Vince Finnochio handled my divorce and was excellent. I never thought such a favorable outcome was possible. The office gave me immediate updates and did an outstanding job explaining the process. No one ever wants to go through a divorce but this office made the process seamless. I highly recommend using them!

AWFUL lawyer. Is not honest and does not care what happens to innocent children as a result of his sheer shadiness. His last name should be Pinnochio instead of Finocchio.

Finocchio represented my ex wife against me on 2 occasions. He couldn't even remember her name. And he lost. Both times. I actually felt bad for her. All the reviews that state he is out for cash are dead on. Stay away.

I went to see Vince for a divorce. He is an honest straight forward guy. He talks fast but he gets results. He helped me through a difficult time in my life. I felt he was more upfront about what to expect than other attorneys. I cant Thank him enough.

English is out and our case turned over to Finocchio and the "office manager" is a witch. She sent out wrong information to 3rd parties without even speaking to us or Finocchio. Finocchio won't even call us and wants us to sit on our hands until February. I am so sad Caroline left, she was amazing. We are changing lawyers due to the incompetence and attitude from this "office manager". She is rude and inappropriately making moves to ruin cases.

Mr. Baska was one of the best lawyers that I have ever used I have been having him help resolve my 48 suspensions. weather your paying him $0 or $100,000 he treats you the same he makes it his duties to keep all his clients up to date every week especially if you are incarcerated and I'm like him mostly because Onondaga County Da tried to screw him and it just shows how he take his lawyer clients privately and he doesn't tell you things to give you false hope

Communication is key and Mr. Baska always keeps you informed & responds very fast when you need to contact him. I was very pleased that i was out of town with work and didnt have to go to court once very fast and easy.

Mr Baska was a great lawyer for me he meet with me every week and kept me informed. Even if it was no news he still came. He is a wonderful lawyer highly recommended

I highly recommend the Baska Law Firm to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. The laws can be unfair and unjust to anyone that might find themselves in a situation they would never have dreamed of being in; like myself. Attorney Jonathan M. Symer, Esq. represented me and was very dedicated and informative of everything concerning the matter at hand. Thanks again, Kurt W.

I hired Mr. Bombardo after researching attorneys very carefully. My husband is a powerful man with connections everywhere, and I needed someone who would not be intimidated and that I could trust to fight for me. Retaining Mr. Bombardo was one of the best decisions I ever made! He took the time to talk to me about all the issues in my case and all my fears and concerns. He answered every question I had. He fought hard for me from day one and even took my call late in the evening once when I had an emergency. He always return my calls promptly. My husband‘s attorney was very aggressive and tried to intimidate me into settling on my husband’s terms. Richard reassured me that his position was unreasonable and that it was a fight I should win. Richard went toe to toe with him and my husband’s strategy backfired. After two days of trial, he was forced to settle. I got a very favorable settlement, and I am eternally grateful for Richard’s representation and guidance through this most difficult of times.

Mr. Bombardo helped me out with a rough situation I was put in. I contacted many attorneys and none would help me in my case except Mr. Bombardo, and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Mr. Bombardo was respectful, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He helped me get the greatest result possible! I would recommend him and his law office to anyone and I certainly know where to turn to in the future of I need any legal advice or consultation! He was absolutely outstanding and I can't thank him enough for the incredible job and efforts he put into my case!

If you are looking for a divorce lawyer- do not use Richard Bombardo! There are countless reasons why not to use him. He quoted me two prices for uncontested and contested divorce. My ex and I walked in, signed papers with one small conversation lasting approximately 1 minute while in the office- he charged me for a contested saying we didn’t have things worked out prior, which I believe was $500 more. He then did not answer his phone when our papers should have been ready to sign- he left town for a few weeks and by the time he came back to town my ex wanted everything back that he had originally agreed to. I lost the house and a lot of money. He did not encourage me to go for any alimony even though my ex made 4 times as much as me. Then Richard sent me nasty messages acting as if he were the victim. I walked away from a seven year marriage to a narcissist only to google this guy and get treated like garbage even further. I would not recommend using him as a lawyer at all unless you want to get taken advantage of and walk away with nothing from your marriage and less money in your pocket from this lawyer.

Very prompt and knowledgeable

He is amazing!!! I’ve been using him as a lawyer for about 2 years now and he always got me the outcome I wanted/needed. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!

Let me start by saying this. I would not be where I am today if it was not for this firm. Ellie is hands down is the ONLY attorney I will use if needed in the future, and I will recommended her to anyone looking for guidance in any legal matter. Absolutely the best of the best! Over a year and a half of fighting a custody and support matter, Ellie was always in perfect communication and was always on point. She kept me on track, made me step back and think things through, and explained things in a way for me to understand completely. She always looked out for the best interest in myself and my family. I do not regret a single thing that has happened in this case because of her. Again, I could not be happier or more thankful! Thank you so much for everything!!! Darren D

We are working them on an adoption case and we have been met with love, grace patience etc. The process has been smooth sailing fast and efficient. We feel like old friends really. It's extremely processional but also casual where it needs to be. We feel safe protected and fought for. It does not feel like we are just a number and they are out to get our money

Super nice, polite, intelligent, listened to everything I said and answered all my questions. Thank you for being awesome

Ms.DeCoursey is a fair, honest, and ethical attorney. Her legal and professional correspondences on my behalf have consistently been timely, polished, and succinct. She is a kind person, and advised me sensibly. I found her professional approach rational, polished, and direct. She patiently responded to all my questions within reasonable timeframes. Her assistant Brenda Rager is wonderful, as is her entire firm's staff. She is a credit to her profession and I would recommend her to anyone.

I have worked with several lawyers for various reasons over the years and my experience with Jo Ann stands out as the best. She is the easiest to communicate with. If she cannot take a call, she is great about getting back with you promptly. She is also very detail oriented and she explains things in a way that you will actually understand. Her empathy and caring attitude are miles above other lawyers and her skills at accomplishing what her clients are asking for are also unmatched. As you can see, I am a fan of Jo Ann E Coughtry Attorney at Law and I highly recommend working them!

An amazing attorney who continues to be a resource for me. She has talked me off a ledge more times than I’d like to admit. She was very knowledgeable and helped me know just what to expect. Nothing has been more emotional in my life than the custody and support battle I went through and I am so glad I chose the right attorney for the job! I can’t say enough great things about her. Thank you Joann for being there for me and my family.

Jo Ann helped my partner and me through the divorce process. She is extremely knowledgeable about family law and skilled in the divorce process. She was able to walk us through the whole thing and keep us peaceful throughout. Now, as a happy family of three, but just with different houses, we are all eternally grateful to Jo Ann and her paralegal for all of the hard work and dedication they showed to us.

I never thought that after 30 years of marriage I would be looking for a divorce attorney, but I suddenly found myself doing just that. I called a trusted friend and asked for her recommendation because I knew she had gone through the process. Without hesitation she recommended Jo Ann E Coughtry Attorney at Law. I called and scheduled a consultation right away. Jo Ann was incredible and made the whole process so much less painful, thank you!

Sarah Wood was very professional in taking care of my step daughters name change. Her and her team work very well on handling the case and got it done in a very timely matter. I will be use her again for other things I need an attorney for.

I have called multiple lawyers and either have not received a call back or waited almost 2 weeks for a consultation and the lawyer had to leave the consultation for court and never called back. I was at a lost since I now needed a lawyer for court within a week. I called today and have an appointment tomorrow morning , Sharon was such a pleasure to speak with and very helpful. I can already tell this office actually CARES about their clients . Thank you for a great experience already!

My lawyer did not put much effort in it for me Easily bowled over by the other lawyer - zero fight. Not a strong legal team player. Not responsive to emails and would often go months without a word.

Superb! 10/10. I can’t say enough about the attorneys and staff at Donnellan & Knussman. They are professional, honest, reliable, and reputable. They have helped me with multiple family law and custody issues, and they have done so in a fast and cost-effective manner. Amy Knussman and her team are some of the most skilled, caring lawyers out there. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm. Having the right legal advice, as well as, education and guidance about the process right from the start is crucial – Donnellan & Knussman is where you need to go!

Very professional and courteous. They know what they are doing. I visited with Teresa Donnellan herself. I felt very comfortable speaking with her.

We have worked with Christian Root on a professional level and know him to be knowledgeable, compassionate and responsive. We have found him to be dependable with impressive work ethic. He is deeply rooted in the animal community, working with dogs and horses, and is often found doing pro bono work for several local non profits.

I have been working with Ryan Cooke for a while now my experience has always been very professional. Ryan is also very caring especially when advising on a case you feel like you have a friend in court. He is also very attentive to his clients. I would highly recommend him.

⚠️A CON ARTIST with a law degree , that's how I feel after meeting Ryan E. Cooke. I met with this man on 3/23/21 for a consultation after having talked to him for 45 minutes over the phone on 3/22/21. Ryan said he would charge me 1500 flat rate for all proceeding in family court until case resolves' and 1000 for trial, if it had to go to trial. I told him I was out of work and he said he would help me out. the contract that he gave me to review was in fact anything but helpful and in it stated the complete opposite of what we agreed to verbally. His contract is a two page robbery and leads people to a road of bankruptcy quickly , asking his clients to pay 1500 monthly with an additionally 10 percent interest charged on the 15th day of each month if you are late -is he a bank? and he charges these fees until case concludes. If you are going to charge people fees you should do it honestly and up front and charge those who have the money to give. I'm so happy I dogged this bullet and did not get into contact with this crooked attorney because Ryan E Cooke is a Crookie ,and you've been warned!

I just had my consultation with Ryan, and if I could give 100 stars, I would. Grade A professional! Talking to him was just like talking to a friend. Highly recommend!
