No words can express my appreciation for Jeffrey Peltz's detication and support in finalizing my…read morecase. As I entered a new phase of life, my retirement, debt was becoming a major hardship. It felt endless and no matter what stretegies I used, I didn't see how I would be able to handle all of my expenses. I remember Mr. Peltz advisory in a simialr situation almost 20 years ago and I am so happy to know that his firm is unchanging. They a truly consistent and very efficent. His attention to detail, along side with his paralegal Jose, allowed myself to take back hold of my life. Through their diligence and encouragment, I may be able to truly enjoy my retirement free from the ball and chains of debt. Thank you so much Mr Peltz!

First, perhaps like many of us, trying to understand how to navigate legal issues is daunting!…read more I've been shopping for a lawyer of Family Law and lucked into finding and watching a 14-year-old video that Jeffrey Peltz created to explain divorce proceedings. As he offered to take a call at the end of that video, I called and to my surprise and delight, he not only talked with me but gave me practical guidance - which I was struggling to get prior to his call! Given the circumstances (geography), we aren't certain that he can represent our case. However, he was gracious and gave me time anyway - who does this anymore!?!?! I'm so impressed with him!!! I will update this review if we are fortunate enough for Jeffrey Peltz to represent our interests as I'm confident we'd get very high-quality representation.

NJ squatter situation quickly resolved. 2 months to get the judgement, 3.5 months to fully regain…read morepossession. So, everyone knows squatters are a thing, but to actually deal with the situation is daunting to say the least. On top of that, this case was very complex and multiple other firms I contacted were unsure of how to proceed. I contacted Lawrence Centanni and he immediately understood the situation and was able to guide on the next steps. I then worked closely with Eileen, another attorney at the firm, who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in this area. Both attorneys were involved and made time to advise and represent throughout the process. The entire office was friendly, and anytime I called, someone answered promptly. The firm also communicated effectively via email. Overall, the process was smooth and I couldn't have done this without their team. Seriously, thank you to everyone involved.

Apparently I was "too much time spent on" not worthy, charged me a premium and had someone who didn't even get his law degree yet represent me. By the way spodek will not represent you. His unqualified "lawyers" who didn't pass the bar exam will. Shady business Absolutely disgusting behavior from front desk ms Williams. And empty promises. Honest opinion. Never met Spodek once. Representation and communication was weak and the rate for service were high. After 32 hrs of community service $5000 and a stain on my record, DEFINITIVELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR HIRE Mind you my charges were 2 misdemeanors and I had a clean record. Funny part is. I was actually the victim in it all. Not pleased. Please save your money and go to another firm. Shapiro is a must ! I've attached a photo of how dismissive spodek is and even talked in a way that made me fear him for not taking down the honest review. But I think people should know the kind of firm this is. Also the guy in the photo is the one who did not pass the exam and was presenting me.

Seth D. Schraier was assigned to represent me on or about 2024 in a New York Family Court child…read moresupport violation matter. Throughout the representation, communication was inconsistent. Calls I was asked to make went unanswered or were not returned, and requests for updates often went unresolved. Despite being counsel of record, I was repeatedly asked what actions I wanted taken, rather than being provided with clear legal strategy and proactive guidance. I also had a confidential address on file. Seth stated he would redact my medical records before submission to the court and did not do so, which resulted to serious purge demand being $10,000 or "bringing my toothbrush" to my next court appearance. After the Support Magistrate issued a willfulness finding, I asked counsel to object and submit properly redacted medical documentation. That was not done as requested. At a later appearance, counsel stated on the record that certified medical records had been subpoenaed, but this did not occur when initially requested. These delays and omissions contributed to adverse outcomes in my case. Clients deserve timely communication, clear legal direction, and follow through. My experience fell short of that standard.

WARNING: Incompetence, Dishonesty & Abandoned Contract - DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER…read more BOTTOM LINE: I hired Schraier to revise a support agreement, but he abandoned the contract despite being fully paid and lied for months about finalizing it. His incompetence has caused lasting harm to my child and resulted in major financial losses. ________________________________________ UPDATE: Years later, his lies and negligence still haunt my case. He repeatedly promised the agreement was coming "next week" or "Monday," but it never arrived. Schraier is a pathological liar who failed me and my child. Instead of taking responsibility, his response to my review was: "Paul, considering that it's been 3.5 years since your case and my legal representation ended, it's clear that something recent has caused you a lot of emotion and grief, and I hope that you get whatever help you can to get you through this." This fake concern is nothing more than an attempt to deflect from the fact that he walked out on a paid contract and failed his client. Instead of addressing his professional failures, he tried to dismiss my experience as personal grief. His response is insulting and a blatant attempt to shift blame. I urge anyone considering him to investigate thoroughly before hiring. ________________________________________ DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE HIRING ANY LAWYER: Call at least three past clients for references. Compare him with other attorneys before making a costly mistake. Read unbiased reviews from multiple sources, not just the ones he promotes. ________________________________________ SUMMARY OF HIS FAILURES: 1. ABANDONED A PAID CONTRACT & LIED ABOUT IT * Ignored 20+ emails about the support agreement. * Lied repeatedly, saying it was coming "next week." * Eventually stopped responding entirely, forcing me to pay for costly legal fixes. * The opposing lawyer had already agreed to lower support, yet Schraier failed to act. Result: Financial devastation and emotional strain. 2. POOR NEGOTIATOR - AVOIDED WORK * He was outmaneuvered by opposing counsel and failed to secure a fair agreement. * He negotiated directly from the opposing lawyer's draft and only made changes when I explicitly told him to. * His delays and weak strategy made my situation worse. Result: A bad agreement that harmed me and my child. 3. CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH OPPOSING LAWYER * I asked if he had a conflict of interest with opposing counsel since he had upcoming cases with her. * He denied any conflict, but his weak negotiation and failure to advocate for me raised major concerns. Result: My case may not have been his priority. 4. DISHONEST BILLING PRACTICES * He bid very low to win the case but then failed to do the necessary work. 5. UNPROFESSIONAL, UNRESPONSIVE & UNPREPARED FOR COURT * Ignored key legal deadlines and responded slowly to urgent issues. * Waited until the last minute to prepare me for court. * Was frequently late to hearings, leaving me unprepared. * Opposing counsel had to remind him to complete his own promised work! Result: Weak legal representation, stress, and costly delays. 6. PRESSURED ME TO ACCEPT A BAD AGREEMENT * He knew it was a terrible deal but pressured me to sign anyway. * Ignored critical evidence that would have helped my case. * The opposing attorney rushed in a last-minute draft before court, and Schraier didn't object. Result: A custody and support agreement that left me and my child worse off. 7. NEGLIGENCE & FAILURE TO ACT ON EVIDENCE * My ex violated most of the prior agreement, and Schraier failed to act. * He did not address compliance issues or seek court protections for my child. * He dismissed parental alienation as a past issue that couldn't be helped. Result: My child was harmed, and the violations continued unchecked. ________________________________________ FINAL WARNING: AVOID THIS LAWYER AT ALL COSTS Finally - a note on these rating sites. They are not honest. There are a few things that happen: 1 - There are companies that go to lawyers and promise to get good reviews on these sites. Schraier especially uses this method of getting business. 2 - Basically - an easy case - you think he did well and they get a good review out of the client. Difficult case or one that Schraier abandons like mine - and you get screwed but it is overwhelmed by the "good" reviews. 3 - Avvo in particular is a referral site for lawyers - DO YOU THINK THEY ARE HONEST? You know the answer. Cheaters like Schraier depend on that. You lose - your money, your child, and regret it for a lifetime.
