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 wish I had found her years ago for my original divorce!

Mitchell handled a Collections claim for our family and not only were we satisfied with the outcome, but we were delighted to work with Mitchell. His persistence. professionalism (despite the opposing counsel being rude and unprofessional - Mitchell always took the high road), knowledge, strategical tactics, and intuitiveness were second to none. Our family would contract with Mitchell again in a heartbeat. He is a Mensch in every sense of the word.

Marc Weissman of Cobert, Haber & Haber has been wonderful! My husband died in 21 and left us with a mess! Marc has been a. professional, b. kind, c. unbelievably reasonable with fees, d. gone above and beyond a lawyer's responsibilities! My husband had a coop in Brooklyn and the coop board has been impossible! Marc worked with their lawyers and the buyer's lawyers to get the apartment sold. I know the sale would not have happened without his involvement. I highly recommend Marc Weissman!

I have had the privilege of working with Jay Raxenberg for years, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional attorney who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. From the start, Jay has been more than just legal counsel—he’s been a trusted advocate who genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcomes.
Jay's expertise and dedication to his craft are unmatched. He takes immense pride in his work and consistently delivers exceptional results. What sets him apart is not just his knowledge of the law but the personal attention he gives to each case, and I've had many! He takes the time to explain the process clearly, ensuring that I feel informed and supported every step of the way.
What makes Jay truly unique is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He doesn’t just settle for “good enough”—he fights for what’s right with integrity and persistence. His personable nature and ability to make even the most challenging situations feel manageable have been a tremendous source of comfort over the years.
His combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care is a rare find. I highly recommend Jay Raxenberg to anyone in need of a great attorney who will not only represent you with excellence but also make you feel like your case truly matters.
Jay I can never thank you enough for everything you've done for me. - Andy

My husband and I were recommended to Mark Alter and we were so glad we proceeded to retain him. Mark kept thorough communication throughout the process, no matter what time of the day. He helped explain and interpret each step which really helped us get through a stressful event in our lives. Along with his immense amount of experience, I always felt he had our best interest at heart. We would definitely recommend him to a friend or a family member.

Our family sought out Russo Law Group to assist us with elder law/estate planning for my mother. We worked directly with Katie Ann Trotta, Esq who was so helpful and informative and really made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us toward the best plan for my mother. Katie Ann is also readily available to answer any questions we have. I would definitely recommend the Russo Law Group and Katie Ann Trotta, Esq. to anyone looking for an attorney to assist with elder law/estate planning.

If you're searching for an attorney, you must consider one's experience, temperament, personality, responsiveness, and legal finesse in dealing with "divorce" especially when children are at stake causing an embattlement the likes of which the movie Kramer vs. Kramer looks like a Disney movie. Tony and I never went to trial, but fully prepared for it up to the day of trial. His responsiveness is uncanny. He does not raise his voice, is not aggressive, but when arguing points, he will back his opponent into a corner with untenable arguments. He responds to emails almost immediately. He knows the law. We dealt with the opposition consistently lying, as did my Ex, about all matters and were prepared to expose the truth at trial. Go for a consult. Its a no brainer to higher such a qualified, personable, and knowledgeable lawyer who is a regular guy. His office staff were also friendly, competent, and compassionate. He will also make you aware of all strategies, and the costs for applying each. After, forensics, law guardians, parenting coordinators, full trial prep, I'm satisfied with the outcome as much as one can be. I was ready to see this through to the very end, and did, with a competent attorney in Tony beside me.

Eiber Translations has provided interpreting services to Lewis Bartell, Esq. for over 10 years through L'Abbate Balkan Colavita & Contini, Esqs. and more recently as a partner at Kaplan, Belsky & Ross, LLP. Our interpreters have commented about Mr. Bartell's extensive knowledge in complex personal injury litigations, malpractice litigation, estate and trust litigation, tax planning, guardianship proceedings, matrimonials as well as real estate matters, providing individuals as well as large corporate clients, the attention necessary to win their case. Mr. Bartell has been relentless in providing his non-English speaking clients all the preparation needed prior to testifying at depositions and trials and he has shown linguistically-aware leadership to all language service providers. We highly recommend Mr. Bartell to anyone seeking a top attorney who will fight for their case.

Matthew was knowledgeable, accountable and responsive throughout the eviction process: it was comforting to know we had an advocate on our side during a stressful time in our lives, especially since this was our second attorney working on the same case.

update: My insurance paid for the attorney's time (you are making it seem like it was a free consultation) for this services. I paid my insurance with my money. Yes, indeed, this is not a free service but a paid consultation. It seems the attorney hung up on me rather than the call being disconnected because I called back, emailed, and texted the office afterward, but nobody responded, apologized, or at least returned my call. His last words before the call ended—or was disconnected, based on his own words—were that "his time is valuable." Such an unprofessional and stuck-up attitude. I was never informed beforehand that I only had 45 minutes to talk.
I believe I talked to Ron Cook. We had an appointment at 4 PM today, and while he was helpful in sending the information, he seemed annoyed when I asked questions. He expects me to read everything on my own and doesn’t want to provide further explanations when I asked him to give me a simple breakdown of how things work again because I was a little confused, and he did not want to provide all the information. He is getting payed to explain things, not to dismiss our concerns. He even mentioned that his time is valuable, but isn’t that exactly why he is getting paid—for his time and expertise? By the end of the conversation he hung up the phone, it felt unprofessional.
This experience reinforces my decision to go to law school. There’s clearly an opportunity in the market for professionals who know how to communicate effectively and treat clients with respect, no matter where they come from or what questions they ask. So far, 7 out of 10 attorneys seem to be quite stuck-up simply for having a JD and whatever piece of paper they get from the government. similar to medical doctors.

Of all the lawyers I’ve dealt with in my life Neil Flynn at Horn Wright, LLP is the only one who took the time to listen to everything I had to say and answer all my questions before even discussing how he would be paid. Once we laid the foundation for our attorney-client relationship, he gave me several options including a straight contingency fee, a retainer/hourly rate fee structure or a hybrid of the two. His bills were always reasonable and when I questioned something he made sure to discuss it with me in person until I was satisfied. Most importantly, he did a fantastic job representing me and my small business when we needed a civil litigation attorney. I would absolutely recommend Neil and his firm Horn Wright, LLP to my friends and family.

Nothing but great things to say about Restivo & Murphy, and in particular Joe Parisi! From the moment we sat down, I knew I was in good hands.

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:

- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.

To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:

- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
