I highly recommend Stephen Bilkis for estate planning, elder law as well as for personal injury cases and criminal cases.

He listened patiently-- I tend to go on and on. And he helped me immediately resolve a problem related to my elderly mother. I am so grateful.

8.22.17. Law Offices of James J. Costo, United States…read moreImmigration Attorneys. Main Street, Flushing, NY. U.S.A. Hello friends, it's good to chat with everyone again. Mom used to say "Good legal representation makes all the difference in the outcome of your future and the dreams of your loved ones." Mom must have seen the future for me. I have been lucky to have been born and raised in this "Great Beautiful Nation" and I believe, that The United States of America, is a kind and benevolent country. We have all been graced by the rich innovative bounties of a widely diversified populous. The United States is a wonderful diverse Melting Pot of all peoples from every corner of our world. As a result our free American society, is built on the determination and arduous sacrifices of our forefathers who came to our shores. The strength of America is built upon the dreams envisioned by all of our forefathers. The law offices of James J Costo are located on the 5th Floor office building on Main Street in Flushing. The James Costo Law Firm is comprised of some of the most professional immigration specialists that I have worked with to date. My assigned Court representative is fluent in both the English and Mandarin languages. What a wonderful additional service. This relieves me of the burden and sizable expense of having to hire an additional document transcriber and translator. I was delighted to experience the honesty and transparency that this Law Office brings to the table everyday for the years that they have counseled my family. This law office was able to provide a social security card, work permit card. As well as other legal cards and documents required to petition legal immigration into the United States. I am humbled to be able to share this advice with you. I recommend to anyone that needs the good honest reputable Law Firm that specializes in Immigration to contact these kind folks without delay Hey, there's easy parking nearby and The # 7 Flushing Subway is right outside the door. I have been very grateful for the services and representation of the law offices of James J Costo and all of the Professional Services that they have afforded my family for over the many years. Thank you. JIM D.

Extremely Expensive, Unprofessional, and Unethical - Do Not Hire…read moreI hired this law firm for my husband's immigration case on 12/2/2025 and fired them after a court appearance on 12/10/2025. I paid a $16,500 retainer and was given $9,000 back, meaning the firm kept $7,500 for less than a week of work and one court appearance. During that appearance, the attorney James spoke for less than 30 seconds. Not once did I ever speak to James before the first court appearance--it was all done through his paralegal Michael. I also asked the firm for guidance regarding my husband's DUI and its potential impact on immigration proceedings. They responded that nothing needed to be done, which was inaccurate and materially incomplete advice. Despite charging a very high retainer, the work they performed did not justify the fees. The amount they chose to keep was unprofessional and unethical, as it clearly does not reflect meaningful work. I tried to resolve these issues, but they ignored my requests for over two weeks. They later told me I could "proceed how I wish", effectively ending communication and leaving me to manage critical legal matters on my own. I have also hired two other attorneys who work closely together as immigration and DUI attorneys. Both were flabbergasted at how much this law firm charged and agreed that the way I was treated is unprofessional. Attorneys like this firm give all attorneys a bad name. I paid less than half the cost to these other attorneys and had direct, ongoing contact with both. While I did not hire them for the DUI itself, their misleading and unprofessional guidance directly impacted my ability to make informed decisions. You can find competent lawyers at far lower rates who actually work with their clients--unlike this firm. Because of their unprofessionalism, unethical conduct, and failure to advise, I am now forced to pursue formal remedies, including a bar complaint, fee arbitration, and a legal malpractice claim. Please do not hire this law firm. Take my situation as a learning lesson--find another law firm that will care about your situation and not take advantage of you. Stay away.

Nathan Pinkhasov represented me in the sale of our family's property following my father's passing…read more It was the most significant transaction we would ever have to accomplish in our lifetime and we were fortunate to come across Mr. Pinkhasov. Nathan's steadfast approach helped me cut through a lot of emotional interference and stay on track. We were introduced to him at a most critical moment while my father was still alive and he helped us navigate through all the legalities and complications that would reveal themselves in the process. Regardless of whether the challenge was expected or a surprise, Nathan was always able to respond quickly and effectively. It was also pleasure working with Christopher Grayson Esq. who began working more closely with me toward the end of this sale. Mr. Grayson helped us efficiently prioritize and finalize action items left before closing but more importantly he allowed me to vent many frustrations I would experience in the process. Two incredible lawyers in my corner! THANK YOU!
