Mr. Borenstein and his team excellently handled my case and he was always available. He offered solid advice that helped me quickly resolve and issue with a former client. They will always be my go-to for business law.

This place is a complete Scam! I came here desperate for assistance. I came into the office on 11-18-22 and had a so called “consultation” with Brad Arlen. He listened to my case, asked for a week to review my contract and advised he would get back to me after thanksgiving. And i paid him $150 to basically hear me vent because he gave absolutely no legal advice. I waited to hear back from him but i never received a call. Instead he sent an email but his emails go to spam (go figure). The email said for me to call into the office. I called in for DAYS no answer and when i did finally speak to someone it was a very aggressive defensive and unprofessional front desk lady by the name of Judy. Instead of being helpful she made me feel like i wasn’t a client which how can i be if i haven’t spoken to Brad ? and he won’t communicate with me to know if he would take the case or not. Til this date 1-4-23 i still haven’t heard from Brad Arlen or anyone from this so called “law firm” I feel scammed because i paid money and got NOTHING !!! even if Brad didn’t want to take my case he did not advise me of the next steps or recommend me to another lawyer. Just refused my calls and hid out like a coward. They took my money and then treated me like i was nothing. I will be reporting this to the bar association because lawyers should not be able to take your money and give you no legal advice. Run while you can and go to a professional law firm who won’t ghost you for a measly $150.

Alec helped us though this process with ease....

Although no one ever wants to think about “what if”, with two young children, having a will is an absolute necessity. It's something that needs to be in place, hopefully not to be used for a very long time. My wife and I had meant to do our will for a few years, but we just couldn't find the right person to assist us. After researching several other estate planning attorneys, we put our faith into Mr. Borenstein of Borenstein, McConnell & Calpin, P.C., and we couldn’t be happier with his exceptional service. Mr. Borenstein met us at our home at night, after our children went to bed. He assessed our needs by inquiring about our wishes, our assets, life insurance, etc., and explained all the options. Together, we determined what would be best for us. We had a multitude of questions, all of which were answered thoroughly and in detail. He took the time to make sure that our needs were understood, and he explained each step in preparing the wills. Shortly thereafter, we received and reviewed the draft documents, including living wills, health care proxy, powers of attorney, etc. (documents we didn’t even realize we needed). My wife and I had a few questions about certain details. An associate of Mr. Borenstein, Mr. Guttman, made himself available in the evening for a teleconference in which he guided us and addressed all of our inquiries. We feel very relieved that our estate planning documents are in order. It’s something that we don’t need to worry about, knowing that our children would be cared for by the guardians of our choosing, and would also be protected financially in their best interest. My wife and I highly recommend Mr. Borenstein and his staff for preparing estate documents or for any other legal needs.

I chose Alec's law firm to write my last will and testament. They asked the right questions, assembled the correct data and clearly explained all options. They were prompt, easy to work with, very responsive, pleasant and worked well around my schedule. The result was highly satisfactory. Alec is also a very nice guy and has earned my highest recommendation for legal services.

We worked with Alec when handling our wills, which is a pretty daunting task as you're basically dealing with your own mortality over the course of 25 pages of text, but Alec made the whole thing impressively enjoyable. His colleagues were also extremely helpful and prompt in following up and answering questions, and I have already recommended the firm to family and friends.

Alec was phenomenal to my wife and I. He took the time to walk us through a very stressful decision making process, answering all our questions patiently and precisely. His professionalism was without parallel and his calm, friendly demeanor always was appreciated.
