No more online service providers for me, especially when they've messed up my last project! I came…read moreto Gouchev Law by a friend's referral, I believe they had client agreements made, but my own experience began with a trademark and the entire process and customer service was great! Jana, the managing attorney at the firm, explained everything I needed to know about trademark registration. As I'm on the other side of the country, she was gracious enough to hold a video conference with me. She has been so helpful with the trademark application that I decided to involve her services in other business matters such as reviewing contracts and helping us form legally sound working relationships. I really never thought our business attorney would become so valuable. I'm glad I gave them a try, and truly cannot recommend them enough - great to work with, very helpful, well connected, insightful, and honest.

I finally have the opportunity to write a review on my experience with Jana and her law firm. If…read moreyou are a SMALL BUSINESS I would NOT look to Jana for services or guidance on anything legal. The only reason I'm giving the law firm 3 stars is because Jana put two separate paralegals one on each of my two issues/cases, which I paid the firm to handle. Dorthy was one attorney Jana put in charge of one of my cases. Dorothy was very kind, took time to call and speak with me often. Even though the outcome was not in my favor, Dorothy explained EVERYTHING to me, as I was trying to get a better understanding of my rights etc. Now the second attorney did not explain anything to me when it came to my second case/issue. I explained to Jana that I wasn't happy with that and she got on a call right away to explain things. However, I still never received a clear understanding of what I was paying for and once I realized I was charged $1,900 for only a google search with no real explanation or insight I was rightfully upset! I complained a second time to Jana via email and she replied back with disgust that she never received complaints or has never had unhappy clients. She was clearly annoyed by my lack of understanding and my asking for understanding, as well as my dissatisfaction with the lack of service I received for what I payed. Let's be clear. If you want to spend $1,900 for someone to only do a patent search and not explain anything to you once the search is done, then definitely hire this firm. However there are other attorneys who will jump on a call, not limit you or the amounts of time you to 3 calls only. Look for an attorney/law firm who definitely wants to see your small business win! Not one who is looking for their next pay check aka you!

Mr. Pitcoff is the most professional attorney I have ever met. He is responsible, efficient and…read moreproductive. Mr. Pitcoff took care of my case (real estate) as of his own and made me feel safe and protected over the power of law and his professionalism. Mr. Pitcoff is able to explain difficult and lengthy legal terms/documents into simple and refined language. Furthermore, the entire legal consultation was done via phone calls and emails. To this day, I still can't believe you can receive such professional legal service without even meeting the lawyer! I strongly recommend Mr. Pitcoff as your choice of attorney. Schedule a call with him first and you will be in good hands.

Hands down the worst legal service I've ever dealt with. A complete disgrace of a firm…read more I contacted them over a highly sensitive business matter and that was my first mistake. The only competent attorney I dealt with was conveniently terminated, which should tell you everything you need to know about how this place is run. Her replacement was an arrogant, condescending disaster. He spoke to me like I was an inconvenience, blamed me for issues that were entirely within his responsibility, and showed zero professionalism or basic human decency. I was talked down to, rushed, and pressured into accepting terms I wasn't comfortable with just to get this nightmare over with. Then came the real incompetence. I was explicitly told that the firm would accept service on my behalf -- yet I was still served legal papers at my home residence. Total failure. That alone proves how careless and disorganized they are. It caused unnecessary panic, stress, and chaos because I was falsely reassured everything was "handled." It absolutely was not. And after all of that? They had the audacity to charge my card $3,500 for services that were not rendered. No protection, no execution, no results -- just a bill. Pure incompetence paired with shameless billing. This firm doesn't just "drop the ball" -- they don't even show up to the game. If you value your money, privacy, or sanity, stay far away. There are law firms that actually care about their clients. This is not one of them.

John clearly explained my rights to me and the school backed off. John took on my case when most other lawyers didn't see it as worth the time. For other lawyers who would take my case, these people wanted me to settle and pay this school a settlement payment and sign an NDA. John helped me avoid paying any more money to con artists and I don't have an NDA binding me to silence.

Most people looking for a litigation attorney focus on the wrong things -- responsiveness, bedside…read moremanner, how the consultation feels. None of that wins your case. What wins is the quality of what your attorney puts in front of the judge and whether they know the system well enough to use it. Gary represented us in Kings County Supreme Court. The landlord retained Rosenberg & Estis -- one of the largest landlord-side real estate litigation firms in New York City, with over 200 attorneys. Case dismissed in its entirety. All arrears waived. New caselaw established. He assessed the case within hours, identified the legal theory that won, made his own calls about what evidence to use and what to discard, and moved for summary judgment at exactly the right moment. Litigation is slow, Gary won't sugarcoat anything while you learn how to manage patience. His role isnt to keep you comfortable. He's working the case, not managing your anxiety. His work on our case established new caselaw -- the court held that Good Cause Eviction protections apply to common law ejectment actions, closing a loophole landlords were exploiting to bypass tenant protections. That precedent now protects tenants across NYC. Every other tenant in our building -- facing the same landlord, the same facts, the same condo conversion -- either lost their case or gave up. We were the only ones who fought and won. The difference was the attorney. If you're dealing with anything involving real estate in New York -- landlord-tenant disputes, lease issues, ejectment, condo conversions -- Gary knows these courts, this body of law, and how to make procedure work in your favor. That's what you're paying for.
