenant issues!

I want to thank you for helping me to obtain my green card through VAWA. It was an arduous and difficult process for me, since I had not been able to go see my family for years. You have been an angel that God put in my path. I went through very difficult and desperate moments. I wanted to leave the USA and put everything aside, but you always gave me encouragement that we had a good case and we would achieve it. And so it was, with God's help and with your commitment and dedication we did it!! ! Your degree of professionalism surprised me to see how hard you worked on my case. Today I thank you because with your help we were able to achieve it. I am so happy that I do not know how to express my gratitude, I can only express my infinite thanks and may God continue to bless you greatly.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
- Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
- Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
- Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
- Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.

How Are Government Lawyers Paid?
Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.

- Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
- Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
- Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.
Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
