I sat through an introductory consultation where every account and asset I own was provided. I asked the associate upfront what the fee(s) would be to establish a trust. Her response was that Mr. Pierro would be in to provide that. It was pretty stunning to hear $6k and I am sure if I presented with fewer assets the fee would be different, otherwise there would be transparency. I've since established the trust, and that plus a will, power of attorney, and health care proxy were all executed with a different law office, specializing in estate planning for $3k.

beware of Aaron Oconnor. Words cant give justice to how much of a nightmare it was working with…read morehim. He is the The managing partner in Latham. He literally abandoned me 2 weeks before we were due to settle because i didnt feel comfortable with what he negotiated. The negotiations took place off the record without my knowledge and nobody present. He tried bullying me and my younger brother into consenting to the agreement. When i asked for information and documents i was ignored. He was extremely immature, lazy and temperamental. If i was skeptical of anything he would get mad asking me if i was a lawyer. He would attempt to belittle me and lie so blatantly without even attempting to cover the lie up. there was no conversation he would just talk over you. He wants to tell you what hes going to do and what your going to do. He has no sentiment towards anyone at all. Jacob V. who is/was an associate there was assigned to my case originally. No complaints with him. He immediately went to work. Answered our questions. Communicated effectively. He was unwavering the minute we hired him for representation. According to Aaron he is no longer with the firm and thats how i ended up with Aaron. There may be other lawyers in the firm that are competent and wont treat you like a peasant. I dont know. This was my experience and it was nothing but anxiety the moment Aaron took our case. When we went our separate ways there were not any notes, documents, records of anything. He just pretty much winged it i guess who knows.

This has taken me a few months to write after being represented by Dan Rubin of Girvan and…read moreFerlazzo. I could not find the words to express how grateful I am to Dan for giving me my life back but most important was his pursuit for the Justice that was due to us. Dan Rubin, who is a partner in the law firm of Girvan and Ferlazzo takes on giant corporations without a second thought, and wins. He has a compassion for justice and his clients. Dan is a kind, caring, unstoppable and determined attorney. Mr. Rubin peels back every layer to get to the truth and exposes all aspects of wrongdoing. You will NEVER find an attorney who puts his clients FIRST. I trusted Dan with my life "literally" and he delivered well over my expectations. Mr. Rubin achieved what others thought was unfeasible. Girvan and Ferlazzo are now our family attorneys for everything. The Girvan and Ferlazzo team works together to achieve and deliver the utmost results. They work day and night together and are one of the strongest teams. They respond and NEVER leave you hanging-they constantly keep you informed. Dan Rubin has been recognized by other attorneys for the outstanding job, he NEVER backs down and is highly respected amongst his peers and partners. Dan Rubin and Girvan and Ferlazzo are a blessing to have on your side. When the defendant's attorney acknowledges what an excellent job he has done on this case and others, THAT right there says it all! I strongly recommend Dan Rubin and Girvan and Felazzo. Once you have met Dan and his team you realize and understand what a supreme team you have. Mr. Rubin will never back down for his clients, nor settle just to settle. If you are looking for an attorney to deliver justice, fight for what you are entitled to and is highly respected than you need Girvan and Ferlazzo. If it wasn't for Dan Rubin, I know I would not be where I am today. Girvin and Felazzo is the ONLY Law firm I would ever recommend. Mr. Rubin fights to win and delivers!

Totally ignored our efforts to contact her…read more We went to Kimberly to set up our wills and trusts. There was only one thing left for her to do for us and that was to make an amendment to our will. It was supposed to be done mid August. Late Sept. we realized we never heard from her. I emailed her twice , then I called her twice, I stopped in her office to see if I could catch her in, unfortunately she was out that day. I left my name and phone numbers (it is now early November) still no response. Of course, we paid her in full. We had to hire another attorney and had him look over the documents she created. We had our home put in trust but she never had this recorded with the county we live in nor did she explain that was something we had to do, so the house was not protected. She said Medicaid could not touch our retirement funds, so we thought they were protected, but she never explained that they would have to be spent down before Medicaid would step in. In the end she did us a favor by not returning our call, we found the right attorney who explained all this to us and what we had to do to protect ALL our assets.

I sold my house in New York recently, and need a lawyer for the closing. I wasn't thrilled with…read morethe real estate agent I had used to buy the house, and the lawyer I used seemed to be closely tied to him. For that reason when I was selling my house, I asked the agent, who I had a very good experience with, to refer me to a lawyer for the closing. He referred me to Pat Fiore at a very reasonable fixed price. The closing ground work started smoothly, and I flew out of state to start my new job. However, once I had left NY, issue began to arise. We needed some documentation from the previous close in 2012 that I did not have. Pam, who works with Pat, was fantastic about aggressively trying to track that paperwork down. By the time I called the previous attorney for the first time, their receptionist was already well aware of what I was looking for. My previous attorney was not able to get the paperwork we needed as quickly as I would have liked because it was in his off-site storage. Pat Fiore called me and was very clear and honest about what the different outcomes and options were, based on when and if we could get that paperwork. He advised me not to do anything with escrow, and postpone the closing he had already done all of his work for. Pat dealt with the buyer's attorney, who was dealing with an irate buyer after we pushed back the close date, and my previous attorney while providing me great council and service. While we did get the paper around 5PM the day before the close, Pat had already decide not to go forward with the close being handled by a paralegal, based on all the potential landmines he saw. We closed a week later than originally planned, but everything went smoothly and without a hitch. Pat and Pam definitely went above and beyond in working hard and providing great council, and I was very impressed with them. I had multiple conversations with Pat, and they never felt rushed or stressed. He was thorough, thoughtful and helpful. I would definitely recommend Pat Fiore based on my experience working him.

With that in mind, I was very careful when picking an attorney to help me out. I had heard about The Towne Law Firm from a friend and decided to contact them, and I am so happy I did. Shalini Natesan, one of the Partners, was very responsive throughout the entire closing process and kept the transaction moving from start to finish. She helped calm my nerves and made the process of closing on a house actually enjoyable for me. It was very apparent she has done many closings before. I really cannot thank Shalini and the attorneys at Towne enough for all they did for me. They truly went above and beyond. If you ever need any legal assistance, Towne is the firm to go to. They aren't intimidating and they REALLY care about their clients.
