I could not be be more satisfied with Mr Levy's services. He was a truly honest and standup individual throughout the entire process and he worked with my financial ability to pay. I was looking to get an insurance company to represent me in a case, but could not make any progress myself. Within a couple weeks he had resolved everything for me. Well worth the very fair cost for his services.

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.

Excellent Attorney, Established A Great Relationship
I had the pleasure to meet and work with Mr. Paul Cutrone in 2019. I had taken the advice of a dear friend who had highly recommended Mr. Cutrone for a malpractice case I was in need of representation.
From the first initial intake with Paul he was nothing short of absolute professionalism. Each and every time I spoke with him he took the time to listen to every detail and concern of mine. Mr. Cutrone always kept me informed of the steps along with explaining his role and mine as it would take part throughout my case. I always felt very well prepared and confident as the case progressed and that I know was a huge attribute to Mr. Cutrone and his commitment to my case.
He always put the needs of my own above all. Mr. Cutrone is exceedingly knowledgeable in his practice of law and shows up committed and dedicated in Working For You!!
This October of 2022 I was finally able to put closure to a difficult time in my life, and while from 2019 to 2022 and during a Covid shutdown..... where many attorney's may have slowed down, Paul did not!
Mr. Cutrone delivered on his word and never stopped in driving my case to move ahead even when the world had to stop, he did not.
I want to personally thank Mr. Cutrone for everything he did for me and my family. I never had to do this alone, Mr. Cutrone was not only the right decision in representing me but also the Best!
THANK YOU!

Paul did an excellent job . He kept me informed and up to date on the progression of the lawsuit I had filed. He was very professional along with being very caring and while he is a very busy man he never failed to respond to me. He explained everything and any documents that had to be signed in a timely manner were sent with instructions carefully explained. I felt confident with him from the beginning and that I was more than a number to him. I would highly recommend him.

After I received a judgment against me, I came to Mr. Paglinawan for his legal help. I'm so glad I did! He walked me through his legal strategy, the various outcomes and my legal options with each one. That gave me peace of mind because there were no surprises. Mr. Paglinawan had a genuine interest in making sure we were successful in this case. He was more than an attorney, he felt like a teammate cheering me on through each stage of my case. It was one of the most pleasant and worry-free legal disputes I have ever encountered.

I hired James to enforce promissory notes that had gone unpaid. He clearly explained what he was going to do in terms of contacting the people who owed me money, and if they didn't pay up after he sent letters, what the next course of action would be. He kept me updated throughout the process, and I could tell he was not only professionally committed to my legal needs, but he genuinely cared to help me out. He was also quick to reply to my emails. While his personality is very easy going, I can tell he is an aggressive litigator, and is really passionate about getting results for his clients. I wish all lawyers were this pleasurable to deal with.

I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney.

From my first meeting with Roberta Ashkin, I knew I had found the right lawyer for me. She took the time to understand my injuries and I knew she believed in my case. She answered all my questions and kept me fully informed throughout and guided me through a very stressful time.
I would recommend Roberta to anyone who has a medical malpractice. She went above and beyond and I was very pleased with the settlement she negotiated for me. You will be in good hands.

I engaged Roberta Ashkin after an auto accident when a tractor trailer hit my car and I sustained complicated injuries including a herniated disk in my neck. Not only did she negotiate a substantial settlement she was a constant source of support and guidance throughout the process.
Years later I was on an escalator in a department store that came to a sudden halt as it was descending. My wrist and ankle felt immediately sore. But I thought it was just a temporary effect. But before I left the store, I called Roberta and she told me not to leave until I filed an incident report. In the days and weeks that followed I found that my pain and mobility decreased significantly. Roberta was now able to hold the escalator company accountable.

I highly recommend that you work with Roberta Ashkin if you need legal counsel. Roberta represented me on two legal matters and ensured I had an excellent outcome. In my opinion what makes makes Roberta stand out from other attorneys is her personal involvement with her clients. Roberta's knowledge, hard work, professionalism and empathy for her clients makes her an outstanding attorney. I have recommended Roberta to family and friends and they have also been very pleased working with her.

I engaged the law firm of Rappaport, Glass, Levine and Zullo, LLP to deal with a medical malpractice lawsuit for my husband who was tragically the victim of unprofessional doctors.
From the very moment we met with Michael Glass I knew that we were in good and caring hands. Mr. Glass even came to the hospital to visit with my husband and myself. His compassion made us feel so comfortable during a very trying time.
Chris Glass then took over and stayed with us every step of the way. He kept us informed of all updates, answered phone calls and e-mails immediately and was always a very calming force. He never tired of my constant questions and was always available with answers. I can not give them a strong enough recommendation - 5 star service is the maximum but they gave us 10 star service. They have brought the lawsuit to a conclusion and they have my sincere gratitude for all of their hard work. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris, Michael and the whole law firm.

Attorney Babcock seamlessly guided me every step of the way through a two year legal process with white glove service. Ben provided consistent and timely updates, minimizing my involvement on a day to day basis so I could remain focused on my own career. Relying on his depth of experience, Ben shoots straight in relation to predicted outcomes. He respected and listened to my input when required putting me at ease in making informed decisions along the way. Hats off to Ben and his staff for a job well done!

Ben Babcock was part of a team that represented me in a case that lasted almost a year. The case was resolved very satisfactorily -- due in no small part to the smart and diligent way in which Ben researched the case and then assembled and managed the relevant documentation. Ben asked me careful questions and listened, if possible, even more carefully to my answers. In his calm and thoughtful manner, Ben took me through some very difficult material--clarifying and substantiating facts of the case from my point of view and finding corroborating information that I would not have imagined possible to discover. I was very impressed.and could not have been more pleased with the work he did.

Jean Marie handled my personal injury/medical malpractice case. Approximately 5 1/2 years ago I had a routine surgery which left me with a permanent injury and terrible pain. After 3 corrective surgeries and losing my business due to my inability to work, it was then, that I sought the counsel of the De Francisco law firm and Jean Marie Westlake.
Jean Marie was extremely responsive, and very honest. After being in the business world for 27 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many different attorneys. Never have I met anyone quite like Jean Marie.
Prior to the trial, Jean Marie handled everything. She studied my medical history and every aspect of my case. During the trial, she accurately depicted my experience and relayed my 4 to 5 year journey to the jury. When something did come up with the opposing counsel, she maneuvered expertly and efficiently and as a result, we succeeded. Jean Marie fought for me and my future in a fair, accurate and balanced way.
Although Jean Marie cannot restore my health or take away my pain, she did secure my future. I am now able to seek and afford the medical treatment that I need with no worries on how the bills will be paid.
With highest respect, I recommend Jean Marie for any personal injury or medical malpractice situation. I thank Jean Marie and the De Francisco Law firm team for standing with me during this most difficult time. They are truly the finest!

I first consulted with Elina in 2005 for a personal injury claim and found her to be honest and informative. She handled my case with expertise with we came to a favorable outcome. I have since used Elina for a variety of legalities for my business and her expert direction is something I have come to depend on.
It's hard to find an attorney these days who is both sharp and caring. You will find that with Elina's firm. She communicates billing and procedure every step of the way so there are no surprises and she is extremely fair.

My attorney has assisted me on many legal issues including:
Contract negotiations; civil lawsuits both as plaintiff and as defendant; and post divorce resolution matters. She has always been the ultimate professional. She has excellent knowledge and interpersonal skills. Her negotiations skills are superlative. This is why she has been my attorney since 2014. I can always count on her older sound legal advice.

I was referred to Jeff by a family member who is familiar with him and has been for at least two decades. The issue at hand is still in process, and as such I will leave out details except to say that Jeff made himself available immediately and completely, listens very well, asks questions that help round out and complete the scenario in question from all sides, lays out what the likely course of events will be while still being upfront about the fact that there are no guarantees, as well as what is expected if the result is or is not what you hoped for. To date, his communication has been prompt, professional, and very clear as to what he needs from me and what the next step is likely to be. He makes himself available for questions and shows utmost respect for the mental and emotional stress that brings one to an attorney in the first place, especially when you are not the type to have ever considered doing it before! Such an approach also shows complete respect for the time and individual struggles and issues of the client. Jeff has been nothing but professional and expedient, and no matter the outcome of the case I would not hesitate to contact him again.

I got hit with 6 tickets for suspended plates right before my birthday as I was heading out to NYC. In my mind, I thought "This has got to be more than $1500 in tickets!" Anyway, fast forward to my court date, Mr. Panetta went above and beyong and got not one, two or three but ALL of my charges dismissed!! Granted, he only charged me his minimum fee and here I thought I just wasted all my money, but that was not the case at all! I'd recommend Mr. Panetta and his firm any time, any day. Just like he said, "Im an attorney for life" and he meant it. 17 years in business and I hope for another 17 more! Thanks again.

If I could give more than five stars I would, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and it took five years before it went to trail. Ive only known him for about an hour before my trail, and I wish i had hired him sooner, in the court room he had facts and evidence to a Tee. He was able to get me the maximum amount that was allowed for my case, and it really put me at ease, not the money but how he interacts with his clients. This was my first court accident and sitting on the stands i felt so much more at ease. He really cares about his clients and can sympathize with them as well. Most lawyers only car about winning the case and the big check but he actually took his time to go over every piece of my case no matter how small it seemed. He was able to answer every question and never left me in doubt. The minimum amount for my case was $10,000 and he was able to reach the maximum 15 times over. Honestly the only lawyer youll ever need for a personal injury case.

Attorney Peter Thomas was assigned my case for trial in Queens County. I asked about him before I met him and found that he is both respected and feared. Respected as a prepared and experienced litigator and feared by his adversaries as lawyer who gets big money verdicts. While I was pleased to hear such feedback I was not sure if the facts of my case needed a guy like him. Turns out the other lawyer lied to the jury and made ups facts that were not part of my case. I saw Mr. Thomas politely rip into the other attorney and tell the jury to focus on my case. He was riveting to watch during summation. The jury was consulting for 2 days and gave me a great verdict. I was very pleased to have met him and had him as my lawyer. I have a new lawyer now and will always call Mr. Thomas for any legal questions.

After discovering that I had Legionnaire's Disease which I contracted from the Best Western Sovereign Hotel in Albany, which has a history of problems with this disease, I contacted Michael Conway who I knew from newspaper stories was representing several other clients with the same problem. Michael was kind enough to visit me at my home while I was still recovering from the Legionnaire's so I wouldn't have to make the trip down to his office. I had originally contacted another lawyer whom I knew personally but decided to go with Michael because he was already
deeply involved with other Best Western Legionnaire's cases. I always found Michael responsive and he dutifully kept me apprised of the status of my case by sending me all paperwork and staying in touch by phone. He answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. My case was settled by mediation, and thanks to Michael's and his team's efforts, I was remunerated nearly $36,000 in damages from the Best Western. I appreciate all of Michael's hard work and expertise and would heartily recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent personal injury attorney.

Attorney Conway has allowed me and other family members to ask questions, give input, be involved in decisions. His communication is clear, as well as his actions. He is sensitive and well practiced and controls the process and challanges carefully and artfully while not wasting time. You would be under excellent care in the service of Attorney Conway.

Last week my company needed legal advice with an issue that could have easily gotten out of hand. I called the office of Mainetti, Mainetti and O'Connor, and was able to speak right away with Michael about my problem. He listened intently to all my concerns and was able to advise me on the best possible way to handle my situation at hand. Although he said he had never dealt with a situation like this before, I was very pleased with the solution he had presented me and I took his advice. Now after a week since the consoltation and doing what Michael had advised me to do, I know I had made the best decision possible for my company. I had been so stressed trying to decide how to handle my issue so my business would not be affected and hadn't know where to turn. I will continue to use Michael for my legal needs as he is extremely professional, receptive and knowledgeable in his field. I do recommend his services for anyone who, like me, needs great advice and support with problems that couldn't be resolved otherwise. Thanks again Michael.

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.

- 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.

- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
