Hired Mr. Symancyk in Oct. 2022 for a house deed change from recently deceased Father to one of his daughters. The house was willed to myself and 3 sisters. Paid full fee upfront ( court fees and his his own fee ) as he requested and supplied all paperwork he said was needed ( original will, death cert., Father's original house deed etc. He said he was sending out paperwork to my 3 sisters to be signed, notarized and returned. That was before Christmas last year. All 3 sisters never received it. Started trying to get in touch with him between Christmas and New Year's. Virtually impossible to get in touch with him. Did not return texts, phone messages left on cell or with his service, emails etc. Completely unresponsive. By the beginning of march it was close to 4 1/2 months from our initial meeting. Meanwhile nothing could be done with the house. I say this because my sister lost 4 1/2 months of ownership and what ever time the new lawyer needs. IRS states you have to "own" your primary residence for 2 years before selling to avoid taxes on sale. Also this produced much aggravation, a rift within my family etc. My one sister wrote a long email to him explaining our huge disappointment in how things were handled on his end with naturally no response from him. As far as we were concerned, nothing was accomplished. In the beginning of March I also wrote a long text reviewing the time frame, long process etc. and told him I wanted to terminate our verbal agreement asking for my fee and all paperwork to be returned. To his credit he did return everything back (reason I gave him 2 stars ) the following day leaving me to start over again with another lawyer. Would never use Mr. Symancyk again or recommend him. Like I said I gave him 2 stars because he did return fee and paperwork.

James was my husband and I’s attorney for the home we sold as well as the one we bought. He answered all of our questions in a prompt manner and alleviated any of our concerns or stress throughout the entire process. He advocated for us during both transactions and we couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s clear he’s been doing this work for awhile and is knowledgeable in this capacity. He was someone we fully trusted when making decisions. We highly recommend him!

In a time where everyone is out for themselves, James went above and beyond to make my move to a new house a breeze. My wife and I recently moved and used James Symancyk as our attorney for both buying and selling.He stunned us with how fast and informative he was for any questions and concerns we had along the way. The bottom line is my family has a lawyer I know I can rely on in the future

James Symancyk is the best family attorney there is. I hired him to help me with a difficult relocation case in order to be granted permission to move out-of-state. Right from the start, he was patient and took the time to explain every step of the process. The other party would not consent to the move, and there were a lot of meetings that they rescheduled or canceled last minute. Throughout it all, James kept me updated and tried to help in any way possible. If you're in need of a family law attorney, ask for him! You'll be happy you did.

James Symancyk assisted me with a DWI matter I had last year and he was able to get the charges reduced down to a speeding ticket. I was able to keep my license and still have a clean record. I have since referred several personal friends and family members over to James at Bryan L. Salamone and Associates. James is an extremely competent lawyer that handles himself very well in court. I highly recommend this firm.

James represented me in a family court proceeding against my ex. I was able to obtain sole custody of my child and the father now only has supervised visitation. I am incredibly grateful to James for assisting me in this matter and making my child's safety a paramount concern. James is an intelligent and very aggressive attorney. I trust him so much that I personally referred my close friends and family members to him for legal assistance.

James handled my divorce matter and I highly recommend him. I ended up getting custody of the kids, child support and was able to continue to live in the house my kids grew up in. James is an aggressive attorney but also was very understanding of my situation in going through a very difficult divorce that I did not want but knew I needed.

James was extremely helpful to us while starting our small business and has continued to be helpful with other legal matters. He returns every phone call and email promptly and is very knowledgeable in his profession. His law firm is extremely well recommended and I would pass that recommendation on to anyone looking for a good, honest and hard working attorney

After taking the time to review my situation with James, I knew that he was the attorney to use. Divorce is not easy and with the wrong attorney it can make it worse. James cared about my family and knew I was in a bad situation. I always felt confident that he was working hard for my future. He was able to do what I thought was impossible. James and his Law Firm were able to give me a great future with my children and helped me settle my divorce with more than fair terms. The last time I talked to James I literally thanked him for truly caring about me and my children. I told him that he literally saved my life. I am grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail.
