anonymous · litigation ·
Hired Charles Lawson for my a legale case. He talked a good talk when it came down to it he consulted wit the other party attorney disclosed my medical information and missed important key clues that could have closed out the case. He showed up to trials with coffee stains on his shirt and sneakers h ow unprofessional dragged out the court cases just to obtain more money. I was utterly disappointed and digusted at Mr. Lawson.

Charles is a phenomenal lawyer. He’s well-versed in the law as well as the procedures of Family Court. He made me feel comfortable and confident in my legal proceedings. He displayed open communication throughout the case with me that did not make me feel like I was out of the loop or searching for a nswers. He has a calm, cool demeanor but is a strong advocate when it comes to the proceedings. I would definitely use him again, as well as referring his services to my colleagues and friends.
- ★★★★★NOT FOR YOU!
anonymous ·
What happens when you are not intentionally informed about vital important information regarding your case is "not disclosed" to you by your attorney? Three words, "gross malpractice negligence".
- ★★★★★Thank you!
Shabnam · family law ·
Aziz was great! Accommodated me on an urgent family matter. He is very responsive and knows how to breakdown the complexities of any case. He always offered great advice. I would HIGHLY recommend him as your attorney! The case was resolved in less than 4 months.
- ★★★★★A true professional and a great team!
Viskhan · litigation ·
I was filled with trust in Aziz Juraev and confidence in his professionalism from the very first consultation with him. This was the first lawyer, at the very first conversation with whom, I had a feeling of confidence in the outcome of the trial. And this despite the fact that he did not promise mountains of gold and did not persuade him to become his client. From the moment the contract was concluded until the judge made a decision, I never doubted my choice. Throughout my journey, Aziz and his team guided me in the best possible way. All documents were submitted on time. During consultations with Aziz and Alexander, I was able to imagine how the court hearing was going and how to behave at it, and I was able to believe that my case was not without hope for success. They instilled in me faith in the American justice system, which can accept even words without indisputable documentary evidence as an argument. All this is possible due to the fact that judges are people too and believe in humanity. At the trial itself, Aziz behaved like a true professional. I am very glad that I made the right choice by choosing Aziz Juraev as my lawyer. I am sincerely grateful to Aziz and his entire team.
- ★★★★★knowledgable staff, easy process
Lara · family law ·
I used Aziz Juraev for a divorce proceeding. It was a pleasant experience to work with Mr. Juraev and his office given the circumstances. It took only one office visit where all my questions were answered in details, the documents were emailed to me for review, they were filed with the court shortly and in less than 2 months I got my final judgment/decree (divorce papers) in Kings county.
- ★★★★★Great immigration
Muhammad · immigration ·
Juraev and his team have done a great job to get my fiance her visa and update her immigration status. They have navigated me through the whole process by constantly checking on me and updating me on the process. I highly suggest hiring Juraev team for your immigration cases because they are ex perts in this matter! Thank you all for your help!
- ★★★★★Lawyer you can trust!
Muhamadjon · immigration ·
After consulting with several lawyers, I decided to hire Mr. Dzhuraev for my immigration case and couldn’t be more happy. He truly is a professional, very knowledgeable, talented and gathered an amazing team around himself. They take their job seriously and make sure you win. I can’t thank you enoug h Mr. Dzhuraev for winning my case.
- ★★★★★Exceptional Guidance from the Start

Mr. Arnel is a straightforward, highly knowledgeable attorney. Even in an initial consultation, he was generous with his expertise and provided the clarity and confidence I was looking for. Anyone who hires him is fortunate to have him and his team in their corner.

Adelina ·
Curt is an excellent attorney that knows the law. He fights for you and makes sure to cover all bases. He is efficient and effective. If you want the job done then Curt Arnel is who you want in your corner. He gets the job done!
- ★★★★★Arnel Law Firm - Highly Recommended
Allah · family law ·
I have been using this team of lawyers for a child custody case as a father. I have been through many lawyers in the past that could not follow through with what they have said, but this is not the case here at Arnel Law Firm. They have been extremely well prepared for court appearances and are not a fraid to speak up to refute the opposing party or get their point across. They have taken my needs into consideration and have made last minute court appearances in order to benefit my case. I would highly recommend this team to anyone, but especially fathers, as they have not been biased at all throughout this case. I will continue to use their services in the future, and I am sure they will get the job done right. Again, I would highly recommend this set of lawyers to anyone with an extremely tough case. They are straight forward and will get the results they say they will. It is hard to find a great set of lawyers; this place is it.
- ★★★★★Strongly recommend!
Alberto · family law ·
Curt Arnel made me feel at ease the minute I walked into his office. As nerve racking as divorce is, he reduced the stress during my process. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime.
- ★★★★★Outstanding outcome, exceptional team
George · family law ·
I highly recommend Mr. Stutman, from the moment I walked into his office I felt like I had someone in my corner. He did an excellent job directing what could have been a very hostile divorce, well respected by the opposing attorney, he stood his ground negotiating a fair and equitable deal for everyo ne involved. Stutman and his team were meticulous about keeping me well informed of critical dates and helped me in assembling the necessary documents and information to be presented. It was a complicated divorce between assets, family trust and a very emotional custody negotiation but at every turn they were professional, accommodating, efficient, trustworthy, and not intimidated by any situation that came up. I could not be happier with the final outcome.
- ★★★★★Best Divorce Lawyer in New York
Rachel · family law ·
Bernard Rothman is the best divorce lawyer in New York. I had the great honor to work with Bernie for a number of years and his compassion, dedication, knowledge, and skill is unparalleled. He knows how to make sure you are protected and informed throughout the difficult divorce process. As an att orney myself I wholeheartedly recommend clients to him when they are going through a divorce or custody battle. You could hope for no better!

I used the firm for a bankruptcy matter. The lawyer Robert was very professional and helped me every step of the way. The staff, especially Priscilla was always so helpful and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this attorney for all your legal needs.
- ★★★★★Peer review
Nathan Pinkhasov · litigation ·
Robert and I had many cases over the years as opposing counsel and we were always able to work out any differences. Great attorney.
- ★★★★★Divorce lawyer
Dana · family law ·
Mrs. Hoskins has helped me understand the laws of getting a divorce and also my rights for getting custody of my son. Her advice was fair and I would recommend Mrs. Hoskins for anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.
- ★★★★★Excellent Lawyer
anonymous · family law ·
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sharon's work with me was her ability to help me stay calm and focused in the midst of my considerable emotional turmoil. Divorce lawyers are known for gouging vulnerable clients. This never occurred with Sharon. She would give clear advice ( about wasteful and unnecessary communications) but would always do what I'd ask. Her literary skills made my communications more effective and powerful than I could produce myself. Lastly, now that the divorce is concluded she turned out to be right about the few times I doubted her and I am grateful. I have and will continue to recommend her highly.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Lawyer!
Pam · family law ·
Sharon is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining every aspect of matrimonial law and my case to me. She was very responsive and more importantly, sensitive to what I was going through. Matrimonial and family issues can be quite stressful and she not only resolved my case timely a nd efficiently, but also walked me through it with compassion.
- ★★★★★A great lawyer!
Olivia · family law ·
I hired Ms. Hoskins to assist me with my recent divorce. I feel extremely lucky to have been referred to her as she made an unbearable situation bearable. She possesses a warm and comforting demeaner which put me at easy immediately. Not having been thru this process before, I relied heavily on her knowledge and guidance. The process was fairly quick and I am satisfied with the outcome. Many thanks to her!
- ★★★★★Great Cleaning Up a Mess
anonymous ·
I'm a lawyer - though not a divorce lawyer - and was referred to Sharon by a former classmate. She came and cleaned up the mess my prior lawyer made more efficiently than I thought possible. Sharon did what a lawyer should do; She made me feel like it was going to be ok. And it was.
- ★★★★★The Best Divorce Attorney!
anonymous · family law ·
Matt Marcus is a phenomenal divorce attorney. He helped my 2 children and me through a difficult divorce and supported me with his legal expertise and his high emotional intelligence IQ. Matt was accessible almost 24-7 to me, and he treated us as if we were his family. The agreements he drafted were extremely detail-oriented- leaving no room for ambiguity. Matt kept the best interest of my young children as a priority. He was also mindful of the financial impact of divorce on a family and did everything he could to work efficiently. Matt is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and compassionate. I am pleased with the outcome of my divorce agreements, and I feel as though I won the divorce attorney lottery. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone going through a challenging time.
- ★★★★★Great attorney

Matt is honest, professional and compassionate attorney. He moved quickly, delivered excellent result and was always (including after hours and weekends) available for urgent consultations or questions. The price was fair and reasonable.
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney!
anonymous · family law ·
Matthew Marcus and his team are amazing! I hired Matthew to represent me in an interstate jurisdictional matter regarding custody; and throughout my case, his communication, knowledge and application of the law, professionalism and most importantly, client support was impeccable.

Matt is one of the smartest and kindest people I have every met. He shepherded me through a very complex and fraught CoHab contract and was consistently meticulous and sensitive.
- ★★★★★Amazing Attorney
Megan · family law ·
I worked with Matt on a very difficult divorce. He was attentive, incredibly smart, and really assisted me through a difficult time. He was always available any day or time. He literally was my go-to man during the whole divorce and made me feel like I had an advocate really working for me. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Matthew.
- ★★★★★Kenneth’s advice helped me to make a life changing decision.
Alexandra ·
Kenneth is an amazing specialist and very warm and positive person. His advice changed my way of looking at the situation, helped to make a wiser choice and I didn’t pay a dime for it.. If you are feeling stuck and have no idea what to do next. You should visit Kenneth. You will get inspired and will obtain enough information to make your next step in the right direction. Thank you very much Kenneth.
- ★★★★★Thanks Ken and Liz
David · family law ·
I was going through a very tough custody battle and making little progress. After taking several beatings in the courtroom I decided to reach out to Ken Eiges. After my first conversation with Ken I knew everything would turn out well. My tendency is to strike back hard when being attacked, Ken ad vocated a less confrontational approach with the aim of reaching an agreement. Working with Ken and his associate, Liz Garvey, and through extensive, tough negotiations led to a mutual agreement where I am very involved in my child's life. Liz was a pleasure to work with and through her diligence, toughness, and hard work we achieved our goals. Liz's compassion and sense of humor made the whole episode much easier even when I was grumbling and cranky. Thanks to Ken, Liz, and the whole team for resolving this troubling episode with the best possible result.
- ★★★★★Ken Eiges did ONE thing for me: He took my money.
Scott · family law ·
Ineffective, wet noodle, did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me. I am 100% positive I could've gotten a better deal without him. He didn't advocate for me, didn't fight for me, didn't counsel me. Ken was representing me in a child support case, where I was paying an inflated amount that I couldn't afford. The corp counsel made him an offer, which he "arbitrated" a whopping 10% off of! He came out of the meeting, not defending me, his client, but telling me that the corp counsel thought I was a "bad person"! If I were defending him, I would have fought back with a similar accusation towards the mother. Ken did NOTHING for me. After we settled for this outrageous inflated sum, he neglected to tell me that I could appeal it! Did not even mention this fact. I found out much later from a free legal clinic, but it was too late to appeal. To make matters worse, after seeing how unhappy I was, he left me with "call me when he (your son) turns 18". When I contacted him recently, he asked for a HUGE retainer, 3x as big as the first one. Lazy, useless, the kind of lawyer that gives lawyers' a bad name.
- ★★★★★Excellent Advice
Tina ·
The caring, thoughtful advice Mr. Eiges provided during my $100 consultation helped put things on their proper perspective and saved me from making a colossal mistake that would have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- ★★★★★Highly recommend
Jeanne ·
Ken Eiges made the process quick and painless. The office was easy to deal with and i appreciate that they communicated with me promptly and efficiently. Ken took the time to listen to and understand the details of my situation, made me feel heard, and never made me feel rushed or forgotten. He is pe rsonable and easy to talk to and remembers you. I would recommend him to everyone and couldn’t have asked for an easier experience. Thank you Ken and staff!
- ★★★★★Compassion family lawyer understands client's need

It was a great experience working with Rong. Her working style is efficient and effective. She understood client's needs and provided solutions to the point in a very short time. Moreover, she's willing to go further to fight for her clients for the best results.
- ★★★★★Excellent Lawyer who patiently explains every step
Tom · family law ·
Rong helped my long separated SO get a divorce. The issues were complex as she had to deal with dual language issues and one party having a poor understanding of the US legal system. She is knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and fairly priced.
- ★★★★★Rong helped us with our immigration paperwork!
anonymous ·
She was always willing to help, gave us the best advice and responded to our questions as soon as she can. We are very happy with how things went through!
- ★★★★★Efficient and thorough.
Richard · family law ·
I hired Ms. Kohtz to review a separation agreement that involves child custody terms regarding China trips. I also hired her to translate the document. She was efficient and has contacts with a Mainland China law firm.
- ★★★★★Great advice
anonymous · family law ·
I have consulted with Rong Tao Kohtz a couple of times in the last 4 years. My case involved custody between parents living in different countries and was definitely quite complicated. She thoroughly reviewed the extensive documentation of my case beforehand and provided the best advice I could get. From my experience I would absolutely recommend her on international custody cases.
- ★★★★★Divorce help
Nolee · family law ·
I had an excellent experience working with Mr Centeno during my divorce settlement. From the very beginning, they were professional, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained every step of the process clearly, and always kept me informed. I highly recommend them to anyone going through a divorce. Their professionalism, empathy, and expertise helped me navigate a very difficult time with confidence and peace of mind.

Stephanie · family law ·
David and his entire staff has been incredibly helpful from the very beginning. From our initial consultation, he put my mind at ease, answering any questions I had. Throughout the process, they showed me that they were on top of things and they constantly followed up with me to give me status update s on my case. A few days ago, my case was finalized and thanks to David and his employees, I can finally move on with my life. While I do not wish anyone has to go through the process of a divorce, if you find yourself in such a position, I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

- ★★★★★How I Found the Right Attorney for me Online
Laurie · family law ·
I hired Ms. Brown to help me with an uncontested divorce after 35 years of marriage. I’m accustomed to hiring professionals like this from referrals from friends or family. Certainly not online! But I wasn’t having any luck connecting with someone I wanted to hire, and I really wanted to move forwar d, so I decided to look online. That was a big step for me. I had never looked online for any professional. I found Ms. Brown’s profile, which looked refreshing and stood out for its many good reviews. I also liked her website which had a very positive aspect and a lot of good information. I was motivated to call her office and set up a consultation. I had 2 phone consultations with her. In each of them she listened carefully, addressed my questions fully, and was nothing but straightforward and professional. I was inspired to move forward with the difficult decisions I had to make, but now with the necessary confidence in the process and the person. Her entire staff has been supportive, kind, and professional in every way. I’m at the end of the process now, with the result I intended. Thanks to Ms. Brown and her team it’s all done and everyone is at peace. For something as difficult as a divorce you need an attorney who is experienced, clear and honest in their explanations, reachable, and inspires trust. You will get all these important qualities, and others, in Ms. Brown and her team. I couldn't be happier that I hired her. And to think! I found her online!
- ★★★★★Exceptional Attorney
Lysette · family law ·
It is with the highest possible regard that I recommend Mary Katherine Brown, Esq. I retained Ms. Brown to begin my divorce proceedings. Despite unnecessary, years long delays created by my former spouse, Ms. Brown and her team provided consistent professionalism and communication between the co urt, myself and the numerous turnovers of opposing counsel. I found her knowledge, availability, and attention to the details of my case extremely impressive. On a personal note, Ms. Brown’s supportive compassion helped me to navigate the sale of marital property, division of assets and relocation issues up to the conclusion of the divorce this Spring. I will be forever grateful that Ms. Brown’s efforts enabled me to close that chapter of my life and begin an exciting new journey of peaceful freedom.
- ★★★★★Exceptional Legal Support During a Difficult Time
