I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney James Wagman to fight a speeding ticket, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, Mr. Wagman was professional, attentive, and genuinely concerned about my case. He took the time to explain the entire process to me, ensuring I was informed and comfortable every step of the way.
His expertise and knowledge of traffic law were evident, and he skillfully navigated the legal system on my behalf. Thanks to his efforts, my ticket was significantly reduced, which saved me from hefty fines and points on my license. I highly recommend Attorney James Wagman to anyone in need of legal assistance with traffic violations. His dedication and professionalism truly make him stand out.

We came to Haas & Zaltz upon a recommendation to get educated on estate planning. We found Ari Zaltz to very knowledgeable as well as patient and happy to explain anything we needed extra help understanding. We made a follow-up appointment and found his associate equally knowledgeable. We never felt rushed and felt confident we were getting good advice. Their staff is very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We are extremely pleased with our experience.

Words can’t express our gratitude for the great work by the entire staff at this office. Our family experienced a major crisis and reached out to this office.

This is the first time I’ve dealt with the McBride Law Group and it was through a referral from my realtor. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised and somewhat relieved at how easy it was dealing with Corinne, particularly given that, as a non-New Yorker, I was fearful of a more New York, ivory-tower style attorney. I’m grateful to Corinne for the high level of her service and “value for the fee”!

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.

There is no way for me to express how grateful I am for Ms. Sanderson’s help and service. She is truly a gift sent from god, she truly cares and will go out of her to take care of her clients and stand by your side. People like her are what give me faith in the American justice system because you can always count on her to do her best by you. She saved my life and I owe my second chance at life to her. If I can give her 10 stars I would, if you’re looking for council that you can trust to have your best Interest at heart, Ms. Sanderson is who I would recommend.

I have known Michael for over 20 years. He has always been a man of his word and has always gone out of his way to help people, especially those in need of help.
Additionally, Michael is an absolutely phenomenal attorney and has handled multiple cases for myself, as well as my friends and family. Anyone I speak to who mentions that they need an attorney I always refer to Michael because I know he will stop at nothing to do the best job possible for his clients. Michael has an unwavering sense of ethics as well as a natural inclination to help people. I can attest that myself, my family, and my friends not only feel comfortable working with Michael and his colleagues, but always look forward to working with them as well.

By far the best in the business! Cheryl and her amazing staff helped me both physically and mentally handle the closing of my childhood home after my parents passed away suddenly. My husband and I used Cheryl when we bought our house eight years ago and when the time came that I needed to sell my parents home, I knew I needed to return to Cheryl. Her professionalism, compassion, and all around personal well being not only made me to feel comfortable selling the house, but also knowing everything was handled with care. Cannot recommend this firm enough!

Irene helped us with the joint purchase of two adjoining co-op apartments in Brooklyn recently for us and our son. We chose her based on our internet search for real estate lawyers in the area, as all her reviews were uniformly excellent. And we wholeheartedly concur. Beyond just being super-efficient throughout in helping us navigate clunky big bank loan department bureaucracies and paperwork, she went out of her way to calmly help us with our own last minute fund transfer emergencies on the closing date itself to ensure a smooth process. We would absolutely go to her for future needs and recommend her in the strongest of terms.

Irene was incredible to work with! As first time home buyers there was a lot going on. Irene made it all as seamless as possible for us, and at a great value. I felt comfortable having her on our side from the beginning all the way to close as she is very transparent and on top of things. She is also super responsive and easily accessible for any questions or issues that arise. I would recommend her for any legal services she offers, you will not be disappointed!
Because of her we now own a new home and very grateful for all the work she did to get us there.

As a first time home buyer, the process of purchasing a coop was daunting and stressful. We encountered many different obstacles throughout the process, but Irene was there to help guide us the entire way with her expertise and impeccable communication. In the months long process, there was never a phone call or email that went unanswered. If you are in need of a real estate attorney, I truly cannot recommend The Stein Law Firm enough!

Yale is the definition of PHENOMENAL. He got my husband’s lawsuit against his old boss taken care of swiftly and efficiently. He is a great communicator, if you have any questions he is always ready to answer. You usually don’t hope to sue someone again but if I ever needed an employment lawyer ever again he’s the one I’m coming to. You can trust him with your peace of mind. Thank you for doing what you do Yale and for teaching these scum bag bosses who’s really boss…the employees!

My wife and I realized that establishing our Wills was an overdue task. We contacted several local attorneys and were surprised that many did not even respond! Anne Letterio replied promptly and cheerfully answered our questions about the process and the cost. Her knowledge and advice gave us guidance on what can be a stressful undertaking!
At her office, everything was well-organized, clearly explained and handled pleasantly with a minimum of fuss. We certainly feel comfortable recommending Anne and her staff to any in need of estate planning related legal services.
For the record, don't let my last name fool you! I checked, and it turns out I am not related to Anne Letterio's law partner.

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:

Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -

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?

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. -
