There is no way for me to express how grateful I am for Ms. Sanderson’s help and service. She is truly a gift sent from god, she truly cares and will go out of her to take care of her clients and stand by your side. People like her are what give me faith in the American justice system because you can always count on her to do her best by you. She saved my life and I owe my second chance at life to her. If I can give her 10 stars I would, if you’re looking for council that you can trust to have your best Interest at heart, Ms. Sanderson is who I would recommend.

I recently had Bracha develop a Will as well as a Living Will and Power of Attorney for me.
A colleague recommended Bracha, and I’m happy they did. It was a pleasure to work with Bracha, her knowledge and kind demeanor made the process both seamless and enjoyable. I fully recommend Bracha, she is not only extremely knowledgeable in her line of work, but also a pleasure to work with.

Joseph represented my nephew Ronnie recently and was extremely dedicated and professional. His presented the case with such care and precision, the jury only needed 30 mins to find my nephew not guilty and this was after a hung jury in a previous trial. I would recommend him to represent anyone seeking justice and truth.

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!!!

I recently had a consultation with Ali Shahrestani and I can't recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain everything in detail, clearing up so many questions I had. His professionalism, patience, and ability to break down complex legal matters made me feel confident and well-informed. I truly appreciate the time he dedicated to ensure I fully understood my options. Thank you so much, Ali Shahrestani for your outstanding service!

Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Clarke represented my daughter here in Little Rock, Arkansas.
As if coming from New York to Little Rock,Arkansas wasn’t pure dedication, so was their dedication to my daughter’s Federal case and our family. Their passion and dedication in defending my daughter’s rights was way more than I imagined or expected because they were committed to her case. They picked apart every detail of her case and examined it as if she was their family member being represented.
Their communication with us was amazing. My daughter and my family were kept abreast at every turn of this case. My daughter is now home with her daughter. She was released after court on the same day.
Exceptional workmanship by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Clarke. We will never forget how they made us feel. We were treated with respect. We will be forever grateful!!

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 Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best.
When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived.
Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

First starter he is very easy to work with! I never worried about my case. He makes you understand every single detail. I got my greencard as short as 7 months and we didn’t even go through interview process. He is so professional and knows what he is doing. You can always reach out to him very easily. So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

As a small buiness owner who wears serveral hats, it's important to have an Attorney who has experience and understands your problems. Maryam was easy to work with, knowledgeable, always kept in touch and updated me on the important aspects of my case. I was so happy I also use her for some personal affairs as well(Real Estate and Probate). I highly recommend her and will call again if the need arises.

Maria Markou is the best lawyer not only for her strong legal ability and high ethical standards but also because she is a winner.

My experience with Gouchev Law has been nothing shy of excellent. As a small business owner with very little knowledge in the field of law, I searched for a law firm that could both provide me with insight to the best course of action and also execute upon that plan. With Gouchev Law, I felt that immediately as they had me in their best interest and has become a firm that I can trust and rely on for whatever my business needs as it continues to grow.

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

From the moment I connected with Ani, I felt like she had our backs. While she was my lawyer, she approached our situation looking for the best outcome for all parties. She was empathetic and incredibly patient, and knew when to push back and how to give tough advice. She was at all times direct and professional and never gave up. We were both happy with the outcome, and that's a lot to say when you're dealing with an otherwise dramatic process. I don't necessarily need to go through this process again (sic) but I'd gladly work with Ani. I can't think of a better lawyer with whom to work than Ani.

Ani is extremely smart and well-versed in the intricacies of divorce law. Her optimism and empathetic approach infused every interaction with a sense of hope and reassurance. During the financial settlement negotiations, Ani was a true collaborator. She didn't just offer solutions; she took the time to carefully consider my ideas and worked through them with me. Divorce is a very unsettling, long, hard process and I am grateful that Ani was on my team.

Her knowledge, support and guidance got me through the process smoothly.

I had a complicated situation where in i had to get divorce through publication as my husband & i had not been in contact for 5 years & i was out of US for few years. (it was an abusive marriage)
I reside in Buffalo & i spoke with several attorneys locally but i did not feel that any of the local attorneys were able able to understand my situation. Some suggested that i locate my husband & each one of them wanted to start by identifying & listing the assets.
Unsatisfied, i started looking for attorneys in NY city and I found Ms Brenner through Avvo. During the consultation she was extremely kind & understanding and agreed to take on my case.
Ms Brenner helped me get divorce through publication and she / her team took care of everything. All i had to do was provide her with documentation.
I am grateful to Ms Brenner for helping me get out of a sticky stressful situation. I would definitely recommend her to anybody in similar situation. Thank you, Ms Brenner.

Lois acted as the mediator in my divorce, and she was absolutely excellent. It was a very difficult time for me personally, but Lois made the process as easy and painless as it could possibly have been. She listened to each of us separately, and made thoughtful and helpful suggestions. She is fair, and seemed to genuinely care about finding a solution that was best for both parties.
Lois is perfectly qualified to handle this type of situation, given her background in psychology. She truly understands people, and used this ability to keep my ex-husband and I calm, and smoothly navigate a few tricky situations.
I felt very understood by Lois, and think that she not just a top-quality attorney, but also a very decent person. She is responsive, and answered my emails within a couple of minutes every time. Highly rated!

I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed.
The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process.
Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted.
I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

Since relatively few co-op buildings that fall within HDFC guidelines, I definitely wanted a lawyer who understood the program and its special regulations. After the initial, larger firm that I retained failed to make any progress with my HDFC case over a year, I retained Jennings's firm. My first lawyer--who has been interviewed by local news outlets for his HDFC expertise and listed as an NYC co-op specialist--had jeopardized my case with his negligence (my retainer was refunded). As a result, I faced a pending, time-sensitive notice without legal representation. Furthermore, as my case was not straightforward and required investigation, I found many lawyers could not estimate my case's potential cost or length. Walter Jennings and his daughter Elizabeth (who is also an attorney with his firm) were amazing. Serving as an intermediary between various third parties, they made more progress in one month than my initial attorney had been in a year. Ultimately, and due to Jennings's hard work, a court ruled in my favor. With a full-time Office Manager, the firm has always been receptive to my inquiries whether by phone or email. Moreover, they proactively updated me on case activities in contrast to my previous experiences with lawyers who I had to track down. Walter and Elizabeth had this knowledge, and I highly recommend their services to any potential client.

In early 2019 Kirsten put her heart and soul into my divorce proceedings and displayed a deep knowledge of the law. I was referred to her by another attorney and I'm eternally grateful that she took my case.
She advised me with empathy, patience and wisdom and it has all paid off in the long run for all parties involved (including and especially our daughters). It's not about winning or losing but rather acceptance, respect and compromise; Kirsten's experience is invaluable to anyone facing some challenging moments.
I can't recommend her highly enough to navigate any marriage/divorce, mediation and child custody situations and I am so thankful she came into my life during a difficult period.

After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

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.

I am a professional musician and it was brought to my attention by a family member that someone was using an image that was copyrighted by the LLC that my band has established. We promptly contacted Mr. Thompson in regards to this matter. He acted swiftly and decisively and remedied the situation to our mutual satisfaction. The image in question was removed from the webstore that hosted the copyrighted picture and the perpetrators were cautioned to act more appropriately in the future. In the years since Mr. Thompson has proved himself to be a most trusted source of legal advice and expertise and has proven indispensable in the running of my small business.

I first met with Raunak when someone else was representing me in my divorce. By the end of my consultation with him, it was clear that Raunak is a breed apart from other attorneys. It is really night and day.
My divorce was so messy and my first attorney made the mess even worse instead of fixing problems. Raunak changed the whole direction of my case. It was such a breath of fresh air. I don’t know how I could have gotten through it all and kept my sanity intact if I hadn’t changed attorneys and hired Raunak to represent me.
As time went on, Raunak proved himself to be very thorough and knowledgeable. Unlike my first attorney, he wasn’t all talk. He actually got results. Raunak also repeatedly went above and beyond his obligations and proved that he was genuinely committed to me and my case. I know he has much bigger cases than mine, but he always treated my case as important. His commitment has been truly exceptional.
If you're looking for an attorney who will defend you and your rights, Raunak is the one. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me. He’s seriously the most amazing attorney ever and I am forever grateful!!

Anyone who has had to go to family court knows just how stressful it is. A big part of the stress is worrying whether your attorney will really help you achieve a favorable outcome. Another concern is wondering, "Will my attorney make my case a priority, or will I be just be another client that he/she can barely keep track of?" All these concerns vanished after I started working with Raunak Kothari. At every step of the way, Raunak put me at ease with his knowledge and attentiveness. Thanks to his experience, he was able to point out so many considerations that had never occurred to me. Apart from making me feel like a priority, Raunak ran circles around opposing counsel. It wasn’t even close to a fair fight. Throughout the whole process, he fought for my interests and guided me with tremendous insight. And he did all of these things with kindness and respect. At the end of the day, I was thrilled with the outcome of my case. I am so grateful that I had Raunak representing me and can’t imagine that any other lawyer could have achieved the same results. I will send my family and friends straight to him if they are ever in need of a family law attorney. He is simply phenomenal and worth every penny.

I was represented by one of the best known firms in New York City, but my case was going in circles. A friend suggested I speak with Raunak Kothari and I am so glad I did. Raunak brought clarity to my situation, quickly got my case back on track, resolved the issues my prior attorney could not and brought other issues to my attention that I had never considered.
Throughout the process, Raunak kept an unwavering focus on my priorities. Before negotiations, he explained the implications of various options, suggested alternatives, anticipated the other side’s arguments and explained the law that applied to my situation. At the four way meeting we finally had, Raunak’s experience really came to shine. He was so practical, clear and persuasive. Even the attorney on the other side could not disagree with his points.
Raunak’s calm but firm demeanor gets results. He is open, direct, sharp and responsive. In the end, he had to completely rewrite the agreement my prior attorney had started and the difference was striking. Even though his work was so much better, his fees were lower. After he resolved my case, I have continued to seek his counsel as new circumstances arise.

Lauren has been such a god-send for me. She helped me to mitigate a messy mediation situation where I was poised to give everything away by the time she came to my aide. She was very patient with me on hard decisions and helped me to gain back shared custody of my children without going through the process of litigation. If litigation were to have been necessary, she had me prepared to go with another lawyer so I wouldn't lose any time. She didn't miss a beat and my life after divorce is much better now if she had not come in to help me with my case. I would recommend Lauren Bokor!!

I hired Lauren as a collaborative attorney in an effort to settle my divorce without proceeding to litigation. I knew very little about the different processes (e.g., mediation, collaborative, litigation) used to settle divorces and Lauren was extremely helpful in educating me on these topics and teaching me the pros and cons of each approach. This helped me to make educated decisions that I was comfortable with based on our discussions. She also made it clear that she had a genuine interest in the well being of my family and always minimized the business aspect of the relationship. She is an excellent lawyer in this space and I highly recommend her to others that are considering legal representation in divorce proceedings. Very happy with her work on my case!

I first met Lauren about nine years ago when looking for a mediation lawyer to facilitate my divorce process. From the many lawyers I talked to, she was the one that inspired the most trust and confidence, and to this I do not regret the decision of working with her.
Those who have been through a divorce know that a divorce is always a messy emotional and financial process. This gets magnified if people do it the "traditional" way with separate lawyers alienating the couple even more, expensive litigation, arguing back-and-forward endlessly, etc. At times this process can take years.
But with mediation divorce does not become an adversarial process. It is a process in which both parties communicate in ways that are healthy. Lauren is excellent and very skillful at facilitating this type of communication. What I appreciated the most about working with Lauren was her kind spirit and empathetic presence. While working with her it felt like she must have received training as a counselor at some point in her career due to her excellent listening skills. It made the divorce process go smoothly, and it was significantly cheaper than a traditional divorce.
I am grateful for the support Lauren provided during a rather difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her professional services.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
