I can't recommend my Lisa enough! After my accident, she immediately took charge of everything, so…read moreI didn't have to worry about dealing with the insurance companies or the legal process. She stayed on top of every detail from start to finish. She was always available whenever I had questions or needed an update. She was compassionate, understanding, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process, which made a stressful situation so much easier. I also received my settlement quickly, and everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Hopefully, I'm never in another accident, but if I ever need an attorney again, she will be my first call. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer after an accident.

I was listened to attentively and actively. His information was, to me, invaluable as I'd called firms, spoken to other office staff members and was just let down again and again.

His concern and care was enough for me to place this here in thanks for his valuable time and effort.

I was referred to Jaroslawicz and Jaros by a doctor, who may have been paid to refer me…read more My case was grossly mishandled and the lawyers appointed to handle it, did not read any of my charts or ask for updated information on the status of my health or anything else that might be slightly relevant to the case. If you hire them, you may very well be throwing out a reasonable case. Moreover, David Jaroslawicz signed an agreement before uploading documents to e-courts (NYC's online, public database) that clearly stated that none of the documents contained personal information. Of course, in line with their careful and attentive nature, they uploaded my social security number, address, phone number and date of birth all on one document. Do you know how I know that? Because someone I know looked up my name and found ALL of that information, then left me a frantic voicemail. Admittedly, I had been advised that the firm's namesake was (verbatim) "a slimy guy," by another lawyer who had previously worked with them, but then again, I was so used to receiving no helpful legal advice from lawyers, that I suppose my ignorance to it was to be expected. One caveat at my settlement talk was apparently that I had [at the advice of my lawyer, Ms. Younie Choi] deleted facebook before my deposition. I am not sure how they managed to hold their own legal advice against me, but I was berated in a random, quiet part of the office by an associate of the firm, as Ms. Choi quietly watched me take crap for her advice, while I tried not to implicate her or throw her under the bus for her advice, the way she had done to me for listening to it. The second damnable piece of evidence was that I used my first and middle name, as I feel uncomfortable displaying my, "real," [last] name on facebook [such has been the case for a very long time]. A third problem was that I used a front facing camera on my Macbook, which took a mirror image photo, this is of course entirely verifiable with 0 margin for error (don't you love technology and law firms relevant enough to know how to use it?), but in their own words, they, "would not be able to convince a jury." They gave me an option to find another lawyer after the settlement hearing. (Around Christmas and New Year's) and they threatened to withdraw from the case if I opted to pursue it, rather than to settle. At the end of the day, the amount of stress, anxiety, aggravation and debt that I acquired when I opted for this firm, made it completely not worth the settlement (which was not enough cover my debts or my medical treatment going forward). The amount of sheer incompetence was unparalleled. The fact that they somehow manage to balance that prodigious volume of incompetence, carelessness and a complete lack of accountability, is really the most impressive thing about this firm. In this respect, they are excellent at multi-tasking These guys are excellent for fat people who sue McDonald's, women who sue athletes and people who allege that their herpes came from Sephora. If you have a real injury, get a real law firm. If you hire these guys, you'll get a novelty firm. It is the intellectual equivalent of taking a cap gun to the OK Corral. That's my take, anyway. I wonder how long it's gonna take before they try to get my take taken down. (Feel free to google "David Jaroslwicz" and see what the NY Times/NY Daily News, etc. have to say about him. Unrelated, but objective.) Update: 4/4/17 Abe, I am sorry you feel that way. You have grossly misjudged the situation and as I told you in response to your private message, I do not feel the need to personally attack you or to assail your credibility, but you are entirely wrong.

In 1997 I was hit by a car at 7 months pregnant, almost lost the baby, one of their lawyers came to…read morethe hospital and told me not to worry about anything that my case was a "win". I gave birth after many complications and kept calling them while I was being given the run around with medical papers I had to get filled out, finally got all the paperwork they needed got in contact with them and I was told they had sent me a letter rejecting the case. Why didn't no one told me this while I was getting all the required paperwork? The receptionist asked me if I was ok, if I can walk, if the baby was alive, then went on to ask me what is it that I want from them. Complete arrogance and unprofessional. My daughter was diagnosed with mental retardation and I have been suffering with sciatic nerve damage and depression from this. I still think about these people after all of these years, how horrendous people they are. I had to get another lawyer who told me that trolman are known for selling their cases with insurance companies, give the clients the run around because after a year there is barely any case. I only got $3000 for everything. Hopefully there is a God that sees all.

What I came to learn about Rachel through the two years she worked the case were her tenacity and boldness, the tough lioness that lay beneath her kind exterior. Rachel has every card a good attorney needs to play. She saw our case through. With all its subtleties and difficulties, she never balked. A preexisting injury did not cause her to shy away, nor a deceased defendant. She saw us to the end and to a settlement better than ever expected. Rachel always responded immediately to messages, was kind and proactive. I felt I had a soldier on my side with all the right weapons to take on even the insurance industry. The words I would use to describe Rachel: empathetic, strong, patient, unflappable and positive. She will fight for you, and she will win an excellent outcome for you. I unequivocally recommend her as the best personal injury attorney in the NY metro area if you want personal attention in a world of disaffection.

I contacted another law firm (not R&L), shortly after my accident, to see if I could get some type of settlement from the building owner/management. I have never had to secure a lawyer before, and the truth is there seem to be lots of 'opportunist' slip & fall type lawyers out there, so I wasn't really sure who to contact. Someone else referred me to another law firm, but where I later figured out that they don't seem to specialize in slip & fall. This other law firm did not take much action on my case (or keep me updated on what was going on), and now, a full two months after my accident, it seems they have yet to contact the building where my accident occurred. Seeing as this other law firm apparently was not going to do much regarding my case, I decided to contact another law firm (R&L) to get their thoughts. I ended up speaking with Andrew Levine, and, based upon my very brief conversation with him, he seemed very forthright, professional and like he really knows his stuff, as to how slip & fall cases should be handled. At this point in time, it seems unrealistic that I could get any type of settlement (due to so much time having already passed); I only wish I had contacted Raphaelson & Levine, initially, as I may have had a better outcome.

They somehow managed to get a hold of my insurance and decided to file a claim without knowing who was involved in the accident or what had happened.

If you need assistance, I highly recommend seeking counsel from another firm. Hopefully, they read this and realize their mistake, leading to the closure of their firm.
