My family and extended family have engaged Greg Martin on several occasions for all of our family law needs. I recommend Greg to all of my family and friends on a regular basis. That is mainly because, Greg is a professional and has wonderful people skills. We have hired Greg during times when we feel most vulnerable and emotional. Greg always finds a way to calm our nerves and to make us feel confident in the process and his expertise to help us find a resolution. And, Greg has never failed us.
I recommend Greg to you when you need a smart and sharp professional but also want to feel like you are really heard and cared for within the law.

I've know Greg for 20 years or so. First as a fellow volunteer for a local crisis center then as an attorney helping me in my business as a real estate broker. I've found he deals fairly and is knows his stuff. I mention his name often when I know someone needs the service he provides.

While searching for an attorney to represent me in my recent divorce I was looking for someone I could trust – as I knew nothing about the process. Scott is not only trustworthy but he also treated me with respect, kindness and patience throughout the entire process. He is very much a problem-solver and his calm demeanor and extensive mediation background helped to minimize conflict, thus saving both parties time, unnecessary anxiety and money. Scott is extremely knowledgeable about the law, he listened to understand me, he educated me and he communicated very well. I especially appreciated that he took the time to understand my children and their specific needs – in several negotiations it proved very beneficial and in the end it gave me and my children a much better outcome. Scott is very kind and empathetic and he has a genuine interest in helping people. I recommend him without hesitation.

Scott is hands down the best. I am so grateful he was recommended by a close relative. He responds on a dime and is supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and professional. He went above and beyond to help guide me through each and every step, and streamlined the entire process-a truly compassionate lawyer!

Scott W. Orr, Esq. recently represented me in the settlement of my divorce from which I was married 21 years. Scot was a knowledgeable, caring professional who was easy to work with. He keep the process moving forward while patiently answering all my questions. He laid out the process ahead of time so I knew exactly what to expect. I would recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I met with Ryan to evaluate and update the Living Trust we executed years ago with an on-line service. We are very glad we did! Ryan was able to quickly summarize the changes we needed to make and suggested additional steps we should take to finalize our estate plan. From beginning to end, Ryan is highly professional and trustworthy. No gimmicks, pressure or uncomfortableness. Highly recommend!

One fact that people should realize about internet reviews is that they are not always accurate, can be misleading and unfairly critical, especially the negative ones. In family law, cases can be challenging and complex. As a client of Jim Keil for an extended period of time involving a contentious and complex case I hope my perspective of Jim Keil as an attorney may be helpful for others.
As a client you need an attorney with attributes of integrity and honesty, as well as an individual that is hard working, well prepared, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. As my attorney, I have found Jim Keil to be all of those things and more. Jim’s understanding to the approach to your legal case is derived by his wealth of experience and brilliant understanding of the law. All of these important factors in my case have been demonstrated especially during trial.
The best analogy of Jim Keil I can give as an attorney relates to college football. Jim is the Alabama Crimson Tide of family law. His success to win a case is not by taking for granted his talent or being complacent by previous wins. His success is achieved by all the hard work and preparation he puts forth toward each case. An opposing counsel would have to bring their “A” game each and every time if they wish to compete with Jim Keil.

Jim Keil has been in this business a long time and knows his stuff. My divorce case was contentious and my wife had very aggressive lawyers. I am a successful professional and an easy target. Jim knows when where to push in negotiations and saved my financial future from vicious attacks! Jim also cares about his billing habits. Some firms are interested in billing as many hours as they can. Jim is careful and prudent with his billing. I would wager that my total attorney cost was half what some other firms would charge. I was referred to Jim through friends and am glad I took their advice. One friend said, "When it comes to divorce, you have to pay for the best and forget the rest!" I'm glad I listened.

Jim has been representing me since January 2013, after I began my divorce
case with two attorneys who were ill-equipped to handle an ex-husband like
mine. He stepped in and quickly took control of a very complicated divorce.
In his 31 years of practice, Jim told me he has never known a more
vindictive ex-husband than mine. Although my ex has filed countless
extensive motions, Jim has won every important motion in my divorce case.
He is extremely thorough and very well-spoken in the courtroom, was superb
in cross-examining my ex-husband, and prepared me very well for the witness
stand. .
He is extremely knowledgeable in divorce law, very trustworthy and guided me
in how to move forward as quickly as possible in my divorce.
He is well-known at the Jefferson County Courthouse, as well. I am most
grateful for his expertise in all the court battles he has won for me. I
wouldn't hesitate for a minute to highly recommend Jim to you. You won't be
disappointed and you would never want him on the other side of the courtroom
representing your ex.

Bonnie came into a difficult situation that I was in, and she turned it into a much more positive, workable family situation. I would easily use her services again if necessary. Also, she handles everything as professionally as possible. I owe her a lot. I highly recommend Bonnie for any family law situation where you need legal counsel.

I used Martinez Law firm to complete a modification to my divorce decree. As you can imagine anything that involves children is incredibly emotional. With prior firms every time I discussed my case with my lawyer it was like groundhogs day. I would have to bring them back up to speed. With Bonnie she never had to be told anything twice. I can't begin to tell you how ensuring that alone was. We got the case settled in a manner that the girls got to have their input. What a win!

Rachel Rolfs is the very best lawyer that I could have hoped for. She is attentive, direct and intuitive. Rachel does not waste time, kept me well informed and involved through a very difficult time. She will be highly recommended by me to anyone who needs a fierce attorney.

After meeting with Rachel one time I knew she was exactly who I was looking for to represent me in a collaborative divorce (already in progress). She is smart, frank and had a unique blend of mediation, litigation and collaborative law experience. Rachel quickly got up to speed and sustained momentum until the end. She was available in person, phone or email keeping me informed and was always prompt to reply.
Rachel is an expert at keeping things on track without making me feel rushed to make decisions. She could decipher what I was trying to say and assured me that there were no stupid questions. Divorce is an emotional experience which Rachel deftly handled. She didn’t spin me up or minimize my feelings but rather redirected me to stay focused and moving forward.
I truly appreciate Rachel and highly recommend her and her team.

Rachel helped me fix a messy custody (dis)agreement, made more complex by being a military family with both parties residing out of state. I sincerely wish I had utilized her during my actual divorce, and saved some of the headaches my previous counsel didn't consider.
She communicated clearly and consistently with me while I was overseas, and helped address areas I hadn't considered as potential conflicts. She put in long hours during mediation sessions with my Ex, assisting me with the best possible outcome without going to trial.
10/10, I highly recommend.

There is not enough review space available for me to praise Mary Louise. She is an amazing person and incredible attorney. The fate of our family was in her hands and ultimately, we could not be happier with the outcome. She immediately immersed herself into our narrative. She was highly attentive and detail-oriented. It is worth mentioning separately that Mary Louise is very, very sharp-witted. This is not something one learns but it is innate. She is intuitive when it comes to reading others and their intentions. She was thoughtful in every decision and methodical in her approach. She worked tirelessly to address all downstream possibilities in a preemptive fashion. She was exceedingly responsive and efficient with time. She kept me updated on all movements of the case the moment shifts would occur. She is genuine and has a heart for those involved. She listens late at night. Most importantly, Mary Louise has the highest moral/ethical standards. I never had to wonder if our path was in the right. She handled our case with class, professionalism, energy, empathy and commitment. Mary Louise is the representation you want navigating through the most difficult of times. One would be remiss to look any further. She is the very best.

Mary Louise is a fantastic divorce attorney that guided me from start to finish through the most difficult experience of my life. From the moment I met her at the initial consultation, I felt her compassion and professionalism. She guided me efficiently and confidently to an amazing outcome for my entire family. The process was highly collaborative, leveraging her deep legal expertise and my insight to formulate an effective approach. I was amazed by her attention to detail, preparation and execution during the deposition and mediation. Mary Louise was able to quickly recall the detailed background I initially provided to effectively navigate issues and reach closure. She efficiently processed new information throughout the entire divorce process and offered insightful recommendations to the decisions I faced. I always felt safe and powerful in her company during the times when there was conflict.
Having someone like Mary Louise by your side through a divorce process is priceless. She is a unique lawyer - someone with deep legal acumen and an understanding of relationships and family dynamics. I admire her spirit, ethics and professionalism to reach an outcome that was in the best interests of my children and me. The best in the business - highly recommended!

Mary Louise Phelps surpassed any expectations I had for my divorce attorney. Going through the proceedings was a very scary ordeal for me being that it involved money, businesses, and most importantly my two children. I was very nervous about being in the wrong hands. She by far did not disappoint though! I knew after my first meeting with her that it was going to be the right fit. She was there for me any time of the day, and truly had mine and my kids best interest at heart. Mary Louise is an incredibly organized person which was crucial for such a complex divorce such as mine. She was ALWAYS prepared for court, was two steps ahead on everything, and was ready for the unexpected at any time. She is very knowledgeable on the law and helped walk me through each step of the proceedings. From mediation to court, she always came overly prepared. She has a heart of gold but also the bravado in court that demands respect. Her ethics & morals are top notch which was something I highly desired from my legal counsel. My divorce was now final over a year ago - and she still keeps in frequent contact with us. She checks in on us and is always rooting for me and my life. I would highly recommend Mary Louise Phelps to anyone who is looking for an attorney that will take your case seriously and will fight for what is right!

I highly recommend the legal services of Steve Plaisted. He is highly knowledgeable about Maryland estate planning law. I used his services to write a trust, wills and POAs in order to get things in order for my husband and me as we rapidly approach our senior years. I have also had the opportunity to know him over many years (as my neighbor) and can say he is truly a person of strong moral character. He is sincere and easy to work with. Steve operates with integrity, dedication and is very thorough. I felt we were in very good hands under his legal guidance,

Before finding an attorney, I spent a good deal of time researching my options. Steve exceeded my expectations. To be clear, Steve has a Christian focus but I went with Steve because of his absolute command of the law and the process. He is remarkably good at what he does and I would trust Steve with any dispute I am confronting. Steve is also very practical and will listen to your concerns and develop a plan that takes your concerns into consideration. Steve is absolutely fantastic.

Today I would like to honor a special man, Steve Plaisted, who has been a good friend for over 20 years. Out of our friendship, we developed a client-attorney relationship that served me so well in my greatest time of need.

Tom represented me in a contract dispute with a former employer. From the day he started working on my case, he guided me through the process and prepared me for each stage. As this was a very stressful situation for me, Tom's ongoing reassurance and support made it much easier.
He was extremely thorough in understanding the entire situation to determine the best strategy and the first thing he did was invalidate their claim that I violated my non-compete clause. After that, we tried mediation, but they were unwilling to move an inch. Ultimately, the case went to arbitration and the judge found in favor of me on every point...including fees and expenses.
Tom built a very good case by doing his research, making sure we had the right witnesses, discrediting the opposing witnesses and being more prepared than the other guy. I remember one of the first things Tom told me is he would never lose because the other guy worked harder or was more prepared. He proved that to me.
Tom demonstrated what a trusted advisor can be...he really did care about me and my family and worked hard to take care of us. I would gladly hire him again if the need arose.

Thomas Richelo was very competent and caring in my lawsuit against a former employer for pension benefits. He had experience in litigation of similar matters involving my employer's affiliate. He was extremely conscientious in pursuing every avenue and preparing for court. He steered my lawsuit through a long discovery phase and was firm and relentless in his interrogation of the defendants. I always felt that he was a passionate advocate and succeeded in obtaining a just settlement through mediation. I believe that he truly cared about me and my rights.

I had a very intricate legal situation, and Clyde Zamir from Family Law Group provided outstanding support. His explanations were clear, he kept his promises, and went above and beyond by working after hours one several occasions! Clyde ensured I understood every detail, offering trustworthy guidance throughout the process by making calls, sending emails, and offering overall guidance/support. Kudos to April and Kenah for their prompt responses to my emails and phone calls no matter what the issue was, making me feel like Family Law Group was more than just a name—they treated me like family.

I am a Father and my daughter wanted to live with me and attend school closer to my home (I wanted to enroll her into private school) so that would mean I would need to become the primary parent of residence. I thought it would be impossible to get that changed because I also have a career as a firefighter so my work schedule rotates and its 24 hour shifts. I contacted Robyn and she was upfront and honest provided me with possible outcomes.
Robyn was outstanding! She had to do the work of two attorneys because the defendants’ attorney would not submit paperwork to the court in a timely manner and that would’ve slowed the process. The case went to trial and having the experienced attorney really showed! I am now the primary parent of residence my daughter and I couldn’t be happier. She always answered my calls, emails and was on time. Both parents were found to be fit by the judge yet a change of custody was still granted in my favor.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Anton took on my case mid stream after I replaced my first attorney for poor performance when most others would have not giving the complexity of my case. He also was up against a very uncooperative and devious other side. Anton knows trust real estate law very well.

I was recently divorced using another attorney in the area. I was in a 16 year marriage attached to the military. I was allotted a percentage of the retirement per the Final Agreement. When I attempted to start that process with DFAS, I was quickly notified that my Order was written incorrectly and needed to be modified and signed by a Judge. I wasn’t sure what to do so I reached out to Mr. Dejesus’ office. He was quick to respond and was able to help me. He was very knowledgeable in regards to how the modification was to be written and made the changes. He and his staff stayed in communications with me while waiting for the other parties to comply. I was on a time restraint to get the corrections per DFAS and even though that time had expired, to no fault of ours, Mr. Dejesus was reassuring that everything was an easy fix and they would honor the modification. He was right. Through his persistent follow ups with the other parties, I got my modification and was able to submit it with no problems. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dejesus. He is attentive to his clients and knows his job. You just have to trust him.

Ann successfully handled my collaborative divorce this year. She demonstrated a thorough knowledge and understanding of the issues involved and was skillful in explaining concepts to a layman with little experience in this area. She kept me regularly informed regarding all the developments in my case and was an excellent advocate for me when I was unable to be one for myself. It was clear the other professionals involved in the case enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a collaborative attorney and will absolutely use her again.

Simply put, Megan and Your Contract Shop saved my (and my family's) financial future.
As first-time business owners, from our initial consultation with Megan, we knew we were in the best hands. Her expertise is only rivaled by her authenticity and care for her clients. She's 100% reliable and her commitment to making sure our interests were protected were simply put...amazing.
I think the thing we most admire about Megan however is how she takes her time to educate her clients. Megan uses practical language, real-life terms, and takes her time to ensure everyone is on the same pace. Never did we feel rushed - we always felt protected and guided in making the right decisions.
Thank you for everything, Megan - you have clients for life and we won't soon forget everything you've done for this little "mom & pop" shop!

Since relatively few co-op buildings that fall within HDFC guidelines, I definitely wanted a lawyer who understood the program and its special regulations. After the initial, larger firm that I retained failed to make any progress with my HDFC case over a year, I retained Jennings's firm. My first lawyer--who has been interviewed by local news outlets for his HDFC expertise and listed as an NYC co-op specialist--had jeopardized my case with his negligence (my retainer was refunded). As a result, I faced a pending, time-sensitive notice without legal representation. Furthermore, as my case was not straightforward and required investigation, I found many lawyers could not estimate my case's potential cost or length. Walter Jennings and his daughter Elizabeth (who is also an attorney with his firm) were amazing. Serving as an intermediary between various third parties, they made more progress in one month than my initial attorney had been in a year. Ultimately, and due to Jennings's hard work, a court ruled in my favor. With a full-time Office Manager, the firm has always been receptive to my inquiries whether by phone or email. Moreover, they proactively updated me on case activities in contrast to my previous experiences with lawyers who I had to track down. Walter and Elizabeth had this knowledge, and I highly recommend their services to any potential client.

Sarah Dill exudes persistence, poised advocacy, collective resolve and astute attention to detail in the midst of competing interests. She calmly exhibits her wealth of knowledge for her various subjects fields while maintaining a focus on the client's position. She explains legal concepts cohesively and rationally for anyone to understand. As my former law school classmate and as my title attorney representative who sold my parent's home, I could not have asked for a better attorney than Sarah. I put my trust in her to complete my parent's home closing after 40 years under their care, and if I can do that, anyone should be willing to give her a chance at representing them! I would give 1000 stars if I could. Thank you Sarah.

Brent helped me with an accident that I was part of in 2015. It took 3 years to get resolved but well worth the time. Brent is very knowledgeable and I could not have picked a better attorney to hire. My attorney won our case without having to go to court. He was sure of our case to the very end and always kept me well informed along the way. A true blessing for me!!

Mr. Portigliatti is taking my case to trial this week. I am so appreciative that he believed in my case and has taken the time to listen and appreciate all the hurt and harm I suffered in this crash. The insurance company has denied everything for 5 yrs. No matter what happens at trial, I am fortunate to find Mr. Portigliatti.

We have used josh for selling and buying houses. He is 110% the best RE attorney I never seen. Lots of my friend says RE attorney don’t do anything, I told them that they didn’t get lucky to find a good one. Good attorney could make deals but bad one destroys all relationships. Josh is very punctual，detail oriented and knowledgeable. Looking no more, he is the best.

I cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty and his firm for Long Island real estate transactions. I am myself a lawyer, but do not handle real estate transactions. I was looking for experienced real estate counsel to handle the simultaneous sale of and purchase of residential real estate, a stressful situation that's like trying to thread a needle, with a lot of potential pitfalls. Josh came recommended from a colleague and I'm very glad we found him to advise us in the process.
From our very first phone call through closing on our second transaction, Josh was simply outstanding. He is extremely knowledgable, thorough and highly responsive. We encountered several unanticipated issues throughout the process that could have been disastrous, but with Josh's expert counsel, they ended up just being speed bumps in the rear view mirror on the way to our final destination.
I truly cannot more highly recommend Josh Bogaty for Long Island real estate transactions and would not hesitate to send my own clients or family members to him.

Mr. Bogaty assisted with our first home purchase and was truly helpful. He explained every aspect of our deal and fought to make sure we had the most favorable terms. He is very through, efficient and well organized. JOSH DOES NOT BS, and tells you how it is while helping you navigate. In the cutthroat RE market of NYC, having Josh, and his team, on our side made gave us a huge advantage. Until Josh retires I'll continue to recommend him to anyone dealing in real estate.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
- Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
- Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.
Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.
Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
