I had to pay over 5000.00 just for P&N to tell me that they still had not a full analysis of my case. The lawyer I spoke to was not even a real estate lawyer. I had to find another lawyer to take my case. This was an absolute waste of time, energy and money.

En el día Junio 30/2022 gracias a la efectividad, herramientas concernientes a la ley en NY y habilidad del Sr.Portela logramos cerrar un caso entre Landlord-Tenant que se encontraba bastante complicado y desde mi punto de vista ya lo consideraba perdido. Hoy día tenemos la alegria de celebrar un acuerdo justo y real como decimos los hispanos con papeles en mano! El Sr. Manuel nos guió desde un principio, supo guerrear nuestros puntos con el abogado oponente y llegar a un acuerdo sin necesidad de ir a Corte o peor aún llegar a perder lo ya invertido desde hace ya unos años en nuestro establecimiento. Deseo resaltar para los q se den la oportunidad de leer este mensaje... la parte bilingüe del Sr. Portela. Uno de sus lenguajes primarios es Español así que para compatriotas de la comunidad hispana que sientan algun temor o duda de si el "abogado" los entenderá o sabrá entender su necesidad es El una excelente opción. Antes de llegar a Mr.Portela pase por 2 opciones más acá en el área de Jackson Hts, Queens y lo volveremos a elegir a Él en futuras necesidades. Bendiciones y éxitos a Portela Law Firm Bendiciones y éxitos para quien nos lea.

In the middle of the day a tragic miscarriage of justice occurred to someone I know, we turned to Tara for counsel to help that person. In half a day things transformed from a seemingly dire situation, with confusing information passed to us from law enforcement, to a complete resolution, with clear and accurate information about the process from Tara. I have worked with attorneys from GT, Latham Watkins, DLA Piper, and more big name firms but rarely experienced this kind of expertise in the matters I've needed counsel on.

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.

The tickets carried 2 points each, and the fines were $330-$800. In our consult, Richard said he would get two tickets dropped, and the third ticket amended to no points. He cautioned me that the prosecutor will give me a higher fine to drop the ticket. I was excited at the prospect so I hired him on the spot. I didn't speak to him again until the day before the court appearance. He informed me that he was able to get one ticket dropped, but there would be no points on my record. I'll admit I was disappointed that I had to plead guilty to two tickets, but I was still very grateful for no points. On the day of the court appearance, it was another attorney that I never spoke to before. He spoke with the prosecutor just before court began. I pled guilty and had to pay $230 in fines. Considering the $450 surcharge for 6 points & fines over $400, it was worth it to hire an attorney. Admittedly, I could have spoken with the prosecutor and negotiated a plea before seeing the judge. However, I wasn't willing to take that risk! Overall, I was pretty satisfied & hopeful that I'll never be in traffic court again.
