Eric responded immediately and got the court date rescheduled. He did an amazing job with the prosecutor and received results that were amazing.

I will recommend him over and over again.

Unlike others who are intimidating, insensitive and driven by the bottom line; he invites trust and a real relationship with his clients. I know that I can count on him. Thank you John :)

She was late and hung up the phone 10 minutes before the 30-minute consultation was over.

I'm absolutely frustrated as I could have spent more and consulted with a real professional, which she failed to act as.

Since they keep hiding my google review .. here's this one.. My experience with this law firm was…read moreabsolutely devastating horrible unprofessional. Let's start off by the fact that I only ever spoke to the actual Lawyer Patricia Machado one time since I hired them in March 2020 to my case was denied in September 2022 . They gave me the complete wrong information on how to file for a US citizenship for my daughter who was born abroad they gave me the complete wrong information they gave me the wrong forms to fill out they told me that I had to purchase a money order of $1171 finally went all the documentation and forms are done I received my appointment at the US Embassy and the US Embassy agent out of his mouth to my face said that this law firm scammed me out of my money, they denied my application because according to the US law to be able to transfer your citizenship to your child you need five years of proof of living income and status in the US prior to your child's birth. This law firm states that you only need 1 year of proof prior to your child's birth which is completely false information... On September 2022 the US Embassy denied my daughters application for US citizenship transfer through me because I did not have enough proof of living in the US even though the law firm said I only needed one year the US Embassy said you need five years. So finally when I called them to let them know that my application was denied because they gave me the wrong information they said that they did not provide this information to me that they said that they they did initially provide this information but that they sent out new information and that I should've followed their instructions but they never told me in the first place at the first information that they gave me was wrong they never said that I had the clear documentation communication between the law from an eye through email and through text and it clearlt shows the wrong information they gave to me. The first information they gave me all the forms and documents I needed to fill out and send with proof as well as a money order oF $1171 was asked for by the law firm and when I got to the US Embassy they said they did not need this and that I should've never been told to get this money order for the US Embassy I even have the proof when they asked for it and then later on in our conversations they said I didn't need it but that was already after my case was denied... So who do we listen to a law firm that takes money from you or the United States Embassy? Anyways I just disputed the transactions that they did on my account through my bank . my bank gave me back all my money but now the law firm is trying to get that money back even though they provided me with absolutely zero service because my application was denied And the wrong information was given. I believe this law firm just tries to hold onto their customers as long as they cancel they can take out as much money as they possibly can . I do not recommend this law firm do not speak to these people they will not help you.

**Caution Advised Before Retaining This Firm**…read more Based on my experience with Maya Murphy, LLP, I cannot recommend their services. My full story is below if you care to read on, but here are alternative firms to engage in CT and NY: **Connecticut** * Lucas and Varga, LLC: [https://lucasvargalaw.com](https://lucasvargalaw.com) * Richard L. Pate Law Offices: [https://www.richardlpateconnecticutemploymentlawyer.com](https://www.richardlpateconnecticutemploymentlawyer.com) **New York** * Granovsky & Sundaresh PLLC: [https://g-s-law.com](https://g-s-law.com) * Phillips & Associates: [https://www.newyorkcitydiscriminationlawyer.com](https://www.newyorkcitydiscriminationlawyer.com) While initial consultations were promising and the firm appeared engaged after I paid a \$5,000 retainer, the quality of service quickly declined. Communication became sporadic, and billing lacked transparency--there were long stretches with no updates, followed by a sudden, substantial bill. After partial payment, they indicated they would no longer negotiate on my behalf unless the outstanding amount was paid in full. At several points, it appeared the firm prioritized their fees over my case. Promises of strong representation and an optimistic outcome did not materialize. In fact, the handling of the matter ultimately weakened my position, and the final settlement amount covered mostly legal fees--with little benefit to me as a client. Key issues I experienced include: * Long periods with no attorney contact * Last-minute reassignment to a different lawyer with little context * Missed or delayed meetings * Poor communication and apparent lack of case familiarity * Settlement pressure with little room for discussion These concerns mirror those raised in other negative reviews. I urge potential clients to research thoroughly and consider alternative firms before proceeding. This review reflects my personal experience and is intended to help others make informed decisions.

What should have been a straightforward lawsuit became a maze of questionable legal maneuvers which appeared to have no purpose but to extend the litigation and charge us for it.

In what was my first encounter with the justice system, I was lost and scared. For someone used to…read morethe pace of the corporate world, it was quite frustrating in addition to being completely unfamiliar. After speaking with two other larger firms and being made to feel like just another small and insignificant case, I selected Mr. Saraceni from an online search and gave him a call. He listened carefully to my explanations and questions, and gave me honest, realistic feedback. I immediately felt like I had reached someone who understood my situation and was knowledgeable and qualified to guide me through it. At each step of the way he explained what was happening and what would most likely happen next. His prior experience as a police officer gave him insight that others might not have had. His knowledge of the law and of others involved in law enforcement and the court system allowed him to paint a complete picture of the proceeding for me. I came away from each conversation with him feeling calmer and more confident. In the end I believe he achieved the best possible result for me, one I am quite satisfied with. If I ever find myself in a similar situation (which I sincerely hope I do not), he will be the first person I call. I'm thankful I connected with James and would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal advice or representation.

My grandparents' inheritance was left behind in an Israeli bank that had since been dissolved and…read moretaken over by a new bank. This was a very challenging matter, and Rahav assisted me. The fact that one of my grandparents died in Iran, with which Israel has no touch, more than 22 years ago only made matters worse. Rahav was able to expertly lead me through each stage of the procedure, from beginning to end, despite the case's complexity. He was incredibly responsive and professional, making sure I was informed of every step and that all of my queries were swiftly addressed. He was always willing to talk with me and clarify any murky aspects of the matter. Given the complexity of the situation, Rahav had to go through a lot of hoops during the entire procedure to meet the demands of the bank. Notwithstanding these difficulties, he maintained his composure, dedication, and commitment to making sure that my matter was settled as swiftly and effectively as feasible. I appreciate everything!

Rahav is not professional! He blamed and yelled at me after causing long delays in my probate case…read moredue to his own mistakes in entering people's ID numbers on forms and said an apostille was not needed where it was in fact required to proceed with my probate case. He had me sign documents that had other clients' names on them, instructing me to change them to my own name, which I believe breaches clients' confidentiality. He tried and failed to charge me an extra $5K for helping to transfer my deceased mother's bank funds to me, a fee which was never part of our signed agreement. He withheld wages from his own courier for $5K for services rendered because Rahav falsely claimed he was entitled to a referral fee for providing the courier with the work for me in handling my mother's possessions, for which I paid the courier directly. Rahav also ordered me to send him signed documents urgently via FedEx for $38 when a simple USPS mailing would have cost $1 and arrived in a timely manner. After I fired Rahav, he tried and failed to sue me for the money we agreed I would pay him IF HE sold my mother's apartment, which he never sold at all. He even tried to put a lien on the property, and refused to return my mother's financial documents that I let him borrow for property research purposes, while still demanding money he didn't earn from me. I had to hire another attorney to sell the apartment and countersue Rahav for negligence. He frivolously dragged this petty lawsuit out for two more years, lied to our judge about the mistakes he made, presented sloppily compiled "evidence" that clearly failed to support his case, and we both wasted time and lost money over his futile attempts against me in the end. His litigation and communication skills are subpar and didn't match his polished website, which is misleading. He also sues and/or gets sued by many of his other clients whose cases he handles, according to his colleagues. DO NOT HIRE RAHAV AHARONI! Edit: Hours after this review was posted, Rahav threatened me with another unwinnable lawsuit, this time for "slander," which he should know is the incorrect legal term in this case. Attached are the most recent emails between us as evidence of both lawsuit threats, and I possess all the text and email evidence and court records plus witnesses to prove the veracity of every detail written here. In the public interest, I will keep this post updated as the story develops.
