Reviews

I worked with Andrea Friedman who is one of the most Professional, Intelligent and Responsive attorneys I have ever met. She guided me through a difficult process with unparalleled understanding and expertise. I would strongly recommend her and her firm to anyone in need of an excellent divorce attorney as well as her firm.

Though I have commented here before, I am compelled to provide a further raving review for Mr. Epstein and his paralegal, Suzanne. They are so intimately familiar with every detail of their craft, that they were aware of an arcane rule permitting for a full license restoration well in advance of a court-mandated 6-month suspension. Even the supervisor at the DMV was unaware of this rule, but after several phone calls to the DMV headquarters by Mr. Epstein directly, the DMV supervisor finally agreed with his position and granted the full license restoration four months earlier than anticipated! I can assure you, no other lawyer would have been aware of this rule, which would have only served as a further detriment and limitation to myself for many more months. The value of the expertise maintained by this law firm (and this attorney in particular) is second to none and well-worth every penny. You really do get what you pay for, and your freedom is truly priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation.

A family friend referred Tom Elliot to me from Joseph Law Group and from our first consultation I knew I was in the right hands. I was looking for an attorney that would listen to my concerns, keep me informed, fully explain everything to me, and be responsive to my emails and calls. My ex and I wanted to "separate with honor" and do all we could to treat each other fairly - which isn't the norm. Tom knew that this was important to me and handled everything in a calm respectful manner. He made sure I understood every detail and handled everything with professionalism and integrity. Thank you, Tom!

I would highly recommend the Joseph Law Group. My attorney, John Whiteman, was very understanding of my situation and did everything to ensure I was well informed of the process and satisfied along the way. He always listened to my concerns and took the appropriate action. I really appreciated him being so open and honest. He was also very thorough and made sure nothing was missed. While everyone knows attorneys can be expensive, John explained what they do to try to save costs. To that point, he communicated with me, when necessary, but didn't waste time with frivolous items. His candor was appreciated. Divorce is not easy, but I am glad I had John to guide me through it, and most importantly achieve a timely and fair outcome.

It took me a lot of courage to write this review but at the same time it makes me nauseous and disgusted to think about how this firm sucked thousands of dollars from me in less than a year. Unreasonable and excessive fees is an understatement with this firm. I should not be charged just to set up an appt time to sign paperwork. And then to be charged again while I sit down and sign paperwork. To justify it ,on their end, they will have the attorneys talk about other matters in the case so they can detail their billing as such. Also, when a firm is charging this much to essentially lessen the stress in my life, at least they should get their paperwork accurate. “Cut and paste” from a previous clients motion is common and understandable, but at least get it right before I proofread it and before you charge me to correct your own mistakes. That’s just a few of the things I care to mention. Less than a year ( about 8 months) with this firm and I was coughing up $25,000. Plus other legal fees. Threats to no longer work my case were made to me, and pressure to take a pension loan or home equity loan was put on me as well. I quickly knew I had to find another attorney to handle my custody case and that’s what I did.

I came to Joseph Law Group after a bad experience at another law firm on Long Island. The group, and specifically John Whiteman III, treated me with respect and worked with me though a tough situation and ultimately helped me reach resolution. The team is responsive and professional, and I highly recommend them for any family legal matter.

John was prompt in getting my divorce case settled from day one. Always willing to answer any questions I had during the process and managed to make what can be a difficult experience, a much, much easier one. I greatly appreciate his honesty and approach to getting tasks done in a timely manner, especially during these trying pandemic times. I highly recommend John and his firm to anyone needing legal representation. Thank you John!

Tom Elliot and the staff are respectful and professional. He is very experienced and successfully manged my divorce.

Every person that I dealt with at the Joseph Law Group, from the front desk to James himself, was classy, intelligent, and showed honest concern for the outcome of my case and my well being. I had the privilege to work with James personally and found him to be a consummate professional; he approached things with rational and well reasoned logic, but when we needed tenacity and resolve, he did not let us down. James was always available to listen; he was responsive, and would not hesitate to tell me if my expectations were unreasonable. He was the perfect guide through the difficult terrain of what is a tough and often flawed justice system. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or better legal representation than with the Joseph Law group and after interviewing many lawyers found him to stand well above the rest of the crowd – he and his firm care about their clients, which is evident in their professionalism and their practice. Though James was my primary attorney, several lawyers at the firm participated in my case and contributed their particular expertise towards our goal. Amazing and honest representation from an organized and effective law group.

He was the most understanding and worked so well with me. He knew that the crime that I committed had to do with the fact that I was at that time in the throes of my addiction. He worked so well with the district attorneys office to get me the best deal ever. I was facing years in prison and at the end I got four months in the county jail with five years probation. It felt really good to have an attorney by my side that totally understood that I needed to get help and he guided me in that direction. I recommend him 100% because he got me through and he also got my family through one of the worst situations that I put myself into because of my addiction. He is compassionate, patient and very knowledgeable and works well with the district attorneys office. I am so grateful that my mother hired him and I recommend him to anybody who’s looking for an excellent and supportive criminal attorney.
