I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation. Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help. Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination. If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children. I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made. Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family. It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded. I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

Great Lawyer. He is quick to respond and is very transparent.

I am 60 years old and I never thought in my lifetime that it would ever come to this. I searched and searched the internet for a bankruptcy lawyer close to my location and the first one that popped up was James Rufo. I of course wanted to talk with him first and see where his office was located and I was extremely impressed! Words can hardly express how deeply grateful I am for your incredible support and dedication throughout my bankruptcy process. You consistently went above and beyond, demonstrating not just exceptional skill, but a genuine commitment to excellence that set you apart as the best of the best. If I was able to give you 10 stars I would have, thanks again sir.

Jessica handled my case with professionalism, class, and grace. I would highly recommend her to others.

After firing my first TWO LAWYERS, I was finally relieved to have found Natalia. I had just escaped an abusive relationship and my ex decided he wanted to sue me for custody of our 1 yr old son.. (Even though he never showed any interest in being a father until I got the courage to leave him) He was incredibly skilled at playing the victim and I needed someone who was able to not only recognize this but to have the ability to present the truth to the judge. From our first consultation, I knew I finally found the right representation with Natalia. She was incredibly intelligent, attentive and perceptive. She helped me to navigate this nightmare with such professionalism and tenacity. After 2 1/2 years of litigation, the judge in fact saw that my ex dragged me to court under “self serving” purposes and awarded me Sole Legal AND Physical custody with permission to relocate out of state. This was a complex case and if not for Natalia’s wisdom and expertise, not to mention compassion, I don’t know where my son and I would be today. Lawyers are a dime a dozen but very few actually CARE about their clients. This is definitely what sets Natalia apart from all the rest. I highly recommend her if you find yourself in a contentious custody and/or divorce case. She will keep you grounded, focused and empowered with knowledge of applicable state laws.

James was great he made the process very smooth and easy. I would highly recommend him.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I met with this firm back in April 2016 for my divorce and I was told it was a free consultation. Well sometime in 2017 I began receiving emails for an invoice for the consultation in the amount of $444.89. I called and explain it was a free consultation. They said they would look into and every year since I still get this invoice. In between I have called to get this resolved and they said they would take care of it. Well today I received the invoice again and immediately called Kandi Ames who was beyond nasty when I explained to her this is going on 8 years almost and I am tired of receiving invoices. She started screaming at me to relax and I’m telling her I’m just explaining how I’m tired of calling and she proceeds to yell relax at me. Stay away from this form they are crooks she wanted to charge me over double what another attorney did. My divorce was super simple and she made it seem like it was going to be a lot of work.

Amazing. If you are thinking about making a big decision in your life financially, Mr. James J. Rufo is the lawyer to go to. I was ignorant about bankruptcy as a whole and he guided me through this process with everything I needed to know and made me feel it was okay to make this decision. By choosing him and decide to file, it felt like the weight was lifted on my shoulders of financial burden. Thank you James.

Jessica Ressler along with Natalie and AnnMarie were absolutely amazing to work with through my divorce. I highly recommend this team to guide you through the process.

They handled my divorce litigation. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have found them. John Guttridge and Joanne Cambareri are exceptional. The most honest and compassionate attorneys you will find.
