I had an issue how a revocable trust was formed and was denied a HELOC on the property that was a part of the trust. While the bank did provide the reason for denial, it was not clear as to where the actual issue was. I've called 3 attorneys and they told me that taking the property out of the trust was my only option. Doing that was defeating the purpose as to why the trust was formed in the first place, but it seemed I had no choice. I've decided to call a few more attorneys just to find out what their rates were before deciding which attorney to hire.
When I called Gary, explained what I wanted him to do and asked what his rates were, his response was - "I can certainly help you, but doing this does not make any sense to me." He asked me a good number of questions and in 5 minutes time he figured out the exact problem, explained what had to be done in order to resolve the issue AND keep the property in the trust. Needless to say, I hired Gary and am very happy I did that - the HELOC was approved yesterday and the property is still a part of the trust.
If you need an attorney who will analyze the issue, come up with options and help you pick the one that works best for you - Gary is the attorney to go to, I highly recommend him.

Ben is a great attorney with a big heart. He is very knowledgeable in what he does. He tells you like it is and is an absolute shark when defending you! I had a situation with my homeowner's association where I fell behind on the payments and they were charging me almost double in interest. Well Ben came in and said the right things to them and away went the interest. If it weren't for him I would've had no choice but to pay. He is absolutely awesome!

When time came to set up a trust to hold our coop apartment, friends recommended to us Mr. Melamed as a knowledgeable and efficient attorney. And now we know it's true. Mr. Melamed walked us through the difficulties of understanding the language of legal documents. He had a lot of patience answering our questions and did it in a friendly and professional manner. He made it easier for us to go through some of complications we had and made the process as smooth as possible. We recently closed on trust transfer and Mr. Melamed did a great job for us. So, if somebody needs an Elder Law attorney, we would definitely recommend Gary Melamed.

I woke up one Sunday morning and my life was changed completely! I was a victim of an attacked, so I called 911 for assistance, I ended up being arrested and had a criminal case against me (yes, I know!!). I've contacted countless of attorneys and none of them were as confident, passionate, nor believed in the injustice in my case as Ben Pinczewski did!
From the minute I've retained him, the experienced made me feel secure and confident of the outcome. During court Ben was knowledgeable about the law and challenged the judge and got him to shortened the process. He also wrote an aggressive detailed and persuasive letter to the District Attorney in why he believed that his client was innocent, a victim of a false arrest and would accept nothing less then a full dismissal.
Ben is no push over, when the other side tried different tactics he pushed back! The Judge ended up ruling in my favor and sealed the case liked it never happened.
I don't have any words for all the things that he have done for me but I would highly recommend Ben and his team not only to get the job done but the entire experience in keeping me calm, confident, briefing and emailing me every step of the way.
As the new generation would say " hastag#
MyAttorneyIsBetterThenYours".

I was referred to Mr Melamed by my financial advisor after requesting an attorney contact. What I encountered was a much needed combination of hard, legal knowledge, experience, sympathy, patience, courtesy, humor and graciousness uncommon in today's world. Dealings were by phone, in person and online, which smoothed out my scheduling problems with a frail, failing, sometimes difficult elderly parent - who also approved of Mr. Melamed.

I have worked with a lot of attorneys and have been taken advantage of! Ben is the most compassionate attorney I have ever met! He truly cares, loves the challenge and will get the job done.
I needed help with a business contract in the medical field. He is smart, knows his stuff and resolved my issue!

I hired Ben when I fell on the ice last year twice in front of two different properties who neglected to salt. I had a severe concussion and several medical bills because of this. In under a year, Ben was able to get settlements with both properties without having to go to court. I was thrilled with the result!

Benjamin M Pinczewski is beyond excellent. He's an attorney with heart and principle. He will not take your case if he doesn't think he can help you. His honesty is unmatched..His knowledge of the law and his experience makes him the best at what he does. I am a business woman and I turn to Ben for every legal advice I need. If he can't help me, he points me in the right direction. I will be a client for life. You will not go wrong with Ben.
