My lawyer was Kimberly Lerner and she is a powerhouse. She supported me through the entire process. I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me. The outcome was even better than expected in my favor and if you need a lawyer that will fight for you. She's it. Look no further. The day I made her my lawyer I had already had consultations with about 3 or 4 that same day. I had 2 more scheduled but after I met with her, I cancelled them both. She is affordable and the absolute best there is.

For anyone that suffers from Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome you need to reach out to a disability lawyer that specializes in this area. Don’t be fooled by the insurance company. They will act like your friend to get you to say what will help them deny your claim. Having your doctor state you are disabled and no longer able to work because of your diagnosis and symptoms is simply not enough. I personally have used Jason Newfield from Frankel and Newfield. His practice is built upon getting you the disability benefits that you are entitled to. No he cannot guarantee you that benefits will be paid but he will put in the time and effort to give you the best opportunity to receive the benefits you are entitled to. Remember the insurance companies only objective is to find a way to deny your claim. Jason's only objective is protect your interest. He has an enormous amount of experience knowing the do’s and don’t. Equally important I’m sure that your disability insurance provider is one that he most likely has dealt with in the past. I won't lie, there is a cost associated having legal representation but I will tell you that the cost of not being properly represented is far greater. I cannot over emphasize that the insurance company will do and use whatever tactic is necessary, and then some, that is best for them to deny your claim. Hence if you don’t present your case with your best foot forward, at the beginning, you could be setting yourself up for failure. You have to able to prove that your disability prevents you from working. As I have stated earlier, a diagnosis and list of your symptoms is simply not enough. Leave that part to the professionals. Frankel and Newfield (Jason Newfield) is someone that I have been using for about 10 years. This is all they do. Prior to using Jason Newfield, I thought I had done everything right. I had legal representation but not someone who specializes in these disabilities. Jason took on my case when it was time to appeal my denial. Best decision I’ve ever made was going with Jason Newfield. My only regret was not using him from the very onset. I may have been able to avoid filing an appeal. Trust me that using someone that specializes in Fibromyalgia and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome disability cases is your best chance of getting the benefits you are entitled to. I would like to close out by saying getting your initial benefits is only part of the process. You will need to provide the proper documentation, on a regular basis, to support your claim long term. As well, you need to understand your insurance policy. It most likely will have definition changes at certain intervals. Leave those details to someone you can trust. In Jason I trust.

I hired this firm to fight couple of my traffic tickets in Nassau county. I was pulled over and given multiple tickets for no reason, and quickly spoke to attorney told me that he will fight them. Very happy with the outcome. Dismissed my tickets and one was reduced to a jaywalking ticket.

Steve Palermo, his assistant, Ana, and the rest of his staff have been a pleasure. Everyone made me feel comfortable and confident. During trial, Steve gave the jury a full accounting and mental picture of what I've gone through. I know it played a major role in their decision and I'm glad he fought to the end, because he got me 3xs the insurance company's best offer. With this being my first experience going through an injury, Steve would be my first choice in the future I needed. And, I would definitely refer anyone I know to this firm.

I never thought I would need to hire an attorney to help me with my disability claim, but when my insurance company did not take me seriously, and downplayed several reports furnished by my surgeon and physical therapist, I knew it was time to seek outside assistance. I realized from my initial conversation with Jason Newfield that I had found the right person. This was especially comforting, since a larger local law firm had told me that my case would not be worth fighting. If you are in a similar situation, or even uncertain of which direction to take, my advice is to give Mr Newfield a call. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with the "ins and outs" of insurance policies, and companies' tactics to delay or deny rightful benefits to their policyholders. Not only was I completely impressed by his diligent, well-researched, and persistent strategy, I always was made to feel that I was his only client. It takes a very dedicated and focused attorney to achieve that. Not everyone is able to give their clients such customized and personal service. It is without hesitation that I give Mr Newfield an A+ rating. I cannot thank him enough for the result he obtained. And I cannot forget the assistance of Christina and Jenna as well. They both are excellent at their jobs, and an asset to the firm. Thanks to all of them!

I spoke with Sean O'Hara, Esq. on several occasions and found him to be extremely helpful; offering insight and clear/objective pros and cons on the options available in my specific situation. Although I chose to not pursue a case, I definitely would have gone with him had I decided to move forward with engaging an attorney and would recommend him to anyone needing sage employment law counsel.

I obtained Lerner & Lerner P.C. for my SSD claim. My case was exceedingly difficult with numerous obstacles. So much so that I believe any other law firm would have dropped my case. Margret ( my guardian angel ) Mr Lerner & Judy never gave up fighting for me until they were victorious. I was treated as if I were a family member & not a client. They protected my future & now I can concentrate on my health. Lerner & Lerner P.C. is a quality law firm built by quality & Qualified people. I am truly grateful!

Richard Lerner has become a friend through a long and lengthy legal process. He truly cares about his clients and is always available for advice. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney, look no further.

Steve Palermo is the most professional attorney I ever dealt with. He handled 2 of my cases and I was extremely satisfied with his expertise and his professional staff especially Danielle. This law firm is exceptional and if I could give them a 10+ rating I would. I highly recommend this law firm.

Kimberly Lerner handled a personal legal matter for me with excellent results. She is both professional and friendly, very easy to talk to. I highly recommend this firm. The rates are very reasonable as well.

I got speed ticket in 6 points he cut from 2 points but no points can make thru any other lawyer can do that but he can’t what a horrible lawyers also my ex Mendy Willsmith also told me this lawyer is horrible.....and I support cops. Now I understand she was right. Sad Lerner sad.
