From day one, this place operated exactly like the one-star reviews warned--except somehow worse. Phone calls go unanswered like they're being screened by the FBI. Want to speak to an actual lawyer? Cute. You'll need to "schedule an appointment," which means waiting 2-3 days so they can talk at you with maximum annoyance. When you finally reach someone, the attitude is astonishing. Rude, dismissive, and condescending--as if you personally ruined their day by hiring them. The paralegals clearly took a master class in passive aggression. Customer service here is not bad--it's hostile. Then comes the truly shady part: they pressure you to sign over prior, completely unrelated cases that have nothing to do with why you hired them. This is not clearly explained upfront, and it feels like a trap you only realize you've stepped into after it's too late. Consider this your warning. Advocacy? Negotiation? Fighting for your rights? Absolutely not. When dealing with doctors or insurance companies, they fold immediately. Whatever they're told, they accept. No pushback. No strategy. No effort. Which is wild, since they're paid a percentage of your settlement--yet seem allergic to fighting for more money. And then there's Goldstein. Calling him "a piece of work" is being polite. If arrogance, dismissiveness, and self-importance were legal credentials, he'd be unstoppable. The cherry on top? Everyone is always on vacation. Constantly. Perpetually. This office has more PTO than productivity. Meanwhile, your case sits untouched while you're treated like a nuisance for asking basic questions. Bottom line: this firm does not see you as a client or a human being. You are a file number, a transaction, an inconvenience. The service is subpar, the communication is nonexistent, and the attitude is downright narcissistic. If you enjoy being ignored, talked down to, and watching your legal representation do the bare minimum while collecting a check--this is the firm for you. Everyone else should run.

Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman. It's hard to find this kind of customer service and compassion when it comes to matters of the law. They listen and really work hard to help your situation. 10/10 experience. I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

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.
