Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10 I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman read more

From the initial phone call to the end of their services, Maya and her team were so compassionate with my situation and valued me as a client. I could not be happier with the end results and it was all because of her hard work and dedication.

Maya reviewed all details with me beforehand, and I never felt like I got lost in a huge law firm waiting on hold to speak with someone. Maya and team are true professionals and if you are looking for someone who will fight for you wholeheartedly, keep timely communication, and get results, I recommend Risman law. read more

I used Morgan and Morgan for my Disability claim . They came through for me. Will definitely use them again.

An amazing law firm that I will be using again if necessary (though hopefully.. no need). Nobody likes to go through employment uncertainty or trouble, but if you do you know this is a dependable firm. The firm is run by two siblings and I mostly spoke with Jeff regarding my problem, he's highly intelligent, warm, resourceful, and responsive. Through speaking with Jeff I was able to negotiate exactly what I wanted with my employer. read more

Additionally, I felt Maya was very authentic in her approach as an attorney. I never felt she was in it for any other reason than to help me get a great outcome. I highly recommend. read more

So, it's never fun to need an attorney. When I was laid off, I wanted to consult with someone experienced as this was new territory for me (blessing and curse, right?). Jeffrey treated me as a person from day one. His communications were clear and timely. He worked with my former company's legal counsel to come to a more fair agreement. While I hope to never need an attorney again, in reality stuff happens. If needed, I would contact Risman & Risman again and recommend working with them. read more

I met with Mr. Risman to discuss a contractual matter that had concerned me for some time and within half an hour he concisely delineated the issue and provided a clear opinion which was invaluable to me. I have spoken to many attorneys in the past on unrelated matters who were unwilling to take a position so early in the discussion for whatever reason, but that was not the case here. I will be returning to speak with Mr. Risman in the future when I require further advice or additional action on this or any other legal matter. I highly recommend his services. read more

I was going through a difficult period in life and had spoken to a few lawyers. Many were not even willing to hear my case. I contacted Risman and Risman hearing about them from a friend and could not be happier. Mr. Risman's hands on approach and dedication to listening and understanding me as a client in our initial session was unparalleled. Jeffrey took my case and delivered the results I was looking for. Without his services I'm sure that I would not have had my needs met. Not only was Jeffrey committed and passionate about helping me but he was personable, respectful and educated me every step of the way. I often even heard from him with updates outside of normal business hours and gained not only a lawyer but a friend and advocate. read more

One of the first experiences when engaging a Law firms services in New York is a feeling of somehow being 'that you're not quite important enough' or 'somehow a nuisance' this is not one of those places. Light, clean and spacious offices met with friendly kind, concerned professionals ,right from the beginning you feel completely at ease, listened to, heard and understood. Maya was attentive demonstrated a great deal of empathy and seemed genuine and intent on using her quite substantial knowledge of the Law to address my particular case. Resolving my issues and needs and then using her vast knowledge, understanding and sheer resolve Risman & Risman brought my case to a satisfactory completion to what seemed to me, within a very swift time indeed.
