While I was doing Estate Planning they made my family (including 2 little ones that showed up to the office) feel like I was part of the Eghrari Law Family. My 18 month old really appreciated the selection of snacks available in the office. I appreciated all the recommendations from Mark and Stephen with my Estate Plan, but the best part of the team was all the supporting roles in the office including: Christine, Peggy, Lourdes, Gianna and especially Julianna. I know I'm probably leaving people out, but everyone in the office was so friendly. Almost everything worked out seamless, but if there were any hiccups along the way the Eghrari Law team fixed them quickly. I was so comfortable (and more importantly, my wife was so comfortable) with this group and so happy that this is the team that I get to continue to work with in the future!

Although, admittedly first time home buyer here, but there has got to be better real estate…read moreattorneys than these people. I never once felt like I was their client. Completely inept, and void of personal responsibility - especially Dina. Whatever it is she does there. I was looking forward to meeting her, but she sent some other liar for hire in her place. A few examples of their illogical and unprofessional approach to real estate law: told me at first meet/contract signing that their fee was contingent upon how many calls I would place to them during the home buying process. early on sent emails to another person because our names were similar (seriously, this was her rationalization, rather than apologize and, you know, proof read our names/email) - followed that up with consistently misspelling my name and then defending it by saying the seller's agent/attorney misspelled it (rather than, I don't know, apologizing and promising to proof read things better). finally, she literally did the biding of the sellers and their attorney by incessantly applying pressure to me, my wife, my lending rep, the underwriter, compliance et al. threatening that I may lose my deposit, and another time mentioned that how the practice didn't want me to be sued. she then waited until the morning of closing to crunch the numbers and notify me of cash to close an hour before the final walk-through of the property - meanwhile, she had the numbers 3 days earlier. the best part was that when I asked her she said she had just received them, while I had already been informed of when the info went out to her. oh yeah, the lawyer that did show up for my closing decided to begin without us and was literally a machine shoving papers in front of us to sign and initial - but I did get a blue folder so...‍‍

When we think of one word to describe Joe Bollhofer and his firm, it is "trustworthy". From our…read morefirst encounter in 2017 when we researched an elder care attorney to help my brother-in-law, who was very sick and had NO WILL, we contacted Joe. He quickly put all the documents together so we could be the speaker for my brother if he couldn't speak. Then, in 2024, we needed to contact Joe when my brother-in-law was ill again and passed away. We retained him to navigate the complicated paperwork that was necessary to settle my brother's estate. We couldn't have gotten through this without him and his wonderful paralegal, Catherine. So, when it came to finalizing our estate in anticipation of our final days, there was no doubt in our minds that Joe was the one and there should be no doubt in yours. We retained Joe once again; he patiently walked us through the process of setting up a trust. The result was outstanding. We now have a clear and comprehensive path to preserving our estate for our beneficiaries. We would never hesitate to ask him for legal advice in the future.

This is a follow-up review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Teresa Raniere, R/E Attorney, to represent anyone…read morebuying or selling their home!!! I will start off by saying that Teresa Raniere is an AMAZING R/E Attorney! We found her name in a Google search. We spoke with her several times over a weekend and decided to hire her. Teresa guided us through every step of our transaction! She went above and beyond. Teresa said she, "wants to be known as the attorney who does the right thing for her clients" and she has proven that throughout our experience. She has excellent character. She is fair. She is intelligent. She is patient. She listens. She answers questions and/or searches for answers to questions. She is professional. She is honest. She is very personable, caring and dependable. She protects her clients. She is diligent. She pays attention to detail. She is proactive in addressing issues or possible problems that may come up in the transaction. Teresa is very knowledgeable in her field. She is very thorough and double checks with state requirements and internet searches. She sends you supporting documents for your information and learning. She sends you preparation lists and timelines so there are no surprises. I have learned that with any contract, you should read it carefully because you are the one in the end signing it, not the person who wrote it whether it be a R/E agent, home inspector, repair person or lawyer. After Teresa created our contract, she was open to any clarifications or changes that I thought might be needed. We spent time going back-and-forth revising until we were both satisfied with it. We were both making sure that we were protected in our purchase and she was making sure that it was fair also to the seller. She literally rescued us from making a huge mistake. We were almost stuck buying a home that would have been a money pit... It is well worth your time reading about our experience. We were looking to purchase a manufactured mobile home in Glenwood Village, Riverhead. The R/E agent was putting pressure on us for the fact that the community was going to be bought out by Hometown America soon and she said that "the HOA fees most likely would increase by about $300 per month". The R/E agent told us we did not need an inspection nor an attorney for the purchase. She said, "it was like buying a car". She created a contract that required a $20,000 deposit and only protected the sellers. The contract was signed by us then the sellers and then sent back to us to fill in the date to be "Fully executed." Over the weekend we realized that we needed a R/E attorney. We found Teresa Raniere's name in a Google search and gave her a call. She spent hours on Saturday and Sunday of that weekend communicating with us and guiding us on how to handle our predicament. She recommended not sending the contract back with the date filled in and to cancel the deposit check ASAP. Thank goodness the R/E agent had not deposited it yet. Teresa spent hours creating an appropriate contract that not only protected us in the purchase but was fair and protected the sellers. She created it with 3 specific contingencies. 1. Hometown America would accept the HOA fees of the current owner since we weren't going to close before they bought the community. 2. The deposit would be fully refunded if the home inspection was not satisfactory and there were no repairs needed greater than $500. 3. The deposit would be fully refunded if we were not able to obtain homeowner's insurance. (Which we found out was quite difficult to obtain for a manufactured home and would have denied us in the end.) As it turned out Hometown America was agreeable with accepting the HOA fees. Thank goodness we had a home inspection. The inspector found that the unit needed at least $20,000 worth of repairs. In summary, the inspector reported the following: The unit needed a new roof. The hot water heater was not 1-year-old as they said and was not vented correctly. Sewage was leaking under the unit. One of the windows had a leak around it. The new dishwasher was not hooked up properly and was leaking under the sink. The list went on and on... Because of the condition of the roof the Inspector reported that the homeowner's insurance companies most likely would deny us coverage. The only homeowner's insurance company, Assurant, that would cover Manufactured Homes did deny us. Because of the contract with the contingencies that Teresa created and her constant guidance we were able to get our $20,000 deposit refunded. We are looking for another home for my sister. Teresa has already sent me information with possibilities and options for housing. We will certainly be hiring her again. I recommended her to all of my family and friends. As I said above, I highly recommend Teresa Raniere, R/E Attorney, to represent anyone buying or selling their home!!!

I received a speeding ticket on the Long Island expressway (97mph on a 55mph zone) this was my…read moreFIRST ever moving violation but one that would suspend my license as it was 40mph over the limit. I called about 6 lawyers and as soon as I mentioned my speed and the dreaded "suffolk county court" they ALL would tell me the same thing, "toughest county in the state of NY your license will be suspended no ands if or buts, the best thing I can do for you is reduce your suspension from a potential 6 months to 3 months maybe 2 if you plead guilty and we don't go to trial" I had lost all hope as I kept hearing the same thing from all these other lawyers, basically pay them to plead guilty (I thought to myself for that I just save my money and plead guilty on my own) but then I came across Brian Trodden he told me it was going to be tough to get the points reduce, let alone bring it down to zero (which is what I was hoping) but that he will try his very best....FINALLY a lawyer who gave me a glimmer of hope. At my suspension hearing he was able to get my full suspension down to a restricted license, that alone for me was a BIG WIN specially in suffolk county court. Fast forward 3 months to my court hearing (today) and the Police officer who gave me the ticket made his appearance in court (I saw our chances of winning dwindle in front of my eyes) the officer gave his testimony, Brian proceeded to cross check the officer. Long story short....Brian was able to find a discrepancy that left BOTH the officer and prosecutor in AWE!! The judge DISMISSED MY CASE! Not only was my Driver License suspension lifted with ZERO POINTS but Brian also saved me from hundreds if not thousands of dollars in court fees & fines. As the Judge got up from her chair she looked at me and said to me "You got yourself a great attorney" Yes indeed. Brian I could never thank you enough, I hope I would never have to call you for another traffic violation but I will be referring you to everyone I know! You're the ABSOLUTE BEST! Thank you so much!
