You will not be disappointed, very professional and detailed. They handled my Aunts PI case, she was very happy with her outcome. Would highly recommend.

Nothing but praise for this man - Atty. Tacopina is a highly respected lawyer whom I owe the honor of saving me thousands of dollars in litigation fees. Should I run into the law again, I know who to call. This man will not hesitate to represent you when you need him the most!

Nothing but gratitude - I contacted the law firm of Atty. Joe Tacopina because I was charged with a DUI and he negotiated impressively with the court. I thought I would have to pay a hefty fine but Mr. Tacopina was able to dismiss the charges. Wow! Highly recommended lawyer.

My faith in our country's legal system was restored having been under the care of Atty. Joe Tacopina two years ago. Yes, THAT Joe Tacopina on the newspapers. I didn't expect for Atty. Tacopina to take an interest in my case because I honestly thought I was done for. But Atty. Tacopina never looked and treated me like I was a criminal. He gave me the best possible defense for my case for attempted theft and fraud. When we took it to court, Atty. Tacopina was there with my wife and I throughout the entire ordeal. Big thanks to this man!

Great lawyer! I hired Mr. Joe Tacopina as my personal injury lawyer because I sustained a major injury at work. It was very painful to get up every morning after I had a bad fall and injured my back (I work in construction). I thought I'd be paralyzed for life! Mr. Joe Tacopina took the trouble to explain to me my rights and he won the maximum amount for me as compensation. Since then I've been slowly working at getting back and the reward I received has been a tremendous help at that. Thank you Atty. Tacopina for all what you've done.

I paid $250 to discuss my case and spoke to a female name Marissa I think and she said that they could take my case and to think about it so I did. She called back like 5 days later asking me if I made up my mind and I said I needed to rule out some other possibilities. So I did that and when I called back the following week they initially answered the phone but the guy that did acted hesitant and I asked for the lady to call me back about the case. No one ever did. I called them and they picked up the phone and hung up and I thought it was an accident so I called again and they did the same thing. So very rude, not professional and not responsive after I had paid them.

This is a place where business is PRIORITY. Just in December you brought a man who was well overdue for justice to his mercy for me and my family. You worked hard and fought for us and brought a guilty man to his prime. Thank you Attorney Ryan Blanch and partner (lawyer) Esq. Londyn Rivera for putting my word first.

I just got of the phone with Debra one of the case managers of the law firm and she was very helpful and informative. The law firm is very professional and responsive. They patiently listened to our case and Debra provided me with alternatives to our case and gave me useful information on filing complaints to the BBB and the Consumer Complaint Bureau. They are a firm you would want to work with because they have patient and helpful people who are genuinely willing to help. Thank you for the assistance!

thank you to Diane and London for finished my case On JAn.6,2021 and sentencing a man to 86 yeard for the murder of my brother. Apreciate It

Sakkas , Cahn & Weiss, LLP is great law firm. Very professional response. They very detail always answered your question. Great knowledge workers and attorneys. I will recommend them to anyone who needs professional trustful help. I’m very thankful to Adam Cahn for helping me.

When I began my journey through my malpractice case I certainly wasn’t prepared for what lied ahead - Adam Cahn and his team (especially Kim) always had my back and always told me the truth. I am so very grateful for all that he did and truly a “stand up” guy - his boys may not see it now but I can assure him that he is a great power of example in his work ethic, professionalism and empathy. The practice is an amazing organization that was not only professional, caring and thorough but more importantly the obvious loyalty, dedication (and friendship) permeates throughout. Adam is one of the “good guys” and for that I am extremely grateful. Being able to take a deep breath and put this all behind and tackle whatever is in store for me seems like a option now - one I will take. Thank you!

I initially hired another law firm to handle my case. I found myself constantly calling them for updates and they never had any answers. After two years I switched law firms and hired Sakkas, Cahn and Weiss. They explained the process clearly, called me with updates and settled my case in less than six months. My brother had a case and switched as well. He also loves them. These guys get great results, and have an amazing staff, but more important is their bedside manner - this is the firm you want representing you.

I’m a Los Angeles attorney. An old client of mine called me to say that he had been in a bad automobile accident in New York City and was unhappy with his lawyer. I referred him to Adam Cahn, Esq at Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP. My client called to tell me how thankful he was that I recommended this firm. They got him a terrific result in a very expeditious manner. During the process they also get me in the loop with letters updating the status. If you are looking for a great law firm, I give them my highest rating.

I found Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss on Super Lawyers and they lived up to their billing - they outlined the process for me, always took my calls and kept me both informed and prepared for each phase of the case. Then they settled my case for an amount that beat all my expectations. By the time this case was over I considered them family. I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking justice.

My experience from day one working with J.K Goldberg was amazing relief! It has been absolute clarity, respect, and confidence. At the most disheartening time in my life, where trust was essential, our communication never faltered. I was consistently reassured and given hope and never once had to doubt if things were being executed at the highest level. If you are looking for experience at the highest level and need representation that will fight for you and are not consumed with greed..work with the guys that will work with you! I highly recommend Goldberg & Allen L.L.P

JK was amazing from start to finish. My husband was falsely accused in a criminal case and JK provided amazing advice and fought for my husband every step of the way. The victims statement was eventually recanted and JK's counsel on what my husbands rights were was always on point. It was a long 9 months that our family was seperated but I always felt confident with having JK Goldberg as an attorney. Great attentive lawyer who you can call and ask for advice when feeling unsure of things.

Jay Goldberg i have know for a decade in my life. He been an amazing lawyer you can ever meet. He is a classic smart man and has a passion for his job. You can ask him anything, he like a dictionary you can go straight to him and he teaches you everything it is to know about your case. He never changes he holds alot of character. He makes his clients feel welcomed and a true ???? winner. He is worth his weight in gold. ????"Thank you Jay for your service and making a big difference in many lives" . ????

Highly recommended! Jay went above and beyond what he was hired to do and ultimately got the results I was hoping for. Very professional ,very personable and an all around good guy. Like I told Jay after all was said and done - "I hope I won't need legal representation in the future, but if I do, you're my guy!" And I honestly meant it. And he was a pleasure to work with. And I'll say it again, "I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jay and his firm!"

I was visiting in New York this past July and was arrested at LaGuardia for carrying a stun gun of all things. We are allowed to carry in Florida and I forgot it was in my purse. A very honest mistake with very serious consequences. Jay K. Goldberg was referred to me by an Attorney here in Orlando. Lucky me. Jay is a true Professional. He took care of everything easily and painlessly. I did not receive a fine and the case will be dismissed and records sealed in 6 months. Jay is a very warm and friendly person. Treated me with respect and understanding ~ very comforting in such a stressful situation. I highly recommend Jay and his firm to anyone in need of a Criminal Attorney.

They don't call him the Acquittal King of New York for nothing. I have worked with Troy for over 10 years. In that time I have seen him help 100's of clients with their criminal cases and expungements, defending them against major felonies, murder charges, and even sex crimes. Troy is on of the best criminal defense attorneys in Manhattan. If you need a good criminal lawyer, look no further.

We had a serious criminal matter in the family that needed immediate attention. Troy worked with us and explained all of our options. He is an aggressive criminal defense attorney that will go the extra mile in your defense. After achieving an acquittal of all criminal charges, Troy was able to get an expungement of all records. We cannot thank Troy enough for his help during this time. We would recommend his law office to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney in New York.

I have known Troy Smith for approximately 20 years. He is the best of the best. NYC is full of lawyers, many of whom suffer from over sized egos and even bigger waistlines. Troy Smith is the real deal who walks the walk, earning himself the nickname of "Acquittal King." I have been practicing law with and watching Troy in action for my entire career. If myself, a loved one or close friend were ever charged with a crime, Troy would be on my Dream Team - without hesitation! If you have been accused of a crime and are serious about saving your life and liberty, Troy is your first choice for criminal defense representation in NYC.

IF I COULD LEAVE 0 STARS, I WOULD!!!!! THESE ATTORNEYS ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE, THEY ARE FOR MILITARY DEFENSE ONLY!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Troy. He truly is one the smartest and most capable lawyers you will find in New York. Not only that, he has a manner that will make you feel at ease during a difficult time. There is no one else I would go to, I can promise that you will feel confident with Troy in command of your situation. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying I was hit by someone else's material falling from above on a construction site. From the moment I started dealing with David Hoffman I knew I was in good hands. He went above and beyond on even the smallest detail. He helped me with everything from finding the right doctors to settling my case with the least amount of added stress to me in a very fashionable and timely manner. I just can't say enough good things about this firm. They must have written the book on how this is all supposed to work. For the life of me I never thought that my dilemma could go so smooth and I would be so happy with the results. Thank You So Much

Joseph Stoduto and the Wingate Russotti sharpin law firm are the best law firm in New York City I put my word as a man on this , I needed a spinal fusion and was in pain but was scared to go through with it , Joseph went above and beyond his duty as a lawyer and called me in the middle of the night to console me tell me he understood and assure me I’ll be okay , I got the surgery and feel great! Thanks to the prestige doctor Andrew Cordiale! That Joseph referred me to , After the surgery Jospeh reached out to check on me and tell he was glad I was okay , this is a lawyer someone who has a passion for what he does and doesn’t only see dollar signs in ppl if you read this review believe me this man knows what he’s doing.

From the beginning, as soon as Steve Wagner took my case, he was very attentive and always kept me informed step by step on how my case was going. He answered all my questions and concerns. Honestly he went above and beyond and fought for everything in my case. I would recommend this firm and especially Steve Wagner to anyone!

First-class law firm, very responsive. I have worked with Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro & Halperin, LLP law firm on multiple occasions, and every interaction with them was very professional. They are always quick to respond to my concerns and questions. I appreciate their client-centric approach, as they always go above and beyond for the benefit of their clients. When gathering information for the cases, they appeared to be laser-focused, making sure no stones remained unturned.

Our experience with this law firm was very very very very good. they took care of all my needs and they were very professional in handling my case and i was happy with my reward. I would like to encourage anyone who might need a good law firm to use them.

Mr. Leigh is the definition of dedication and hard-work. He's my 1st experience with a lawyer (I hired his law firm to represent me in two separate cases) ... and every time it was an excellent experience. David's completely hands-on, remarkably attentive, asked all the right questions, constantly looked into me, and prepared me for any and every single possibility. He is additionally exceptionally competent. I always recommend Mr. Leigh to family and friends they were all happy with the outcome of their car accident cases. I think about him to be like family simply because that's how hard he worked with me and that he expressed compassion for my condition. Selecting Mr. Leigh is a decision you will not regret.

I simply have to show my gratitude to David and his team for everything you have done for me about my personal injury case. They were the most polite, experienced, efficient, and amazing law office staff I have ever dealt with. They were consistently readily available to respond to any concerns I had and guided me thru the entire lawsuit. They made it feel like I was their only client. I felt like family. David and his team know the ins and outs of the legal system and agreed to only the absolute best outcome for me. I am so happy with the result of my lawsuit and I highly recommend them. There are no words to express my appreciation for what you have done for me, outstanding service, and remarkable outcome. Thank you again!

When someone you love requires the help of a quality civil rights lawyer, then do get David's help. I'm so grateful that my Google search led me to David. After talking with a couple of other attorneys in the area, I understood instantaneously that he was our guy. I trusted that he would certainly do the job. I was ultimately able to be at ease knowing that my loved one is in capable hands. Thank you David for everything you've done.

David Leigh was professional, rational, level-headed and had our interest in mind at all times. He is just the person you need to represent you. He would ask for facts and what we desired. He counseled us and was always patient and considerate. I hope I never have to go through this situation again but I will absolutely call him again should I need his help. He has your back and fights with you.

David S. Leigh is the best. The team from this law office was extremely helpful from starting my case to settling it. If you want to pick the most effective car accident lawyers then go with this firm. And if you want to win your claim then this lawyer is the only choice. These are the guys that will get you there. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Any attorney can research the law, write a brief, and call themselves an Appellate Attorney, Scott Horn is so much more. He thinks through issues, and works with you to win your case. Whatismore, he will turn away work if he thinks the issue is not ripe for an appeal. In my 30+ years of practice Scott Horn has been very successful representing my office as Appellate Counsel on a variety of matters. He has taken complicated, convoluted records and clarified them through his self initiated visits to the County Clerk, a task not normally undertaken by an Appellate Lawyer. One of my cases reached the New York Court of Appeals where Scott won against two of the strongest Appellate Attorneys in New York State. Scott is thorough, professional, thoughtful, and very smart. I highly recommend Scott Horn for any appellate matter.

I feel very fortunate and grateful to have been represented by Richard Mischel of Mischel & Horn. His knowledge and experience in litigating similar matters was clear from the outset and he gave me a sense of confidence that I needed to win the petition. Richard was very diligent in his preparation at all stages of the matter and from the first meeting until the last his representation was exceptional. He was approachable, easy to talk to and always well informed about the progress of the case. Richard and his firm fight for you as if they are fighting for themselves, and for that I will always be grateful. It is not just his command of the law and his ability to present the best possible case, but also his compassion and emotional support that made me a better client. I will always be indebted for his genuine compassion and sincerity that he displayed from the very beginning till the very end of the case. Thank you, Richard and his entire team.

This firm is very professional. I have used this firm for an appeal and they did a great job. We won and the case ultimately settled for seven figures. Scott is the best appeal attorneys in New York City.

Scott Horn was an excellent lawyer . Having a traumatic brain injury made it difficult for me to understand everything going on . Scott took his time with me and promptly returned my emails and calls and thoroughly explained to me each step of the process. He was determined to win this appeal . I’ve dealt with a lot of law firms and I must say I was quite pleased with their hard work and personal knowledge of every aspect of my case . I highly recommend Mische & Horn Pc especially if you want your mind at ease that you have a great firm working on your case !!

Mr. Horn is an amazing lawyer ; he is very meticulous , detailed and leaves no stone upturned in the defense of his clients . He went above and beyond as a lawyer , he is a lawyer who is caring about his clients issues and difficulties it is rare to find a lawyer who is the best in his field and yet very caring . He did everything and won my case , he also is very caring and compassion . You are in extremely good hands with Mr. Scott Horn . He is simply the best appeals lawyer .
