The Law Office of Carmelia Taylor was recommended to me by a colleague, and I’m so glad I took their advice. Carmelia and her team were compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about immigration law. They made the process much easier than I expected, and I’m thrilled with the successful outcome. I can’t thank Abogada Carmelia enough for her support and highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.

Mr. Pollack was my divorce attorney and he exceeded expectations. He is an extremely dilligent and hard working lawyer who seems to always be working on your case. Mr. Pollack is vey experienced in the field of divorce law and it was apparent that I was being represented by an expert. He is very easy to work with as is his staff. Everyone at his firm was always always very kind and helpful to me. I was extremely happy with how my case turned out and will always gladly recommend Mr. Pollack without reservation.

My case was not in NY, but wanted to ask questions regarding a hypothetical situation where my divorce was moved to NY, since my ex has moved there. I called just to set-up a consultation, but Mr. Pollack ended up just helping me right there and then. He answered my questions thoroughly, gave me estimates on child support payments, and also gave me tips on the divorce in general. If I get the chance, I will definitely work with Mr. Pollack.

We recently worked with Gina DePrima to set up our trust, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The process of creating a trust can be overwhelming and confusing, but Gina made it as simple as possible for us. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every detail, ensuring we understood everything clearly. Gina was always available to answer any and all questions we had, no matter how big or small. Her professionalism, expertise, and approachable manner made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for someone to assist with your trust, Gina is the one to choose!

I never considered writing a negative review until my experience with Van Horn & Friedman, P.C. (“VH&F”). However, I feel compelled to share my story. I retained Alissa to file a petition (for privacy reasons I will not disclose the type) and to represent me throughout the associated court proceedings. Immediately upon learning of the situation, Alissa could not understand why a petition had not previously been filed. When I explained to her that I was told by the local police department that the person was too old, she said that the police do not know the law—she does. Regrettably, I retained her services.
To my dismay, I soon learned that the local police department knew what they were talking about; Alissa did not. I believe that VH&F eventually found out shortly after Alissa was unable to file the petition. However, the only response I received when inquiring about the situation was “red tape” and “you have a judge that cares.” Not acceptable explanations coming from a firm you are paying $500.00 an hour to represent you, especially considering that the judge does not have the authority to circumvent the system. I asked at least three (3) times and always received the same responses. Laughably, I was asked by a managing partner at VH&F if I was an attorney. I am not, I just don’t enjoy being taken advantage of.
I believe that VH&F’s hourly rate is way overpriced. Moreover, their retainer agreement provides for billing in fifteen (15) minute increments. My bill ran up very quickly because of sending/receiving correspondence. The problem is that Alissa was recommending services I had already tried unsuccessfully and were not related to the petition. As such, I found myself paying VH&F to explain to them that their recommendations were not appropriate for my situation after previously providing that history to her.
My takeaway: Don’t expect to receive a good product just because a business charges more than their competitors and be wary of someone’s overconfidence!

The firm has represented my family and my business on a few matters, from commercial litigation, to creating business contracts and personal matters, including buying and selling a home. My family and I have trusted John and Ed to give us excellent guidance and ensure we were protected. The firm and its partners are responsive and effective. We feel they value us as clients and know us by name, not just a file on their desk. The firm is always responsive to my family and my business needs.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working as co-counsel with John on a case several years ago and he has been a loyal friend and trusted colleague since. As a solo practitioner, it is always comforting to have another attorney to discuss case strategy with and John has always been there for me when I needed it. He is the consummate professional; hardworking, responsive and insightful. He is a zealous advocate and a well-respected litigator. It is with great trust and confidence that I have referred a number of my own clients to John for litigation assistance.

I found Ms. Richards to be highly unprofessional, highly unethical and highly prejudicial in the execution of my parent's estate.
In my opinion, resorting to threats and bullying in an attempt to intimidate a particular beneficiary is beneath the conduct you would otherwise expect from a member of the Bar Association.
To be clear, I was not "unhappy with my parent's estate", I was shocked by Ms. Richard's behavior.
Her handling of the estate relative to administration and advice given was deplorable, and in no way represented what my parents would have wanted. If you're in the market for an estate attorney that you can trust to do the right thing upon your passing, I recommend that you look elsewhere.
I would not have even given Ms. Richards a "1 star" review, but Google doesn't accept anything less.

Stephen Donaldson, exemplifies everything one could hope for when seeking legal help. Stephen has been a part of my life for 5+ Years and has been serving as co guardian of my brother. He’s a life saver, as mentioned in the reviews below he is Kind, understanding, and brilliant.
While his practice may have shifted to a different type of Law, there isn’t anyone else I’d call first for advice, guidance and legal help. I’d want him in my corner any day of the week.
The world could use more folks like Stephen.
Thanks for your time and help over the years it’s been a blessing.

Ian was my third attorney and I cannot thank him enough. He is true professional, extremely knowledgeable, and always available when needed. Every thing he told me he would do, he did. This was one of the most difficult times in my life, especially after two terrible attorneys, and Mr. Mednick and his staff made the process easier while actually explaining all my options. I have and will continue to recommend his firm.

Today we had a court appointment for Oral Arguments at Surrogate Court. Our attorney Alison was excellent and totally prepared in presenting all the facts of our case to the judge and the court clerk. Though we will have to wait for the judges final decision, our family could not have wanted anyone else by our side today and during these last trying two years.

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

We recently hired Dotan Cohen to assist my husband in obtaining a green card through marriage, and we couldn't be more satisfied with his services. From start to finish, the entire process took just a few months, which was significantly expedited thanks to Dotan's expertise.
Dotan was incredibly nice, helpful, and communicative throughout. He meticulously prepared both of us for our interviews, ensuring we had every possible document that would strengthen our case. His preparation was spot on, and thanks to his thorough guidance, our application was successful.
One of the standout aspects of working with Dotan was his availability. He was always reachable for any questions or concerns we had, making the entire process much less stressful. His fee structure was transparent and reasonable, with no hidden surprises.
What truly set Dotan apart was his ability to think outside the box, especially regarding our financial sponsorship situation. He provided us with creative options that ultimately allowed us to save money without compromising our application.
Overall, Dotan Cohen's professionalism, dedication, and innovative approach made a potentially daunting process smooth and successful. We highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer.
Thank you!

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.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

- 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.
