He was honest, reasonable, and realistic. He's a real person. He took my case, and it turned out to be much more difficult than he originally thought it would be; but he did not quit on me, and fought for me until he could get the best result possible. Throughout the case, Mario also became a friend. I will recommend Mario to others every chance I get. Working with him has been a pleasure.

I had never been in a situation where I needed to hire a lawyer before, but I knew the law was on…read moremy side and that I was having a serious issue with a former employer. I'd done my own initial research and felt confident I had a case, and a friend in my industry, who had gone through something similar, referred me to Laura. She spoke so highly of Laura and her team that I decided to reach out. From my very first call, I knew I had found the right person. Laura listened intently, asked smart and strategic questions, and quickly framed what the strongest case would look like to recover the funds that were legally owed to me. While the process itself was stressful, I was genuinely shocked by how seamless Laura and her team made everything feel - and how fast they moved. I expected the situation to drag on for months, but they resolved it in a matter of weeks. I hope I'm never in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, but if you're reading this feeling confused, frustrated, or unsure about whether to hire one, call Laura and her team. You will not regret it.

From day one, she walked us through every single step of the process, and her approach was not at all intimidating. She made us feel completely comfortable and confident. When unexpected challenges arose with the other party, Jen was in our corner every step of the way, and we fully appreciated her fierce advocacy. On top of her incredible support, the firm offers incredibly fair pricing--in fact, at one point they honestly recommended a lower rate based on what our actual needs turned out to be! It is so rare to find that level of honesty, transparency, and genuine care in business. We are so grateful for Jen and her team, and we will absolutely be clients for life!

In January of this year, a nuisance lawsuit filed by pro se plaintiffs landed on my door. I was…read morestunned and distraught. I cannot give details, but their claims against me were outrageous. I had also just recently gotten engaged and wanted to be spending my spare time with my fiancé planning my wedding, not fending off a nuisance suit.  I called Peter Lubin and he picked up the phone even though it was after 9 PM on a Friday night. Peter and his partner, Andrew Murphy, handled my case expertly. They caught the plaintiffs in numerous mistakes and adroitly used those mistakes to my advantage. I'm an intelligent person, I love to argue, and I've often been told that I missed my true calling as an attorney, but I can't even begin to say how glad I was that I called DLA and didn't try to handle my case myself. I (like the plaintiffs) would have made so many mistakes had I gone pro se.  Peter and Andrew got the case against me dismissed with prejudice just 2.5 months after I was served, leaving me free to plan my wedding in peace. That's what you call "results."

No, just no. Peter seems to have been a brilliant attorney in his day. I do not recommend him now,…read morehowever. I am in a mediation. I've spent the last month or so reviewing mediation letters that range from 17 to 45 pages or so long. They are not the same document, tweaked. It seems as if each new version is completely different and does not contain any of the careful edits we agreed upon. Last week, I found out why: He is apparently using AI to vomit this stuff out. So I've wasted probably 50 hours of my time editing stuff that gets replaced by the next AI convulsion. Today, he sent me a version containing three video links and he essentially stated that all three showed a document being signed. But that is factually incorrect. One of the three videos has nothing to do with any document. Rather, it discusses a home. I asked him to correct the error. His response: He basically put his fingers in his ears and hummed, and threatened to quit. That was about his fourth such threat. Nobody should ever put up with conduct like this. I should also probably mention that my lawsuit was dismissed for want of prosecution and counterclaim was defaulted against me because of missed court appearances or similar by one of his partners. He was probably a great attorney. That is in the past, as far as I can tell.
