John Martoccio has been a real friend in a season of need. I was very distraught going through…read moresome really scary marriage issues and he was there to comfort in the process and to guide me out the other side. I especially like how he automatically emails me all the correspondence from both sides so I know exactly what is happening at all time. And then he calls to explain things legal to me, so I would not worry. I have heard from friends that their lawyers want to stir up conflict to keep things going longer. This was not anything what John was doing. He was always trying to bring the matter to a close and to consider the cost versus the benefits in every decision. I hope to never need his services again, yet I am so glad that he is on my side. Sincerely, Joe.

Expensive, impersonal service -- disappointing experience…read more I had a disappointing experience with this firm a few years ago during my divorce. I initially believed I would be working with John the lead attorney, but I was instead passed off to junior associates--even though I was billed at the same high rate. Despite my case being relatively simple (one property and sole custody already agreed upon), I was charged thousands of dollars before anything was ever filed. Most of the cost came from back-and-forth emails, phone calls, and internal communication--not progress on my case. After months of billing, they had only drafted a decree and pushed me toward deeper financial investigation I didn't request. I eventually stopped working with them after spending over $5,000 with no resolution or court filing. If you're looking for clear communication, personalized service, or cost transparency, I would recommend asking very specific questions before signing a retainer.

I was referred to Alex Michalakos from a good friend who also was extremely happy with his…read moreservices. Not only is he an extremely competent attorney he is one of the very few trustworthy ones. I solicited his services when I had a scrupulous tenant with a bottom feeder attorney trying to extort 10 grand from me for things like missing light bulbs and window coverings that didn't meet their liking. I was in a bind because my first attorney David Lewin was completely incompetent and left me scrambling to find a new attorney. The abridged version of the 3 year ordeal is he put together such a well documented and brilliant defense in the end the judge made them drop the case and walk away. Because I was so happy with his services I used him again for a different condo and didn't trust the attorneys the board hired for the building sale. My decision was confirmed when he found several missed items by their attorneys and saved the owners thousands in closing costs. My condo manager was so impressed with his work she took his information for any future legal matters. I recommend Mr. Michalakos with the highest praises and will continue to work with him in the future.

Well I'm so glad I randomly chose the Shammas Law firm thanks to his previous yelp reviews. Michael Shammas was personable, patient and most important available whenever I had a question. You know that feeling when you know someone isn't listening to you or they're trying to rush you off the phone? That wasn't the case with Michael. He got me exactly the settlement I was looking for too! I can't stress this enough- he is the best!

And it was so good to contact him cause he made every document and consulting through email and phone calls. It was his consideration cause I live too far from downtown so I couldn't go there that often. Also I kept text him,call him,email him(yes, I was a very annoying client) but every time I contact him he responded immediately and kindly. I want everybody know he's a really competant lawyer and he knows what he have to do. It took only 5months everything has done, from I got a first call from him to I got a settlement offer. Every process was so fast and easy. I just sent some signed paper and he handled every other headache things. I'll definitely highly recommend him to everyone I know, hire him again when I need attorney. I need to say that I'm so happy now and thank you. You don't know how much I thank you, Michael.

Life-Changing Representation - Twenty years ago, I suffered a significant spinal injury and severe…read moremental health damage from specialized military training. For years, I was deceived into believing I wasn't eligible for benefits. Despite clear medical records showing my on-duty injuries, I was repeatedly stonewalled by bureaucratic processes and a legal framework designed to deny, deny, deny. By mid-2024, I faced yet another denial. Frustrated but determined, I started reaching out to attorneys. I spoke to a lot of them. For me, the right vibe and connection are essential--if the relationship doesn't feel right, I won't move forward. After all, attorneys get a portion of the back pay, so the decision has to feel good both professionally and personally. I passed on several other attorneys and ultimately chose Jim Comerford to represent me. And brothers and sisters, my life has been forever changed. Jim took me from a measly 10% for tinnitus to 80% and finally to 100% disability in an impressively short amount of time. The best part? Hearing Jim's personal passion for my case. As veterans, we're used to feeling like "just another number," but with Jim, it's different. His heart is truly focused on you. You'll feel it. You'll see it. If you're tired of being played by "the system," do yourself a favor and tag Jim Comerford into the ring. He'll fight for you like you deserve. Thank you, Jim, for giving me my life back.
