I hired Joe and his team for a personal injury case. It was handled very professionally and with integrity. I was made aware of every step in the process and understood my options throughout the duration of the case. Joe is a fighter and always looked out for my best interest. If you want results I recommend consulting with Joe and his team. You will not be disappointed. It was the best move I made.

Steven and his team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns.
There was not a time that Steven did not respond to any of my questions the same day. It took 18 months for my case to be settled and he kept in the loop the entire time.
If it wasn’t for Steven’s kindness, I don’t think I could have done it.

I choose Gail to help me with a visitation petition. I first spoke with her on the phone and she was so empathetic to my situation and fully understood everything I was going through. Gail is absolutely the best of the best and has amazing skills for her profession. She was able to get me the results that I wanted! Gail is also an amazing woman who was there for me in my time of need! I absolutely recommend her to anyone that is going through a divorce or any family court manner.

I retained Ted Naima for legal assistance regarding an auto accident. Since the very first meeting, Ted was direct and honest about the upcoming legal process and expectations. Ted explained the litigation process is great details, collected the necessary documents, and filed the process. Ted continued to press the responded until the proper resolution of the case. Ted did not take No for an answer from the insurance company. At the end, Ted prevailed and I'm very happy with the result! Moreover, during Covid, we conducted all meetings by phone and video conference. I recommend Ted to anyone who needs a lawyer!

Well let’s start with the fact I was miss diagnosed with Breast Cancer 3 years in a row. Unfortunately my breast cancer turned into bone cancer. Stage 4 .No attorney wanted to help me not even the so called Big Firms in FL. Ted took over and he not only won the case for me. It it was more than that. He cared and he made us feel like he had our back. Never made me feel like giving up and he always fought for us. He is what an attorney is supposed to be. Thank you Mr Naima went above and beyond

Mr. Altschuler is the best out there. He is the definition of professionalism. Other attorneys turned my case down-but he was fighting for what's right for me not how much the case is worth. Today I'm still enjoying the compensation that he fought for and WON. Thanks again Mr. Altschuler. Call! Call! Call him NOW!

Frederick Altschuler is an outstanding lawyer. He has successfully represented me, my family and friends over the years and has always done an exceptional job. He's thorough, detailed and his years of experience makes him an expert at what he does. He makes himself available whenever you need him and takes the time to make sure you understand every detail of your case. Frederick's professionalism and knowledge of the law gives his clients the confidence to know that they are well taken care of. I have recommended Freddie and his partner Dan to many friends and colleagues and will continue to do so with certainty. He's the absolute best in his field!

Mr. Altschuler kept me abreast of the status of my case without me having to ask. I am the type of person that does not like to be left in the dark and hate to have to ask for information that I feel should be provided to me without having to ask or beg for it. I cannot tell you how impressed and appreciative I was of him and his staff on how they handled my case and kept me in the loop as things progressed. I highly recommend Mr. Altschuler and will certainly use him again. He's honest, fair and trustworthy.

A few years back Len Sperber handled a lawsuit against our company for a liability claim. The company that handled our insurance found a loophole in our policy and denied insurance for that claim. End result several months later, what could have been a financial disaster ended in a sigh of relief. It was settled for $1000. Need I say more

I hired Mr.Ford after consulting 10 lawyers prior.He listened to what I wanted out of my divorce and educated me on the process and my rights in this matter. I found that Mr.Ford also was their for support and was able to leave the worrying aside.He filed all the papers and documents on a very timely schedule,court dates and what to expect.Mr.Ford was very professional and his office kept me up to date every step of the way.My case was complicated and other issues were addressed concerning property and maintenance.Mr.Ford called or emailed me with information and he stayed on top of things,which is very important as the court system is backed up so time was very important to me. I found that Mr.Ford was very educated in all aspects by book and his many years of experience...he was able to "think outside the box"..In the final out come my divorce was granted and all property matters etc. were finalized and I was made whole again..Mr.Ford did get me everything on the list that was requested at our very first meeting.It went down exactly as he planned and said it would go. I highly recommend Mr.Ford and will continue to use him in the future..he LISTENED to my wants and needs and met them in all aspects.He's a great lawyer and very compassionate and dealt with sll my issues with care and understanding. Great lawyer!!!!!!

We are still in process right now, but so far Rich Ford has been there for me, he will always call me back in a timely matter when I leave a message and keeps me updated on everything. He seems very trust worthy. (Which is rare for an attorney) and I would recommend him to my friends and family and I would defiantly hire him again if needed.

I have used Scott Wooster of Wooster and Wooster several times and my sister has used him as well. Scott is a very compassionate, thorough and honest attorney that leaves no stone unturned. He keeps you informed on every aspect of the case so you always know how everything is going. If your case goes to trial he tells you what to expect and makes you comfortable with the process. He has been successful in all of the cases he has handled for my family. You can always feel confidant when Scott is on your side! I recommend Scott to anyone that needs a GREAT attorney.

Scott effectively negotiated a settlement with 2 insurance companies following an auto accident. He explained to us the basics of insurance, no-fault and tort law and set our expectations early. He remained available to us for questions and his office handled our no-fault claims even when initially denied by the company. Well recommended.

My story is a long one but ill try to keep it as short as possible. I was involved in a motorcycle accident. Basically a lady pretty much hit me at a perpendicular angle, or to better put it she "t-boned" me. I flew off the bike and my right side hit a tree. The impact was severe and left me with literally around 3 pages worth of injuries. The most severe of my injuries is that I have no use of my tight hand any more and i am in constant physical pain. Not the kind of pain you can just think of something else and it would go away.. It's the kind of pain that will cripple you. I've had about 4 spinal surgery and nothing worked.
Words cannot describe what David has been to me. Nevertheless, i will try. First he's been a loyal, trustworthy and honorable friend. Second he's been a great lawyer from the start of my case to the end. He's kept every single promise made to me, kept me updated as things went by, made me feel confident enough to talk to him about anything regarding the case, he even answered phone calls at all kinds of ridiculous hours just to make me feel comfortable.
I couldn't think of a better man, or lawyer for me.
In conclusion, i am more than satisfied with everything he's done for me. He went above and beyond the call of duty with me, for that i must say he's more than a lawyer to me, he's a trusted friend i've gained for life.

.While working for the NYPD as a school crossing guard,I was involed in a serious accident, the accident was life altering. While in the Hospital my Family and I realizied how serious my injuries were. My son Chris had experience working with Mr. Brand through his employment. My son and others from his work convinced me Mr. Brand was the best attorney to have. While building my case Mr. Brand called me every week ,often more than once. My confidence in him doing his job never wavered. He informed me of all his activities concerning my case, involved top notch academic experts for testimony. They created illustated boards and reports detailing how and why my life would be so changed. I knew I'd the right lawyer when, afterwards the opposing attorney's and Judge approached me to tell me I had a "wonderful attorney who really had my best intrest as his first priority". I told them "I know". I have recommended him to others since and I have to say, I consider him to be my friend. David is a good man with a good soul. From a terrible situation David has relieved my financial worries because I am now disabled, and secured my future medical need. I highly recommed this skilled attorney.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in an auto accident. During this incredibly stressful time, I was fortunate to have the expertise and support of Attorney Lee and Mark DeCicco. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, empathy, and dedication to my case.
One of the most commendable aspects of Attorney Mark DeCicco's service was his consistent and open communication. He was always available to answer my questions, whether by phone or email. I never felt like just another case; I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Attorney Mark DeCicco's truly exceptional skills and hard work, I received a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Attorney Mark DeCicco and the whole Sackstein, Sackstein & Lee team highly enough for anyone in need of an auto accident lawyer. You need them in your corner to win and win with the BEST possible outcome!

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
