As we all know this is probably one of the most difficult times in our lives next to a death in the family. The strain of obtaining a mortgage and getting the correct buyer at the same time seems almost impossible but with a lawyer who cares and is sympathetic to my situation really helped alot. Mr. Stein was available 7 days a week to answer my questions and concerns and that was a blessing because I got to sleep at night knowing I was in good hands. I would recommend Mr. Stein to my friends and family.

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!

I had read good things about him online so we decided to try him out. It was a long process as the legal system moves slowly but the case wrapped up in a little over a year. He communicated with my wife after each new development during this time and it just recently wrapped up. He was able to get us a very fair settlement, more than we ever thought possible. He takes a cut from the settlement that is awarded so there was nothing for us to pay before hand in order to retain him. It's never pleasant when you have to deal with something like this with a loved one and I definitely recommend the Maltese law firm for any personal injury matters.

My experience with Dan Gobetz could not have been worse!…read more At the time of sale, he never shared with me the evidence that the sellers had met the contingencies and it was not until after the paperwork was signed at the close that the sellers themselves asked me "do you want this documentation" - which in fact were not sufficient! After some discussion there was an agreement made about what they still needed to do - which Gobetz didn't document, thus ensued many weeks of haggling. This cost me time, money and aggravation. But it was only when I sold the property a couple of years later that I learned how poorly i was served. I'm not a lawyer, but several people who are and were familiar with the situation described it as "amazing" and used words like "incompetent" and "malpractice". Basically, it turns out he let me buy a house without informing me that it did not have a certificate of occupancy and with 2 open building permits! Evidently, its typical for the seller to be responsible for providing this but that standard clause in the contract of sale was omitted and Gobetz did not provide me with the information for me to decide if I was willing to take the premises without the Seller providing same. Consequently, when I sold the property the close was delayed for weeks and I had to spend thousands of dollars to close the permits and get the certificate of occupancy - stuff the former seller would have done if I'd had appropriate legal counsel. Bottom line... I will never use him again and wish you luck if you do!
