Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman. It's hard to find this kind of customer service and compassion when it comes to matters of the law. They listen and really work hard to help your situation. 10/10 experience. I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

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.

I do not recommend using Pardalis & Nohavicka. P&N took too long to analyze my case. During this…read moretime there was a chain of emails sent back and forth. I paid them on 5/20/25 10,000 dollars. By 6/5/25 their team of lawyers failed to give me a proper analysis of my case. I asked for a refund. 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.
