If you’re in the film industry or considering an investment, heed this warning: Fred Goodman of Marin Goodman, from my experience, is not the ally he claims to be. I was referred to Fred by a trusted friend, who assured me that he was a stand-up professional. What a colossal mistake that turned out to be. Fred promised he would "represent and protect" both sides in a deal, but in reality, he only looked out for his so-called "best friend" and longtime client, Eric Gitter. I was misled into signing a contract that was nothing short of disastrous for my career. Fred’s interests were clearly never aligned with mine, and now I am left facing federal litigation with no end in sight, not to mention a painful loss of my business partner’s hard-earned funds. From my experience, Fred Goodman’s assurances were empty, and his advice came at a heavy cost. If you value your time, money, and career, I'd suggest considering some other firm than Marin Goodman. Don’t fall into the same trap—reach out to me, and I’ll gladly share the details and documentation to help you avoid a similar fate.

The Wagoner Firm successfully handled a dispute for us with a contractor who failed to perform work at our home in accordance with our contract. After we were unable to reach an agreement with the contractor, The Wagoner Firm brought the contractor to the table and negotiated the completion of all repairs and remedial work shortly after we retained them. I would highly recommend The Wagoner Firm to others in need of representation for any contract disputes!

I met Peter Klose through very unfortunate circumstances, my brother was dying and we needed to get his affairs in order. From the beginning, what struck me most about Peter was his deep level of compassion and respect for my brother and then me. That never changed throughout our experience. Peter fully understood the level of grief that we were dealing with. His empathetic character was a tremendous gift for me in managing not only the loss of a beloved family member, but also the anxiety of now living through such a traumatic experience while having to settle his estate. Peter, on more than one occasion, also provided emotional support as I expressed how anxious the process of closing a loved one's life down was making me. He was honest in offering professional and personal advice. His words, "Let me handle this. It's what I do" couldn't have brought any higher level of trust in him. He was supportive and patient in allowing me to ask the same questions repeatedly. He was thorough in communicating with me throughout each step of the process and in understanding the details of the paperwork. Peter's "I don't like to lose" attitude assured me that he was truly working in my best interest. My circumstances weren't typical, but through his passionate work ethic, we got through it all. I can't say enough good things about the decent human being that Peter is, much less the level of his legal expertise. When I met Peter, he was a complete stranger, an off-handed recommendation from another stranger to me. When everything was settled, and I could reflect, I realized that Peter is one of those people that I was fortunate enough to have come into my life at the worst time of my life. In my vulnerability, I felt protected by him. I completely trusted him to handle the details of my brother's life without hesitation. We closed the door on this tragic event by sharing a slice of pizza, and a conversation about some of the more pleasant things in life. In closing, I highly recommend Peter Klose to anyone who needs an attorney who comes from a foundation of passion for his work, compassion for his clients, honor, and expertise in knowing very well how to manage your legal affairs.

Surviving an accident is a blessing of course however, the stress of dealing with everything after can be a burden. At first I was going to use a different office but last decided to go with Frank and it was the best decision I could have made. I felt so respected, heard, and cared for by not only Mr. Cassisi but everyone on his team I got the chance to speak too. They do not waste time at all and definitely uphold a standard with their practice. I would recommend them to anyone in the blink of an eye. In my opinion, they truely deserve the praise of these reviews. Frank is just that guy.🫰🏽

My husband and I had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Nicholas Khayumov at Littman Krooks. Nicholas helped set up our estate planning and wills. The way that Nicholas navigated us through this process was remarkably professional, efficient and organized. Every step of the way he understood what we were looking for, what our goals were and he patiently explained everything to us–at times more than once. We could not have had a better experience. We highly recommend him.

Nick was very helpful in reviewing and clarifying details of a contract for a continuing care community. He listened well and sometimes defined our priorities better than we could articulate them. We appreciated his guidance and careful oversight.

The team at Littman Krooks was excellent in every way. My attorney, Nicholas Khayumov, was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and compassionate. Nick exceeded my expectations and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Littman Krooks to anyone in need of legal assistance for Estate Planning/Elder Law. I would certainly retain them again should the need arise. OUTSTANDING.

The United States of America (USA) is known among my Countrymen as the "land of milk and honey." However, obtaining the so-called "status & case " is difficult and time-consuming. Many looked for a chance to process the necessary paperwork. Due to the careful examination and assessment of the provided documents, several failed while others succeeded. After going through the technical process for a few years, I am among those who succeeded. My sincere appreciation to Atty. Moumita who helped me along the way. When it comes to helping people who want to obtain legal status in the United States, Attorney Moumita Rahman is fully aware of the legislation. She is passionate about her work and shows empathy for her clients, qualities that are expected of a top-tier attorney. Her rationality and justifiability demonstrate her capacity for logical thought. As a client, I was satisfied and my interests were protected by her legal strategies. Therefore, I heartily endorse Atty.Moumita Rahman and her Team. this law firm have done an Explicit Job. particular to others who wish to receive the same value-added services that I did. Kudos to Atty.Moumita. Such An excellent job, indeed! Thanks A million!!!

I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal assistance. Thank you for making this process so smooth!

Moumita Rahman was extremely helpful regarding my immigration status, more specifically with the petition for alien relative. She’s was very precise and attentive to detail regarding the paperwork that needed to be filled out. She’s was also very helpful in helping me understand the paperwork needed, the information that was required , and rough timeline of the entire process. She’s is also very responsive when it comes to calls or email with regards to the situation or any questions. I highly recommend Moumita Rahman.

My husband and I had an excellent experience with Dotan Cohen Law Offices while applying for our green cards. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They guided us step by step, addressing all our concerns and ensuring we had all the necessary documentation. Thanks to their expertise, our applications were approved without any issues. We will definitely be using their services again to apply for our kids' visas once we enter the USA. We highly recommend this office to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters—they truly went above and beyond!

He was such a great support through our years of this process that I am forever grateful.

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?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
