Despite him ranting about things I've already gone through. I was born disabled but he doesn't have time to do a full consult for free he said on the phone despite him assuring me via email that he would. He's supposed to be the knowledgeable professional. I was supposed to have a free consult. I should add - I called 4 minutes after our appointment was supposed to start and he 'stepped out of the office' for him to call back about 17 minutes after the meeting was supposed to start while I sat with major anxiety. So if I had gone in person, he wouldn't have even been there. Then, he didn't even listen to my case!! Said something about me wanting a case from 10,000 feet high? No dude, I was born disabled and have been fighting this on my own since 2009 and was referred to this abysmal agency. If I could give ZERO stars I would. They should specify that they only want easy imminent physical disabilities, else they have no time or care. I have it all recorded if anyone wants to listen! and then to boot, he sent a reply email that was worse than his phone call. I have pictures of those too ... Saul has better energy than this guy.

Here's my beef with this company- they don't provide a fee until AFTER they've reviewed your…read morefinances. I sat through an introductory consultation where every account and asset I own was provided. I asked the associate upfront what the fee(s) would be to establish a trust. Her response was that Mr. Pierro would be in to provide that. It was pretty stunning to hear $6k and I am sure if I presented with fewer assets the fee would be different, otherwise there would be transparency. I've since established the trust, and that plus a will, power of attorney, and health care proxy were all executed with a different law office, specializing in estate planning for $3k.

beware of Aaron Oconnor. Words cant give justice to how much of a nightmare it was working with…read morehim. He is the The managing partner in Latham. He literally abandoned me 2 weeks before we were due to settle because i didnt feel comfortable with what he negotiated. The negotiations took place off the record without my knowledge and nobody present. He tried bullying me and my younger brother into consenting to the agreement. When i asked for information and documents i was ignored. He was extremely immature, lazy and temperamental. If i was skeptical of anything he would get mad asking me if i was a lawyer. He would attempt to belittle me and lie so blatantly without even attempting to cover the lie up. there was no conversation he would just talk over you. He wants to tell you what hes going to do and what your going to do. He has no sentiment towards anyone at all. Jacob V. who is/was an associate there was assigned to my case originally. No complaints with him. He immediately went to work. Answered our questions. Communicated effectively. He was unwavering the minute we hired him for representation. According to Aaron he is no longer with the firm and thats how i ended up with Aaron. There may be other lawyers in the firm that are competent and wont treat you like a peasant. I dont know. This was my experience and it was nothing but anxiety the moment Aaron took our case. When we went our separate ways there were not any notes, documents, records of anything. He just pretty much winged it i guess who knows.

I highly recommend the law services of Larry DeAngelus and staff: He is the best!

Since January I have attempted to contact this law office via phone and email many times. I have left several voicemails and sent several emails, all are unanswered. To date, there has been no contact from the lawyer and we are entering the 4th month since the lawyer received full payment for services.

I would like to express my profound gratitude to Mr. Stephen Coffey, the lead attorney on my injury…read morecase. On July 4, 2022, while returning home, I was struck by a car in a hit-and-run accident that left me with a spinal injury. As I began searching for legal help, friends recommended the O'Connell and Aronowitz firm to me. They said this law firm was the finest in upstate New York. After working with Mr. Coffey and his team, I wholeheartedly agree. I am well aware that Mr. Coffey is a highly accomplished attorney, and I have no doubt that my case was not among the big or high-profile cases he was handling. Yet Mr. Coffey gave my case -- and me personally -- his full attention. From the very beginning and throughout the entire process, I felt respected, safe, optimistic, and confident that the situation was under control. The outcome of the case exceeded all my expectations. I was deeply moved by the level of effort and care Mr. Coffey and his team invested on my behalf. For me, an immigrant to the United States from Russia, this experience encapsulated the very spirit of the American justice system. In my view, Mr. Coffey is an exceptional professional who combines extraordinary legal expertise with the highest ethical standards and genuine kindness. I am confident that anyone seeking legal counsel would be fortunate to have his assistance.
