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.

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.

Lance is great. I hired him for representation in a messy situation and he was able to get my case dismissed. Highly recommend him.

I think 5 starts is not enough !! Great human , professional, and know what is doing . Keep it up Mr Lance . Thanks !!

Lance is a great guy. I have hired him for his help in three different cases dating back to 2012. In my most recent case this past year, he hit a home run in the courtroom and had my DUI case dismissed. I can't explain what a great day that was for me. Worth every penny, Lance will definitely be my first call if I ever wind up in trouble again

They said they would call me back and no one did.

Mr.Fletcher is the TRUTH. He is calm, collected, honest and very knowledgeable. This was my first time getting into trouble so having to go to court new for me and honestly pretty scary. Mr.Fletcher made it such a smooth process and because of him my case was dismissed!! I can’t give enough praise. If you need help I highly recommend Lance Fletcher

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.

Todd & Team were incredible and provided amazing representation. From the beginning, they were always transparent and supportive. They worked closely with me to ensure that we took all the necessary actions for a desired result. Ultimately, the case worked out exactly as planned and I'm very happy with the outcome. Todd is extremely knowledgeable & experienced which made me feel very comfortable. He was accessible throughout the entire process and always made time to answer any questions. I was confident that the team always had my best interests in mind and worked hard to achieve the best results. I appreciate all of the help from Spodek Law Group and highly recommend their service!

Hello Todd! Thank you very much for all your hard and effective work! I would like to express my gratitude and admiration for your result and the result of your team's work. Always, every time, every meeting, every telephone conversation, I felt respect for me and your powerful vector for achieving results. I have always felt that you are doing everything possible and impossible, professionally, powerfully and subtly at the same time. A special admiration for Alex: quick mind, client focus, tirelessness, attention to detail, humanity. With today's result, talking about all this is even more pleasant, today is a day of happiness. Thank you so much! Best regards, Inna

Any encounter with the law brings major perturbation and can greatly change the path of your life. With me just graduating college my anxiety was through the roof. However, I was referred to this law firm and it was the best decision I made. I worked very closely with Alex, who was extremely helpful and kept my family and I in the loop at all times. Very easy to reach at anytime of the day. I am beyond grateful teaming up with Alex as he helped solving my case in a favorable matter. I was advise anyone working with Spodek law group especially Alex that they are in good hands.

I found this Law Firm on Google and based on the reviews that people posted decided to proceed with them. I was so glad to have picked them and work with them. The overall experience with them was great. Since my process started, my case was assigned to Ms. Abigail Miller. She was extremely helpful, explained the whole process in detail. My case was really sensitive, and she helped me throughout the process ensuring it remained discreet and confidential. Her outstanding traits were that she was very responsive (via email & portal) and empathetic. As a girl, I felt extremely comfortable sharing confidential details with her and asking which options to take. Since it wasn’t an easy case, she was super helpful in arranging a processor server and helping with all the logistics. During the entire process, Abigail and Todd had good communication amongst their team and the prices they stated were constant and transparent. There were no hidden costs and while talking to them I never felt they were money centric or forcing me to pay upfront before getting the process started. They genuinely wanted to make sure the case went in my favor. I was very comfortable with this law firm and i'm really grateful to have found them. If you do decide to select this law firm, I would highly recommend choosing Abigail!

Todd, Alex and the rest of the Spodek team are miracle workers. They came highly recommended to me from a family member when I desperately needed legal help. I felt so supported during the entire process. They were so compassionate & went above & beyond. They were there for me 24/7 & I would 100% highly recommend them! I was ecstatic with the outcome. Thank you very much Todd, Alex & the entire Spodek team for EVERYTHING!

From first-hand experience, I can see that Mr. Sidney truly cares about his clients and the outcome of their cases. He is honest, plain-spoken and doesn't beat around the bush. I would recommend him for your needs.

Lowell is a educated, and knowledgeable attorney who will keep you informed of your case at all times. He will ask all the right questions and get you the answers that you're looking for. He is professional and loyal to all of his clients. When choosing an attorney, look no further!!

I, unfortunately, can't say how sweet, caring etc etc they are because if that's the case, it would also come across in the first impression. I called for a consultation and advice on a situation I'm trying to deal with, and the response was really rude, and didn't expect for them to abruptly hangup on me. That's not something you want to do when someone, especially frantic and nervous, is trying to get advice on how to clear their name from potential charges.

Lowell always goes over and beyond the call of duty. I give nothing but the highest recommendation to him and his law firm as hes as reliable as they come. One is only as good as their word and Mr. Sidney's peers would say that he is an upstanding member of the community at large.

Lowell Sidney is competent, professional and knowledgeable. He is extremely dedicated to his clients and committed to assisting his clients in every way possible.

New York City’s finest Ali Najmi I had a very difficult case which would turn around my life completely if I was found guilty. Ali was able to reduced my case to what I needed for my specific circumstances and he succeeded. From day one he was honest and I followed his instructions to get my case resolve. He was always available to answer my emails and calls and kept me calm during that difficult time. I highly recommend Ali Najmi office, everyone was friendly and very helpful. Thank you Ali for everything and give me a second chance to succeed in life.

Ali and his team are smart, professional and a pleasure to work with. As an election lawyer on retainer he is proactive in preventing problems and sets his clients up for success. As a litigator he was is well prepared, creative and adept at thinking on his feet. I couldn’t recommend him and his team more highly.

Ali is very professional, would really recommend working with him. Ali took my DUI case and help me drop my case helping me get another shot at my daca which couldn’t be done if it wasn’t for Ali. Truly would recommend Ali and if he help win my case he can do the same for you.

Ali took my case over midway through. The original attorney I retained left me hanging and took my money. Ali was referred to me and after a quick look over my case files he gave me a full breakdown of how the case could be resolved and that’s exactly how it went. I highly recommend Ali and am thankful for his professionalism and his firms services. I hope to not need an attorney in the future but if I do Ali is my choice. I have recommended Ali to my family and close friends also. Thanks again Ali ????

I hired Ali Najmi to work on my case that was quite difficult and sensitive. I truly commend on the excellent legal services he provided in connection with my recent trial and every aspect leading up to it. Ali Najmi have all the attributes I expect in a successful attorney: knowledge and seasoned experience, aggressiveness, professionalism, integrity, strategic thinking, enthusiasm, and responsiveness. And as I spent many hours with Ali Najmi during my trial, I realized he epitomized each of these characteristics. I must say that Joy of your hard work behind the scenes did not go unnoticed and I thank you for it. “On a more personal note, I very much enjoyed working with you all. His staff is very proficient and courteous, as well. He has a lot of integrity, so I knew that I could trust him. That was vitally important and one of the biggest reasons that I would retain him again. In summary, you have earned my most enthusiastic recommendation and I will strongly recommend your Law firm to anyone needing legal representation in any area of law. Wish you best of luck.

Kristen was absolutely phenomenal. I have never had to use a lawyer before and with all the options in NYC, its tough knowing if you have the right one. But within my first phone call with her, she calmed me down and walked me through all my options. From then on, I knew I made the right choice. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. Her firm charged me very fairly and I am so thankful for her hard work and dedication. I will never hesitate to recommend her and her firm in the future!

Never did I think I would need to be represented by a criminal lawyer. But it happened and I couldn't be more pleased that Ms Rendelmen was my attorney. From my very first conversation with her I felt confident that she more than capable. Basically she knows her stuff. Ms Rendelmen was very professional yet forceful. In my case she didn't back down and stood up for me her client. She made sure that the process went as smoothly as possible .I can't thank her enough. If you're in need of an attorney look no more Ms. Rendelmen is who you need to go with. Trust you will not be disappointed.

After consulting with other attorneys, I chose to retain Julie for a criminal case last March. My experience is very much in line with the other 5-star reviews. She is transparent, compassionate, and very knowledgeable about the process. I felt that she and her colleague Kristen were immediately responsive and started working on the case as soon as possible. I had a personal line to both attorneys and could reach them 24/7/365, no matter the time, through text/call or e-mail. Julie is not hard to look up, so if you are are nervous about retaining her services, do your research online first. The attorney I met at my consultation was beyond what I expected. I feel I received the best outcome possible, and thanks to her suggestions, unfortunately or fortunately, have also received positive benefits in my personal life. If you want someone who pays attention to detail, is honest, responsive, experienced, sets realistic expectations, works diligently and remains available, whether it is Julie or Kristen, you will find that here. I encourage you to ask any and every question you have, I was always satisfied by their honest and useful responses. I will add, I didn't realize how much a client's part can play in these matters. Please do keep that in mind that when retaining counsel it is not "set it and forget it". You must actively participate in your own defense. So the question isn't just "what can my attorney do for me", but "what can you do with their recommendations"

She's a very smart and clever lawyer she's very professional I have been involved in a felony case she got me dismissed I didn't even been to the court she is doing her job very well you can contact her anytime she will respond she's the only one who makes me feel so comfortable , she’s been working on all my stuff to release it back and she did it god plus her for reall

I can't recommend Julie Rendelman's services highly enough. Not only was she hyper-responsive and quickly made herself available whenever I had a concern; she is a skillful, masterful negotiator who went to the mat for me and resolved my case quickly. She is a straight-shooter, yet sensitive and empathetic. I felt confident and assured having her intelligence, experience, and tenacity on my side.

I cannot thank Matthew Galluzzo enough for his help with my legal needs. He is professional, kind, and talented. Thank you so much

I am a finance professional and green card holder. I was charged with theft of service (taxicab) on two separate occasions (the second instance had an assault charge thrown into the mix as well). In both cases I knew I was not guilty, but was an anxious mess nonetheless having had no prior experience with the law and fearing the possibility of deportation. To compound matters, in both instances I had to travel across the border several times while the case was still open. Matthew was very gracious about dealing with my anxiety and was always available to discuss my case. He is clearly passionate about what he does and about fighting for his clients. He has a confidence about him where you just know you're in great hands. He's a great lawyer, but a really good person as well! He is a down to earth and is very understanding of your situation. In both cases he got me the result I needed and my border crossings went smoothly due to the letters he wrote for me and immigration lawyers he proactively consulted with to weigh in on my situation. I cannot express enough how much I would recommend him for any legal need! In particular for those -like myself -who are not US citizens. A total class act.

An amazing attorney! 5.0 stars Posted by anonymous June 12, 2018 Flag Mr. Galluzzo is a very able and skilled attorney, who treats his clients with the utmost respect even in the most awkward of situations. Mr. Galluzzo was retained by my parents and not only did he manage to negotiate a very favorable deal on my behalf, he always made us feel comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Galluzzo to anyone seeking his above average legal skills and impeccable manners.

Mr. Galluzzo and his team at G&J are absolutely one of the best at what they do. The work tirelessly at getting the best possible result for the case at hand and they truly care about their clients. Galluzzo and his team were able to overturn and vacate my guilty plea, then taking a big risk where I could have faced a large amount of time in prison Galluzzo took my case to trial. He walked in there with the confidence and swagger as if he already knew everything would work out for me, he laid out every single fact and hole in the prosecutions case to the jury and came away with a full acquittal on every charge after just one hour of deliberations. In an instant, I had my life back! I would most certainly recommend Matthew and his team to anyone in need of legal help. Thanks again Matt!

I hired Mr. Galluzzo to represent me in a criminal case in Federal Court and he did a fantastic job from beginning to end! He assessed my case accurately, charged me a fair fee, always communicated with me promptly and worked very hard for me, until I was acquitted after a 4-day Jury trial. Originally after being arrested I rushed and hired a different attorney who was not advancing my case properly and was making obvious mistakes, in my opinion. After I paid this other attorney in full I was forced to fire him anyway and he would not even give me back my file. I was so fortunate to find Mr. Galluzzo, a great attorney, who took over my case, was very patient and understanding, he retrieved the necessary documents from the court and worked out a great winning defense strategy for me. Mr. Galluzzo is not only a highly knowledgeable and skilled attorney, but he is also a very good and caring human being. I am very grateful to Mr. Galluzzo for all he has done for me! I highly recommend him!
