My first time having to request legal advice. also being a foreigner, I wanted to be sure of my future. Got some important documents to be reviewed, I am very unfamiliar with legal papers, it can be very overwhelming. (Contacted multiple attorney prior , some were already closed, some told me to wait the following week but with no guarantee to be called back on Monday.) I reached the office After hours on a Friday , Joseph Nohavicka answered, he asked me to forward the file. Later on, I got a text that he reviewed my email, and that he will go through with me the next day. The following day (Saturday) He helped me to understand paragraph by paragraph, suggested some addition. I will definitely recommend this law office Great services, effective and very understanding Totally worth the money Thank you for your service Lise read more

Used Yelp for labor law advice. Got 3 call backs from different firms. 2 said they couldn't help. Joe from PN called me and provided patient, expert advice for FREE. He even reviewed the agreement and found something that needed amending, again, for FREE. If I ever have any kind of legal issue that this firm handles, I will come straight here to the best and kindest law firm in NYC. Thank you Joe!!! read more

I do not recommend using Pardalis & Nohavicka. P&N took too long to analyze my case. During this time there was a chain of emails sent back and forth. I paid them on 5/20/25 10,000 dollars. By 6/5/25 their team of lawyers failed to give me a proper analysis of my case. I asked for a refund. I had to pay over 5000.00 just for P&N to tell me that they still had not a full analysis of my case. The lawyer I spoke to was not even a real estate lawyer. I had to find another lawyer to take my case. This was an absolute waste of time, energy and money. read more

I called about coming in to get a document notarized and they were super accommodating. the office staff were so nice and professional also

Got a contract from an entertainment manager and I needed an experienced entertainment lawyer to look everything over. Had the pleasure of working with Gianna McArthur and Joe Nohavicka and I can't say enough nice things about them. They were so extremely thorough and they took the original contract which was extremely one sided (and immensely unfair) and they were able to revise it to make it fair and balanced on my side. The amount of work they had to do, they basically had to rewrite the entire contract which, as I mentioned, was so completely unfair towards me - the artist. Originally, there were so many hidden tricks and shitty loopholes that were buried within the middle of legal paragraphs that they were able to sniff out, revise and make it fair and balanced on my end. In the end, I decided not to work with the manager but, trust me...Gianna and Joe helped me dodge a bullet on this one. You read about entertainers getting screwed over by their agents and managers all the time but when I saw how awful this contract was, I was so glad I had real experienced professionals on my side looking out for my best interest. Gianna even took the time to speak with me on the phone (AT NO EXTRA CHARGE) to go over every single thing that was changed in the contract and explained to me the specific details of the before and after. I've worked with Joe and his firm a few times before and they never disappoint. I can't say enough nice things. If you are in the NYC area and you need a fantastic attorney - or in my case an entertainment attorney - 100% give them a call. read more

Joe saw me on short notice and resolved my legal concerns after an informative consult. Amazing professional and human being. Cannot find this at your typical law firm. read more

Wow! The response from the owner speaks for itself, particularly considering he wrote it the day after he accessed my phone number through the company files to call and text me multiple times so he could "address my concerns" - (I was hoping and expecting no further contact once they failed to do what they were quite confident they could). I took him at his word (second mistake on my part, after hiring them!) and gave him 45 minutes of my time, which was 44 too much. He made excuses, patronized me by repeating his line of employers not having to provide severance (we don't provide parental leave in this country, who is stupid enough to think that employers are required to provide severance?) then babbling on about how he thinks he knows who the woman who was rude to me on the phone is but "I really hope it's not her, cuz I kinda like her, ya know?" Um no, bro. Despite our loooong conversation and my very clear outline in my initial review and in speaking to him, Taso seems to think my issue is with his firm's lack of success in securing me a better severance than I got on my own. To be clear, the reason for my low rating is the unprofessional and sloppy manner in which I was treated, and his nasty response to my accurate review after admitting to me the day before that he checked everything on his end after being upset by my post and sadly realized he and his employees dropped the ball. Also, I know you're a lawyer but develop a sense of humor and while you're at it, a healthy respect for semantics. Thank you so much for condescending to me and telling me that setting fire to money is a federal offense, you really saved me from making a big mistake because since I don't give my extra cash to useless lawyers anymore I just make a big bonfire with it every night! Also, "acerbic" doesn't mean what you think it does. Saying someone about to go on vacation (who mentioned said vacation several times) seems distracted and that she made multiple mistakes on her work is "factual" not "acerbic." I wish I would've recorded our convo (which thanks Taso, I know NY is a one-party consent law so no need to lawyersplain that one to me) as he admitted that sometimes "crazy people" write negative reviews on Yelp and he lobbies to get them deleted but that even he had to admit everything I said was accurate. Then he begged me to give him another shot and offered to help me if I ever needed legal representation in the future. After reading his ridiculous defense of his firm's behavior I can unequivocally say that even if they paid me I would never do business with such a dishonest and incompetent person again. read more

I had some business dealings today with Pardalis & Nohavicka, LLP and had to deal directly with Zoey and Taso Pardalis. Honest and integrity stand out with these two people. Outstanding Communication from the very beginning to the end. Smoothest transaction possibly !! Without a doubt these guys are the real deal. read more

Pardalis & Nohavicka - Personal Injury Law Near Me - Astoria, New York

See all

We had the real estate transaction from hell. Seller was dishonest with her financial situation, her first lawyer passed away unexpectedly, her new lawyer was unresponsive. We even got the coop board approval, for 8 months nothing was happening. We were advised from our previous lawyer that we need a litigator to get our deposit back, through recommendations, we came to PN Lawyers We worked mostly with Elleana and Sekhar. Let me just let you know, Elleana and Sekhar are both exceptional lawyers. If you are working with them, you are in good hands. They are very responsive, they address all our concerns very quickly. They are extremely knowledgeable. Whatever your worry is, or possible issue that could occur, they've already dealt with it. They were able to empathize with what we were going through. There's a lot of lawyers out there. When you need a lawyer, you need people that actually care, understands and have the ability and knowledge to help you. Words fail to describe how happy and grateful we are for their help to finally end this nightmare. read more

Lydia is an amazing attorney and she was patient and kind enough to address all of my concerns and gazillion questions about my employment issue. I was finally able to sleep well at night after Lydia helped me the first day I needed legal advice. Joe and Taso would also be included in the email threads which only means they really look after their clients. Stacy is nice to talk to. Great customer service! This law firm is awesome! They even accommodated me despite my financial status. Thank you guys. Fingers crossed everything goes well with my situation. read more

Just two years out of college - and a general litigation suit popped up in my life. I only speak with one of my peers regarding legal matters, and since she both comes from a family of means and continually complains about how difficult it is to find a competent and responsive lawyer, I knew I had my work cut out for me in order to effectively respond to the suit. After interviewing several firms, I chose to place Pardalis & Nohavicka LLP on retainer. I worked primarily with Edgar Cepeda, and to some extent Vivianna Schwoerer. I was impressed by the responsiveness, energy, and face of the firm. The vast majority of my email and phone contact with Edgar & co was responded to in less than twenty-four hours, sometimes much less. It's clear the lawyers in this firm enjoy what they're doing, Edgar prepared extensively for the key appearance in the case and brought strong arguments to the table. He presented reasonable arguments which fairly represented my opinion. Most importantly, at no point did I feel ethically or morally opposed to the logic used in our case, and I certainly can't say the same for the opposition. This is key, because I always hope the actions taken by legal council, on my behalf, will reflect favorably on my personal brand. In the end, the case outcome was impressive and the fee was more than reasonable. The (fiscal benefit):(legal costs) ratio was about 6:1 at case end, and I suspect this is far better than I may have fared had another legal firm taken on the case. I would definitely work with Pardalis & Nohavicka LLP, again, in the future. read more

I worked with Taso and his team for my contract questions for my small business. They were great listeners and were able to translate my needs into paper. Since then, whenever I have a legal question or need legal advice on a business matter, they are the first that I communicate with. I really trust the wealth of information that they provide during each phone call or email. read more

Taso is a consummate professional, and has helped me out for a with many legal matters. Aside from his professionalism, his character is second to none and the services offered by his firm are of the highest integrity in the legal field. Contact me directly with any additional questions. read more

I came in for a consultation about an unfortunate situation that I'm currently dealing with, and both Taso and Joseph took the time to listen to everything that happened and put my mind at ease about it. They are highly competent, caring, and all-around fantastic. Highly recommended! read more

I worked with Ashley again for some IP questions I had. She was once again thorough, helpful, and accommodating with all my questions. I had to call P&N again when I had a situation with a legit psycho ex. I spoke with a gentleman this time (I think it was Taso but I could be totally wrong) and he put my mind quickly and easily actually chuckling at my ex's foolishness. I have to say not only are these guys knowledgeable and experienced both Ashley and the rest of them team have been great at making me feel better in what were both stressful situations. Most people don't love lawyers but P&N is awesome! read more

Talk about guidance through a difficult situation. They were there for me not only legally but mentally. Class act! If all lawyers were this classy it would be a joy to deal with them. read more

After the buyer's attorney couldn't figure out a title issue he suggested we reconvene after the weekend, Taso stepped in and called the title company, getting them to accept a change that was made. Being a real estate investor, I firmly believe in the saying "You're only as good as your attorney." Taso's knowledge and experience make him an excellent lawyer. I fully endorse his firm and recommend him to anyone in need of representation. read more

Highly Recommended! Most other Law firms only have voicemail. Elizabeth was very responsive, honest and happy to answer queries. The advice is complete and makes sense. Thank you read more

I worked with Elizabeth for a free consultation. She was very professional, timely and very knowledgable. If she was unsure of a question, she spoke to an attorney and answered my question. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend this firm as well as Elizabeth! read more

Lawyers at P&N are helpful and knowledgeable. A law clerk Elizabeth gave me great advice on upcoming labor court. She called me back when my cell phone had problems. I am a bit disappointed I could not get some in person pro bono work...but I understand. The law firm is expanding to Manhattan and the UK, I am sure because of good client work. read more

Taso handled a couple of business issues for me and I always felt like he understood not just the technical aspects of the situation, which he knew inside and out and was able to present some ideas that I hadn't thought of, but the emotional ones as well. As a small business owner, emotions do come into play. His understanding was way more than I expected. He's straight and fair. What more could you ask?! read more

Thanks for the help. You guys rock. I was so glad to find you advice regarding a speeding ticket. Thanks.

Joseph Nohavika is an incredible lawyer, a rare breed in his kindness and willingness to work for people. I went to him about a matter from my previous employer, the DOE, and he knew exactly what he was talking about, did not charge me a dime for consultation, and helped me to rest assured on next steps concerning the matter. I feel empowered, informed, and will definitely go out of my way to recommend his firm to you. read more

I was referred to Superstar Lawyer Taso Pardalis through a friend..worked with a few law offices before contacting him. Regarding my issues with the other law offices, it was all about Communication, actually, lack of Communication. Happy to say that Taso was prompt in returning my phone calls and was very attentive when I went to see him in person. He was always there for me when I needed any questions answered and for support. He is Professional and Diligent. Exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend. read more

I have never really had much confidence in lawyers, but my recent experience with the Law offices of Pardalis & Nohavicka, LLP has completely erased that attitude. A group of my former co-workers and I were represented by them, and I was amazed by the speed with which the suit was brought to a successful and satisfactory resolution, and the communication of updating us either by phone, U.S. mail or email, of what was going on as the matter moves through the process. Also, my faith in the justice system through effective representation by them has been restored. I want to personally thank everyone at the law firm for their contribution whether it was in a minor or major role, and a very special thank you to Yesy Sanchez. Thank you all. Cliff Alibocas. read more

Excellent and accommodating lawyers. I worked with Yesy Sanchez and Michael Chazoule this time. I've consulted with Taso in the past as well, his advice was very well considered and appropriate. Michael quickly figured out what the best course of action was in reducing my charges, and if it wasn't for his extreme persistence in doing the legwork for my plea deal who knows what inconvenience I could be facing now. I contacted PN relatively late in the game, Michael had only a couple of days to work something out and he ended up delivering beyond my expectations. Yesy represented me in court in an uncommonly capable and reassuring manner - this was my first time going before a judge and I couldn't have asked for a more professional and calming presence at my side throughout. He was also very informative, walking me through the entire process and explaining everything in as much depth and nuance as I requested. I heartily recommend PN for any legal matter - their consummate professionalism and deep knowledge of the legal system is a massive advantage when trying to secure a successful legal outcome. read more

Joseph Nohavicka is a very kind and caring attorney that helped me enormously. If you are looking for a good person to represent you, he is it. I was all the way in California and he went out of his way to correspond and explain things to me. read more

I can't say that I've been to very many law firms in Astoria, but I can say that this one is the best. The people are friendly, intelligent, understanding, helpful, and experienced, the rates are reasonable, and most importantly, the firm is efficient. If my own mother had a legal problem, I'd send her to them. read more

Meeting Ariadne felt like the universe is trying to help me after a big setback. She is professional, honest, generous, and obviously has passion for what she does. She spent over 2 hours on the eve of long weekend and answered every single question I had, and for free. She is one of those who you hope there are more of them on this planet: highly intelligent and yet with a big heart. What an inspiring and rewarding experience...highly recommend! read more

I don't know why people are giving them bad reviews... Dorina Cela was just perfect and has a great advice about my situation. Strongly recommended! read more

As a nonclient I contacted firm regarding questions I had regarding a car accident claim. I spoke with Yesy whom was incredibly knowledgeable and courteous. He went above and beyond for a nonclient, I can only imagine what he does for his clients. His knowledge and courtesy made me want to find a reason to become a client. I highly recommend Yesy for your legal matters. read more

I highly recommend anyone who is looking to close properties in New York to choose this law firm if you want it done the right way. read more

I called this law firm on a Saturday afternoon from a different state when I was extremely worried about a family member. Taso personally picked up the phone. He was a very patient and great listener. He gave me a great advice and peace of mind. He was very professional and personable. It's a great feeling for a client when you know that this lawyer cares about his client , rather than just being in it for the money. Unfortunately , he doesn't handle the divorce cases, but I am sure we can trust whoever he refers us to just like we trust him. read more

Went to Pardalis yesterday for a desk appearance ticket. I explained to them what happened and they offered me a price. Stating that i'm only a college student and part time cashier, he cut the price by half. I never been arrested before nor paid a lawyer so im not quite sure how good the price is but i decided to pay it anyways. Edgar was also a great help, really comforted me and told me to not worry. read more

Excellent no obligation advice, honest and trustworthy.

I'm so thankful to Taso Pardalis for giving me a very helpful consultation about the terms of a job offer. He listened attentively to my questions and offered his insights, which really helped me make a decision.
