I don't have a ton of experience with lawyers or courts or small claims and I suppose that's a good thing but having seen and heard them cast in a negative light in the media or through friends and family I was a bit hesitant to engage one. But due to the nature of my problem (small claims court, where I was the claimant) I felt it was necessary when I found out that the defendant's insurance company was providing an attorney to the defendant. I called several places and I was met with lawyers that were either unresponsive, apathetic and uncaring, further perpetuating my negative view of them. To be honest, I had almost given up and with little expectation I called Corash & Hollender PC. After briefly describing my situation to the secretary I was surprised to be immediately transferred to Mr. Richard Corash. Mr. Corash, listened to my situation and then did something rather unexpected. He gave me free advice and told me exactly what I should do. I was shocked. He basically outlined a few steps for me to take and said, 'if you get a settlement using this method, great! No fee is due us. Take care." Did I mention I was shocked? I followed his suggestions but to no avail. I called him back two additional times. Each time he took my call and made additional suggestions. It ultimately wasn't effective as I had hoped but my faith in lawyers had been somewhat restored and because Mr. Corash had tried be helpful without requiring anything in return, I set up an appointment to meet with him and one of his associates, Mariam Zakhary. I met with Mr. Corash and Mrs. Zakhary, described the case and hired them on the spot feeling confident due to Mrs. Zakhary's extensive experience with litigation. Fast forward to small claims court on 6/18/2015. Not only did Ms. Zakhary come fully prepared clearly having boned up on case law, she did an excellent and thorough job that evening. It was a pleasure to watch her in action and immediately after the arbitration meeting I told her, regardless of the outcome, how pleased I was with her work and preparation and thanked her for her efforts. I wasn't all that surprised when I heard from her a few days later to notify me that WE HAD WON....100% of the claim, no less. My family was THRILLED with the outcome. It's good to know that if I ever have an issue, I know exactly who to call. And if friends or family were to ask me for a recommendation for an attorney, it would be Mrs. Mariam Zakhary of Corash & Hollender PC. read more

Mr. Hollander and paralegal Brian Palma recently handled my bankruptcy case and the process was amazing! To begin, I was not happy to be in the position of bankruptcy as I am sure everyone else feels the same way. I never expected to ever have to do this. Things in life happen and I was at the end of the road with nowhere to turn. So I decided to would look up bankruptcy lawyers. Corash and Hollander came up with great reviews and so I decided to submit a request for a consultation. I received a call that same day and I set up an appointment. We made one that was convenient for me since I work a good distance away and have limited time on SI. So I really appreciated that they could accommodate me with my crazy schedule. I had my consultation with Mr. Hollander and from the minute I sat down I knew everything would be ok. Mr. Hollander was very professional, knowledgeable, straight forward, caring and understanding. He put me at ease and my fears and guilt started to melt away. The process went very smooth. Brian Palma the paralegal who handled all my paperwork/case was also wonderful. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, caring and was right there with any questions I may have had. Thank you too Mrs. Gadek. I am extremely happy I decided to do this with Mr. Hollander and his staff. I also learned a lot . I was given the tools I need going forward to build my new financial future. It was a great experience. I get to start 2018 with a new outlook and clean slate. I couldn't have done it without you. I can't begin tell you how grateful I am. Thank you all so much for everything!! -Lynne S. read more

I called Corash & Hollender to make an appointment to discuss several personal and business legal issues. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get an appointment the next day. Upon my arrival, the administrative staff was extremely professional, cordial and welcoming. I have had several attorneys over the past fifteen years that handled Real Estate, Divorce, Corporate and Immigration legal issues for me. I was not too content with many of the outcomes so I was skeptical to meet with yet another attorney. My previous attorneys always rushed through the consultation and immediately discussed their retainer fees. Paul Hollender ACTUALLY LISTENED to the several legal issues that I had. We had an intelligent dialogue that was not one sided. He was compassionate, extremely knowledgeable with the issue at hand. I spent two and a half hours with him. AMAZINGLY, he came up with a solution for the legal issue I had at hand. Wow! I could not believe that after dealing with so many attorneys in the past, I finally found one that was more interested in resolving my legal issue than discussing a retainer fee. Corash & Hollender have now become my family attorneys for life. They are a diamond in the rough. A true gem for the legal profession. read more

Paul Hollander is a gift from God. Mr. Hollander, saying thank you is not worthy enough for you. You actually got me my life back. My doctor literally lowered my anxiety meds. Even though I am still on disability, I am allowed to make a certain amt. of money. So now I have a part time job! Just a few hours a week. Mediblue Health accepted me in their suppliment plan. Along with medicare, I now have practically full medical coverage. I am working on rebuilding credit by using a debit card & actually have a credit card with a small limit. (dont worry, its for emergencies only)! My next step is to meet with B.Gadek. You are such a wonderful, caring, sympathetic man. You allowed me to have a nice holiday with mom (& puppy). I will give your name to ANYONE who needs help. God bless and be with you, for you were my miracle. Nicole Matarese read more

I was recommended to Corash and Hollender, PC 14 years ago when I unfortunately had to go bankrupt. Paul Hollender and his amazing staff made a stressful, nerve wracking situation as easy and smooth as possible. Especially his assistant Casey. Both Casey and Paul were kind and reassuring. I recently went back to see them. Unfortunately, my financial situation took a turn and my husband and I needed some guidance. Casey is still there all these years later and still the same comforting presence. Paul, as usual, was kind and generously offered us his guidance. I HIGHLY recommend Corash and Hollender! if you find yourself in an unfortunate financial situation they are truly here to help. read more

Paul Hollender was referred to us by a trusted friend and we totally understand why after spending some time with Paul earlier in the week. After a lifetime of work, my financial certainty turned to total uncertainty. The weight of that drove us to the conclusion that we could not do it alone. The pressure was too much. Paul took the time to assess the situation and provide actionable steps to take the large problem and reduce it to more manageable pieces. We have a trusted ally now and we find a great deal of comfort in that. read more

I have practiced bankruptcy law for over 25 years. Paul Hollender is my competitor. He cares about his clients and works hard for them. I have seen him in court many times over the last 20 years. I have no interest in writing this review other than to share my personal view of his qualifications and dedication to clients. The one star review seemed unfair and inaccurate. read more
