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.

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

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

Their team is nothing short of excellent. Max Bracero, in particular, was outstanding. His communication, poise, efficiency, and dedication played a pivotal role in the success of my case.

I was thrilled to receive the news that he had secured a favorable outcome. He certainly delivered!!! A heartfelt thank you to Max and the entire team at Phillips & Associates. Especially the receptionists who demonstrated professionalism and exceptional etiquette at all times. I truly appreciate the dedication and expertise of everyone involved. I will never go elsewhere.

Don't TRUST this law firm, they will lie and lead you on…read more Jesse Weinstein was assigned to my ADA compliance and Sexual harassment based upon a public accommodation. He advised me and lead me on by advising me was would be filing my case in court, due to the defendants ignoring his demand letter. When I noticed this had not happened, after some months passing. I began following up with him in phone calls, left voicemails, and sent emails all of which yielding negative results with no communication back from him. I received a phone call from his associate attorney underneath him by the name of Samantha Solomotis, stating that he wanted to hold a call "to discuss the NEXT STEPS" with me via Microsoft Teams. Upon on the call, he kept coercing me to show myself, to him on camera, which I felt was not called for. Your not my employer and to arrange a Microsoft Teams call, to notify me that I had no case, that you didn't receive a response from the defense due to you admitting that you purposely did not send them a demand letter, he was hinged and was annoyed because of I kept following up with him. I will also be making a complaint against him since I have a witness who was present and overheard his whole conversation. Poor law firm all of their attorneys are careless and rude, you literally did not represent me zealously nor had my best interest. If you had no plans to file a civil suit, you shouldn't have agreed to work my case. He advised me as a client for me to file my own civil lawsuit against the company! That he was not going after the company since it lacked structure and it's not a Fortune 500 company! This law firm is predatory, they're sharks they prey upon and take advantage of those who are victims and sometimes make you their victims. I submitted all my evidence and they were in favor of the defense instead of their own client. Atrocious behavior. You repeated the same thing the defense did when I kept contacting them to advocate for myself.

What really stood out to me at the beginning was getting a near-immediate response after I contacted her, followed by a phone call. Since things were very raw at the time, this was incredibly appreciated and made me feel heard from the start. In addition to being very empathetic, Tiffany told me the truth. I knew what to expect from the start, and she kept me in the loop as the case progressed. She asked me the right questions which provided insight into facts and issues where the law was broken that I didn't even realize. I could go on and on about how professionally the case was handled, but the most important thing is that Tiffany made me feel confident that I was right and that I was justified in my allegations. That will always be something that I'll remember about a situation that was scary and confusing. When we settled, I walked into the courtroom at peace and told my story. She was even so aware of my feelings that she calmed my nerves during the settlement conference with her witty and whip-smart personality. She helped me land on a number that was fair--and thrilled doesn't even describe the feeling that I felt when we settled. Young & Ma is superb, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

They made sure I fully understood what was happening at each stage and always kept me involved, especially during negotiations. They went back and forth on my behalf and never pushed for a settlement unless I was completely comfortable and satisfied. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment made all the difference. They fought to ensure I received what I deserved, and I am incredibly grateful for their support. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking justice, you will be in excellent hands.

This review is for the office of Ty Hyderally. In my review I would like to not only offer my A++…read moreand or 5** review to the team at Ty Hyderally but also offer some personal advice of what I learned along the way in having dealt with an unsavory employer. I took my case to several firms and they were either short, rude, condescending or all of the above. The office of Ty Hyderally was co-council for my case and Ty and his team were brought on like Mariano Rivera in the top of the 8th. Ty is a very smart attorney and he cuts right to the chase. His understanding of the law is exemplary. The attorney who brought him on was wise because Ty is an expert litigator and the man is prepared to go the distance. I read up on many of the cases Ty had online and it was clear I was in the right hands. For any person looking to take on an employer the office of Ty Hyderally offered the most sage and valuable advice along every step of the way. Here are some key takeaways they offered which proved to be invaluable. 1. MAKE A TIMELINE - I cannot stress how valuable this is. Time flies and 3 months becomes 1 year and if your opponent is covered under insurance you will be asked 100x the same series of events and a consistent timeline proves very valuable in the long haul. During discovery the documents that coincide with your timeline should not be lost due to lack of creating a formal DATED TIMELINE. 2. BE PATIENT. My case involved smoking gun evidence and while you may think this makes things cut and dry it doesn't necessarily speed up the process. Law is often a game of patience and while you never know how long it will be played you certainly get comfort knowing what inning your in. Ty Hyderally is EXCELLENT at explaining timelines for motions and procedures. 3. NEW JERSEYS BEST EMPLOYMENT LITIGATOR IS TY HYDERALLY. I had the counsel, the most respected experts, and the best TEAM. IT WAS A TEAM. If you think you will file a suit and not have your hands full post filing from my experience you will be wrong. You will be faced with many documents & procedures & Ty's team keeps you on track in producing important documents and outlines that explain your case to the court. You are not going to sit on your hands & have everything done for you. Ty's office is a legal guide & world class assistant in making your case alongside you. THEY HELP YOU HIGHLIGHT & TRIM DOWN FOCAL POINTS TO YOUR STRONGEST POSITIONS. 4. Managing emotion - bottom line is that in a suit you will go through a series of emotions. The biggest accolade I can give to Ty's team is that they slowly through the process divorce you from raw emotion. Things you think matter & are material often are emotionally driven, and in many cases detract from the core issues & strong points that should be the focal point. DOING THIS TAKES PATIENCE & SKILL. Skill to help me leave my emotion at the doorstep and skill to help me focus on points that are undeniably strong. 5. Ty Hyderally HAS QUALITY BEDSIDE MANNERS AND HELPS YOU GET YOUR LIFE BACK. At times I'm fairly certain my hot running emotion drove him mad, he kindly cut me short APPROPRIATELY and kept me on task. I learned to trust his quality judgement. I received weekend calls from him personally to review my case and keep me abreast of next steps so I always knew where I stood in the process 6. THE BEST EMPLOYMENT LAW FIRM THAT LITIGATES BELONGS TO THE OFFICE OF TY HYDERALLY. - Not only did Ty create a positive outcome for me he did it with grit and class along every step. Parts of the law process are gritty, tedious, and redundant to the point of exhaustion. THIS MAN WILL NOT QUIT NOR WILL HIS TEAM From start to finish Ty's team took me across the finish line. In a simple nutshell here is what he did: 1. Listened. 2. Advised and Guided. 3. Never gave up. 4. Put bad employer in their place. THANK YOU TY! FOR BELIEVING IN ME AND MY CASE. I HAVE MY LIFE BACK THANKS TY HYDERALLY!

** Tully Rinckey's response to my reviews is disingenuous. We already addressed this matter…read moredirectly with the firm. The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. * My experience with Carol Crossett at Tully Rinckey was extremely disappointing and counterproductive. My 88 year old Mother and I retained the firm for a serious matter involving breach of contract, fraud, discrimination, and retaliation under NY Real Property Law § 223-b. Despite having all the necessary information, documentation, and a detailed timeline laid out directly in front of her, the draft demand letter I received was fundamentally flawed.  The work product contained significant, avoidable errors: it was addressed to an employee who no longer worked for the organization, failed to direct the demand to the correct corporate decision-makers, included factually inaccurate information, and omitted critical claims. Rather than producing the strong legal demand we retained the firm to prepare, the draft read more like an invite to a kid's roller skating party than a serious legal document. The worst part about this is the firm expected us to spend more of our money to correct the mistakes that occurred because the firm failed to review the materials they already possessed.  My interactions with Carol Crossett were dismissive and condescending. She refused to consider reasonable requests for property management reassignment--incorrectly labeling such a request as tortious interference--and minimized our concerns regarding accessibility, safety, and my mother's well-being with comments such as "this is not a nursing home".  Carol Crossett's legal analysis was also deeply concerning and disconnected from the reality of our living situation in Latham, New York. She incorrectly asserted that the parking lot was not a common area and suggested that sidewalk maintenance was the responsibility of the individual residents whose apartments they front, rather than the landlord. Incorrect. Ultimately, I did not receive the courteous consideration and/or the zealous advocacy we were promised. The firm's failure to properly review provided materials and their insistence on billing for a defective work product only added to an already stressful situation. We were left with an unusable draft and nearly depleted retainer. I cannot recommend Carol Crossett or Tully Rinckey. Run.
