Maria M. was so efficient and knowledgeable and one of the most organized people I ever met making the process that much easier. We hit a major bump in the road due to an out state probate issue.

I cannot thank Rich and his office enough for going above and beyond and being by my side every step of the way!

An attorney needs to let you know if your case is worth pursuing, in accordance with your goals:…read more I hired this attorney based on great reviews, having spoken to several. I was made to believe by Mr. Lamont, as with all of the attorneys, that I had an excellent case. A contractor said he would do certain work, I paid him, and he simply did not do it, and walked with the money. The Lamont staff seemed pleasant, he seemed articulate, but I was made to believe by Mr. Lamont that the approach suggested by the other attorneys I had consulted, starting by sending "lawyer letters" to the party I was having trouble with, was a waste of money. Mr. Lamont was going to immediately serve the other party with papers so he would have no time to cover his tracks, so to speak. This approach would be more costly initially, I was told, but far more effective. I beleived him and retained his services. Two years later or so, the other party had successfully hired several lawyers who easily deflected and deferred any sort of settlement. Finally, it appeared to be time to go to court, or arbitration. At this point, Mr . Lamont made it clear that my chances of proving damages at any level were poor, that I would have to hire experts at a great cost, and likely would not get much of a settlement. He told me that all of my costs would essentially cost as much as I was likely to collect or more. I asked if my chances of collecting ANY money beyond costs had been just as clear at the outset, BEFORE he had collected his retainer and more several times. When pressed , he said that this outcome was indeed predictable. So I asked why he did not make this clear at the outset, and he offered that many people do not go into these lawsuits for money, but more to make their point, for the sake of principle. I asked if he had inquired of me at the outset if my goal was to reclaim money that had been taken for services not provided , or to make a point out of principle. No answer here. Of course, I had come to him to reclaim lost money, not to defend a principle. Based on information shared at this point, two years into the legal action, apparently no money to be reclaimed, I was forced to settle for enough money to make up what I had paid Mr. Lamont for two years of my wasted effort and time, plus less than 10% of my actual losses. AND for that privilege, I had to sign an agreement holding the other party harmless and stating that I could not so much as give the other party a negative online review for walking away with a LOT of money. So now others will be taken advantage of by the contractor involved, and I cannot help them. If you want to pay for an attorney and have a similar result, stay in a case for years, providing documentation, etc. only to be told your case is not worth the money you have lost, this would be the man to hire. If you want an honest assessment of your case up front, and to be told that perhaps your case will end up costing more than it is worth BEFORE you pay the attorney (him) for several years, Mr. Lamont, in my experience, might not be an excellent choice. I think he is smart, but I think that this disclosure up front would have been not only appropriate and even critical, but absolutely ethically warranted. And it did not happen.

WARNING!! Rude and haughty! Extremely disrespectful!…read moreSTAY AWAY!! We called to ask a simple question, but were told we need to schedule a "consultation" which would be about $450 per hour. The office kept calling us and sending reminders to be on time. We got there exactly on time, but yet needed to wait about 15 minutes for the attorney to join us. A secretary asked us to complete a form with our private info, including SS# and more. We kindly dismissed it, stating "we only have a question". A short middle age fellow in a gray suit entered, said "Hello"" and asked why we were there. We started to ask the question, when someone from or party took over asking the question. The middle age fellow, who we assume was Mr. Zaltz, interrupted and asked a question. I proceeded to answer "AKA name, and the last name". Then I said "Whatever". Meaning, it was irrelevant to the question we had. Mr. Zaltz turned towards myself and my husband and said in a very loud rude voice, "When I ask a question, you don't answer "Whatever". You respond and do as I say! And when my girls in the office tell you to do something, you do it without question!" I turned to my husband blankly and shocked! We stared at each other for a moment. The other party continued to explain our question, as Mr. Zaltz again turned to us and started to yell. "If you don't like what I am telling you and you cannot follow my rules, you can get the hell out of my office!" My husband and I stood up immediately and slowly walked out. The audacity to yell at a potential client and a woman, was just too much to sit through. I do not recommend this "Attorney" for anyone. Do not believe all the positive reviews which are posted. There is no way that a so -called attorney would get those reviews honestly. We hope this will prevent others form being shamed as I have.

What stood out most was that he treated me like a person, not a billing opportunity. That level of care is rare in this field.

He is a super tough lawyer who seeks clients' best interest rigorously. What I loved most about him, though, is that he is also caring, especially when it comes to kids. The purchase of our new home was scheduled to close about one month and a half from the start fo the school year. He went above and beyond by calling the Board of Education of the town my family was moving into to ensure that our kids could start the school year in the new town without hitch. I will be forever grateful for his help in helping us navigate through that situation. In a nutshell, we made a great choice retaining him as our real estate lawyer and I have no reservations in recommending him.

Home Advantage Inspections missed a potential fire hazard in the home we purchased…read more We called HAI prior to purchasing our home in Mount Kisco, NY. The results of the inspection produced a few results that we were able to negotiate with the seller. However, HAI saw no issues with the house's boiler chimney. After the purchase of the house, our heating company advised us that the condition of our boiler chimney posed a potential fire hazard. The report HAI provided said there was no issues with the boiler chimney. After the purchase of the home, we had at least three chimney companies inspect the condition of the boiler chimney. Upon a mere visual inspection, all noticed that the boiler chimney could potentially cause a fire in the home. Upon further inspection, they noticed that the chimney would need to be completely replaced in order to make the home safe. They all strongly -- and separately -- suggested that the condition be remedied as soon as possible. The condition of the boiler chimney and the surrounding area was an open and obvious fire hazard that should have been identified in the inspection report provided by HAI. $3,000 later, we were able to remedy the condition without incident. However, had HAI notified us of the condition prior to the purchase of the home, this is something we could have potentially negotiated. We are lucky that we had the boiler company inspect the space, or else the condition of the home may have been much worse. There were other conditions in the home that were missed upon inspection -- but the fact that a safety hazard such as this was missed is extremely disconcerting.
