I would like to extend my gratitude to Bonnaig & Associates for…read moreproviding the most amazing legal advice and negotiation services. After scouring Manhattan for an attorney to assist me with my severance negotiation, my mouse pointer landed on a Bonnaig & Associates link. I called the number listed and Denise Bonnaig, Esq. answered the phone herself. After a brief conversation about my situation, she bolstered my confidence that I may be entitled to more than my company initially offered. Mahima Joishy, Esq. kept me abreast of information throughout the negotiation process. She is a very caring, responsive, knowledgeable, professional and informative attorney. My emails and phone calls were always promptly returned and all of my questions answered. I had the perception they were only working on my case. I could never have had imagined the personal service I would receive from attorneys located In New York City. My advice to anyone seeking the assistance of Bonnaig & Associates, Attorneys and Counselors at Law, is to be transparent and patient. The more information and time they have to work with, the more benefits you will reap. My only regret is that I didn't contact them sooner

I do not recommend using Pardalis & Nohavicka. P&N took too long to analyze my case. During this…read moretime there was a chain of emails sent back and forth. I paid them on 5/20/25 10,000 dollars. By 6/5/25 their team of lawyers failed to give me a proper analysis of my case. I asked for a refund. I had to pay over 5000.00 just for P&N to tell me that they still had not a full analysis of my case. The lawyer I spoke to was not even a real estate lawyer. I had to find another lawyer to take my case. This was an absolute waste of time, energy and money.

I was an 18-year-old college student who attained representation from Akin and Salman after I was…read moresexually assaulted and was extremely displeased with their lack of professionalism and incompetency. I was represented by Olena Tatura who was initially very optimistic about the case but over time grew more and more bitter. The first thing that was alarming about Olena's approach was that she told me that unless I felt It was absolutely necessary, I shouldn't file a police report against the man who sexually assaulted me nor report him to any organization for misconduct. Despite her advice, I still made a police report, and its something the police are investigating and are unlikely to stop. She was not thrilled when I told her what I had done and I believe this was the beginning of her wanting to drop me as a client. When Olena finished drafting the demand letter I approved it to be sent. I was very nervous and so I spent a couple hours researching the law just to find out SHE COULDN'T SUE FOR WHAT SHE WAS FILING FOR. I didn't want to overstep and imply any disrespect to Olena at the time so I never brought it up with her. The next and final time I would meet Olena it would be to sign the paperwork to take this case to court. I met at her office and discussed the case in detail where she mentioned she couldn't sue for what she had down in the demand letter because the law only applies for businesses that have more than 15 employees. Olena and I had talked about this case in great detail before now but in this meeting, she did a total 180 on me and said things such as "how many law firms turned you down before you come to us", "I think you're lying to me", and "maybe you're taking this so hard(The Assault) because of how young you are" A week later, after I signed the paperwork to take this to court they sent me a letter announcing they were dropping me as a client and included no explanation whatsoever. I can not even begin to explain how awful this situation has made me feel. I reached out to Akin And Salman for help and I was made to feel like a victim again. I've searched and scanned my memory to find out where things went wrong and I believe now that Olena was trying to manipulate me by shaming me for my status as a victim to remove any guilt she may have had for how poorly this case was handled. Overall this was an awful experience and it opened up a lot of deep wounds for me. If you are a victim of sexual assault and wish to have representation from people who care and understand and feel like you're in a safe space then I would consult a different law firm. On the bright side, Olena will respond to your emails give or take a couple of days.

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

UPDATE 3/26 The way I was treated behind my back till this…read moreday affects me. 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.

Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman.

I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Altagracia and her team. From our very…read morefirst consultation, she was attentive and empathetic toward our situation, taking the time to truly understand the stress we were under. She strategized with us about our options, clearly outlining the potential costs and risks of pursuing our case so we could make informed decisions from the start. We were even given a recording of the consultation to refer back to later. That thoughtful extra step was invaluable and should be standard practice if it isn't already. This was our first time hiring a lawyer for anything, and we learned a great deal through the process. The office was completely transparent about billable hours and how charges were applied to our retainers, which gave us peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and the little touches made a big difference -- being able to text our attorneys, receiving a call whenever something needed clarification, and even seeing the friendly portraits of the admin team in email replies. It made every interaction feel personal, and I truly appreciated putting a face to the name of the person helping me. They guided us through a very stressful dispute with our landlord, and we felt confident they would secure a settlement in our favor which they did. Altagracia was thorough, detail-oriented, and unwavering in her support as we navigated litigation against our unsavory landlord. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to get out of a 2-year lease without any financial penalties -- something we could never have accomplished on our own. For those who have never hired an attorney before, the cost may feel daunting at first -- but her services are truly worth every penny for the professionalism, skill, and peace of mind she provides. She keeps her clients' long-term goals in focus, giving practical, realistic advice when pursuing "full justice" might not be the most sensible option given the time, cost, and uncertainty of court proceedings. If we ever need a tenant/landlord attorney again, Outerbridge Law will be our first call. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in these matters. Our sincerest gratitude to Altagracia, Charles, Suchita, Heleina, John, and the rest of the Outerbridge team for their support and guidance. -- Rachel & Hector
