I don't usually leave bad reviews but it this situation - I find it necessary to do so. I went to…read morethis Tilem & Associates because I needed legal representation for myself and my kids. I called first and he charged me for a consultation. I paid and he told me that they would take my case and to go to their office. I went there and met with him and a few others. They assured me that I had a case and they would help. One of the attorneys named David was in charge of my case. However, somewhere during my case, he was no longer there and another attorney took over. No one informed me of this. Then I randomly get a call from an attorney named Robert Schechter. He was extremely rude and condescending and sounded unhappy about having the case handed to him. Long story short, my case went on for over 5 years. He never checked in with me or updated me. I would have to email him to check in about once a year asking why my case is taking so long. He would either not reply or reply and say "nothing I can do." I basically had to check my case online on the court website to see what was going on. I saw that he kept agreeing to adjournments with the other attorneys but never informed me about them. Then after a while when I asked him about them - he said they were discussing a settlement. After I paid them a lot of money because they kept charging me for different things, I received another random invoice for over 5k. When I reached out to him to simply asked why I was being billed again, he replied and told me that if I didn't want to pay he was withdrawing the case. He never answered my question and he just continued to be rude and condescending whenever I would speak to him. When I sent him paperwork that I felt would help my case - he replied and told me not to send him anymore documents. I will leave it right here and say that he lost my case and didn't even care. Him and Peter said they would get back to me to discuss it further and none of them got back to me. Based on the reviews - it seems they are only interested and helpful when it is regarding a gun case. I don't recommend them and the way I was treated for the last five years was horrible. Not once did he ever reach out to me with an update. Lastly, the way I was treated was unprofessional and definitely UNACCEPTABLE!

I choose Greenspan and Greenspan, over other firms because I was informed of their professionalism and willingness to fight for their clients.

If you have any legal issues I would highly recommend the team at Greenspan and Greenspan.

Jerry Spence won almost every case as he attributed it to his absolute resolve to care about his client but it also requires skill and logic. Richard Portale plays the long game and just waits till opportunity comes a knocking. You need to just trust these guys. Kenneth Calvey looks very non-assuming but also plays the end game. I am the guy who everyone knows is supposed have all the answers and I do just have these guys handle your case. It is just as good when they travel outside NY as they are easy on the expenses. I have enjoyed the law and these guys make it fun and ez. They just get results. You can add them to any "Johnny Cochran" dream team or rely on them to create the team including investigation polygraph etc. They know how to circumvent costly litigation by developing your case early on so the opponent realizes the futility of proceeding. I see folks loose cases which I know these guys would have won by structural differences they would implement in the inception. But its never too late to bring in some new blood to a old and lingering case.

I went to Mr. Lovett, explained my situation and a $7,500.00 retainer was requested. I provided…read morehim with all the necessary information which included e-mails, meeting minutes, timelines, etc. and it was agreed that he would file a Equal Pay Act federal lawsuit. He drew up the papers, filed them in White Plains then out of the blue, he called me to tell me he had to pull the lawsuit because important information was missing from the document. Wait!! Why did I hire a lawyer to draw up paperwork and it was incorrect? He was provided with all the necessary documentation prior to the filing and he told me we could never win based on the information in that document and, in addition, my former employer could turn around and sue me. I was baffled. So he pulled the lawsuit and I asked for the remainder of my retainer to be refunded. His secretary provided me with his billing via e-mail and that billing reflected that he owed me approximately $3,500.00. When I went to his office to get my refund, I was told that he forgot to add a few billable items on there and it turned out I owed him somewhere in the area of $500.00. I spoke to him and he said he would waive that $500.00 in additional fees out of the goodness of his heart. Bottom line, I was out $7,500.00 which he gladly took and did a slapshot job. Very disappointed in Mr. Lovett. Wish I had read the reviews prior to making that appointment. Shame on him.

When I finally managed to get him on the phone he said he was tied up for a year on another case. I guess my $7500 wasn't enough to keep him interested in my case. He did nothing and I was treated rudely throughout the process. The biggest mistake I ever made was hiring Jonathan Lovett as my attorney. Find another!!
