When we found ourselves in the unfortunate place of needing a lawyer to help us with our son's…read morespecial education issues, we were at a loss. An advocate recommended the Cuddy Law Firm. From the get-go, Elizabeth Angelone, and her paralegal Candace, were over-the-top amazing. They were straight-forward, easy to talk to, highly professional and kind to us in probably the most difficult time in our lives. They took over and all the stress of dealing with the school district's attorneys was taken away - they handled everything. My husband and I set back in awe of Elizabeth's performance and handling of our case. Elizabeth's guidance and knowledge of the issues at hand, i.e. due process hearing, appeal to district court, and appeal to the 5th Circuit, were flawless. If you ever find yourself needing a true warrior for special education children, we cannot recommend Elizabeth Angelone, Andrew Cuddy, and the Cuddy Law Firm enough. We truly believe that their guidance saved our child's life and we are forever thankful for their assistance.

Sadly, I've become an expert on lawyers in my time here in Geneva. Lawyer for property, lawyers…read morefor work, lawyers for everything. Sigh. When I first started writing this review, I realized that it was more of a complaint of other lawyers rather than why I've been so pleased with Heaton and Venuti. That being said, this review will exclusively be about why I'm five-starring them and not about my distaste for other lawyers (well, almost exclusively). Every cloud has a silver lining. For me, that lining was Ms. Eliza Heaton, the newest legal prodigy at Heaton and Venuti. Why have I been so pleased? Would you like it alphabetically, numerically, or in order of importance? I'll do all three. 1a. Quality work. She is very diligent in her work, always prepared, and thorough. It shows in the excellent outcomes and results I've had. No sad sacks here. There is a real pride in work here. 2b. Exceptional communication skills. There is no arrogance and superb follow up on cases. Nothing worse than chasing your lawyer to get an answer and follow up or having your lawyer speak to you in some garbled legal jumble meant to confuse. That has never happened with Ms. Heaton. 3c. Honesty. Now here's a commodity and should arguably be ranked 1a. Her honesty can be demonstrated in three examples. First, one time I asked her a complicated question and she told me, "I'm not sure, I'll find out." She took a day, figured it out and got back to me. Refreshing. Second, she has been very honest regarding the merits of a case and doesn't just encourage a case for her own personal benefit. Third, life always come down to the bill and her billing is clear and fair and honest; not some nebulous arbitrary bill or a psychotic bill listing each phone call or photocopy you were charged for. 4d. Compassion. I know I was going to speak about my positive experiences at H and V, but so many lawyers are so jaded or apathetic that work is just a job or a paycheck as demonstrated by their demeanor and attitude. Every interaction I have with Ms. Heaton has been enthusiastic and really caring about the case at hand. When I work with her, I feel that this case is personally important to her. That's meaningful to me. 5e. Pride. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. There is a purity to it where the whole is greater than the parts. Once you start working with Ms. Heaton you will see that she takes great pride in her work which in the end is your work because she is representing you. I would strongly recommend Ms. Heaton to anyone looking for a lawyer; she stands for superior to any other lawyer I've used. I think that Ms. Heaton specializes in family law, marital law, and estate planning but will accept any variety of legal challenges on a case by case basis.

If you ever need legal representation in the courts of Brutus and Auburn NY DO NOT USE NORMAN…read moreCHIRCO. I was referred to him to represent my son in a DWI case 3 years ago and was extremely disappointed. We finally just ended this fiasco. He advised to delay as long as possible , said the DA would plea bargain and that he knew the Judge inferring that he could use that to his favor. This was smoke and mirrors just to get the $$. First, he has no communication skills. He doesn't have an e mail address or cell phone to reach him. He doesn't have an answering machine to receive calls after hours. He corresponds through the mail only. He never has his office call to remind you of a court date. Even the dentist, dog groomer or any other profession gives a courtesy call. The truth is I never have seen such a PATHETICALLY DREADFUL, INEPT, MEEK REPRESENTATION in all my life!! The man lacks a backbone, lies to protect himself and will throw you under the bus. Spare yourself the frustration and seek ANYONE else!!. He won't bust his a** for you.He is a puppet in that kangaroo court.
