We used this law firm to get advice on my husband's mother's estate planning that was done by…read moreanother law firm and to purchase a co-op in NYC. Everyone there (paralegals, receptionist and lawyers) were diligent and professional and put us very much at ease. Great results for both situations and we will be using them in the near future for our own estate planning. Our lawyer, William O'Connor was a particular standout for his assistance.

This is, without exaggeration, the most highly unprofessional and emotionally vacant law firm I…read morehave ever dealt with. From the very beginning, everything appeared pleasant enough--smiles, polite tones, reassurances. But once they had secured their fees, the entire demeanor shifted. The courtesy evaporated. What followed was a pattern of condescension, deflection, and outright indifference that never improved. My experience with this firm spans multiple years, not a single isolated incident. I first encountered this behavior over three years ago. Today, due to circumstances beyond my control, I had no choice but to contact them again--and the experience was identical. This is not a fluke, not bad timing, and not a rough period. This is simply how they operate. Simple, basic requests--such as asking for a routine email to be sent--were treated as though they were unreasonable impositions. Communication was strained at every turn. Phone calls were passed from person to person with no accountability. Everyone was a "messenger," no one was responsible, and nothing was ever actually resolved. They are absolute masters at passing the buck. What is most alarming is that this behavior was not limited to one bad employee. Every single person we interacted with behaved this way. It feels systemic, almost institutional--like apathy, deflection, and quiet hostility are part of their training. Their tone consistently bordered on contempt. Every word, every exchange felt tense, defensive, and unnecessarily adversarial, as though clients were an inconvenience rather than the reason the firm exists. Dealing with this firm over time is emotionally exhausting. You begin to brace yourself before every interaction, knowing it will be tense, unhelpful, and draining. You are subtly made to feel as though asking for assistance--while paying for their services--is somehow unreasonable. The cumulative effect is frustration, helplessness, and emotional fatigue, especially when you are already navigating grief and loss. There was no sense of guidance, advocacy, or professionalism--only a cold, lackadaisical attitude that at times felt almost masochistic in how much friction they seemed determined to inject into even the smallest interactions. At no point did we feel supported, advised, or respected. Most disturbing of all was their complete and total lack of empathy. This firm handled an estate during a period of profound emotional vulnerability. One would expect, at minimum, a baseline of human decency. Instead, beneficiaries were treated as obstacles. There was no compassion, no patience, and no acknowledgment of the emotional weight of the situation--just irritation, detachment, and an air of "not our problem." Repeated attempts to resolve basic matters were met with thinly veiled annoyance. There was no concern for outcomes, no sense that they cared how their actions--or inaction--affected real people. The experience left us feeling dismissed, disrespected, and completely worn down. These are exactly the kinds of lawyers who give the profession a bad name. Cold, dismissive, unresponsive, and utterly devoid of accountability. I am writing this so others do not make the same mistake.

On Saturday, I called expecting to leave a voicemail--but Ireena, the office manager, answered. She was lovely, apologetic, and scheduled the call. I got four reminder emails and a voicemail stressing my punctuality--but no one contacted me until 20 minutes after the appointment time. Renata knew I'd had trouble reaching the office but never acknowledged it. She sounded irritated from the start. When I raised my concern, she said, "I already apologized. I'm not going to apologize ten times." When I first met Renata, she was with Karol & Sosnik. She led me to believe that firm no longer existed--but it does. I've already contacted them, and they were warm, welcoming, and professional. I've referred clients to her in the past, but I regret that. I'll be referring to Karol & Sosnik going forward and filing a complaint with the NY Bar.

I did not know Jason Jones when we first started working together on my estate plan, but I have to say I instantly knew that I had made the correct choice of attorney. Plus, when I indicate that the two of us were "working together," it was very much the way throughout the entire journey - from very first introductory video chat all the way to the signing, witnessing, and notarizing of the documents. He spent countless hours with me working through every minute detail, and made suggestions how to achieve each desire of mine quite specifically. The peace I now feel of having all this in place is almost impossible to put into words, though I have tried to do my best here. I cannot recommend Jason Jones highly enough.

She was great with my mom; offered refreshments, kind words and escorted us to the conference room to enjoy our treats from nearby Bread and Joe. Third, Pauline Yeung, mom's lawyer for a decade, once again guided us with intelligence as I communicated what changes we needed with my mom's Estate Planning. She listened to my concerns, questions and delivered a seamless action plan. I left again, confident that my mom's assets were in safe hands.
