I highly recommend him to anyone looking for competent, reliable representation and someone who will guide you through every step of the home‑selling process with clarity and professionalism.

However, my wife found them to be inattentive with many phone calls unanswered. We switched to Connors and Sullivan and were very satisfied with the service and advice. Since then, they handled my mother's estate and ours as well, all the time, completely satisfied with the level of service and advice. This is not a Park Ave firm with fancy offices, they are geared toward working class people and their offices are modern functional. They are a big firm and the staff does turn over, so if you need a firm where you must have the same lawyer each time a legal issue needs attention, then you should probably continue searching. However, if good legal service at reasonable prices is most important, then Connors and Sullivan is a great firm to consider.
