He completely ignored all the information we provided him and his arrogant behavior was offensive; no response to status inquiries, did not follow direction, and functioned within his own little bubble world as if what he did had no consequences on his clients' lives. Stay far away from this useless attorney.

While we (my husband and i) hope we never have to use their services again (we've used their…read moreservices twice, on two separate legal issues), i would not trust any legal issue i/we had to anyone else but Ed Koplowitz. Hands down the best lawyer i've ever known and sharp as a tack. He came highly recommended by another lawyer and he did a phenomenal job of sorting things out on both occasions. It sincerely IS peace of mind knowing that he has our back. Yes, of course it's not cheap - lawyer's don't come cheap, good lawyers don't come anywhere close to cheap. But hands down worth every single penny we've ever paid. Not one dime is regretted. And as much as i love our lawyer - i really hope to never need him again. But if we do, we know we have the best there is. And as far as the office is concerned, i've not had the experience the previous poster had. They were promptly responsive (and yes, expensive, anything that takes them time, is going to cost something) every single time. Very professional service all the way around. No regrets with this one!

From the very beginning he listened carefully, asked pertinent questions, and answered in terms we could understand. He provided many options and encouraged us to make the choice that was right for us. He is honest, straightforward, passionate about his work and really cares about people. If you are concerned about your house or have other legal questions, I highly advise talking to Mr. O'Neil. He and his firm are a blessing and very reasonably priced. I thank the stars above that he took the time to help us. Because of his guidance, we now have fewer worries and brighter days ahead of us. Christine Konkol

I absolutely hate that I have to give a low-star review for James/Jay O'Neill. I have used him…read moretwice over the last 3 years, and was attempting to use him a 3rd time, but have given up. Positives: really nice and relatable; explains things so well and so thoroughly. I have absolute confidence that the job is done very well, WHEN it is done. He has drawn up and completed the trust documents for both me (with my husband) and for my mother. The negative is something that has happened with Mr. O'Neill more than once now. (And I see is a similar experience to another reviewer.) James is, sometimes, simply impossible to get ahold of. This time around, I have been trying to reach out to him to follow up on some trust documents for my mother for FOUR PLUS MONTHS. I am not joking. I have left numerous phone and e-mail messages over the past 2-3 weeks, with absolutely zero response. Nothing. I have no idea what the issue is. Does he not want to assist with these documents? If that's the case, have the decency to let us know and find someone else who can do it. It's really amazing, the lack of responsiveness. Again, this has happened before (about a year or so ago) where it took months of repeated phone calls and voicemails to get any sort of response from James. I don't get it. At all. As I said, I otherwise like James and what he produces in terms of our trusts, but ignoring clients? For weeks and months? It's inexcusable and unfortunate.

For several years, I have gone through my share of divorce lawyers who took a lot of money but failed to deliver their promise. Many will make big promises but all they care for is money! However, Wald group is not your typical family law firm! They came on board to help me when I almost gave up. Since retaining them, I have finally been able to sleep at nights. They are extremely knowledgeable and detailed oriented. They LISTEN!! They read and they discuss.They stepped in my case during a very critical stage and worked incredibly hard to understand my messy divorce and fought hard for my rights esp for my child, my support and Appeals. I was fortunate that their hard work paid off! I won critical issues in my case despite the mess my previous lawyers made. Anne Mania surprised me with her calm and soft nature during office meetings and then in court, she left the judge and the other side speechless with her strong advocacy and knowledge of law. She is determined to get results and she does it with elegance. Lauren Wilner's focus on details and her excellent writing skills ensured that nothing was ever missed in my court filings. She studied my long divorce matter and made sure my ex husband did not take advantage of me! She calls and talks through each step. I admired that no matter how tough my questions were, she handled it with professionalism and showed genuine empathy. Deborah Wald is a very experienced, kind, exceptionally intelligent attorney. She has been instrumental with many controversial issues in my case and despite tight deadlines, she worked hard to fight my appeal and divorce. I have tremendous respect for her! As for fees, this firm is transparent and work with you if there are concerns. They are happy to use any help from you or your contacts to reduce fees. They don't exaggerate results. Unlike other lawyers, they don't dump you in the middle of your issues or threaten to leave you or give u unrealistic time to furnish fees.

BUT if anyone is doing some background work, here you go: I was departing my last firm after 25 years. It's tricky unraveling business and friendship ties. And in this circumstance there was a lot at stake financially as well. I needed a specialist. I turned to a long time grind who is the MP for a international firm with a large presence in the Bay Area. He couldn't represent me but he turned me into Erik Kastner. "Mike, this is the guy I hate on the other side of my cases. But he's very good and I can trust him. ". One call later amd Erik was in the team. Kastner Kim was well organized and the transition between Erik and his staff and partners was smooth. We spent a few months together through some emotional items. Erik kept my interests first at all times and fought for me. Result: An exit agreement which ended up protected me too vs. just the company. They don't work for free, but when it's worth it - highly recommended when you're in a (legal) fight.
