January of 2025 I found myself in a situation where I needed assistance with a Workers Compensation…read moreclaim. I had tried to fight it by myself but without any success. I was literally ignored by the WC Insurance Company and by my employer, actually it was worse than that. So I decided that it is time to reach out and I emailed Segar & Sciortino. My call was returned by Cristian Cruzado and he was patient and listened to me. While my case is still being sorted out at this time, and it might be a while until we can put it behind me, without Cristian's work, advice and guidance, I would still be lost and most definitely would have given up which is precisely what my employer, their lawyers and the WC Insurance had in mind from the beginning. I absolutely recommend Segar & Sciortino and especially Cristian Cruzado!!!

Many websites indicated this was a sign they were going to screw me over. Well, they did and I contacted Segar & Sciortino, whom I found on Google Maps as the highest rating. Well, ratings don't mean a thing. The person I spoke with indicated that the people who said I should retain a lawyer don't have their law degree and that I shouldn't believe everything I read on the internet. I was basically told that if the carrier stops paying me, then call them back. Well, I did get suspended and I did NOT call this place back.

I won't get into the details of my civil case or the specifics of the fees, but I will say this office handled a case for me that I could not be more grateful for.

What they did was give me peace of mind at a time when I needed it most, and handled my case brilliantly with a very reasonable flat fee.

But once work was delegated to others, it declined fast--poor follow-through, repeated delays, and fees added without clear explanation. Despite using the firm for business purchases, I often felt unprotected. Communication became a serious issue. I was even referred to a litigating attorney who lacked basic communication skills and didn't act in my best interest. When I raised concerns, my message was simply forwarded to that attorney with no effort to resolve the issue. It felt like they were protecting themselves--not representing me. The final straw was finding out I'd been dropped as a client without any notice. They were holding an escrow check and only returned it with my files after multiple emails and calls. No explanation--just silence until I pressed for answers. Yes, I stood up for myself and expected accountability. That may not have been convenient for them. But at these rates, professionalism should be non-negotiable. I'm relieved to move on and find a firm that values transparency and client care.

I can't say enough about her professionalism and what a pleasure it is to work with her. She is always available when I need to discuss anything with her and has helped me considerably to make the right decisions as well as explaining things so I have a complete understanding before moving forward. I have worked with other firms in the past but I am overwhelmingly impressed with Dawson law firm. I highly recommend them and hope that my review sheds some light on the extra steps that they take to show that they truly care about their clients.

We informed her that time was of the essence..it needed to be done before June 4, 2024. "We have plenty of time" she responded with. On March 22, 2024, she wrote "I'll review and will contact you to discuss any necessary modifications." It is now 5 weeks later, and this woman has gone AWOL. Not a single communication of any sort, nada, zip, zero! When you call her office, you get a recording stating "my preferred method of communication is through email." OK...we obliged. Result from that email 6 days ago as of this writing? Nada, zip, zero! So...now we call her office a SECOND time, but this time we left a voice message (since her "preferred method of communication" has obviously fallen on deaf ears). Result from our voicemail message 3 days ago as of this writing? Nada, zip, zero!! This woman doesn't even have the decency and common courtesy to return messages. Update! Today, FINALLY we received an email which reads: "Sorry, I was on vacation visiting my mom in Florida when you emailed last week. I have a lot going on right now and I know that you're anxious to proceed. I am referring you to......" Uh what? Are you kidding?! We've just lost 5 full weeks! We have NOTHING to show for our trust in this attorney. If you've got unlimited time and patience for a bait and switch attorney with zero communications skills to massage a document as important as a Last Will and Testament...then by all means, this is your attorney!!

October 20, 2015…read more Betsy is by far the best divorce attorney!! I went to several consultations, spent over $1,000, and didn't feel comfortable with any of them. They all made me feel that in NYS it didn't matter who made what financially, or who was in the wrong, you couldn't change the law. Basically, the less time you were married, the less you were entitled to. Divorce is a stressful time for anyone, especially when you are the victim. Most attorneys' treat it strictly as a business contract, forgetting the emotional turmoil you're experiencing. They just want to hear the facts, and paint the realistic picture, which is usually pretty bleak. Betsy Album is the exception. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the person I wanted to represent me. She is extremely professional, and her bedside manner is superb. She took the facts, and came up with a game plan. I was hesitant to ask for much of anything with being told "I wasn't going to get it in NY." Well, turns out I didn't have to, with Mrs. Album. Using her expertise, she developed a proposal with all my best interest in mind. She is continuing to fight for me, and the end is near. Using the old cliché, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and with Betsy Album it's bright.

The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. ** Richard Brister is highly persuasive during the initial consultation. Unfortunately, his impressive phone manner is where the competence at Tully Rinckey ends. What Mr. Brister promised us during our consultation bears absolutely no resemblance to what the firm ultimately delivered. He explicitly assured us that our $4,000 retainer would cover a robust, comprehensive demand letter and active negotiations--even discussing specific enforcement provisions to hold management accountable to critical safety measures. We relied on those professional representations when we signed and paid our retainer. What we received was a weak, inaccurate and completely unusable draft. It was addressed to an individual who no longer worked for the company, contained a false timeline, failed to include our core claims, and completely ignored the evidence we had provided. It was a sloppy, careless rush job that caused our household and my 88 year old mother additional distress. The worst part? When we pointed out these glaring, objective errors, Tully Rinckey did not offer to correct them without further depleting our retainer. They never denied that we would be expected to pay additional legal fees simply to obtain an accurate and usable version of the document we had already retained them to prepare. To anyone considering this firm: Do not be fooled by Mr. Brister's polished sales pitch. Get every verbal promise in writing before you hand over a single dime. We trusted Tully Rinckey with thousands of dollars and a highly sensitive matter, and we were left with zero results, a bigger headache, and a nearly depleted retainer. Shame on Richard Brister, and shame on Tully Rinckey. Stay tuned for more TR reviews.
