I know what you're thinking. This place has 5 stars and no negative reviews. That's exactly what I…read morethought when I first started looking for a competent lawyer a couple years ago. Sammy wasn't the first lawyer I spoke to. Before her, I had contacted multiple lawyers but felt like they saw an easy case and an easy way to make money. I eventually took a chance with Sammy Kim and her team, and it has been a perfect journey ever since. What sets Sammy apart is her genuine care for clients and her honest, straightforward approach. While other lawyers tried to intimidate me with worst-case scenarios and demanded large upfront fees, Sammy took the time to understand my situation and provide reliable, truthful guidance. Her empathy and dedication to solving problems rather than just collecting fees made all the difference. It's not an exaggeration to say she saved my life during what felt like an overwhelming situation. The breadth of her expertise is remarkable. She helped me navigate complex international FBARs (which were late), handled paperwork for selling my apartment abroad, managed my inheritance and the 3520a inheritance form (also late), tackled NYC UBT self-employment taxes when I was completely overwhelmed, and even assisted with cryptocurrency and stock accounting. At this point, I don't think there's anything she can't do. I also want to give a special shout-out to Karen and Chloe on her team, and anyone else who was working behind the scenes. They're equally professional and empathetic, always treating my situation with care and understanding. It's clear that Sammy has built a team that shares her values. Beyond her professional skills, Sammy treats you like a person, not a case number. She sends Christmas cards and remembers the little details about your life. These thoughtful touches remind you that you're working with someone who genuinely cares. As someone navigating the U.S. tax system from an international background, finding Sammy felt like finding a lifeline - but her care and expertise would benefit anyone, regardless of their situation. I normally don't write reviews, but exceptional service like this deserves to be recognized so others can find the help they need. If you're looking for a lawyer who will treat you like a person rather than a paycheck, I cannot recommend Sammy highly enough.

I had an excellent experience working with Attorney Sammy Kim…read more From our first consultation, Ms.Kim and her team were clear, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about resolving IRS tax matters. They took the time to explain the process and handled all communications and documentation with the IRS, which made a complicated situation much easier to manage. Ms.Kim successfully negotiated an IRS Offer in Compromise that was accepted at a small fraction of the original balance. Once the agreed payments were completed, the remaining tax liability was fully resolved! What stood out most was the professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Sammy and her team were responsive, thorough, and treated my family with respect every step of the way. If you need experienced representation for serious tax issues, I would confidently recommend Attorney Sammy Kim.

I contacted Dhali Law seeking legal representation for my Title VII retaliation case in federal…read morecourt (EDVA) after my attorney withdrew from the case. Instead of a meaningful review of my case or even a brief discussion, I received a generic rejection with no explanation. When I followed up and provided a detailed written summary of my situation, Mr. Dhali claimed to have read the document but still refused to consider my case--again without giving any substantive reason. Furthermore, I believe Mr. Dhali rejected my case out of spite due to the EEOC determination letter stating that I was discriminated against by my former employer's clients because I was not Indian. Given that Mr. Dhali has Indian ancestry, it is highly suspect that he would refuse to even discuss my case, especially when his firm specializes in employment law. This raises serious ethical concerns about whether his decision was based on bias rather than legal merit. This is not the kind of professionalism or client respect one would expect from a law firm. If an attorney decides to reject a case, they should be transparent about why rather than dismiss potential clients with vague, copy-paste responses. I do NOT recommend this firm for serious employment litigation matters. If you need dedicated legal representation, look elsewhere.

He believed very much in my case and the facts I presented to him. Eric was always there to discuss anything needed even late at night.

Eric proceeded with my case and got the ball rolling. After a short time Eric informed me that he wouldn't be able to continue with case due to him being a smaller firm. Was I bummed yes. However Eric did me one better. He set out on his own time to find someone that could continue my case going forward and boy did he deliver. He not only delivered me a new attorney he also spent his own time working with them to get them up to speed. I cannot thank him enough for his time preparing my case, doing the initial work and then getting me another attorney to continue it. The outcome was a complete victory for me. Thank you Eric and Lexero Law for devoting so much time to me and treating me with kindness and honesty. You are just as much of a winner in this case as I am.

I retained Mr. Valente for a complicated medical malpractice case involving the permanent blinding…read moreof my left eye and lifelong issues with recurring symptoms that threaten the need to have the eye removed. The malpractice involved was clear, easily identified, and devastatingly damaging to me. I received a vastly insufficient settlement dollar amount. I received a settlement despite Mr. Valente's negative input; without his input, which resulted in underestimated damages communicated during arbitration of my case, I almost surely would have been awarded a higher and more commensurate-with-damages level of compensation based on the facts. Some of the issues I faced while retaining Mr. Valente follow: Mr. Valente utterly failed to accurately assess my economic and non-economic damages . The arbitration process was extremely premature: my damages were not fully established by any means or standard; It was his responsibility to understandnd and effectively convey the extent of damages to me and to the defendent's counsel as well as to a jury at trial. There is no evidence of preparation of my case for trial, as he was contracted to facilitate. Instead, he negotiated a small-in-proportion to my damages settlement. The facts suggest that Mr. Valente lacked the necessary resources as an attorney in the process of establishing a new practice, to represent me successfully or effectively. For example lack of knowledge of my case' details, failure to obtain appropriate expert witnesses in preparation of trial, and an overall failure to retain the facts of my case as presented to him by me in our few meetings and many email communications. Mr. Valente did not attend my deposition during which I gave testimony about my experiences with medical malpractice and it's impact on my life. He also failed to obtain a copy of the deposition's transcript. Since my testimony contained in that transcript formed the basis for my case, Mr. Valente was unable to plan an appropriate case strategy. Mr. Valente retained hundreds of dollars from my settlement in addition to his 40 percent fee for expenses alledged but not factually incurred. One such expense was approximately $800 for the never obtained deposition transcript. Many times, Mr. Valente did not reply to requests for information or respond to information that I provided He failed to inform me of over thirty legal motions pertaining to my case over a 14-month period. I self-discovered these motions and documents which formed an outline of how my case was proceeding in the discovery process online months after the fact. As a result of Mr. Valente's failure to keep me informed about my case, the defense attorney was permitted to interrogate any and all healthcare providers that I was currently visiting or had seen for health concerns in the past for any kind of treatment without my knowledge or participation, a clear violation of HIPAA security laws. Mr. Valente or someone in his employ forged my signature on numerous letters sent to the defendent's attorneys permitting the privacy-violating process to take place. Specifically, the letters stated that I had "no intention" of quashing defense' motion to interview my doctors. Thus, the motion was granted. In fact, I had no idea that defense counsel would be permitted to invade my health care related privacy in such a broadly delineated manner. This practice has been prevented as a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) patient privacy law by many U.S. courts. Mr. Valente, was legally required to inform and offer me my right to file a motion to quash the procedure in order to start the process of a legal determination for its necessity by the court system. When I questioned him about it, he indicated that it was insignificant. Perhaps it was not significant to Mr. Valente, however it was my protected Healthcare information at issue. I would say that precludes Mr. Valente from making a moral judgment about its significance. The current law "says" it is not his legal right to do so without consulting with me. Valente became evasively (and ineffectually) defensive in his written communications to me after I learned of the seriousness of his failures. Mr. Valente was deceitful, non-responsive and ultimately refused to respond to my direct questions concerning issues that I had after the settlement, as new facts emerged about his shortcomings in representing me in the case. I would under no circumstance recommend Mr. Valente to anyone. I have filed formed complaints against him with two separate legal bars. Ultimately, working with him was a damaging, galling and self-defeating experience.

I reached out, originally, because I'd learned I was negligent on an action due to an inheritance I got several year prior. He was patient and informative. I thought I was stuck with no options, but Jay was able to explain the handful of options I that were actually available to me. With the knowledge he provided I was able to make the best choice, and suffered zero repercussions form being late on the inheritance actions. We used other tax preparation services several times and felt somewhat confident all was well, until one year it wasn't. Though the establishment "made it up to us" we were happy to find Jay who explains things in such a way we feel comfortable with filing taxes each year. The attention to our individual issues has been welcoming. Each year he knows what happened previously and tailors his support. We've used him for planning ventures and large investments. He explains all the possible ramifications so that we go into new endeavors with eyes wide open.

As the other reviewer mentioned, I believe if you are willing to let Jay do it all, he is actually probably proficient, but any curves and retribution can occur. We were stunned by his response to us but where THANKFUL he did his retribution PRIOR to any work with him. We moved on but I felt it was necessary to leave a comment for others to be aware. I will say this with Jay, treat your clients properly, or face reviews like this... it is simple. Be respectful to those who ask questions - there is nothing wrong with questions as the saying goes "there is no stupid question".

What felt like an overwhelming and stressful situation was handled with professionalism, confidence, and genuine care from start to finish. Donniece took the time to clearly explain the entire process, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel judged about something that happened decades ago. Her knowledge of the law and experience with older cases like this truly showed. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the warrant was successfully recalled, and a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Beyond being an exceptional attorney, Donniece showed compassion and understanding during a very stressful time for our family.
