LADIES: Words truly cannot describe how incredible of a woman and an attorney she is. From the very…read morebeginning, she has been someone I could count on when I felt like I had absolutely nowhere else to turn. She is intelligent, compassionate, fierce, and genuinely cares about the people she represents. She doesn't just make you feel like another client -- she makes you feel heard, protected, and like someone is actually in your corner. Knowing I could reach out to her gave me a sense of security when I desperately needed it. She is a GIRLS GIRL, through and through. One thing that has stuck with me to this day, she immediately understood where I was coming from when I cried in that office and told her I just wanted to live without being the default "bad guy" because of my appearance and profession. (I was a model and a Gogo dancer at the time) where other attorneys were ALWAYS passive and victim -blaming , she gave me assurance that I wasn't crazy. I was being gaslit. She has a strong sense of reading and understanding human behavior. I couldn't find the words to describe how I feel in a room full of average people because of how I look. She assured me that I AM often mistreated because of the way that I look -and I know how that sounds silly and I know that sounds vapid, but -it's true. I really needed a woman like her at a time like that to tell me I was not crazy. To assure me that I WAS being singled out and cornered. I used to make myself small because I didn't want to intimidate people with the way that I look. Now, knowing that I could call Miss Baines if I'm ever cornered, I don't feel So small. She taught me to stick up for myself. I am beyond grateful for her, not only for the incredible lawyer she is, but for the incredible woman she is. If you are looking for someone who will fight for you, advocate for you, and treat you like a human being rather than a case number, I cannot recommend her enough. Five stars honestly don't feel like enough. A bajillion stars. She's beautiful inside and out, I recommend her to every WOMAN that I know who feels cornered by an abusive man. This is your lawyer!! Trust me. This is exactly who you want on your team.

It seemed like they just take your money, go to sleep, and show up to close without doing any homework on your property.Attorneys like Usman are a shame and utterly useless. Don't waste your money here. Find yourself a competent attorney instead. It's frustrating to see the community promoting such inept attorneys who will exploit you at every opportunity. Unless you constantly question them, they will extract as much cash as possible from you.Avoid this firm and get a good attorney who will actually work for you.

I am extremely disappointed with the consultation I received from attorney Stephen Bilkis through…read moremy prepaid legal service plan. My plan specifically includes attorney consultations, legal advice, review of up to 10 pages of documents, contracts and letters, attorney-written demand letters on a member's behalf, and other legal services. The plan also requires participating attorneys to respond within 8 hours or by the next business day. Despite that requirement, I had to wait approximately five business days just to obtain an appointment. When the appointment finally occurred, the consultation lasted less than five minutes. Before I could fully explain my situation, Mr. Bilkis repeatedly interrupted me and stated that my only option was to file a lawsuit and that hiring him would cost between $7,000 and $10,000. I explained that I was not seeking representation at that time. I was seeking legal guidance through benefits I already pay for. However, I was told that he could not provide meaningful advice without reviewing documents and that doing so would require an additional payment of approximately $2,500, despite document review being one of the benefits included in my legal plan. Every attempt to ask general questions regarding my options, possible outcomes, or potential legal scenarios was met with interruptions. At one point, Mr. Bilkis stated, "I know what you're trying to do," as though I was attempting to obtain something improperly, when I was simply trying to use the services included in my membership. I was not asking for free legal work. I was attempting to use services that I already pay for. Instead of receiving legal guidance, I felt pressured toward paid representation and was unable to obtain any meaningful advice. The conversation ended before I was even allowed to fully explain my situation. This experience was dismissive, unprofessional, and inconsistent with the purpose of a prepaid legal service referral. Fortunately, my legal plan has since referred me to another attorney who is willing to provide the services and guidance that members are entitled to receive.

I had read good things about him online so we decided to try him out. It was a long process as the legal system moves slowly but the case wrapped up in a little over a year. He communicated with my wife after each new development during this time and it just recently wrapped up. He was able to get us a very fair settlement, more than we ever thought possible. He takes a cut from the settlement that is awarded so there was nothing for us to pay before hand in order to retain him. It's never pleasant when you have to deal with something like this with a loved one and I definitely recommend the Maltese law firm for any personal injury matters.

For buying my apartment, I had to coordinate everything with the seller, seller's attorney, bank, bank's attorney, and the management company. He missed basic things on my contract like signing next to handwritten changes, then tried to charge me to have the contract redrawn up 1.5 months into the deal. I ended up taking it into my own hands and dealing with the seller, their lawyer, and the bank's lawyers directly to create my own legal documents without any legal background. Silvana screamed at me when I called her out for not notifying me of anything going on in the process, then after 10 minutes of arguing with her on the phone, she realized she had been sending e-mails to the wrong address for weeks. The bank's attorney commented "oh god, that woman on the phone is awful!". I never once felt that Anthony had my interests at heart. I have absolutely no idea what I paid his office for.

I also found Sylvana, his office assistant, to be patient and kind towards me. I felt compelled to write this when I happened to see someone give him such a lousy rating.
