I found myself in need of a lawyer to represent me in two legal matters. The first was regarding…read moreSocial Security and the second case dealing with the Public Employees Retirement System, better known as (PERS). Like many people I had no idea where to turn. My professional caregiver strongly suggested that I speak with Erica J. Mandell because several clients had similar experiences with social security and they received favorable results from Ms. Mandell and Her services. I telephoned Her office and left my name and contact information. Ms. Mandell returned my call in less than one hour and arranged a consultation for the very next day. Ms. Mandell instructed me to bring along any paperwork that I received from the Social Security Office to the consultation meeting. After reviewing the paperwork and explaining exactly what was contained in the received paperwork and what responses were required, Ms. Mandell agreed to represent me in my cases. Ms. Mandell explained to me it was important to understand what was happening with the cases and She would walk me through everything. That was a promise She completely kept from start to finish. Erica Mandell explains confidentiality and that she would not speak or correspond with any person, medical professional, or other entity without my express written authorization. As with any government agency the rules and regulations can be extremely complex. The Social Security Administration and (PERS) are no different and no less complicated. As a regular person it can be very overwhelming. It was a great relief to have Ms. Mandell there to translate all those letters and documents into something I could understand. She explained what information they requested and required. And the order in which the returned documents needed to be processed. She explained the the out going paperwork was equally as important as incoming documents if the process was to proceed accurately. Step by step with exceptional detail and determination every I was dotted and every T was crossed. I was a difficult client as I was not very willing to discuss my conditions. Erica J. Mandell was able to listen and empathize with all that I am going through and more importantly was able to put the words to the required papers. That was something which I would never have been able to complete on my own. My Social Security Administration case was concluded. The results were favorable on my behalf. It was great relief to myself and my family. Even though all of the documentation was accepted on time and in order without errors or corrections my PERS case required in person testimony by myself, my family, and by medical professionals by an NJ State Judge. Ms. Mandell contacted all of those people and scheduled and spoke with them on my behalf. I think it is important to mention that having and advocate with you during the legal process is essential. I always felt that Ms. Mandell had my best interests in mind during the cases. When speaking with Her, She always referred to it as "our case". It was very clear she was there for me. Even after regular business hours and weekends. On many occasions I left messages on the office phone after hours and She returned my calls that night or early the next day even on the weekend. On more than one occasion Ms. Mandell came to my home when I was unable to travel to Her office. Erica Mandell came highly recommended, She is very knowledgeable and extremely trustworthy. Also extremely detail orientated. Ms. Mandell is very compassionate but a tough fighter with great communication skills who is driven by advocacy. These are just a few of the many reasons why I can without hesitation and with complete confidence endorse Erica J Mandell for any and all legal matters regarding (PERS) and or the Social Security Administration.

Brian, We want to thank you and your staff's dedicated approach to the law and working with us…read more The other night at dinner we were talking, and we've realized that over the years we have favorably accustomed ourselves to your style of addressing issues. For many years, we have trusted you with legal challenges we have encountered in business. First, you listen to understand the issue. You then thoroughly explain where and if we went wrong and then explain how the law works. Your approach brings calmness to an otherwise stressful situation. And you always approach an issue with ease, assurance and comfort which translates to us a sense of calmness. Though we respect the professionalism of others...we have not seen or experienced your style and approach. An approach that both educates us and brings resolution! Thank you Brian.

Within a short period of time working with Mr. Cige, I already began to see great progress. He is a true professional and a has a wealth of knowledge. I especially like the way he gave me a solid idea of what I could expect without candy coating anything. And his assessment was right on. He was extremely impressive in mediation. I knew that I did not have to worry about a thing. All I needed to do was follow his lead and I am so impressed with the results. He was diligent throughout the process and in his follow up with me and the opposing party. His office staff was a pleasure to work with as well. I very highly recommend Mr. Cige and in fact, I already have recommended him to a friend.

Got some important documents to be reviewed, I am very unfamiliar with legal papers, it can be very overwhelming. (Contacted multiple attorney prior , some were already closed, some told me to wait the following week but with no guarantee to be called back on Monday.) I reached the office After hours on a Friday , Joseph Nohavicka answered, he asked me to forward the file. Later on, I got a text that he reviewed my email, and that he will go through with me the next day. The following day (Saturday) He helped me to understand paragraph by paragraph, suggested some addition. I will definitely recommend this law office Great services, effective and very understanding Totally worth the money Thank you for your service Lise

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.
