Rachel is very personable and has a great communication style. She responds promptly to emails and the few times I haven't been able to reach her directly by phone, she has responded within the same business day. She was also excellent at determining the best way to resolve my employment issue.

Gary was enormously helpful in working through the details of a draft employment contract that was causing friction between me and my husband. He patiently and professionally addressed our concerns and quickly understood both the legal and interpersonal aspects of the situation. In very little time he created an economic and personal comfort level that resolved our misgivings about the contract and enabled the two of us to get back on track. I highly recommend him.

I work with Craig and can attest to his eagerness to listen and help his co-workers with complex matters. As a listener, Craig seeks to understand the issues and provide thoughtful analysis that usually leads to the right answer. Craig's approach to the law is client centric, and I believe clients are well served by Craig's passion for doing great work!

We have worked with Sharon for the past year and half and I can’t say enough about her demeanor, professionalism and expertise. Since day one, Sharon showed a deep understanding and willingness to guide us in a difficult process. She is the kindest and most helpful lawyer I have met. In the last few years we have worked with over 5 lawyers in different matters and Sharon helped us with outstanding recommendations and honest feedback. We know our case could not be in better hands. We are so grateful to work with her and be able to recommend her to others!

I was referred to the Law Office of Mark E Alter by a friend after an injury. I was unable to get to their office because of my injury so Alex came to me for my consultation. Alex explained the process to me and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I felt very confident from the beginning that I hired the best legal team to handle my case. My case wasn’t an easy one but ultimately we won a substantial settlement that I’m very happy with. I want to thank Mark, Alex, Erica and the entire legal team for their hard work and dedication. I will highly recommend you guys to anyone in need. Thank you!

I was heavily in debts and was being sued by one of the collectors. A friend of mine recommended that I should file for bankruptcy chapter 7 so I searched online for a bankruptcy lawyer and came across J. Singer Law Group. I contacted Mr. Singer, told him my financial issue and why I couldn't pay them. He accepted my means test and explained the process to me. It became that I hired him and he represents me. I am so glad I hired him to take care of the bankruptcy for me. He is a godsend. I have to do part of the work too but It was worth it. He got my debt wipe clean and clean start. My case got discharged. Thanks to J. Singer and his law group for making that happen. If you ever need a bankruptcy lawyer, J. Singer Law Group is the one to call.

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries. So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good. This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing. I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured. The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians. Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted. If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip. Rafique K April 2024

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!

As my previous visa's grace period was coming to an end, I urgently searched for immigration lawyers in New York and, after consulting with many lawyers, decided to work with Attorney Jimin Shin. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to successfully obtain both my B-2 and new H-1B visas. From the very first consultation, Attorney Shin provided clear and concise answers, making the complex processes easy. His prompt and accurate responses are always trustworthy, allowing me to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thanks to Attorney Shin’s meticulous works, everything went smoothly, and I successfully received both visas. I highly recommend Attorney Jimin Shin to anyone dealing with visa-related concerns. I will definitely reach out him again when I do my green card process. Thank you again for your exceptional support!

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:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • 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.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
