Real professional place. When you apply for your PR/ citizenship, besides a professional agency, you will need a lawyer who can respond to every single detail that matters to you and here’s the place. They provide me lots of help on even the smallest details that that’s what you need.

Attorney Peng is my second lawyer during my immigration application process. She's diligent and responsible. What I like most about her is her high efficiency, timely communication, smooth process, and her ability to provide the best solutions from a professional perspective and from the client's point of view. In the end, my application was successfully approved. I'm so grateful to her and her team. Highly recommend to anyone who needs professional immigration services.

I’ve worked with many attorneys about so many different stuff, this is definitely the most responsible, caring and affordable attorney I’ve ever worked with. They are professional, they know 100% what they’re doing, they actually cares about my case, they answers follow up question for me even after my case, they are patient, compassionate and definitely honest people. I appreciate them a lot truly, very hard working people.

My experience with Spencer Malone at McConville Considine Cooman & Morin has been nothing short of excellent thus far - he is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, down to earth and ready to help with any legal issues that arise. I would recommend Spencer and the firm to anyone I know seeking legal assistance!

Spencer Malone has helped me with providing consultation and sound advice through some very challenging situations. I very much appreciate his professionalism and legal expertise. You can certainly trust Spencer with your Trust, POA's, Estate and Legal matters.

I am lucky to have met Spencer Malone through my BNI group and he has been a wealth of knowledge around estate planning. Both my husband and I own businesses and I had know idea on what was entailed for estate planning with both our businesses and personal end. I would recommend seeking out Spencer for any future estate planning whether it be a POA or anything more in depth.

Initially, we sought the services of a law firm where George served as a contracted attorney as the co-leader of the team. Over time, our original attorneys became increasingly unresponsive. Recognizing the need for decisive action, George smoothly transitioned from his co-leader position to lead our case. His remarkable ability to manage this shift and the case itself was commendable. George’s deep commitment to understanding the intricacies of our situation enabled him to leverage his vast legal knowledge with precision. His foresight in anticipating and explaining potential outcomes, along with their broader implications, was crucial, ensuring we were always informed about every facet of our case. With George’s guidance, the legal process was demystified, communicated in a way that was both clear and accessible. His steadfast support and guidance were constant, providing us with the confidence and understanding we needed at every stage of the judicial process.

28 Mar, 2024 by Stephen

I was introduced to George a year ago through a mutual colleague. George has been quite helpful and instrumental in my launching a new LLC company. He has been knowledgeable, resourceful, and very communicative. He recommended a reliable source with whom to establish the LLC. Once it was set up, George helped me track down a logo I wanted for my company, assuring I had full, unencumbered legal rights to it. He went above and beyond by tracking the logo that was created in the Ukraine. This entailed numerous emails requiring translation and interpretation of nuances dealing with a foreigner. During this process communications proceeded seamlessly. George is a reliable, resourceful, ethical lawyer. I'd recommend him highly, without reservation.

19 Mar, 2024 by Anonymous

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by George. From the moment I reached out for help, he demonstrated unwavering support and dedication to my case. His expertise and guidance not only helped me avoid jail time, but also provided reassurance and comfort throughout the entire process. I highly recommend George Grasso to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate advocate.

Mr. Mevorach took the time to offer me advice on a stressful issue. His knowledge of the matter, calm demeanor, and attentive listening helped give me a clear understanding of my situation and ease my worries. I would recommend.

18 Aug, 2024 by Jessica

Mr. Mevorach was able to sit a talk with me about a personal legal situation that I was very unfamiliar with. Mr. Mevorach took the time to go over every detail so he could let me know what options I had. He was very informative, knowledgeable and most of all he listened. That isn’t something easy to come by. Someone willing to speak with you and analyze a situation and give you an informed opinion and several solutions regarding my specific situation.

I recently had the chance to get on the phone with Jack Mevorach in order to discuss some things, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From early on in our consultation, Jack's willingness to help and discuss the specifics of my case was evident. His approach was not only honest and caring, but it also reflected a depth of knowledge that only a veteran in legal practice could offer. Jack has a conversational style, that adds a unique nuance, making you feel immediately assured that you're in the right hands. His genuine concern for my needs were evident throughout our discussion, in which highlighted his commitment to not just legal excellence, but also to the well-being of his clients. For anyone in need of legal assistance, I recommend getting in touch with Jack Mevorach.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Sylvia P. Tsai on a landlord-tenant issue and a commercial eviction process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only an exceptional attorney but also a dedicated advocate for her clients. Throughout the entire process, Sylvia displayed an impressive depth of knowledge in landlord-tenant law and commercial eviction procedures. She navigated the complexities of my case with ease, ensuring that I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation made all the difference in achieving a favorable outcome. What truly sets Sylvia apart from others in her field is her commitment to her clients. Unlike many attorneys who can sometimes feel detached or overly focused on billing, she genuinely cares about the people she represents. Her fees are reasonable and transparent, and she never once made me feel like I was being taken advantage of financially. It’s refreshing to find an attorney who prioritizes her clients’ needs over profit. Additionally, I want to highlight the invaluable support provided by her paralegal, Jonathan Yu. Jonathan was always available to assist with questions and ensure that everything was in order. His dedication and professionalism complemented Sylvia's efforts beautifully, making the entire process even smoother. Together, Sylvia and Jonathan worked tirelessly on my case, demonstrating a work ethic that is hard to come by. They made me feel supported throughout the entire process, and their passion for their work is evident. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, hardworking, and reasonably priced, look no further than Sylvia P. Tsai. I am incredibly grateful for her assistance and will not hesitate to reach out to her for any future legal needs. Thank you, Sylvia and Jonathan, for your outstanding service!

蔡律师和她的团队很尽业，为我解答了所有难题并给出最保贵的建议，所有书面和口头的文件都处理的非常妥当，帮我解决问题的同时，也保存了当事人最大的利益，非常感谢这么用心有道德的专业人士！

Her profound understanding of commercial law made the entire transfer process smooth and efficient. She excelled in handling contracts, documents, and transaction details, instilling confidence in me and assuring that I could entrust this task to her. Furthermore, Ms. Tsai's communication skills are truly impressive. She can articulate complex legal concepts clearly, enabling me to fully comprehend each step of the process. Her prompt responses to my inquiries ensured that my understanding of the entire transfer remained at a highly transparent and lucid level. Ms. Tsai is not only an outstanding professional lawyer but also demonstrates excellent interpersonal skills. Her humility and effectiveness in communication with other stakeholders ensured seamless collaboration within the team, facilitating the successful completion of the transaction. Her collaborative spirit made the entire process more seamless, providing great convenience for me. In conclusion, Ms. Tsai is an immensely experienced and skilled lawyer. Her expertise, excellent communication skills, and genuine concern for clients make her an outstanding legal professional.

I asked Jonathan to review my employment agreement. I sent it to him on a Sunday, and he gave an answer in 30 minutes. In our follow up discussion at 9 PM (!) two days later, Jonathan was very thorough. He pointed out a number of flaws in the agreement. Ultimately, he put my mind at ease on the matter. It is evident that Jonathan has many years of experience and great insights. I would definitely engage him again and I would highly recommend him to everyone. Bottom line: Jonathan has great experience and knowledge and works 24/7 for clients - what can be better than that!

I was referred to Jonathan by a former colleague who also negotiated a settlement with my employer. From the minute that I reached out to his office Jonathan was responsive, helpful and sympathetic. I was initially taken aback by Jonathan's aggressive style but as we worked together we developed a good dialogue and rapport. I followed Jonathan's advice and I trusted him to manage the process and he delivered as promised. I have already recommended him to several other colleagues who are in similar situations.

I read the past review about Jaime before calling him and knew immediately I'd like this guy and what do you know, 10 minutes into the call, he has me cackling on the phone. I've spoken to dozens of lawyers at this point about my landlord-tenant case, but I can say that out of all these people, Jaime truly cares for your wellbeing. Not only could he relate to the issues I've been dealing with, but he also shows compassion towards me, and is honest, transparent, and thoughtful in his responses. You'll find lawyers that want to take your money and rake up the charges, but I can tell he'd spend the diligent time fighting for my rights to ensure I can sleep soundly at night. I'm still figuring out my next steps in this case, but he's the first person I'd call to move forward with! Thanks Jaime!!!

22 Mar, 2024 by Anonymous

Jaime is a beast at this. I called this man with a situation that had me so mad i couldn't even explain to him correctly . I hung up because at this point i was so mad that im sure he could not understand me. He kindly called me back. I yelled at this man from the top of my lungs assuming he was going to treat me as other attorneys i tried calling prior to Jaime. Some even saying i dont understand you, you sound chinese. This man took his time to research and recommend me some actions i should take towards my situation. Somthing other attorneys could not provide me with. He did all this for free ! I suggest you stop the search and give this homie a call .

17 May, 2023 by Rhena

Jaime spent one hour and 12 minutes on the phone with me painting the reality of the legal system here in NY for a naïve dork who just moved here and was scammed. He was direct (one big reason I just moved back to the East Coast) and helped create a new angle that may help me with my challenge before I have to jump and swim in a whole heap of bureaucratic mess I would prefer not to play in. I hope I never have to play with the law again after I settle into my life here in the big apple. I felt there were enough things I experienced in my conversation with Jaime that would lead me to trust him. He tells stories in a way that truly helped me to see some of what I need to see. He is straight forward and blunt and I could detect enough heart in him that would see him as someone with whom I would like to team. Thank you for your time tonight Jaime. Best, Rhena

I could not say enough kind things about this man . I owned a small hobby farm in upstate NY . I was charged with doing something illegal against the animal welfare act and it was brought down to NYC. I originally hired a firm that told me my case was a win win no problem as they were just collecting money. After a one count conviction in a five day Trial in NYC. I fired the lawyers and hired Richard who was highly recommended by my civil lawyer to handle Post conviction and the sentencing and appeal. It was the best decision I made. Richard is tough but fair and the judge that tried my case in the southern district at sentencing even praised his work . Richard also met with me and the probation officer for sentencing It was very reassuring to have some one in your corner that is fighting for you for me it made all the difference he explained everything and did not let me believe lies thank you for everything Richard.

When faced with the daunting challenge of a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge, having the right legal representation can make all the difference. I’m beyond grateful to have had Matt Simone by my side throughout this journey. His exceptional legal acumen and compassionate approach transformed what could have been a deeply stressful experience into a manageable and ultimately favorable outcome. My situation was complicated by the fact that I reside in Connecticut, while the offense occurred in Saratoga Springs, New York. This geographic distance added a layer of complexity to an already intricate legal process. From the moment I reached out to Matt Simone, it was clear that his expertise was exactly what I needed. He demonstrated a profound understanding of both New York and Connecticut laws, which was crucial in addressing the unique challenges posed by my case. Matt’s took the time to thoroughly explain the charges, the legal ramifications, and the potential outcomes. His deep knowledge of DUI defense law, coupled with his experience in handling cases in New York, ensured that I was well-informed and prepared for every step of the process. Matt’s willingness to hold my hand through every step was a testament to his dedication. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide updates on the case’s progress. His accessibility was a lifeline, especially given the distance between my home and the court proceedings. The ultimate measure of a lawyer’s effectiveness is the outcome they achieve for their clients. In my case, Matt secured an ideal resolution to my DWAI charge. Thanks to his meticulous preparation and strategic advocacy, the outcome was far better than I could have hoped for. Matt’s adept negotiation skills and thorough understanding of the legal system played a crucial role in reaching this favorable conclusion. What truly sets Matt Simone apart from other lawyers is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication, often going above and beyond what is typically expected. Whether it was coordinating with local New York authorities on my behalf or ensuring that I fully understood every aspect of the process, Matt’s efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. In addition to his professional excellence, Matt is a person of remarkable integrity. His honest and straightforward approach was refreshing, and I felt confident that he had my best interests at heart throughout the entire legal process. This trust was critical in a situation where every decision and action had significant implications. If you find yourself in need of a DUI defense lawyer, Matt Simone is the person you want by your side. His combination of legal expertise, personal dedication, and compassionate support make him an exceptional advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch DUI defense lawyer. Thank you, Matt, for your unwavering support and for achieving such an outstanding outcome on my behalf.

Mr. Simone is honest, straight forward and will never give you a guarantee on a deal to the nature of law and the unpredictability. He’s well versed in the law of DWI. His team is very customer service oriented and this law firm felt like home to me and provided above and beyond service to me and fully thankful for the referral itself! Appreciate the above and beyond reproach to their business model. Always thankful for what he did for me!

25 May, 2022 by Anonymous

Matthew Simone was a life saver for me! He got my DWI and refusal to submit a breathalyzer down to an open container where I only paid a fine, completed an alcohol evaluation, and a short course for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). My arrest record, finger prints and mug shot were sealed and my license was not suspended for a year for refusing the breathalyzer. I also can travel freely back and forth to Canada where my girlfriend lives because of Matt. I was stopped at a checkpoint, only conducted one field sobriety test, did not conduct a breathalyzer test, and was respectful and cooperative with the police. If you were swerving in and out of lanes, stumble out of your car, blow over a .08, and are rude to the police there is only so much that can be done. However, Matt will still fight for you to get you what you want. Remember to set proper expectations and know that a majority of how your case is going to play out depends on your behavior that night. Matt’s communication was also great! If I had any questions or concerns about the legal process he would answer them swiftly and take the time to ensure I understood what was happening. His legal assistant Joselyn was also spectacular! She would get back to me in a timely manner as well and always sent me what I needed, even if I asked twice and forgot that I already had what I needed. 10/10 would recommend! Hopefully we won’t cross paths again, but if we do it feels good knowing Matt is on your legal team!

We found Brian at the most stressful time of our lives him via his reputation of success with the same plaintiffs as in our case, which confirmed that he was the best choice we could make. Most importantly, he was something that our last attorney wasn’t… he was OUR ADVOCATE! He was honest and dependable. Always made time to answer our questions and return emails. Made sure we were in agreement before moving forward. Gave us great, straight-forward advice to navigate the tricky employment law field. Handled our case with the best outcome possible. Knew the law. Filed well-written and timely court papers. And stayed strong and unwavering. Honest Contractors with employment law issues need him.

As the President of a nonprofit organization, I hired Brian Greben to represent us in a recent court case involving employment law. He was always available, was responsive, had an in-depth knowledge of the legal issues, and produced cogent, well-written, and timely court filings. He led us to a successful outcome. I recommend him highly.

After our 15 yo son was arrested on several felony charges, we were connected with Yusuf by a friend who has experience in the NYC juvenile justice system. Yusuf worked collaboratively with us, listened to our ideas, and supported us throughout this extremely stressful time. He was good at explaining all the steps of the process (several times) as the language and procedures were unfamiliar to us. He tried to minimize costs and charged a reasonable retainer. Working collaboratively, we were able to have a "best case scenario" outcome for our son. I highly recommend Yusuf.

Mr. Yusef was instrumental in keeping me & my younger brother updated about his case. He went above and beyond to represent us and ensure us he was doing the best he could do. Trustworthy. Reliable. Punctual & Empathetic. If there is anybody you would want to handle your case he is the person for it.

Yusuf kept me informed about all parts of my case, followed up on all things that needed followed up and I received what I considered a best case scenario ending to my case, He was also fair in his billing and would trust again with a different case. My case dealt with the Bronx Criminal Courts.

I was referred to attorney Hardaway by a few MBA school classmates that had several good experiences working with attorney Hardaway. He was successful handling high stakes litigation and transactions. Johnathon is a genius, the most intelligent and strategic thinking person I have ever met. At our first meeting he listened patiently, thereafter he outlined a six-month plan to resolve how best to negotiate and sell my corporation and the commercial property it sits on at or above my desired price. Then he delivered methodically. When there were unforeseen problems he resolved them quickly. I recommend Johnathon Hardaway to anyone seeking a great business lawyer and strategic thinker.

Johnathon is simply the best! He is diligent, intelligent, and prompt. Every time I had to go to court, Johnathon was there by the time I arrived. I won my case! I am very satisfied and would highly recommend Johnathon.

I hired attorney Johnathon Hardaway to negotiate a $11 million restricted unit agreement. He did an excellent job. Thanks to his understanding of the law and "I am only asking for what is fair" negotiating style, I got a contract that far exceeded my expectations. He accurately anticipated the other sides moves. I recommend attorney Hardaway to anyone seeking an attorney.

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.
