All of the people at The Hobbs Law Firm were welcoming and helpful with everything I had going on. I highly recommend Rita and Chuck for any of your legal problems.

I was married to a con artist, a sociopath. He claimed poverty and received council from the solicitor James Sexton. My marriage was a sham. My husband was poisoning me with laxatives and sedatives, gaslighting me, installing surveillance equipment inside and outside my house. He hacked into all of my accounts. Even though he’s a noted artist and earns a lot of money (off the books) he’s charming enough to deceive Mr Sexton and constantly claims that he’s a victim. Mr Sexton has been unavailable and has done nothing to dissolve this sham of a marriage. All of the paperwork has been submitted, yet it’s been taking too long for him to complete the dissolution of this marriage. I live in fear, every day. I understand that Mr Sexton was ill with the COVID virus, but he has recovered, and ignores my solicitor’s contacts in reference to why the marriage is yet to be dissolved. My spouse and I did not share any accounts, nor did we have children, and never filed taxes together. It’s a simple dissolution, yet as my ASPD husband is deceiving not only his solicitor, he’s deceived the government and will never be held accountable for the crimes he has committed. Mr James Sexton, I implore you, to make the effort to free me from the evil human who you are representing. Your client, JZ, is dangerous. Please, please, just file all the signed and notarized paperwork that you took upon yourself to complete, and do your job to end this nightmare of a marriage. I know that he told you that I was abusive and unfaithful and mentally disturbed, but just because he said these things doesn’t make them true. Next time you speak with him, ask him what happened to his first fiancée. Ask him about his lucrative career as a comic book artist. Ask him about everything he stole from me. Ask him about his legal history. If you only knew the nature of your client, you would do your best to expedite the process of this divorce. Because of him, I am afraid of all men, and I cannot trust anyone anymore. If you took the time to do some background research, you will find out that your pro bono client is a fraudulent exploitative opportunist with no conscience or empathy. You have all the paperwork, so just submit it and let’s finish this once and for all.

Had an appointment and arrived 15 minutes early. Was met with a younger man who rudely snapped at us with a greeting of “you are 15 minutes early sit down there”. Should’ve gone with my gut instinct and left immediately proceeded to have an appointment with Kevin where we went over the estate planning, which is a complicated scenario. We asked about retention and he said he will send the paperwork. We paid him his $400 and sent him an email confirming our desire to retain them. In the morning we received a reply email stating that sorry, he was too busy to take on our case (but thanks for the $400 “consultation fee” and good luck. I would’ve expected if he knew he was too busy to take the case on, he should not have taken our consultation appointment and subsequent $400 and lied to us when he said, he was going to send the retention paperwork knowing full well he was not going to take the case. Worse than this, he also was extremely unprofessional and slanderous and accusatory in his email, without knowing all the pieces we already have in place. He was absolutely rude the entire “consultation” and I would not recommend this person at all for things as sensitive as elder care and estate planning.

I'm a divorce lawyer with offices in Rockland County and Manhattan. For over two decades I've referred all of my friends, family and family law clients to the Hobbs Law Firm for all of their estate planning, trust, elder law and related legal needs. I've even used them for my own estate planning. The attorneys at the Hobbs firm are experienced, ethical and highly respected by the bench and bar. I would not hesitate to recommend the Hobbs firm to anyone. They are, in my opinion, the "gold standard" in representation that every client deserves and should demand.
