Working alongside sharp legal counsel makes all the difference when complex financial and…read moreprocedural issues intersect.

I went into this divorce process scared and hoping someone would just tell me everything would be…read moreeasy and work out perfectly. That's not what Debbie did, and honestly, I'm glad she didn't. She told me the hard truths right from the start. There was no sugarcoating, no false promises. She's a total straight shooter, and in a situation like this, that's exactly what I needed. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear, but it helped me make real decisions instead of living in denial. She takes the initiative without me having to chase her down or beg for updates. She's always two steps ahead, thinking about what needs to happen next. Super involved, very personal, like she actually cares about how this affects me and my life, not just another file on her desk. She got me remote court appearances when I really needed that flexibility, which made a huge difference with my schedule and stress level. And the communication? Unreal. Emails at all hours; early morning, late night, weekends. She was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging wondering what was going on. If you want someone who will fight for you, keep it real, and actually be there when you need them, she's the one. Highly recommend.

Right after I hired her, she begged me to write a good review about her because she said that her…read moreother clients wrote bad reviews about her and she was worried that she would lose her business. So I did her favor for writing a good review about her. However, later I learned that she is a full of scams. She refused to provide evidences that could end the case right there to the judge to prolong the case in order for her to gain more money. She took $30,000 within 10 months from me and didn't resolve anything. I just fired her. She claimed herself as " Children come first" however, she kept ignoring my concerns about my children"s safety and laughing. Even when I have a audio recording of my children"s father abusing my child physically and crying and calling mommy for help.... She does not care about the children at all. She only care about how she can fool people to gain more money. She is abusive, toxic, disrespectful, manipulative and twist everything. She constantly gossip about her other clients disrespectfully. I would never recommend her to anyone. I'm palling to take this to the court.

Cheryl was kind enough to remain in my budget while still treating my case with utmost importance, a luxury most legal representatives do not provide. Not only did Cheryl take the time to explain every step of the process in great detail, she treated me as a person. Most representatives will simply look at a case as another stack of papers which can be disheartening, especially when you are going through a troublesome legal ordeal. I am very lucky to have met Cheryl and I would certainly return to her in the future.

I hired Joshua to represent me in both a custody matter and a related child support matter, and…read morelooking back on the entire experience, I am genuinely glad that I chose him. From the very beginning, Joshua was honest with me. I came into this process knowing what I wanted, and instead of making promises just to make me feel good, he explained the law, told me what was realistic, and was upfront about what would be difficult to achieve. At the same time, I never felt like he dismissed what I wanted. He advocated for me while also helping me understand when we needed to approach something differently or find another way to protect my son and me. Communication was another thing I appreciated. Joshua gave me his direct number and was very responsive. There were times he answered or called me back even while spending time with his own family, which showed me that he genuinely cared about what was happening with my case. He always treated me with respect, reassured me when I needed it, and took my concerns seriously while still giving me honest legal counsel about what was reasonable. Because I had never gone through anything like this before, I also appreciated that after court he would explain what had actually happened and put the outcome into perspective for me. There were moments when I didn't necessarily realize how well something had gone until Joshua explained why it was significant. What stood out to me most was that he wasn't just interested in getting the case over with. When an initial child support amount came back much lower than he believed was appropriate based on the circumstances, he was honest that we shouldn't simply consider it a win and move on. He encouraged me to obtain additional information so that we could continue advocating for a fairer result. I didn't get absolutely everything I originally asked for, but Joshua was very clear from the beginning that he couldn't promise that. What he did promise was that he would do his best to get what he reasonably could and make sure I was protected in the areas where compromise was necessary. I believe he did exactly that. Beyond being a good attorney, Joshua has a personality. We laughed, developed our own little inside jokes, and built a relationship throughout what was otherwise a very stressful process. He also worked with me financially, which I greatly appreciated. Hopefully I won't need another family law attorney anytime soon, but if I did, I would hire Joshua again. I walked away feeling that he worked hard for my son and me, kept me grounded in reality, and made sure my voice was heard throughout the process. I am grateful I chose him to represent me.

From the very beginning, he came across as arrogant and rude. I reached out to him because I need…read morelegal representation--I'm not an attorney. I explained that I've been involved in litigation for a long time and that I've been representing myself in my child support case, but I'm now at the point where I need professional help because I can't continue doing this on my own or pretend to know everything I'm doing. Despite that, he managed to insult and patronize me. When people seek legal counsel, it's because they are looking for professionalism and guidance--not a lecture about how little they know about the law. For anyone already dealing with the stress and financial burden of court proceedings, hiring someone who is insensitive and obnoxious would only make the situation worse. To make matters even more surprising, this was all in the context of requesting a $10,000 retainer, which was truly mind-blowing given the way he conducted himself.

I found Janice through MetLife Group legal. In the beginning of the process her assistant was very…read moreprofessional. After drafting the pre-nup, Janice ignored my questions over a week. We were coming up on our wedding and needed it to be finalized. She told me she would call at a certain time on multiple occasions and never called. When I finally managed to get her on the phone, she was knowledgeable and helpful but said "we have time." She forgot my wedding was less than 2 weeks away. Her drafting was sloppy, in the final version she left placeholders and highlights. She even left the last name of an old client in the document and interchangeably used he/her. The Thursday before my wedding, I removed all highlights, added schedules, and PDF'd the document myself.

Apparently I was "too much time spent on" not worthy, charged me a premium and had someone who didn't even get his law degree yet represent me. By the way spodek will not represent you. His unqualified "lawyers" who didn't pass the bar exam will. Shady business Absolutely disgusting behavior from front desk ms Williams. And empty promises. Honest opinion. Never met Spodek once. Representation and communication was weak and the rate for service were high. After 32 hrs of community service $5000 and a stain on my record, DEFINITIVELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR HIRE Mind you my charges were 2 misdemeanors and I had a clean record. Funny part is. I was actually the victim in it all. Not pleased. Please save your money and go to another firm. I've attached a photo of how dismissive spodek is and even talked in a way that made me fear him for not taking down the honest review. But I think people should know the kind of firm this is.

After working with Jeffrey Berke, I have a renewal outlook toward New Yorkers. He is that one in a thousand. His genuineness is real. They don't make people like him anymore. He is an amazing, knowledge lawyer, and more importantly, a descent person. The judge knows his work and have the utmost respect for him. I've seen it! Most all my reviews in yelp are only negative. This review is one of few, if it's not the only positive review I've given. I want to share this honest experience because during a vulnerable period in life, when someone is trying to destroy me, a stranger i accidentally found on yelp, went above and beyond what I expected to get the necessary evidence to protect my interest. I only marveled at what just transpired, after realizing how fortuitous it was for me to find Jeffrey Berke.
