He was with me every step of the way answer all phone calls n returned some kept me update on everything and came off great!!”HE IS THE BEST LAWYER I EVER RETAINED “

I hired George Hildebrandt for what I felt was a very difficult criminal charge. From our first meeting I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable! I had never been involved in any criminal process. He literally walked me through the court process, making it understandable. He was supportive and kept me up to date. The outcome of my case was exactly as I had hoped. I would highly recommend George Hildebrandt!

Very through, responsive, kept us up to date. No surprises, followed through on every item of my case. I would highly recommend.

I’ll always be thankful to George as he looks out for his client’s best interest. I can’t say enough good words for him- he is intelligent, dependable, organized/detail-oriented. He makes himself available all the time. I could not ask for a better lawyer. I highly, highly recommend him as he is very knowledgeable and will go above & beyond your expectations. You will not be disappointed hiring Attorney Hildebrandt.

I read my reviews, did my research and even met with George before finally deciding to retain his services. I am VERY glad I did. Everything that I read about him was not only true, but doesn't speak enough to the talent this man has! George was not only a force in the court room, he was super knowledgable and had a way of tactfully getting his point across. He answers all my questions, was always super responsive and gave me excellent help and advice through out the entire process(I had George for 2 cases with in the same year DWI/DRUG COURT). George was able to get me fair sentence and I could not be more happier with his service!!! Would recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend Steve to anyone!! He handled my case quickly and professionally and was always available right on the spot or would get back to me quickly. I always felt like he cared about me and didn't just look at me as another client. Definitely worth the call!

Our family faced a difficult time and needed a lawyer. We were so pleased with the service that Steve provided. He was always able to answer our questions timely via phone and email, always presented knowledgeable options and most of all, always supported what we felt was best for our family. It was a pleasure to work with Steve. His professionalism and expertise really did help us win exactly what we wanted! My family and I would not hesitate to give Steve our highest recommendation. If we ever needed a lawyer again, we know he's who we would call!

First of all, if you are reading reviews on lawyers, then my heart goes out to you because it's always a difficult time if your looking for someone to represent you! That was us, for years, in and out of court for reasons we still think are ridiculous. My husband and I have worked with many lawyers, but with confidence we can say that Steve was the absolute best we have ever met and worked with! Our journey with lawyers, before we met Steve, had many frustrations. It was so annoying to feel like a bother to our other lawyers! We were being unjustly dragged through the system and the lawyers we were paying to represent us just wanted us to settle so they had less work! We were feeling defeated and decided to find someone new to represent us. It was truly a blessing to meet and work with Steve. From the moment we met him, we knew he was different. He actually took the time to listen to us, cared about our feelings and asked how we wanted to handle the situation. He actually listened and supported us fully along the way. He always got back to us in a timely manor, always kept us current of what was happening and helped us secure the exact outcome we hoped for and wanted. It was amazing how much of a burden was lifted from us when we had a lawyer that actually was doing his job with integrity. We can't thank Steve enough for his help and support during the past troubling months! We know that if we ever needed another lawyer, than we would choose Steve! We give Steve the highest recommendation!

I wrote the review below about two years ago. I feel it now appropriate to update my review. Everything I said before stands just as true today as it did two years ago. In fact, Mr. Buitron has continued to represent me in and out of court these past two years. His performance has remained beyond reproach. To reiterate, his pleasant, calm demeanor makes every interaction with the court or other attorneys an absolute delight! And, yes, we were victorious in every proceeding, just as before! This past spring, Mr. Buitron was principally responsible for having the county court overturn a mistaken felony conviction. The record was expunged and sealed! In fact, without going into detail, this was the first time in over 20 years that a conviction of this sort was vacated! The court proceeding took under ten minutes and the judge didn't hesitate for even a moment to overturn the conviction. So, once again, if you need a forthright, honest, hard working attorney, Mr. Buitron is the attorney to counsel and represent you. Mr. Buitron has been my attorney since August, 2012. He has counselled me and aided me with several legal issues and has represented me with a variety of government agencies as well as in Court. At all times, Mr. Buitron was well informed of the law, well prepared, and well spoken as my representative both in and out of Court. His manner is one of genuine concern and compassion. He always had a "handle" on the situation and readily anticipated apposing counsels' arguments. My favorite anecdote is one in which I asked him, after yet another victory, why we kept winning. His soft spoken response was simply "Because we're right!". In fact, while we may have been "right", I think all our successes, and we were always victorious, were attributable to his honest, humble, hardworking, inciteful approach to the law. If you need a man who will be straight with you and tell you like it is, while working diligently on your behalf, Mr. Buitron is the attorney to choose.

Steve Buitron has represented me in multiple family court proceedings as well as a separate civil matter. Not only had he always successfully worked each case to get me the most beneficial outcomes (often times, exactly what I was looking for), but the thing that has always stood out to me most when working with him is the way he treats his clients. I’ve had experiences with other lawyers who are very crass, and treat their clients with such disrespect, as if their only concern was getting their money and getting them out the door. Steve always takes the time to listen to your concerns, answering any questions you have and working to ensure he understands everything necessary for each case. He is very friendly and respectful. Steve has made what are usually very difficult and stressful times much easier. He truly cares about what he does, and who he works with. I would (and do) recommend him to any one in need of representation.

Seth and his team have always been my go to. Between his professional and prompt attitude and his ability to handle most cases via email or remotely without my presence. I couldn’t recommend anything better in terms of legal service.

I received a speeding violation back in December 2020 and is now dismissed. Seth Azria and firm has done an excellent job in getting the ticket dismissed successfully. The entire staff has been very professional, quick and responsive. I really appreciate their service and give them a 5 star. I would be happy to refer them to my friends. Thanks

These lawyers are the best Was up against a judge who hated the company I work for so I know I was not going to get a fair judgment on my behalf So called these guys and they fought for me 5 Star Service Top notch lawyer will be using them again

Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state. The speeding ticket had no information and the city's documentation was too complicated and obscure for us to comprehend. Our case was concluded very much to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.

I was stopped by a NY state trooper for speeding on my way back to Canada right before the border crossing on I-81 in Mar. 2020. (Please be mindful about the signs of reducing speed. I didn't slow down quick enough). It was the first time I was stopped by a cop and I had no idea what I should do about this ticket. I searched on Google and decided to contact Mr. Azria. He was very nice to talk to and clarified all the questions I had regarding the ticket. In the end I did the online traffic safety training by Jefferson County. Mr. Azria helped me organize my correspondence with the DA and the court all the way through. I was quite fortunate to find him to fight the ticket for me. He and his assistant was very professional and knowledgeable. My charge was reduced to "failed to signal" and 2 points deduction. I appreciate the advice and help from Mr. Azria.

Michael Spano Is one of the most amazing lawyers out there I can’t not said enough good things. Honest, reliable, professional, and get the job done. He is always my first choice for a client referral.

Michael represented me twice. Each time showed a genuine concern and went above and beyond what most lawyers do. Very professional, took time with each case. Didn't rush anything. 100% recommend him

Mr. Spano helped a good friend of mine get justice. Brilliant legal mind.

This year I needed the services of Michael Spano and he was quick to respond. He has the communication skills and the perseverance to complete the work necessary and drive it to a successful conclusion. In both situations, I was pleased with the results of his work and the decisions of the court. Michael understands that he not only works with people, but for them and his actions influences their lives. That said, I would highly recommend him without hesitation!

He was nice but wouldnt get involved with my case.

Honestly, The best attorney I could have ever reached out to! Mr. Riotto and his team were always knowledgeable and very experienced when it came to answering any question I had. Mr. Riotto put up with a lot of my questions and always stayed professional and courteous. Mr. Riotto knew the law very well and ensured I had the best representation at all times to protect my rights. Mr. Riotto and his team were able to resolve my court matter and get me a resolution I couldn't be happier with! If google allowed me to give more than 5 stars I would! HIGHLY recommend.

I would highly recommend the Law Office of James L. Riotto. Mr. Riotto and his staff are kind, courteous and professional. They handled my issue quickly and effectively. I look forward to working with them in the future!

Information: As a social justice advocate I believe that it’s critical that predators working as parole officers are exposed for who they are…. Parole officers are not suppose to address a parolee family members by anything other than Mr. or Mrs. They are not suppose to go to a parolee home and stay there talk about their personal lives and attempt to sleep with the parent, walk in the home before the parent could say no, tell the parent that they want to hangout with them and want them to call when they need anything. There job is to supervise the parolee, not the parent, nothing personal, making the parent feel unsafe, making her feel like she has to go along with something so nothing happens to her or her child behind her rejecting his advances. It is my responsibility to call out on the predator because he is not the only one that continue to do what he does. I will personally be assisting the mother to pursue whatever action she deems fit at this point in time. Justice will be served on the officer who I am unable to name at this time. No parole officer has the right to use his power and authority to get his personal needs met! This predator use his position as a way to manipulate and predatorize a mother and when he couldn’t get what he wanted, he proceeded to contact his supervisor to inform them that he was feeling a little uncomfortable with some of the personal information that the mother was sharing, however, he was sharing information about his life and his daughter and telling her where he think she should relocate to as a way to get her to trust him and to sleep with him, He was unethical and certainly unprofessional and now all of a sudden he is feeling uncomfortable? No he was manipulative, dishonest, cunning and deceitful and made her fear for her safety because of his position as a parole officer.

I'm from PA, was stopped for speeding in NY State. The Officers' ran my information and on return informed me my driving privilege's were suspended in NYS from a 1993 incident. Had no clue I was suspended in NY, in 1993 I had a 90 day suspension. Turns out NYS DVM requires a $25 fee to re-instate your driving privilege's before a suspension is lifted. This was just a little something the DMV and State forgot to mention. I was charged with speeding and driving under suspension. I contacted the James Riotto Law Office to represent me, they were wonderful. I did not need to appear in any court or hearing as they appeared for me and residing 2 hours away in PA, that was worth the Attorney's fee. When it was all settled and finished, I agreed to pay $250 for a Defensive Driving course and all charges were dismissed. In total it cost me around $750, considering I was facing thousands of dollars in fines, points on my license, increased insurance premiums and a misdemeanor charge, the Riotto Law Firm did an excellent job. They kept me well informed throughout the process and fought for me without being present. I would highly recommend the James Riotto Law Firm.

Jim and his team are always knowledgeable and professional. Jim's diverse background gives him a unique perspective into the legal system.

Mr. Annechino is an excellent attorney. Super responsive and very knowledgeable. I feel way better about my court matter since retaining John.

This attorney (crook) took money for services from my father and never rendered services hired for. After 4 years of being non responsive to calls he tried to bill my father a second time for services he was already charged for? Stating “he would knock a couple hundred off this time” not accounting for what he failed to do the first time. In turn this has caused further loss to my father. In my opinion elder abuse.

He lied about everything, kept wanting more and more money..just a horrible experience.Sent some other lawyer to represent himself in court and the replacement did nothing but dance around, even the judge was appalled by his actions.. Yes you do know me..I still have all the paper work and text from you.

John represented me in my divorce. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was always available when I had questions or needed to talk. He helped me through a very difficult time and would highly recommend him.

John provided my company with extensive experience during a highly stressful business event we were going through. He not only helped us incorporate, but has provided legal consulting through out the life of our company. His support and legal expertise truly helped our company not only survive, but grow.

Charged us $7500 to retain.. James tyner refused bail for a client basically leaving him in jail until he was ready! Never returned calls or emails at all! Also he had me meet him on a day their office was closed in a dark parking lot where the office is located with his wife and child just to get money for retainment fee! Very unprofessional! He claimed his wife is his secretary! After firing this attorney he then charged Us for any phone call to his office we made (NOT TALKING TO HIM DIRECTLY) ,lied on how many visits to the jail he made and etc ..with 3 weeks if that involved in a case 1 court appearance and 2 jail visits he gave us nearly $2400 back! NEVER CHOOSE THIS ATTORNEY THE WHOLE FIRM IS UNPROFESSIONAL the secretary has rockstar colored hair and talks like a child!

I am so very thankful for this lawyer. He is extremely intelligent, fair, and prides himself in his work. I was able to sleep well because I knew my case in was in exceptional hands. I feel like finding a good lawyer is next to impossible, you will be grateful if you found this one.

Unethical business practices. Charged us $7500 for sending emails and some phone calls. Please use someone that will properly use your money and defend you properly. We asked for an itemized bill and never got one, no return emails. Very disappointed in this attorney.

I was referred to Mr. Tyner from a fellow colleague and I was more than impressed with the way he handled my case. From the first consultation, to the final decision, he thoroughly explained each step of the process. There was open communication which I found very helpful. I never hesitated to call and he was always there to answer any and all of my questions or concerns I had. He is very professional, efficient, and detail oriented. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Tyner in the future.

I have hired James Tyner to assist me with a few speeding tickets in New York State. I paid Mr. Tyner an affordable flat rate fee and I never had to appear in Court, thus not missing any time from work or school. Mr. Tyner was able to negotiate my speeding tickets down to parking tickets and I was able to keep my license clean. I highly recommend Mr. Tyner's office. He and his staff respond quickly to emails/calls, and I was always provided updates in my cases promptly.
