After making an irresponsible decision, I searched for attorneys and Kim's firm caught my attention. I went in for a consultation only and walked out with her as my attorney. I gave Kim my information and explained my situation. It only took a few minutes for her to look everything over, and she was able explain to me the entire court process and my possible outcomes. Kim also helped me take necessary steps in preparing for my first court appearance. Needless to say I was amazed with her professionalism and knowledge of the entire process including the necessary programs the courts would require. From my first court appearance to my last, Kim was always available if I had any questions. She also made sure to remind me of my court dates and that I should always be early. Kim managed to do the impossible with my case and was able to reduce the charges. I cannot thank Kim enough for her outstanding work. I highly recommend her if you are in need of an attorney.

It gives both my husband and I great pleasure to write this commendation for the excellent service and professionalism provided by Richard G. Kaufman, Seiden & Kaufman, Attorneys at Law. His professionalism included: 1. courteous (polite / attentive); 2. patient (listened and thoroughly responded to my concerns); 3. perspicacious (broad understanding of my needs); 4. skillful (executed services well); and 5. Teacher (made process understandable). Mr. Kaufman exceeded our expectations. Seldom, in my peregrination of life, have I experienced such a high level of legal competence and sensitivity. Often today, only depraved manners, unprofessional conduct, and complaints draw attention. Sadly, those who serve well and go beyond that which is required, are lost in the shuffle. Mr. Kaufman acted expeditiously and with assiduous attention to my legal needs. His staff added the final touch to my rewarding experience at Seiden & Kaufman. L. L. S., Queens, New York

Amazing team of lawyers! Would definitely recommend.

For the majority of my career, I was able to balance my chronic neurological disorder of Tourette’s Syndrome with my job responsibilities. While it wasn’t easy, I managed to balance both. In the twilight of my career my employer offered me a “promotion” that I could not refuse. Unfortunately, my “promotion” led to enormous stress and exacerbated my neurological condition to the point of intolerability. In turn, this positioned the company that I worked for to set me up in a situation where failure was inevitable. As planned, it put them in a position to declare me unable to perform my duties and subsequently fired me. Fortunately, I had long term disability insurance, and was able to submit a claim. Initially the disability insurance company determined that my disability hindered my ability to work and approved my claim on the grounds that my neurological condition was a physical impairment and began to provide benefits to me. After a relatively short period of time, the insurance provider re-evaluated my claim and decided that my physical disability is now a “mental / nervous” disability and decided to cut off my benefits after two years. I immediately engaged the law firm of Frankel and Newfield to assist me. Attorney Jason Newfield and Paralegal Christina Murray took ownership of my issue from day one. I can’t even describe the relief I felt having them “insulate” me from the disability insurance provider. They fronted every unwarranted and illegitimate request by the disability insurance provider. When my benefit’s ran out early, as dictated by the disability insurance provider, Frankel and Newfield filed a lawsuit against them, which forced them to open their eyes and ears and take my claim seriously. Within a few short months we went to mediation and the case was settled, to my advantage, as equitably as possible. If it were not for the law firm of Frankel and Newfield, my claim would have probably terminated much sooner and I would not have stood a chance standing up to the disability insurance provider on my own. I highly recommend the law firm of Frankel and Newfield for anyone that has to deal with an unscrupulous disability insurance provider.

From start to finish Jason was able to anticipate all scenarios and take the best steps to advance the issue. Had great command of the legal, medical and factual issues that decided the case. Extremely well prepared. With precision he delivered an articulate pin point argument and counter argument. He is easy to talk to and didn't over bill me! He is one of the highest rated attorneys with a stellar track record for a reason.

I did not know Neil when I started working with him a few years ago. I was referred to him by someone who had seen him make a presentation at a conference. He is/was one of the best professionals I have come across in my life. I would recommend him to anyone/everyone. I would also recommend not just retaining him, but listening to him. He is a wise man. He knows what he is doing and he thinks clearly.

I don't know where to start. I have had the pleasure of working with Richard Kaufman. As with all cases the firm comes by, it is not a happy story. Mr. Kaufman listened to my cries and helped me by being in MY corner and always telling me the truth. He always called when he said he would and provided me with through information so I understood the process and procedure. This law firm went above and beyond and I will forever be grateful for their empathy and helping hand. I would recommend this law firm in a heartbeat and tell you not to worry. Thank you!

Had a phone conference with Rosario he was rude and had a pompous attitude. He put me on hold and never came back. I would not recommend, office staff are nasty even when receptionist answer the phone she had an attitude.

It became apparent that I was going to need legal representation when I was suddenly dropped from my company disability policy. I have been struggling with a chronic illness for years which has left me with physical and cognitive impairments. I found Jason online, and after an hour initial consultation (which he didn’t charge for) we knew we had found the right lawyer. Jason is bold, straightforward, aggressive and an excellent resource for what is needed to file a proper appeal. Jason (and Christina) are both also very kind, and were flexible when we experienced the sudden loss of a family member. Jason and Christina got my disability reinstated , and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them both. I would strongly recommend Jason for anyone facing a similar situation -fantastic lawyer and also a great person.!

Kimberly’s professionalism is outstanding. She knows what she’s doing and knows how to get the best outcome in her cases. Always responds to emails even after working hours. I appreciate what she did for my family and I highly recommend her!

Steven and his staff are always on the ball when it comes to knowing whether something is viable and whether a settlement offer is appropriate He has always exceeded my expectations and is highly recommended!
