Years ago this man charged me and my mother 1000 dollars for a 10 minute consultation to tell us he needed 50,000 to take my mom as a client and told her to unbury the money she stole from the government . Even after we told him while my mother cried that she did not have this money that they were accusing her of Stealing in a white collar case . The lack of sympathy for my mom who is now deported haunts me And should haunt him good life niel Ruskin .

Mr Singer exceeded all of my expectations as a client. I was particularly impressed with his response time to questions and thoroughness in following through with necessary steps and procedures. He proved to be knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected within the legal circles of WNY. I give myunqualified endorsement for Mr Singer serving myself or any other clients in the future. Contacting Mr Singer with my legal needs was the best decision I could’ve made; it led to a positive and ideal outcome for my situation. Thank you, Mr Singer.

This lawyer works hard for his /her clients in the goal of winning the case. He doesn't put money first like other lawyers I met before .His cost is negotiable and affordable. Helped to win my CPS case and early Probation release. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with some cases to reachout to him before contacting with others .

Facing criminal charges can get pretty overwhelming.
What you need is a skilled, experienced and knowledgeable attorney. Julie goes above that because she's talented as well.
I can go on and on and write poetry about how outstanding this angel on earth truly is.
Give her a call and see for yourself and then make the wise decision in retaining her.

Mr Brill is highly professional, empathetic, fast resolving case attorney that meets your needs . I was very satisfied with his service in a time when I most needed it he was comforting, assuring and eased my concerns on the process of my legal battles. He's very informative and kept me up to date on the progress I highly recommend and trust his expertise. Even after years of having used his services he was willing to help me out recently on obtaining some court documents I needed since I'm now out of state he agreed without hesitation when I go back to visit New York I'll be stopping by to thank him personally.

I don’t know where I’d be without Gordon Law, P.C. They saved me during one of the hardest times of my life. My divorce was messy, and I was scared I’d lose everything. But Steven fought for me like no one else could. He was relentless in court and made sure I got what I deserved. It wasn’t just about winning—it was about making sure I was okay. I’ll never forget how hard they worked for me. If you need a lawyer who truly cares, this is the place to go.

I recently found myself facing a DUI charge and was feeling completely lost. John Loturco was recommended to me, and I'm so grateful for that referral. From our very first meeting, he put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, advised me on the best course of action, and was always willing tomake time to answer my questions and address my concerns. John worked on my case thoroughly and negotiated fair terms for my trial. He made sure I understood every step of the process and what to expect. I highly recommend John Loturco to anyone needing legal representation. He's a skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients

I hired Mr. Loturco when I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor assault earlier this year. I had gotten into a fight at a hockey game with a man and he had decided to press chargers. He sustained injuries and I was facing 3 years probation along with payment of medical bills. Mr. Loturco assured me he would do everything he could to pursue the best possible outcome. After multiple court dates and a long trial, he got me the best possible outcome. I was found not guilty.
Mr. LoTurco’s incredible hard work and dedication to his craft made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He updated me frequently on the status of my case and always kept me in the loop. He is extremely compassionate and genuinely cares about his clients.
I am extremely happy with everything that Mr. LoTurco did for me and am so glad I chose him as my lawyer to get me through this difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. LoTurco to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I found myself in the most difficult situation of my life, and John came to my rescue. He was direct, honest, supportive, and incredibly competent. He shared with me exactly how the process would go, and he was correct at every step. He was a calming influence despite the difficult situation I hadput myself in.
John got the best possible outcome for me from a legal perspective, and he did so with incredible empathy and compassion.
I will never forgot the first time I met John. He told me that as dark as things looked, it might be the best possible thing to happen to me for my life going forward. He was correct.

Mina is a fantastic real estate lawyer that I highly recommend to anyone even thinking of buying a condo in NYC. She was very thorough, quick, and walked me through every step of the way. Buying a condo in NYC is pretty complicated compared to other places so having her guide me through was phenomenal. She dug into records and documents that helped us get all the key details and information on the building and property that made me feel confident on the purchase.

George is a very dedicating that will do all his best to put you at the most favor condition as possible. When I had a couple of condition give in probation rules. There are couple of rules that he would like to get rid of for my sake as he knows I would be reliable to do no such things harmful. This was my first time getting into this area of criminal. My head was expecting nothing. I'm totally clueless about myself, what do I do, what I have to do or what do i need to do. For all my life I have been living good, I never thought I would be in such scenario like I did today. Thanks to George, he really takes your times to give you a lot of insight and did his best make the best result out of your case. He is very patience and communicate. I would strongly recommend to have him help your case. 100% for sure he will do all the best he can to make sure you are in a good place. I'm very grateful that he is my attorney and help me in my case. Thank you very much for being my lawyer.

Thank God for Mr. Wagner ! My husband and I, could not have made a better choice when hiring him to diligently and efficiently handle our case. He was able to avidly push for a major decrease in our wait time for an adjournment (twice), and get our case completely dismissed in the matter of days. He also has excellent communication skills and we cannot thank him enough for that. He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my husband's behalf and was considerate and empathetic of the conflict of time we had on our hands. He definitely calmed my anxieties and reassured us throughout the whole process. Everything turned out even better than expected. We will definitely be recommending him and his firm if the opportunity arises.
Warmest Regards,
Deborah

I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough. From the very first consultation, he displayed a level of expertise, compassion, and professionalism that set him apart. Navigating the complexities of a divorce can be overwhelming, but Daniel made the process manageable and even empowering.
His ability to clearly explain every step, answer all my questions with patience, and craft a strategy tailored to my unique situation was invaluable. Daniel is not only a skilled attorney but also a great listener who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. He balanced assertiveness in negotiations with a respectful, solution-oriented approach, which led to a fair and amicable resolution for everyone involved.
If you are looking for a divorce lawyer who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome, Daniel is the one to trust.

Bob is leagues above the other lawyers I have hired. He is invested in achieving good outcomes for his clients regardless of the circumstance. There were times when Bob could have steered me to spend more money with him that would have been wasteful, but he kept me on track to conclude the case in the most efficient manner possible. He is very trustworthy, he is very knowledgable, he clearly has an extensive network at the court, and works hard. If I need criminal defense again, I'll turn to Bob.

Ross Kofman responded to my online request for a criminal defense lawyer first and gave me immediate relief when I explained my situation to him. He told me most of the charges were bogus and would easily be dropped. Fortunately after 3 months of being in limbo, going to court dates once a month merely to hear the judge say, I see you've been making your check in appointments, good, come back next month, the case never went to trial and I was informed today that the charges are being dropped at my next court date. Lawyers are not cheap and not so easy to get on the phone after you hire them because sometimes their days are packed as they are always in court, but don't let that put you off from hiring these guys. They got me waived of quite a few bogus felony charges. They do their jobs well. I originally spoke to Ross and thought he would be my lawyer but Brad Leventhal showed up at my first court date and he did an excellent job with the proceedings, encouraging me assuring me that this would pass and it would be okay. These guys were half the price of the original lawyer I went to who wanted 20,000 upfront to cover the whole pretrial and trial. Thosev other guys told me it would be over by Christmas, for that exorbitant fee. Fortunately I went with these guys and only paid 10,000 because there was no trial and here we are right before Christmas getting dismissed. So relieved. Thank you guys. They saved my life any my wallet!! Five Stars!
