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

I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

I do not recommend using Pardalis & Nohavicka. P&N took too long to analyze my case. During this…read moretime 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.

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. Despite unexpected challenges that prolonged the process--due to factors outside of the firm's control--Max remained diligent and unwavering in his approach. 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.

** 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.

Wow, this guy has to be the worst attorney I've ever had to deal with. OMG. No urgency, no regard…read morefor his / her clients, no regard for the brokers on the deal. After negotiating the contract with my customer and the sellers, it took the attorney 5 days to write an addendum for a price change of 50k and then another week to get it to the sellers attorney. Once the sellers attorney returned the docs to Steiners office, it took them another 5 days to fax one page to the buyer who lives out of state and the buyer signed and sent via overnight the deposit ck along with the signed document via next day priority mail. Another week passes and now the Michael, himself says that he didn't received the package. Still no urgency, no offering of solutions, then he has the balls to get smart with me on the phone because he was closed? How about getting someone to take your packages while you're away? How about notifying your clients as to when you will be away? How about getting the tracking slips that are left on your door after several attempts by the post office? How about giving a crap about the people who bring you business. One word, LOSER. Thumbs down and use at your own risk.
