Gus Haritos was my lawyer when I first bought my apartment 28 years ago. I remember him patiently…read moreand carefully explaining everything to me, as I had absolutely no knowledge of real estate transactions. And when I was looking for a lawyer to sell my apartment in 2025, I found that Gus was still practicing. Thank God. This time, the sale process took a considerable amount of time. It took almost total of a year to find a buyer and to complete sale process. He was responsive to emails, even outside of regular business hours, and handled a difficult buyer with great patience. With his reasonable legal fees, the expertise cultivated over years of experience, and his wonderful character, he provided exceptional service. Highly recommend.

Always available by phone or email, willing to explain terms and put it in a language you understand, he went above and beyond for us, truly. This was a difficult and complicated sale, and he supported and advised us every step of the way. The closing took 6 hours-well, there he was with us, the whole time. My husband had used him on a sale before, we used him again now, and if there is a need for his services again in the future, there is no one else for us other than Mr. Haritos. He is amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!

So when you come across an incident where you are literally screwed, its hard to seek help that you can trust. Let me just say you can count on Elite Personal Injury. Recently my friend was hit crossing the street in Brooklyn. Apparently the driver didn't see her. So with no health coverage and no benefits on the job, she was unable to make money, get legitimate professional health care, and was emotionally distraught. When I went to visit her she was sitting on her couch with a swollen leg that was the same size from thigh on down looking helpless. Thank goodness for Elite Personal Injury. We gave them a call, after the free consultation with a friendly and professional customer agent, she was educated about her case and what she could possibly be entitled to. I was impressed by how knowledgeable and patient the agent was. It is rare that you get professional assistance with a genuine concern for your well being. Once she was assigned to a personal injury lawyer and confirmed representation my friend spirits were lifted immediately. From the service it was evident that these lawyers specializes in personal injury law and employ the best of the best. They were very consistent with communication and left no grey areas with details pertaining to her case. The best part for me was that they weren't paid until she was paid! I'm glad the case was successful and my friend and finally move forward. I would definitely recommend Elite Personal Injury Law Firm.

I knew very little about toxic mold poisoning or that there was such a thing as a mold attorney…read morewhich is really personal injury, until I had to get a special attorney from Elite Personal Injury Law Firm. I knew that the back, master bedroom of my co-op once smelled strongly of mold, and I could see mold spores on the walls. Ever since I moved in, there was a problem with leakage in the walls. This happened only twice and I cleaned the wall with bleach. The room was one of my favorites and I used to like to relax and watch T.V in there. I never got sick or anything like that but when my Aunt came from Florida to stay with me, I was using the back room as a quest room. I gave no thought to the mold problem we had in the past. My aunt got terribly sick, with what seemed like a very bad cold that wouldn't go away but got worse. She said she was surprised because she usually didn't get colds. I did take her to a doctor who prescribed medications but she remained ill. We went for a second opinion and it turned out she has an allergy and the medication she received did take away her symptoms But. My best friend was the one who told me about how sick toxic mold can make a person and made me read an article about it that she had found in health magazine. I started to worry wondering if, at some point, I could get sick. She suggested I call a lawyer and sat with me as we searched for one and and found Elite Injury Law Firm. I'd always been nervous calling law firms but the representative who took my call was so nice. When I hesitantly explained that I thought my home may have a mold problem she assured me that this actually was in the line of a personal injury case. What I liked about this law firm was their patient in explaining whether or not I could have a case. Usually if a lawyer can't tell you right away if you have a case they start to get curt. The advice I got was easy to understand and I intend to follow it. I think Elite Personal Injury was honest about the advice they gave and there are a few things I can do. to to ease my mind about this situation. This was not a quick call either and I got a chance to speak with a lawyer. They were extremely helpful!

Seth D. Schraier was assigned to represent me on or about 2024 in a New York Family Court child…read moresupport violation matter. Throughout the representation, communication was inconsistent. Calls I was asked to make went unanswered or were not returned, and requests for updates often went unresolved. Despite being counsel of record, I was repeatedly asked what actions I wanted taken, rather than being provided with clear legal strategy and proactive guidance. I also had a confidential address on file. Seth stated he would redact my medical records before submission to the court and did not do so, which resulted to serious purge demand being $10,000 or "bringing my toothbrush" to my next court appearance. After the Support Magistrate issued a willfulness finding, I asked counsel to object and submit properly redacted medical documentation. That was not done as requested. At a later appearance, counsel stated on the record that certified medical records had been subpoenaed, but this did not occur when initially requested. These delays and omissions contributed to adverse outcomes in my case. Clients deserve timely communication, clear legal direction, and follow through. My experience fell short of that standard.

WARNING: Incompetence, Dishonesty & Abandoned Contract - DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER…read more BOTTOM LINE: I hired Schraier to revise a support agreement, but he abandoned the contract despite being fully paid and lied for months about finalizing it. His incompetence has caused lasting harm to my child and resulted in major financial losses. ________________________________________ UPDATE: Years later, his lies and negligence still haunt my case. He repeatedly promised the agreement was coming "next week" or "Monday," but it never arrived. Schraier is a pathological liar who failed me and my child. Instead of taking responsibility, his response to my review was: "Paul, considering that it's been 3.5 years since your case and my legal representation ended, it's clear that something recent has caused you a lot of emotion and grief, and I hope that you get whatever help you can to get you through this." This fake concern is nothing more than an attempt to deflect from the fact that he walked out on a paid contract and failed his client. Instead of addressing his professional failures, he tried to dismiss my experience as personal grief. His response is insulting and a blatant attempt to shift blame. I urge anyone considering him to investigate thoroughly before hiring. ________________________________________ DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE HIRING ANY LAWYER: Call at least three past clients for references. Compare him with other attorneys before making a costly mistake. Read unbiased reviews from multiple sources, not just the ones he promotes. ________________________________________ SUMMARY OF HIS FAILURES: 1. ABANDONED A PAID CONTRACT & LIED ABOUT IT * Ignored 20+ emails about the support agreement. * Lied repeatedly, saying it was coming "next week." * Eventually stopped responding entirely, forcing me to pay for costly legal fixes. * The opposing lawyer had already agreed to lower support, yet Schraier failed to act. Result: Financial devastation and emotional strain. 2. POOR NEGOTIATOR - AVOIDED WORK * He was outmaneuvered by opposing counsel and failed to secure a fair agreement. * He negotiated directly from the opposing lawyer's draft and only made changes when I explicitly told him to. * His delays and weak strategy made my situation worse. Result: A bad agreement that harmed me and my child. 3. CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH OPPOSING LAWYER * I asked if he had a conflict of interest with opposing counsel since he had upcoming cases with her. * He denied any conflict, but his weak negotiation and failure to advocate for me raised major concerns. Result: My case may not have been his priority. 4. DISHONEST BILLING PRACTICES * He bid very low to win the case but then failed to do the necessary work. 5. UNPROFESSIONAL, UNRESPONSIVE & UNPREPARED FOR COURT * Ignored key legal deadlines and responded slowly to urgent issues. * Waited until the last minute to prepare me for court. * Was frequently late to hearings, leaving me unprepared. * Opposing counsel had to remind him to complete his own promised work! Result: Weak legal representation, stress, and costly delays. 6. PRESSURED ME TO ACCEPT A BAD AGREEMENT * He knew it was a terrible deal but pressured me to sign anyway. * Ignored critical evidence that would have helped my case. * The opposing attorney rushed in a last-minute draft before court, and Schraier didn't object. Result: A custody and support agreement that left me and my child worse off. 7. NEGLIGENCE & FAILURE TO ACT ON EVIDENCE * My ex violated most of the prior agreement, and Schraier failed to act. * He did not address compliance issues or seek court protections for my child. * He dismissed parental alienation as a past issue that couldn't be helped. Result: My child was harmed, and the violations continued unchecked. ________________________________________ FINAL WARNING: AVOID THIS LAWYER AT ALL COSTS Finally - a note on these rating sites. They are not honest. There are a few things that happen: 1 - There are companies that go to lawyers and promise to get good reviews on these sites. Schraier especially uses this method of getting business. 2 - Basically - an easy case - you think he did well and they get a good review out of the client. Difficult case or one that Schraier abandons like mine - and you get screwed but it is overwhelmed by the "good" reviews. 3 - Avvo in particular is a referral site for lawyers - DO YOU THINK THEY ARE HONEST? You know the answer. Cheaters like Schraier depend on that. You lose - your money, your child, and regret it for a lifetime.
