Queenie is a formidable counselor who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Her no-nonsense approach and dedication to her clients made her the ultimate ally, particularly in the challenging situation I was in. I wholeheartedly recommend Queenie for any legal matters; her professionalism, reliability, track record of delivering results, and history of success are unparalleled!

As a small business owner, I hired Queenie and her team to help us review, write, and negotiate several contracts. They were responsive, professional, and did excellent work. Through their diligent review and careful attention to detail, they found mistakes that other lawyers missed, helped me negotiate better terms, and saved my business thousands of dollars. I will definitely work with her team again.

I don't really want to go into specifics of my case (tl;dr it was sticky, delicate, and messy), and instead would like to focus my review on my experience with Queenie, who I hired to represent me. I'll start with results. Queenie was able to advocate for me, and I ended up with an agreement that provided me better protections. She was able to secure more for me than what I thought was possible. This is significant, especially because in these scenarios we don't always know what we can ask for. It's great to have someone in your corner who does, and will do the work to secure that for you.
The second thing I want to emphasize is how Queenie did this. She is experienced and knowledgeable, there is no doubt about that. But she also sought an environment that would give me the most leverage, using a wide range of tools and tactics. Queenie threw herself into this and was an aggressive advocate when she needed to be, and a measured advocate when it would be most beneficial to me. That was my experience with her. She also affirmed my role as the client and in the end gave me room to advocate for myself in a manner I could not before. I hope to not be in this situation again, but if I do, and for the many of us who end up here, you want someone like Queenie in your corner.

Eleonora was exceptional and highly effective counsel throughout a complex legal dispute with my former business partner. Her legal strategy and actions resulted in a sizeable win after 18 months of legal proceedings, including mediation and AAA arbitration. Eleonora also protected my financial entitlements and benefits, having won injunctive relief, several court judgments and counter appeals.
Furthermore, Eleonora was reassuring and supportive throughout my case and made a terrible situation manageable and less stressful.
I am eternally grateful to Eleonora and her firm and I effusively recommend their counsel and services

Dave has represented my development and construction firm for over 10 years. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. He is highly diverse in his knowledge of various legal matters. Dave possesses a wealth of construction industry knowledge which has been of enormous benefit to my firm. He is responsive to his clients' needs and is innovative in his approach to all the matters he has handled for us. While Dave is a zealous advocate on behalf of his clients he does so in a very respectful manner with those on the other side of the table which I have always admired. Dave also has done a wonderful job of putting together a very strong, knowledgeable, professional team at Canfield Ruggiero LLP. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Brandon McKenzie more than lives up to his reputation as the “Airbnb lawyer.” He and his firm have helped me navigate complex real estate matters and Airbnb regulations and legislation. Our association hired Brandon as a lobbyist, and he was successful in lobbying for the defeat of an ill-conceived bill that would have outlawed or unreasonably restricted short-term rentals. Legislators have since adopted a considerable amount of the language he drafted in a competing bill, so we are now much closer to a common sense piece of legislation that will serve the interest of all stakeholders involved.

Esquire Mckenzie was recommended to me and I hired him to represent me before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) and yet he delivered fantastic results (all dismissed) and spared me from financial ruin.
I will be forever grateful to him.
As an attorney, he was courteous, compassionate, knowledgeable, well prepared, and detail oriented.
Brandon, thank you so much! I had an inner feeling that I had to hire you and I am glad I listened to it.
Look forward to working with you in the future...

Donald Kravet and his staff have been handling all of my legal affairs for years. I can truly attest that he is extremely competent, reputable and always responsive to my needs. On top of that add in his intellect, sharp wit and trustworthiness and you've got one hell of a lawyer. He's a straight shooter and always did right by me. He's handled a range of cases for me. From working out contracts for business purchase and closure, along with the real estate lease, to suing for monies owed to me by others, consulting on various legal issues, and even did my last will and testament (as a favor). He's the first guy I turn to when I need legal help.

Donald Kravet represented our family for over two decades when we owned and operated the number one ranked resort property in the Caribbean. Donald's expertise helped us navigate through complex legal issues between different countries which involved an ownership dispute. His sound advice extended well beyond mere legal issues due to his remarkable ability to strategize, reason and negotiate. Hands down, Donald is the best attorney I have worked with since immigrating to the United States and I would highly recommend him.

I Saira Mohammed was referred to Frank Trief September 2010. I was driving going home from the movies with my two sons Aidan (5yrs) & Adam (3yrs) in my 2009 Honda Odyssey. I was driving 20mph to 25mph between 12:30 to 1am that Saturday night into Sunday morning when i was t -bone at a right away green light intersection, which i had the green lights. The other vehicle which was an Audi was going 70mph t-bone me on to the traffic lights completely removing it and into the front of a residents house. my sons was dramatized, thank god they were seat belted properly. I was the only one sustained most of the injuries, i suffered a slip disc to my spine, torn ligaments to my left knee, pinch nerve to my upper neck and my left elbow. my sons was checked out at the emergency in good health, thank God. I made an appointment to go for consultation at Frank Trief and without any hesitation he was hired before the meeting was over.
Frank Trief discussed every single little detail about what was going to be done and what were the steps to move forward with my case. All i submitted to him was photos, details of the accident how it happened and my insurance company which was Geico and still is. He referred me to highly recognized doctors and medical facilities that was trained to handle my situation and claims. He was very on point, professional and informative in every aspect of my case. He advised me to make sure and go to my therapy appointments, get all my X-rays and if needed surgery be sure to get it done. He told me that all my results will be forward to him and that will make our case stronger and will lead in the right direction. I never one day went to court when i was served documents from the other party, I emailed or faxed everyone as I received it to Frank and he told me not to worry everything is going accordingly. I placed my trust, confidence without any sort of hesitation. He made that part of my life stress free and with confidence I was able to continue my life with my sons and Frank dealt with all my legal problems without any complains and hassle to worry about.
We won the case and i was very much satisfied and was compensated for my injuries. I will highly recommend Frank Trief because of his expertise, professionalism, and direct approach to every needed situation. God forbid a situation to happen to me in the future Frank Trief is just a phone call away, email or text message. My best regards to him on coming back to do what he's an excellent attorney.
Best regards
Saira

I was struck down by a car ~ 5 yrs. ago. As you can imagine that is a very difficult time in all respects. The doctor takes care of the medical, but Frank took care of the legal issues!
He also helped calm my nerves which were so frayed. I did not know what to expect: a deposition? legal documents? He helped me through it all in a clear and calming manner. That's what you need in a lawyer. That's what he did.

Dear Mr. Kogan
I would like to thank you for your efforts in having DTCC remove the deposit Chill off the Companies stock.
This Chill had a very negative effect on the investors, depositing shares and the shares tradability due to the DTCC Chill.
I have been told by others in the business that the removal of the Chill by DTCC is a very long and time consuming process, but thru your efforts, you accomplished it less than five months.
I thank you for your accomplishment and will highly recommend you to potential clients.
Sincerely
Bo [removed by Avvo staff]

In addition to the general excellence of Mr. Reif he is one of the very rare lawyers to be found in anglosaxon jurisdictions, who has a deep understanding to the basic differences in German and US Law. He can therefore much better consult German Clients than other American lawyers can (in spite of their general undisputable quality). Moreover Mr. Reif even speaks very Good German.

Joe represented me and my company in a multi-year litigation and numerous opposing law firms our opponent went through. He fully grasped a rather bizarre situation, responded to me and my colleagues at all times, and gave me advice that ultimately concluded a miserable situation. The situation required extreme patience and creativity and perseverance. Joe Heppt is a very, very smart lawyer.

I was recommended to Mr. Heppt by a lawyer I had retained at a large law firm because I was looking for more reasonable fees and didn't need 10 people billing on my single medium sized matter. Mr. Heppt has a beautiful office with impressive conference room, he shared several options in strategies and went on to represent me and win my case. His fees were a fraction of what a large firm would charge.

I highly recommend using Eugene Kublanovsky. My wife and I found Mr. Kublanovsky to be congenial yet business-minded and 100% professional, making it very easy to engage him. Mr. Kublanovsky was easily reachable and responsive on our matter and he took it upon himself to perform extras duties while keeping everyone else on task. Working with Eugene Kublanovsky was an excellent experience.

I have worked with many lawyers over the past decade and Eugene provided me with service and commitment that went leaps and bounds beyond what was required. Eugene was excellent in his communications with me and opposing counsel as well as a great wealth of knowledge for me to rely on as I went through the process.
I have not worked with another attorney that went so far out of his way to make sure that I was represented properly and received what I was due.
Thanks Eugene, I recommend you to anyone who needs counsel.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Shi for our estate planning, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She provided us with a free consultation, during which she took the time to thoroughly understand our family’s needs and offered thoughtful, tailored suggestions. Throughout the entire process, she was patient, incredibly thorough, and consistently responsive. Her professionalism truly stood out, making what could have been a daunting process much easier to navigate. It was a pleasure working with her and her team, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for estate planning assistance.

Jim was my fourth matrimonial attorney and after firing my first three, I was just fed up with the "system" and mediocrity. I felt that I would never find someone to care about my situation as much as I cared. Jim proved me wrong. Jim Caruso is a sincere, caring legal professional that vests himself in his clients situation. He is pragmatic in his approach and offers realistic goals and outcomes. What Jim provides his clients is not only exceptional service, but he is thorough, creative and passionate about his clients success.

For those of you who are looking for an attorney to provide you with top notch, unwavering representation, I would highly recommend James Caruso. Jim served as my matrimonial attorney for the past year through multiple supreme court appearances. He was 100% prepared with the facts on my case through every appearance in great detail which gave me the confidence that I needed to get through my difficult divorce which involved the custody of my children.
Jim spent the time to dive deep into the facts of my case, leaving no stones unturned in order to give me the best representation possible. Jim was also very honest and factual with the hours my case would require. He prepared me to go into my case with realistic expectations and encouraged me to work through the small things with my spouse on my own, which enabled me to save the billable attorney hours for what mattered most to me in my case. He always kept me focused on what truly mattered.
His personal coaching on how to get through the tough part of divorce was acceptional. He considered every possible scenario in order to give me the best representation and outcome possible. I thank Jim for the outcome of my divorce. He was a true partner in my case.

As a rule I’ve always tried to avoid lawyers. I’ve always tried to make sure the deal is very clear so I don’t have to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer but sometimes there is no choice. I had to break up a business partnership and although I tried to make it amicable it was clear that I had to bring in Council. Chris was recommended to me by a colleague and I couldn’t have been happier. He was always supportive, always listened and gave me fantastic advice. My calls were always returned immediately. The communication was fantastic. And as for the settlement, I got everything I wanted and more. And that’s all thanks to Chris. I hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do need a lawyer with his expertise, he will be an immediate hire. Recommended highly

Our company was involved in a lengthy litigation, which covered the whole spectrum of temporary injunction, depositions, mediation, and closing of the settlement, almost through enforcement. Karen Asner is an excellent, very committed attorney who is always on top of matters. She is aggressive when she has to be, has a vast knowledge of the law and business matters, and an impressive network of other attorneys (which comes in very handy when you need local counsel in other states). Karen has a very analytical mind and plans her steps strategically, with great anticipation of the other side’s next moves. Thanks to her, we got the result we wanted and could go back to work. She is a true asset to have on your legal team, and a very pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend Karen and her work.

Lawrence Gelber is an excellent attorney. He is committed to representing his clients to the highest standards. His knowledge in the securities area is incredible. He will not allow his clients to be harrassed or improperly pursued by other attorneys or industry regulators. He is a realist with a sense of fairness. He can be ruthless towards adversaries. He fights to the end and will get positive results when other attorneys would give up. He is an attorney who loves what he does and the client benefits by that. Simply put he is an attorney that you want to represent you and not your opponent.He gets the job done.

What a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Can Do for You
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer, often referred to as a litigation lawyer, specializes in handling legal conflicts between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These lawyers represent clients in civil lawsuits, helping to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court. They can assist with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, property disputes, business conflicts, personal injury claims, and more.
If you are involved in a legal conflict and need representation, a dispute lawyer can guide you through the litigation process - from filing or defending against a lawsuit to negotiating settlements or representing you at trial.
When Should I Hire a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer when you're involved in a legal disagreement that cannot be resolved informally and may require legal action. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Breach of contract: If someone has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Whether it's a partnership disagreement, shareholder conflict, or a dispute with a supplier or customer, a lawyer can help resolve business-related issues.
- Property disputes: If you're involved in a dispute over property ownership, boundary issues, or landlord-tenant conflicts, a lawyer can assist in resolving the matter.
- Personal injury claims: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a lawyer can represent you in a personal injury lawsuit.
- Debt collection or defense: If you're being sued for unpaid debts or need to collect a debt owed to you, a lawyer can represent you in court or negotiate settlements.
- Employment disputes: If you're involved in an employment-related dispute, such as wrongful termination or discrimination, a lawyer can help you file a claim and represent you in court.
- Defending against a lawsuit: If you've been sued, a lawyer can defend you against the claims, challenge the evidence, and negotiate a settlement or represent you at trial.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your case is properly managed and that your rights are protected throughout the dispute resolution process.
What Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Do?
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients navigate legal conflicts and seek resolution. Their tasks typically include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing the facts and evidence to determine the strength of your case or defense and advising you on the best course of action.
- Filing lawsuits or responding to lawsuits: If you're the plaintiff, the lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you're the defendant, they will respond to the lawsuit and build a defense strategy.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting and reviewing evidence such as contracts, emails, financial records, and witness statements to support your case.
- Handling negotiations: Negotiating with the opposing party to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial, which can save time and money.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case in court if a settlement cannot be reached, including presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments on your behalf.
- Exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Suggesting mediation or arbitration as alternatives to a trial, which can be faster and less expensive.
- Drafting legal documents: Preparing and filing necessary legal documents such as complaints, motions, and responses, as well as drafting settlement agreements if a resolution is reached.
How Are Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyers Paid?
The fee structure for lawsuit or dispute lawyers varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of dispute, and the lawyer's experience. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Many lawsuit lawyers charge by the hour, especially for cases that require extensive preparation, research, and trial work. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fee: In certain cases, such as personal injury or breach of contract claims, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case, usually taking a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as filing a simple lawsuit or representing you in mediation, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: In complex cases or long-term litigation, a lawyer may ask for a retainer, which is an upfront payment to secure their services. The lawyer will then bill against the retainer as they work on the case.
Discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how fees will be handled throughout the case.
How Much Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee structure they use. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Lawyers may charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases requiring extensive trial preparation.
- Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency basis, expect them to take 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win $100,000 and the contingency fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000.
- Flat fees: For less complex disputes or tasks, such as drafting a settlement agreement or representing you in mediation, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Retainers: Some lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the case complexity and expected litigation length.
Make sure to ask for a detailed breakdown of fees during your consultation so you know what to expect.
