Great lawyer. This is one of the last lawyers even willing to look at employment law cases. He should be praised for even taking the time to talk to you. Folks should not be leaving a bad review. You are shooting the messenger.

Every interaction with this man has been hostile. I used to be a paralegal and I would for sure feel bad for his family and staff if I had to be around him all the time. Just like his father he does not practice law ethically. Stay away from his business.

I had the unfortunate experience of being hit by a car while I was riding my bike. It was not my fault, but I did not know that all of the expenses for my medical bills would have to go through MY health insurance. The insurance company for the driver told me I would not receive any payment for my bills until I was willing to take a "one time settlement." Every time I had to call the insurance company, I felt upset and angry for hours afterward. They kept talking about protecting the interests of the driver. There was no one was looking out for my interests but me!
On the recommendation of a close friend, we contacted The Strojnik Firm L.L.C., specifically Peter K. Strojnik. After meeting with me to discuss my accident, he took on my case. From that moment on, I felt a weight lifted - someone else who was knowledgable was going to deal with all of the unpleasantness I was having to deal with. I could concentrate on my rehabilitation and recovery. The firm was very good at communicating with me about what was happening, and I am very satisfied with the settlement that was agreed on. I know without a doubt that I would not have received the amount I did without the help from Mr. Strojnik. I really suggest you contact him at 602-510-9409. He is not a typical stuffy lawyer, but he is really aggressive and really good.

This is not an attorney that I would hire anytime soon. You can tell that he does not take his matters seriously by the way that he talks to others, the way that he conducts himself, and his arrogant approach to resolving matters. Not a fan at all.

Attorney Banks is a very inspiring, detailed professional and holds accountability to the law. Attorney Banks responded to an association which has become corrupt. He was very explicit in details and maintained his legal perspective of the case.

I initiated a first contact with this lawyer through AVVO mail. That was mid September 2023.
To date, no answer at all. If you have no interest, at least take 5 minutes to send a standard “i cant help you”. My time is valuable too.

Rachhana was my initial and only contact during a very long legal process. She flew to another state where I was living just for a few hours in order to meet me and gather facts. She could have managed the initial interview over the phone but went the extra mile (well hundreds of miles) to make it more personal. She had to make several long trips/flights in order to gather information and complete this case. This is an attorney who is passionate about the causes/cases she fights for. Although, she was very busy she would return my calls (within reason-a day or two but I never once wondered if I or the case had been forgotten or if she would call me back), she answered all my questions and explained every development step by step. Rachhana was professional and honest. Her knowledge about multiple state and federal laws, the legal system and case process was amazing. While I am sure she had other cases to work on it never seemed as though she stopped working on my case. I truly cannot say enough about her as an attorney (exceeds all intelligence standards) or as a person (just an overall wonderful person). I have had other legal questions and while I wouldn't expect her to take time out of her busy schedule to answer just any random question, she did. I would recommend Rachhana Srey as the number one attorney to call in her area of expertise.

Based on my personal experience with Rachhana Srey at Nichols Kaster, I would unequivocally & without reservation recommend enlisting her and her firm in legal representation for all matters regarding employee rights as afforded under FLSA. Prior to contacting any law firm, I had done my own extensive research in FLSA to fully understand the extent in which my former employer had violated the law with regard to exempt & nonexempt classification. Once I was certain I had done my homework, had a thorough understanding of the law, & gathered up the requisite documentation to support a claim, I began to search for representation. I made numerous phone calls & had several meetings with law firms claiming to have extensive knowledge & experience in the area of employee rights, only to discover these so-called experts really didn’t understand nor interpret the law the way it was written. That is, however, until I spoke with Rachhana. Rachhana interviewed me over the phone & right away I felt she had a knowledge & understanding of FLSA that expanded on the research I had done & my own understanding of the law & my rights under the law. Immediately after our conversation, Rachhana set up a face to face meeting to discuss in length the potential case and its various outcomes. During the entire process of representing me & my fellow co-workers, she & her staff worked diligently to reach an out-of-court settlement with my former employer that was both fair & equitable to all parties. She is an excellent negotiator with a thorough understanding of the law that I would not only recommend, but also use again in the future if warranted.

My family and I have worked with Patrick for many years, and find him to be the most honest and forthright attorney I have ever met. Patrick always provides me with an honest assessment of whatever issue I bring to him, even if his assessment is that I don't need to hire an attorney. Patrick's practice is one of the very few businesses that has survived all these years on Third Avenue because it is a family business and a part of the Bay Ridge community. They really treat everyone like a neighbor and truly care about our neighborhood. Patrick is and always will be my family's first stop in a crisis. Even if he doesn't have an answer, he always knows where to find one.

I retained this attorney to take over an existing litigation case. From the beginning I was displeased with this attorney's behavior. He is extremely rude, thinks he knows everything and was constantly belittling me. The first time I asked to terminate services and receive my retainer back, he outright refused, insisting that I give him 2 more weeks so he can prove to me that he "is a good lawyer." For those 2 weeks he was avoiding my phone calls until one day I had enough and went to his office, requesting my retainer back in person. He was still giving me a hard time over returning the retainer and kept changing the amount withheld. His clerk first told me $750 would be held back, then the attorney raised it to $2700.00. I disputed this amount and sent him a formal letter of termination and told him that I would possibly seek litigation and other remedies to acquire my rightful refund. It was after receiving my letter that he sent me a letter offering only $6261.00. From $750 that his clerk told me to $3739.00 is a huge difference. To date I have yet to receive anything in regards to a refund and the matter has been handed over to the Brooklyn Bar Association and 2nd District Grievance Committee. I do not recommend this attorney to anyone.

When you have to explain to an attorney that two party consent doesn’t apply to public places because there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy and that the First Amendment, freedom of press, does apply—you suspect you aren’t dealing with the sharpest crayon in the box. But when the lawyer proceeds to be condescending about it, when you’re the one who has a chamber loaded with one star reviews, you realize that the dullest tool in the shed attempted to sharpen the dullest crayon in the box that’s been dressed by its mommy and is rolling around under the seats of the short bus. Lawyers should realize if they pick up the phone to consult that they’re running a business.

Donn Taketa successfully represented us in a fire case against Southern California Edison and Time Warner Cable. The case was tried before a jury for 8 weeks in Ventura County, California. On July 26, 2012, we obtained a judgment in excess of $2 million because of the tenacity of Donn Taketa and his firm's extensive knowledge of the utility industry.
Mr. Taketa’s honesty and integrity were a beacon of light in this highly contested case. Each of the attorneys on the Sullivan Taketa team has impressive skills, talents and credentials.
We prevailed in every aspect of our case because of Mr. Taketa's commitment to us and to our case. Not only did he fight for our rights, but his genuine concern for public safety motivated him to be deeply committed to seeking justice.
I highly recommend Mr. Taketa.

They took our money and saved us none in our efforts to get help managing our debt. They failed to complete agreements with creditors, failed to make payments… you can negotiate more effectively on your own without legal representation! I highly recommend you do NOT work with Northstar. Considering how much we payed them, we were more in debt because we payed them and did not make payments on our debt. Northstar is a SCAM. What a regret that we ever signed anything with them. Save yourself the grief and find any other way to handle your financial problems.

I’m going to be vague intentionally, but I agree with the other low ratings. Missed appointments, low effort, seemed to not want to be bothered with my case while taking my money and then telling me I was probably in trouble and would talk to me later. This without knowing all the facts, or wanting to hear them. He was also snippy and harsh when it wasn’t necessary. Trust the low ratings. He’s no longer interested in fighting for his clients.

I made a lot of poor decisions as a young adult. Consequently I was convicted of driving under the influence on three different occasions spanning from the time I was 18 to 29 years old, resulting in a “lifetime suspension” of my driving privileges. I thought my life was over. But I kept grinding. Eventually I got sober. I changed my life and stayed out of trouble. Ten years later I was eligible for reinstatement. I contacted Mr. Weiner and asked for help. I told him my story and he never once talked down to me, He was very pleasant to deal with. And he gave me clear instructions on what paperwork he would need and what we would need to do to prove I was rehabilitated. I had my hearing and the judge agreed that I deserved to get my license back. I’m so grateful to Jon and his team for all their help.

A god awful firm, at first seemed like a very compassionate and empathetic guy…. Until we left money with the him. Told us just to put a deposit with him to put him on the “back burner” and if we ended up not needing him he would refund the money. Well as time goes by and we realize we don’t need him anymore we begin to try to reach out to get the 1500$ back. Mind you $1700 in total 200 just to talk to the guy which we understood was non refundable not the 1500. I finally get in touch with the guy I’m very respectful, and he goes to gas lighting me and saying off the wall things after he tells me he is not going to refund me. Highly Un professional never dealt with a “lawyer” that acted in the manner of this guy today. Very disappointed and would be careful with leaving this guy any money. Be 100% sure that you need his services before you do so. Mind you this “lawyer” never stepped foot in a court room for us, just took the money and told us we will not be getting it back.

I was referred to Archer and Greiner from a real estate attorney in Pennsylvania, I made the initial call, had a pleasant conversation, was asked to forward some documentation, which I did immediately. I was awaiting a call back and did not get one, so a few weeks having gone by, I called the office, was told the attorney that I was working with was busy, I never got a call back. I waited a few more weeks and called again, once again the receptionist told me that the attorney was not available. I informed the receptionist that this will be the second time I am doing this dance and that I am more than willing to pay for any services. I also informed her that I am a successfully retired business owner and had also served as a fighter pilot in the US Air Force, worthy of the attorney's phone call. I have not received a phone call back. I also registered this same complaint directly with Archer and Greiner via a contact form on their website, I have not heard anything from that communication either. I can only guess as to why. It would have to be one of 3 reasons, 1) The lawfirm is so disorganized that they cannot keep track of contacts and calls, 2) The attorney does not want the business 3) The firm is so busy that they are not taking on new clients. I would imagine and expect that a professional organization such as Archer and Greiner look to be, would in case 2 or 3 have the common decency to just tell me that, however, since they haven't I must conclude that the answer is either 1 or that they do not conduct themselves in a professional manner.

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM – GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND EXTREME OVERBILLING
If I could give Aldi Law Firm zero stars, I would. As a small business owner, I trusted them to defend me in a case, but it turned into a nightmare. They extremely overbilled me for work they clearly never did, fabricating tasks to inflate their invoices. They even had the audacity to threaten to stop working on my case if I didn’t pay their outrageous bills within 10 days.
The worst part? After months of paying their exorbitant fees, I hired a new lawyer and discovered that the Plaintiff’s attorney had no idea I even had representation—Aldi Law Firm never contacted them. This is gross negligence and an insult to any client who expects their lawyer to actually do their job.
Their actions caused me months of extreme emotional distress and financial strain, as they took advantage of me during an already difficult time. This firm is unethical, unprofessional, and, frankly, a disgrace to the legal profession. When I advised them the plaintiffs attorney didn’t even know I had representation they ignored my email. Like most emails sent to them. They never update you and send you to a portal that rarely works for updates. My new attorney was completely shocked at the gross negligence of Adli Law.
Aldi Law Firm should be disbarred for their conduct. Avoid them at all costs unless you enjoy being overcharged for absolutely nothing!

Do Not Do Business with this firm!!! No knowledge of construction or contract law!!!
I hired this firm on September 18th to represent me in a case of a dispute between me and my contractor who didn't finish building my pool and disappeared. Pretty straight forward case for anyone who have done any construction / contract law. This firm charged me $5,000 retainer and started communication with me explaining how complicated my case is. They kept sending me bills and kept explaining that the case is complicated. By November, Nothing was filed and I've been charged almost $3,000 out of my retainer. Frustrated I called Dr. Adli and left him a message expressing my feelings. They were doing the research on my dime. I asked to stop the representation and return the rest of my retainer. They replied with a copy of the complaint ready to be filed with the court and charged me additional $1500 for it. The complain they prepared and charged me for was absolutely useless as the contract had an arbitration clause and all they needed to do to start the process was initiating the arbitration.

I selected Jay Rothman's firm based on a recommendation from a former co-worker who had successfully litigated our former employer. My case had some issues and a former lawyer from his firm had started my case and left in the middle. Jay personally took over my case even though it wasn't a huge one and he got me a fair settlement under the circumstances. He has a dedicated team and is very intimidating in deposition. Understanding that employment cases can take 1 or 2 years to settle depending on how long the court prescribes for case length Jay is aggressive and he gets it done. He is very busy but someone will always answer your questions and address your concerns. You can trust Jay, he has been at this a very long time and he knows his stuff. I highly recommend him.

I was forced to work with Vince by association with other lawyers as a collaborative suit. Instead of respectfully addressing my concerns, he became very upset and accusatory. When I tried to clarify and quote him on things he stated to me that I found problematic and upsetting, he decided to tell me that I was hateful, angry, creating things that weren't real and that I needed to talk to my therapist and not him. Absolutely refused to have a mature or respectful conversation. Really made me regret associating myself with this group of attorneys, though others in the group were very capable of calmly discussing concerns and issues and making sure clients were comfortable.

Mr. Finaldi represented my legal interests in a Jane Doe sexual abuse civil litigation case. He is professional, responsive in addressing concerns, intelligent, and strategically aggressive with opposing council when needed. It was a long road, yet I always felt comfortable entrusting my case to Mr. Finaldi/Manly & Stewart and was additionally pleased with the outcome of my suit. Consequently, I feel confident in giving my strong recommendation for Mr. Finaldi as a civil litigation attorney in these matters.

I retained the services of Esperanza Anderson on June 1, 2023, expecting professional legal support. When I explained my case to her, she was excited to take it and sold me on trusting her.
However, my experience was extremely disappointing, especially because she had seemed so trustworthy at first. Ms. Anderson displayed a blatant lack of communication throughout the process, which left me feeling stranded and frustrated. She said she preferred text over calls but then rarely responded, and then completely stopped responding out of nowhere. I was strung along with no substantial progress on my case, nor was I updated on any developments. Despite my attempts to reach out to her or her office and seek clarifications, my concerns were not addressed.
The pinnacle of my disappointment came when our retainer was terminated unceremoniously without any explanation from Ms. Anderson. This not only disrupted my legal proceedings but also cost me time and resources in finding a new attorney. I felt disregarded and disrespected as a client.
I would not recommend Ms. Anderson's services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Very disappointing experience. Mr Key was very clear about his intention for the trial, including obtaining body cam, dashcam, and CCTV footage. Although the trial was put on hold due to the pandemic, at no point did Mr Key over the course a year and half ever request or even watch any of footage he himself claimed to have wanted. Mr Key is a also a poor communicator. I, for example, only found out the first court date had been postponed because i had reached out to him the day before to find out where we'd be meeting. Mr Key will also take weeks (if ever) to reply to emails. It got to a point where I would have to email him multiple times and ultimately call in order to obtain a response from him. To my point, I am currently waiting on a reply to an email I sent him two weeks ago.

Mr Key represented me for two DUI's and an assault charge. All serious charges that, left in a novice's hands, would have most likely yield a HEFTY fine and/or jailtime. Mr Key worked his magic in the court room and behind the scenes to get all of the cases DISMISSED!!!! The judges and prosecutions respect and regard for Mr Key's presence is immediately apparent. His aggressive, direct, and straightforward demeanor in the courtroom is a prosecutor's worst nightmare!! I highly recommend Mr Key!

I never met with this attorney one on one, I was kept out of the process even though I asked to be included, at the end he supported taking my right to talk about my experience. He was very invested chatting with opposing attorney about family matters. My best interest was not ever considered

He was able to win an employment case for me and it was not under easy circumstances. Even when other lawyers didn’t want to take my case , he took it and won for me ! He is very professional and made this hard time a little easier for me. I’m so glad I found him and I would highly recommend!

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.
When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:

- Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
- Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.

How Are Sexual Harassment Lawyers Paid?

- Hourly rate: Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate, especially if the case is unlikely to result in monetary compensation but still requires legal assistance.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rate: Lawyers representing employers usually charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on their experience and the case complexity.
- Retainer: Employers may pay a retainer fee for ongoing legal services, especially if they require regular legal counsel on employment matters.
It's important to discuss fees during the initial consultation to understand the cost structure and any additional expenses.
How Much Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sexual harassment lawyer varies based on several factors:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fees: If working on a contingency basis, you typically won't pay any upfront fees. If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the compensation. For example, if you settle for $50,000 with a 30% contingency fee, the lawyer would receive $15,000.
- Hourly rates: If charged hourly, fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. Total costs depend on the number of hours worked.
-
