Joseph Balisok is an excellent resource for legal help. I hired him to deal with my tax issues with the IRS and NYS. In addition to his expertise as a lawyer find him to be a very supportive "people person". His staff is also friendly and proactive with their communications and following up any loose ends.

I have consulted with Richard Meirowitz on a number of issues and I must say I have been nothing but impressed. He is highly intelligent, patient and most importantly very kind. His knowledge of the law is second to none and I really appreciate all the guidance.

I am expressing my appreciation for the services provided by Richard Meirowitz . He is one of the best litigation lawyer in Suffolk county. Richard and his team is outstanding. He is a sharp strategist and takes full care of each of his client. Beat thing that i liked about Richard Meirowitz is that he handles each case himself. His responsiveness, knowledge and authenticity throughout the case kept me stable and successful. I am highly grateful to his services.

I had several fairly complicated questions regarding nutraceutical products that needed to be answered quickly and accurately. A member of the industry recommended Richard Meirowitz as the best, most qualified, most experienced person to answer my questions. Mr. Meirowitz immediately understood my problem and provided me with extremely helpful, balanced advice and solutions that saved me a great deal of time, effort, and money! I am very grateful and completely satisfied with my experience.

Referred by a friend for a divorce procedure, Brittany was the right decision. Her punctual response time, efficiency and knowledge of explaining the laws related to my case, especially having children and real estate involved, made me rest assured all would work out in my favor, which it did...I'd highly recommend Brittany Fiorenza!

I have nothing but the best to say about Brittany and her team (Lisa). I am very fortunate to have her as my lawyer. She is understanding, well spoken and very knowledgeable. I had some very unique challenges, but Brittany remained fully invested in the best possible outcome for me as her client. I would recommend Brittany and her staff without hesitation to anyone in need of legal services.

We worked with Zach on our wills and related documents. Throughout the process, he was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. When last-minute questions arose days before we planned to sign our documents, Zach responded patiently and thoroughly, consulted with colleagues as necessary, and made relevant changes immediately (even on the weekend). He has provided us with clear-headed and calm guidance every step of the way. We cannot recommend Zach's services enough. Thank you!

13 Mar, 2024 by Daniel

Zachary displays professionalism, knowledge, and dedication every step of the way. He patiently explained complex legal concepts in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that I fully understood the implications of each decision made. Having Zachary in my corner made the entire process stress free and I will not hesitate to use him again in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

15 Jan, 2024 by Anita

For the past year or more, Zach has been on top of my nightmare of being released from a timeshare. Because of his constant vigilance in my case, it has recently come to conclusion. Thank you ever so much for your assistance.

I could not have asked for a better real estate lawyer. He guided me through my condo sale with wisdom and patience. He created a sense of calm during the process despite intermittent real estate chaos. At every turn he was extremely responsive and informative.

12 Sep, 2017 by Ben

Chris was great at leading me through the contract review and closing process. He was very knowledgeable and prompt. Chris made the home buying process very easy and stress-free.

31 Aug, 2017 by Richard

Over a year ago, I was on a mission to find a reliable and responsive real estate attorney to assist me with the sale of my NYC condo. I did a comprehensive research (online) and must have contacted at least 5 different attorneys. I picked Chris for a variety of different reasons, but what resonated with me the most is his responsiveness and the clarity about his role when we first spoke on the phone. I felt very comfortable with him and this continued until my condo was sold. I was not able to be present at the closing so I gave Chris Power of Attorney to represent me at the closing. All went well and am now enjoying retirement life. I strongly recommend Chris, without any reservations.

Attorney Serge Petroff Law firm and staff is the very best in NY.

The attorneys at Petroff guaranteed us that they would do their very best to get us out of foreclosure AND THEY DID.Thanks very much.You did what other lawyers failed to do for us

19 Jul, 2017 by Maggie

Mr. Petroff and his firm saved our home from foreclosure. We were in a very bad place and they worked out an agreement with the bank to save us and got us a payment we could afford.

I must say that the staff at the Serge F Petroff law firm is the best in NY...... I was 7 years into foreclosure, I completely gave up hope and was embracing for the worst news possible, because of previous law firms that I tried to solve my foreclosure issues...... The lawyers at Petroff law firms guarantee that they would do there very best in getting me out my foreclosure and they sure kept that promise...... I'm now out of FORECLOSURE.... Best law firm ever.....

Mr. Rodriguez is the best of the best. He is very experienced with the SLA, very hands on with the application process, and very responsive after retainer. He was able to get our license approved under a 'pre-conditional' and avoiding an SLA full board hearing, even after the location was denied a license a year prior. I highly recommend him for all your SLA needs.

We have been working with Argilio for many years. With his expertise we were able to get our liquor license, which seemed an impossible task. We always recommend him to friends who seek an honest lawyer that gets the job done.

15 Feb, 2019 by Jesus anzures

I liked the attitude for one of the many cases I have been working with Mr. Rodriguez. The case looked hard to fight it, he took it and all 6 charges were dissmiss. Always optimistic and determinate to do what ever it takes to get a good resolution for the cases.

14 Nov, 2022 by Yunru

It is my pleasure to have Michael J Laucello as my personal injury attorney. He is empathetic, competent, professional and always ready to go the extra mile for his client. I was bitten by a dog several months ago. He did an outstanding job to make sure I was well taken care of. During the first time we met, he had spent a lot of time explaining every detail related to my case, had lots of patience with me and answered every question I had. At that time, he also came up with several specialists around the area near me out of his head, and wrote their name down on a piece of paper to make sure I can find the right doctor to get the right treatment. That was the moment I knew I had found the right person to handle my case. During these months, He fought hard on my behalf when I was overwhelmed, kept me totally informed of the case progress and also achieved a greater outcome than I could have ever imagined. I am grateful for his hard work. I would recommend Michael J Laucello and absolutely he is the best!

He handled a debt collection issue on my behalf in the North Tonawanda court system with a very successful outcome for me. The harassment is finally over. He got them to voluntarily discontinue their action against me with prejudice---which means it is gone forever. Thank you Mike for your prompt assistance in resolving this unfortunate matter.

17 Jan, 2019 by Apove

Michael McPartlan is a talented strategic lawyer in family court, and he is an attorney of high integrity and character. He was a saving grace in my brutally difficult situation in family court, and my terribly difficult case was not in good hands until it was in his. I wish I had found him sooner. His communication availability is excellent as well. Ive had experiences with other attorneys, prior to learning how to find a good attorney, where they have taken days to get back to you or give advice of little comfort , value , or use; or that other attorney communications have to go through chains of command first and bill for ANY menial communication , which makes one eventually question what the priority is - billing or the client’s case. McPartlan makes you and your case a priority. I once learned too late that some attorneys charge for meaningless work they do bc they have to bill in order to keep their jobs at a firm. What a difference it is to work with an attorney who is both excellent strategically , comes highly recommended, and charges with Integrity to the true needs of the client - as it should be. However- Most , most , most importantly , which is all I cared about - he is effective. Mcpartlan guides you through what needs to be done to achieve best results. I highly recommend him for your family law needs.

Mike took care of my divorce phenomenally. It was a mess, and she kept attacking, and Mike took care of everything. Start to finish, he covered my 6. He went from being my attorney to a best friend I would help out anytime.

25 Sep, 2015 by Peggy

When you are looking for help and need the assistance of an attorney, you always wonder if there is an attorney that will understand and that you can trust. We hired Sheldon Boyce and he is that kind of attorney. He was way ahead of the process. Sheldon was excellent at the legal end and became a friend. He is very personable and knowledgeable. Now we use him for all our legal needs!

I can’t state enough how amazing of an attorney Alexandra is . She took my child support modification case after I had to switch attorneys. She was caring and most of all listen and showed empathy . I felt I was fighting an uphill battle, in the end with Alexandra at the helm I ended up with a more than a fair judgement that I feel was in my favor and what was best for my family . I will never use another attorney !

12 May, 2023 by Dee g

I have had the pleasure of having Alexandra represent me since 2020. She has helped me in multiple legal areas, from divorce to real estate, and her representation has always led to success. I would highly recommend her for any legal matter, as she is knowledgeable, personable, and above all professional.

12 Aug, 2022 by James vasquez

Alexandra is a pleasure to work with and is an expert on any landlord/tenant issues. We had an unfortunate situation with our landlord who didn't comply with the NY State laws and was completely negligent. She fully explained our rights and what we should expect to happen if we were to go to court. However, she was able to get the landlord to return our deposit without having to go to court. I highly recommend Alexandra Georgetti for all of your legal needs. She is extremely knowledgeable and presents information in a factual manner that is easy to understand. Furthermore, she takes pride in helping people and she is excellent!

I've been a small business owner in New York City for around the past 5 years, and I've been working with Adam (and his associate, though I'll review him separately) since virtually the very beginning. Adam has seen my company grow from a tiny fledgling entity to where we are today, and has been an integral part of our surmounting the myriad challenging, unlucky, 'unfair', or otherwise demanding legal situations and circumstances that come with starting and running a business -- both par-for-the-course and very unexpected. It's tough to condense everything I could possibly highlight here, but to consolidate to concise summation, simply read the title of this review. One of the things I appreciate most about Adam is his comprehensive analysis and thorough explanations on any given set of circumstances, while at the same time remaining efficient and precise in all the right ways. His methods in outlining different legal approaches or strategies and potential ramifications of each is incredibly informative and helpful in deciding how best to tackle certain situations based on practicality. I also very much appreciate that while he is worth every dollar he invoices, he doesn't hesitate to express anytime there may be avenues to spend *less* on legal in a particular set of circumstances (and the various possibilities and outcomes). He's honest and is a person of integrity. All in all, I couldn't more heartily recommend Adam as a great attorney for anyone in need of highly effective counsel in any fashion.

23 Oct, 2013 by Marianne

Adam Russ was originally referred to me by a mutual friend and client. It was an excellent recommendation. Adam and his team have helped me navigate a ground-breaking case in the real estate industry. You will find Adam not just an expert in his field, but 100% dedicated and always available to talk about your case. He is personable and easy going, but don't be fooled...this is one sharp attorney!

23 Oct, 2013 by Dennis

I've known Adam for 6 years. He's always been amazingly responsive and his guidance and follow up has been priceless.

I had an issue with my employer, and reached out to Mr. Rich. He took the time to go over all the options with me, and gave me a summary of the law regarding my situation. I like that he spoke to me in layman's terms, but still displayed a sharp knowledge of the law and strategy. He guided me to the best possible outcome without empty promises or dancing around the issues. I wish every lawyer was like him (except for the ones representing my adversary ;-) ).

21 Feb, 2024 by Georgette

David S. Rich was a valuable resource to me in my role as an independent data sciences consultant. He is very savvy about business situations. At one point I had signed a contract and Statement of Work with a software company. The company asked me to perform tasks without compensation, despite the Statement of Work. David advised me to bill the company for hours worked and cancel the contract. It was a good move because others I know later had problems with that company. David is trustworthy and transparent about his scope of knowledge. Recently another attorney claimed that I had to redo a document, but I had my doubts. David did not know that answer. In less than a minute he looked up a journal article and explained a change in state standards. Whether you are an employee, employer, or business principal, he will guide you in the right direction.

Matt quickly and efficiently advised me in a time-sensitive manner on a non-compete and its interplay with a severance agreement as I was about to transition to a new company. He explained the different parts and how they affected my options going forward, and offered several paths that I could pursue. I was senior enough in the company to have restrictions on where I could go as there were questions about how the two companies competed in the same general segment. His letters were organized and easy to understand, handled the facts of the matter, advised on New York law, and most importantly were very practical in how to engage both employers. I was referred to Matt by a family member and would recommend anyone in the NY area needing advice on a non-compete or severance agreement to check with him.

This is the second time I used this law firm. They are fantastic! They represented me during the sale of my house. My attorney, Hiba Touma, and her team were very attentive, professional and answered all of questions immediately. Even when things got stressful for me (because I was selling and buying at the same time), they calmed me down and took care of everything. I can’t thank them enough for making this process effortless! I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for an attorney that is knowledgeable and will also treat you as a priority!

I used the services of Rozario & Associates for the purchase of an apartment. My attorney Rovin Rozario was extremely professional, informative, and an excellent negotiator to make my transaction the best experience ever. The staff was also very helpful and always willing to assist with my concerns. Special thanks to Maria & Hiba for their excellent service. I highly recommend this office for any real estate transaction representation.

It is with gratitude that I leave this review. As a client, I can attest that what Miedle & Mysliwiec LLP says they do is what they do. Mr. Mysliwiec spent time getting to know me and made sure he understood every aspect of my case. I've witnessed him and his assistant working tirelessly, crossing every T and dotting every I. I was not just a "case" or a "number". They put their heart into representing me, walking me through the process with respect, dedication, and integrity. It paid off. I was found not guilty on all counts. I believe that Mr. Mysliwiec was and is a Godsent. The work he does is not just legal; it is righteous. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I was referred to Aaron by a friend with whom he had worked at the Bronx Defenders office, and when I first met him, I was nervous, confused, and in need of answers. During our initial consultation, he did more than just answer my questions. He listened, he was attentive, and he cared. Equally important, he clearly knew the law, was resourceful, and was committed to helping me with my case, whatever it took. As others have noted, his communication was unparalleled, as he always made time to address any questions or concerns I had. When you're facing an uncertain future, I can't stress enough how crucial this is. During my ordeal, I discovered that law is rarely binary: right vs wrong, allowed vs prohibited. Aaron is that rare critical thinker who understands this. Yes, he has decades of experience, but perhaps more importantly, he is smart and intuitive. Ultimately, the charges against me were dropped. Yes, I saw them as meritless, but to make the point, Aaron was my voice. I can not recommend him highly enough.

I was in a panic when I was first brought on federal criminal charges. Ahead of my first court appearance, Aaron took time on a weekend to consult with me as I was selecting legal representation. He listened, offered insights, and made critical counterpoints to assumptions I had going in to defend against the charges. He was articulate and empathetic. Over the course of the next months, both Aaron and firm partner Florian Miedel made my choices clear and respected my commitment to the harm reduction ethics and values being challenged in the case. He was responsive to my many questions by text and email day or night. I am grateful for his knowledge of the legal system, his work with the well-respected Bronx Defenders, and his capability to hold strong with the prosecution to ensure that I was in the best position throughout the experience until my case was dismissed.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:

Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
