I really hate to give one star on Yelp but I think it's fair here to give one star. I wanted to…read morehire the attorney to work on my NJ based divorce case. The attorney said he was able to work on it even without the NJ bar. I was like okay since my case was very straight forward. After a month since we started the case, I haven't heard any progress and my ex was rushing me everyday. I decided to send Leon an email. After a few weeks past, I didn't hear back from him and then I called the office. The receptionist, who picked up my call, sounded clueless. She asked me to spell my name at least 5 times and I felt that she was very annoyed with my long last name. I asked her to let Leon know to reply my call or email. However, I never got the response. A week later, I decided to switch the attorney and then finally I heard back from Leon. And he added some statements in the drafted settlement document from the opponent attorney, which didn't apply anymore. It costed me almost $1000. I am very disappointed that a almost 5 star attorney on Yelp provided a 1 star service to me. The divorce process was already depressing and this didn't help at all. Please stay away from this place.

I would like to express my strong feelings about Leona Krasner's law services. I filed a relocation…read morecase for my son from New York to Florida in 2022 and it has been a grueling custody battle that has dragged on for two years. This has been unexpected and incredibly challenging. While Leona may not be the type of lawyer who operates like a shark, I did not find her to be aggressive and sharp when it came to getting things done promptly. There were instances where I felt pressured to agree to the proposals of the opposing counsel, and I did not feel adequately defended most of the time. I also want to mention the turnover of assistants that Leona has had. After establishing a professional relationship with them, they would often ask me the same questions repeatedly and request files that had already been sent multiple times. Their record-keeping skills were lacking, and I often found myself doing their job. I have also been asked to create a parenting plan and a description explaining why it is in the best interest of the child to permanently live with me, something that I have not seen implemented in previous relocation cases. Additionally I would also like to mention the constant rescheduling of the pre-trials and court dates, which I found to be highly inconsiderate towards those who had already purchased travel tickets and incurred losses due to the rescheduling. Additionally, the repeated requests for retainers and fees without any clear resolution or progress in the case felt unjust, especially considering my circumstances as a full-time unemployed nursing student fighting for my son. It seemed as though I was being taken advantage of because I was in another state, and my case was treated as just a number. It is disheartening to continue waiting for my son to permanently come back home to me while facing these challenges. Furthermore, I want to highlight the lack of communication and transparency regarding important documents. I often found myself being the last to know about any updates unless I proactively reached out and requested information. This lack of proactive communication left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied with the level of service provided. After a prolonged period of two years, my child is finally returning home permanently. The relocation process, which spanned two years, was a particularly distressing situation. This has caused significant anxiety and stress for both my child and me. I felt that the seriousness of this case was not being adequately acknowledged when it was first filed in a timely manner. I would also like to note the consistent and unpredictable communication regarding the fees associated with the retainer. Leona assured us that the initial cost provided covered multiple cases and alleviated any concerns for the future. However, several months later, the fees were unexpectedly increased for additional expenses.

I'm writing this review because I truly don't want anyone else to go through what I went through…read more Hiring an attorney during a family court crisis is not something people do casually. You're already overwhelmed, scared, and trying to protect your child. You hire counsel because you believe someone is going to fight for you, guide you, and help bring stability to a situation that is already painful. That is not what I experienced with Ms. Krasner and her firm. The opposing party in my case was represented, so I expected strong advocacy and a clear strategy. Ms. Krasner appeared for only one or two court appearances and, in my experience, did nothing meaningful to move my case forward or protect my interests. I was left feeling unheard, unsupported, and completely alone in a process I was paying thousands of dollars for. The billing was shocking. In a matter of months, I was charged more than previous attorneys charged me over the course of years. On top of the legal fees, I was billed for everything--stamps, travel, tolls, and constant add-ons. The amount they charged felt disgusting and exploitative, especially considering how little actual progress or advocacy I received in return. What hurt even more was the lack of professionalism and care in the paperwork. I specifically raised concerns about attorneys reusing templates and charging clients as if documents are being created from scratch. I was assured that wasn't how they operate. Yet I received a contract with someone else's name on it--clearly copied and pasted. I also sent drafts of filings I had already started, and they were returned to me with errors and other people's names still included. When you're dealing with court filings, those "small mistakes" are not small. They can cost you time, money, and credibility in front of a judge. If you're paying thousands of dollars, you should receive accuracy, strategy, urgency, and real advocacy--not recycled paperwork, careless errors, and excessive billing for basic administrative items. This experience left me feeling financially exploited during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. I pray for this attorney and her family, and I genuinely hope she reflects on the harm that these practices cause to people who are already in crisis and just trying to protect their children. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Ms. Krasner or her firm.

After working with Jeffrey Berke, I have a renewal outlook toward New Yorkers. He is that one in a thousand. His genuineness is real. They don't make people like him anymore. He is an amazing, knowledge lawyer, and more importantly, a descent person. The judge knows his work and have the utmost respect for him. I've seen it! Most all my reviews in yelp are only negative. This review is one of few, if it's not the only positive review I've given. I want to share this honest experience because during a vulnerable period in life, when someone is trying to destroy me, a stranger i accidentally found on yelp, went above and beyond what I expected to get the necessary evidence to protect my interest. I only marveled at what just transpired, after realizing how fortuitous it was for me to find Jeffrey Berke.

We were coming up on our wedding and needed it to be finalized. She told me she would call at a certain time on multiple occasions and never called. When I finally managed to get her on the phone, she was knowledgeable and helpful but said "we have time." She forgot my wedding was less than 2 weeks away. Her drafting was sloppy, in the final version she left placeholders and highlights. She even left the last name of an old client in the document and interchangeably used he/her. The Thursday before my wedding, I removed all highlights, added schedules, and PDF'd the document myself.

I decided to update this review because I recently I had occasion to use the services of Mr. Bilkis again. I stand by my previous review. He is very responsive. He listened patiently-- I tend to go on and on. And he helped me immediately resolve a problem related to my elderly mother. I am so grateful.

I am extremely disappointed with the consultation I received from attorney Stephen Bilkis through…read moremy prepaid legal service plan. My plan specifically includes attorney consultations, legal advice, review of up to 10 pages of documents, contracts and letters, attorney-written demand letters on a member's behalf, and other legal services. The plan also requires participating attorneys to respond within 8 hours or by the next business day. Despite that requirement, I had to wait approximately five business days just to obtain an appointment. When the appointment finally occurred, the consultation lasted less than five minutes. Before I could fully explain my situation, Mr. Bilkis repeatedly interrupted me and stated that my only option was to file a lawsuit and that hiring him would cost between $7,000 and $10,000. I explained that I was not seeking representation at that time. I was seeking legal guidance through benefits I already pay for. However, I was told that he could not provide meaningful advice without reviewing documents and that doing so would require an additional payment of approximately $2,500, despite document review being one of the benefits included in my legal plan. Every attempt to ask general questions regarding my options, possible outcomes, or potential legal scenarios was met with interruptions. At one point, Mr. Bilkis stated, "I know what you're trying to do," as though I was attempting to obtain something improperly, when I was simply trying to use the services included in my membership. I was not asking for free legal work. I was attempting to use services that I already pay for. Instead of receiving legal guidance, I felt pressured toward paid representation and was unable to obtain any meaningful advice. The conversation ended before I was even allowed to fully explain my situation. This experience was dismissive, unprofessional, and inconsistent with the purpose of a prepaid legal service referral. Fortunately, my legal plan has since referred me to another attorney who is willing to provide the services and guidance that members are entitled to receive.

Worst dishonest attorney, Ever!…read more ...Financially, Brian took advantage of my case and dragged my divorce for over 6 years despite precisely requesting him that my ex and I didn't want litigation. I provided a wealth of information, and he purposely didn't include our marital properties out of state, bank accounts from my ex, and many more. He took my case because he knew my ex would be the one paying his hefty fees. When I confronted Brian about it, he got so upset and threatened me to leave me with nothing. Which practically, he did. The amount he got for his fees was much greater than the total amount granted to me. I'm almost 60 yrs old, was a wife for 20 years, I'm very sick and disabled, have no home, no money, no health and all documents needed to show how dishonest he was.

Without a doubt, on any given day, I'd wish for anyone to work with Mr.Kors. Just be patient and trust his leadership and guidance. Thank you again, for everything Mr.Kors!

I explained that I've been involved in litigation for a long time and that I've been representing myself in my child support case, but I'm now at the point where I need professional help because I can't continue doing this on my own or pretend to know everything I'm doing. Despite that, he managed to insult and patronize me. When people seek legal counsel, it's because they are looking for professionalism and guidance--not a lecture about how little they know about the law. For anyone already dealing with the stress and financial burden of court proceedings, hiring someone who is insensitive and obnoxious would only make the situation worse. To make matters even more surprising, this was all in the context of requesting a $10,000 retainer, which was truly mind-blowing given the way he conducted himself.
