highly recommended. I have been included in a number of class action lawsuits with Leeds. First thing- they have an lovely secretary who picks up the phone right away. In an age of tapping on numbers to get to different deptartments, this just makes life easier. I have been in touch with Dave Mayo a number of times who answered all my questions thoroughly as if he had all the time in the world. If you want boutique service, I highly recimmend Leeds!!!

RYCB were highly recommended to me by one of their former clients and this law firm has exceeded my expectations. Brandon Fleischhacker is the best! He is professional, understanding, and listened to my concerns. From the very beginning he was upfront and explained everything to me in detail. Every two weeks Brandon would call me and check in on how I was feeling. He also responded to my messages promptly and advocated for me. He was very caring and showed great concern for my well being during this very stressful experience. Everyone in the RYCB firm are professionals and they work great as a team. Whenever I had any concerns or questions I was pointed in the right direction and followed up with to make sure I was satisfied. They did a great job advocating for me. I had recently recommended a friend to them and was confident that she was in good hands.
I’m very happy with how my case turned out and highly recommend them.

My companies have relied on the dedicated guidance and expertise of Richard Page as lead attorney on all international tax and legal matters. He is sharp, responsive, and he is diligent. Most importantly, he is someone who really cares and goes out of his way to look out for our best interests. Our success today would not have been possible to achieve at this point without Richard's guidance. Both myself, my family, and my companies are indebted to him.

After I was told by other lawyers that I did not have a case, Kevin Habberfield from Black, Lyle and Habberfield believed that I did have a case. He told me that I had a difficult case, but he believed that I had a winnable case. Kevin was upfront and honest with me right from the beginning. He always kept me notified throughout my entire case and he promptly returned my phone calls and emails whenever I had questions. He even came to my home to meet with me on a few occasions to accommodate my schedule. Kevin also has a great staff working alongside of him. I have spoke to several of them on the phone and they were all very knowledgeable and professional. Kevin has proved that he is a great lawyer by taking on my difficult case and obtaining a settlement in my favor. I would highly recommend Kevin Habberfield from Black, Lyle and Habberfield to anyone who is in need of a great lawyer.

Kevin was invaluable in helping me finally obtain a settlement, where my previous attorney completely failed through inaction. Kevin possesses all of the assets necessary for success; knowledge and skill, but also honor, dignity, sincerity and a dedication to the client's case. What I appreciate most was that Kevin always contacted me until the case was settled, even after the settlement, and always returned my calls. I cannot believe my good fortune in finding the him to represent my claim. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who is looking for an attorney a cut above the rest.

Paul Kampfer from Hiller, PC represents me in connection with my long term disability claim. Paul was a beacon of hope when all seemed hopeless. He sets the bar for what an attorney should be. His calm approach and empathetic demeanor gave me a sense of serenity that I haven't felt in a long time. Paul handled my Long Term Disability claim through all levels of unscrupulous behavior by the insurer, including an administrative appeal. At every interval, Paul succeeded in protecting me and my family. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Paul Kampfer and Hiller, PC.

I was referred to Scott Riemer by a friend of mine who is an attorney. She was also using this firm for her ERISA disability claim. I had no legal background and I did not know anything about the disability process. I have an unfortunate medical issue which has cut short my career. Mr. Riemer and his legal team (Paul Kampfer and Kasandra Raux) were very professional and helpful. They described the application process and timeline and answered my many questions. When my disability application was denied, they assisted with the appeal process, which was quite cumbersome and stressful. Ultimately, my appeal was approved, thanks to their expertise in this area. I would strongly recommend Riemer & Associates for anyone filing an ERISA disability claim.

Anthony Capasso represented the firm I work for in a construction related incident. there were a few parties that were named in the case as defendants. Mr. Capasso kept his focus on seperating the parties and clearing my company. He actively sought documents from all parties that he knew would be benifiecial to my case. It was handled so well that I never had to enter a court.
Mr. Capasso has continued to help with other legal issues we have had to face. he is always willing to help or recommand another lawyer more familiar with the issue.

My story is a long one but ill try to keep it as short as possible. I was involved in a motorcycle accident. Basically a lady pretty much hit me at a perpendicular angle, or to better put it she "t-boned" me. I flew off the bike and my right side hit a tree. The impact was severe and left me with literally around 3 pages worth of injuries. The most severe of my injuries is that I have no use of my tight hand any more and i am in constant physical pain. Not the kind of pain you can just think of something else and it would go away.. It's the kind of pain that will cripple you. I've had about 4 spinal surgery and nothing worked.
Words cannot describe what David has been to me. Nevertheless, i will try. First he's been a loyal, trustworthy and honorable friend. Second he's been a great lawyer from the start of my case to the end. He's kept every single promise made to me, kept me updated as things went by, made me feel confident enough to talk to him about anything regarding the case, he even answered phone calls at all kinds of ridiculous hours just to make me feel comfortable.
I couldn't think of a better man, or lawyer for me.
In conclusion, i am more than satisfied with everything he's done for me. He went above and beyond the call of duty with me, for that i must say he's more than a lawyer to me, he's a trusted friend i've gained for life.

.While working for the NYPD as a school crossing guard,I was involed in a serious accident, the accident was life altering. While in the Hospital my Family and I realizied how serious my injuries were. My son Chris had experience working with Mr. Brand through his employment. My son and others from his work convinced me Mr. Brand was the best attorney to have. While building my case Mr. Brand called me every week ,often more than once. My confidence in him doing his job never wavered. He informed me of all his activities concerning my case, involved top notch academic experts for testimony. They created illustated boards and reports detailing how and why my life would be so changed. I knew I'd the right lawyer when, afterwards the opposing attorney's and Judge approached me to tell me I had a "wonderful attorney who really had my best intrest as his first priority". I told them "I know". I have recommended him to others since and I have to say, I consider him to be my friend. David is a good man with a good soul. From a terrible situation David has relieved my financial worries because I am now disabled, and secured my future medical need. I highly recommed this skilled attorney.

I was represented by Mr Caputo an attorney that was not only extremely caring and responsive to my concerns , but possessed a knowledge of the law that was nothing short of exceptional . Nick Caputo is a rare man that responds to and respects his clients while representing them in a most effective way. He handled and resolved my case quickly and achieved a settlement which far exceeded my hopes . He thinks outside the box. Analyzes every aspect of the situations and made sure I was aware of every aspect of the case from beginning to the end . Nick responds immediately to his clients concerns and has the ability to make you feel that you are important to him because you really are.
I recommend Nick Caputo without hesitation as not only an exceptional attorney but a caring man that is a rare find in these times. He is honest, principled and everything one could ask for in an attorney .

I retained Mr. Caputo to help me with one of my clients receivables. I was deeply financialy distressed when I saw Mr. Caputo since the receivables were substancial and could have potentially put me out of business. With his aggresive stance and expeditious manner not only did he make the client agree to the settlement, but also got me paid in full without any adjustments.

I had a small claims matter that most attorneys would not bother with, but Joe was most empathetic and helpful. On calling, Joe gave me expert advice, spending time to walk me through the paths that my case could take. He then edited my offer letter to give it the professional polish it needed. The cost was reasonable. It was such a relief to get expert help when i needed it and when most others wouldn't bother with it. Thank you Joe!

My wife and I put off doing a will and estate planning for years. We never felt comfortable to discuss those difficult questions and disclose that much personal information to someone. From the second we spoke with Joe we both felt extremely comfortable. His friendly demeanor and knowledge about what we needed now and what we could put off was exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Joe and his firm.

I would definitely recommend Marc as representation. He was always upfront and clear and I always knew what to expect from any situation. I appreciated that he understood my injury and treatment while still looking at the case objectively. I trusted his judgement and direction and I think, bottom-line, when in a situation like this, you need trust above everything else. He was very knowledgable of all facets and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to others. Especially someone like me who suffered a back injury from a car accident and wanted to just get well and let him worry about the legal side of things.

More than I ever dreamed of...and better than my worst nightmare! I never dreamed of needing a lawyer and in a matter of months I was involved in two career changing car accidents! I always was told lawsuits were nightmares and truth be told they are not for the faint of heart! If it were not for Marc and his diligence I would not have been able to work through the red tape of being involved a suite involving a county government. He was willing to go to any length on my behalf, even to jail...to get a deposition that is! Exemplary confidence and meritorious use support outstanding staff to make communication effective!

Christopher should expect me to hire him in the future when a case arises in his practice area.
Thanks Christopher

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

Daylyn was also extremely mindful of the retainer and did not put up with any of the ridiculousness of an extremely unprofessional opposing counsel. She helped make a very difficult time in my life bearable and I would highly recommend contacting her if you are in need of an extremely capable divorce lawyer.

What an Insurance Lawyer Can Do for You
An insurance lawyer specializes in legal issues related to insurance policies and claims. These lawyers help individuals, businesses, and insurance companies navigate disputes involving insurance coverage, claim denials, bad faith claims, and policy interpretation. Insurance lawyers can represent policyholders who feel they've been unfairly denied coverage, or they can work on behalf of insurance companies to defend against fraudulent or inflated claims.
Whether you're filing a claim, disputing a denial, or dealing with complex coverage issues, an insurance lawyer can provide critical guidance and legal representation to protect your rights and ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to under your policy.
When Should I Hire an Insurance Lawyer?
Hiring an insurance lawyer is advisable in several situations, particularly when disputes arise over insurance coverage, claim denials, or bad faith actions. Common reasons to hire an insurance lawyer include:

How Are Insurance Lawyers Paid?
Insurance lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the nature of the case and the type of insurance issue involved. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: For many policyholders disputing claim denials or underpayments, lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means the lawyer only gets paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (usually between 25% and 40%) of the recovered amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing legal issues, such as bad faith lawsuits or business insurance disputes, insurance lawyers may charge an hourly rate. This rate varies depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler matters, such as reviewing an insurance policy or helping file a claim, some lawyers charge a flat fee for their services.
- Retainer: For businesses or clients with ongoing legal needs, an insurance lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment for future services.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does an Insurance Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an insurance lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the payment structure. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, you won’t pay any fees upfront, but the lawyer will take a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or judgment awarded.
- Hourly rates: Hourly rates for insurance lawyers generally range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Complex cases involving bad faith or high-value business claims may require significant hours, leading to higher legal costs.

- Retainers: Businesses or individuals seeking ongoing insurance legal services may pay a retainer, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the lawyer and scope of work.
Make sure to discuss costs and payment structures with your lawyer before proceeding to understand how much the services will cost.
