I reached out to this firm refered to me by a friend for my case. I first called on 09/08/2025 and I was forwarded to lawyer. We talked for 30' asking different questions about my case and she told me that she was going to email me with a questionaire to fill out and send back. I was looking my emails every day. She never got back to me. On 09/12/2025 I've called them back to ask if they had my email address written wrong. The receptionist followed the same routine as I was contacting them for the first time. She forwarded me to the same laywer and she started asking me the same exactly questions. When I told her if they are interested in my case, she replied we don't do cases like yours and we can refer you to another laywer, although they had originally told me that they were interested. She continued asking the same exactly questions we've been already through. So, I finally told her to stop wasting my time and I will find another laywer that will be interested in me and not only to the size of the case. I've found it totally unprofessional. My general experience from them was that they were not listening to what I had to say. ANd when I was talking they were only thinking of what to reply to me. read more

My experience with Schwartzapfel lawyers was exceptional! I truly recommend them to any and all looking for amazing lawyers. The service from all the people I encountered throughout this experience (whether remotely or in person) was kind, compassionate, helpful, professional, understanding, and available. Jana and Christina walked me through every step; was so incredibly patient and helpful when I was lost and didn't know what to do. They were all so HELPFUL and anyone would enjoy and find a sense of peace by having them handle your case. My case was settled in three months. Jamil read more

The best law firm in new york because they have the best lawyers Ben Rabinowitz is extremely smart ,competent and a really nice guy.

Our family is so grateful and blessed to have Michael Reiner represent our loved one, Tony, on a personal injury case. Our Tony (a father of a teenager, a brother to two siblings, a son and a friend to many) was a victim of a hit-and-run drunk driver which resulted in him being Stonybrook ICU with a TBI for 411 days before he died. Mike supported us at the hospital, often visiting. While we were also dealing with the criminal case, Mike being a former assistant DA, kept us briefed and assisted in explaining the judicial system which we were unfamiliar with. He is unbelievably helpful and reliable. We could call him anytime, day or night and he would always get back to us. He went after the bar that over served the driver & fought very hard for Tony. It was the saddest most stressful time in our lives and we could have never gotten through the last four years without Mike's assistance. Mike is the attorney that you need. - Mary Spero & The Loiodici Family read more

I didn't see the hole...because it should not have been there. Each morning going to work required me to walk along a subway platform, and enter a train. On a clear, sunny May morning I was attempting to do just that. I did not see the hole in the platform and rolled my ankle, breaking it in 2 locations. Broken ankle ..cant work. The first 1 Lawyer I called wasn't interested in the case, which was hurtful. My 2nd call was to Schwartzapfel Lawyers, and I was lucky enough to have David Sloan enter my life. From the first meeting I felt that I was in the hands of a caring, knowledgeable attorney. David explained the process to me with complete honesty about the length, and potential outcome. What he didn't do is fill my head with unrealistic expectations, which I greatly appreciated. I was introduced to his paralegal/manager Sabrina Hernandez who assured me any issues I had would be promptly addressed. David's secretary Nandie Narain was quick with return calls while the lawsuit progressed. Visiting the office was a pleasure as I was always greeted with a smile, and concern by Patty. Calls to David were always returned, even during Covid when working from home was required. My suit was settled and I received more than I thought I would get from a cash strapped City agency. I owe that to David Sloan. Thank You David, Sabrina, Nandie, and fellow" Pequan"..Patty. read more

The moment my husband and I realized he needed a lawyer, we went online and researched for the best attorney we could find. After reading many reviews on different sights, we decided to call Schwartzapfel Lawyers, PC. W called and requested an appointment for that day, and they said, "Come in two hours". We did. We met with Sachin Gadlh and Carlene Smith. We told them our problem, they asked us questions, and they agreed to represent us. Throughout the whole process, they were there for us. We received realistic answers to all of our questions; we knew exactly what to expect. Even when we did not have reason to call them, they called us just to keep us updated. Their motto is to "Fight for Us" and we believe that is exactly what they did. They put us first, above anything else, and we felt comfortable with them. It is one of the smartest decisions we have ever made. We cannot give enough praise to this wonderful law firm. We would totally, without a doubt, recommend them to anyone in need of a lawyer. Thank you, Schwartzapfel Lawyers, PC! read more

After 35 years as a loyal hardworking union member I was injured on the job. My employer and union both turned their backs on me. I found Schwartzapfel Lawyers and they were amazing. Sachin Gadh and his staff guided me and stood by me every step of the way through my personal injury case. They fought for me when no one else would. I would highly recommend Schwartzapfel. They can be trusted and they get the job done. read more

I highly recommend Schwartzapfel Lawyers for personal injury if you are in the New York City area. You can trust these attorneys because they have your best interests at heart. They go the extra mile like checking in with you to make sure you're doing okay and to give you updates with your case. If you've been injured on the job, a construction accident, or even in a car accident this the firm you want to reach out to and work with. read more

I'm a current client I got to say on how amazing this group of people they are they are truly amazing they will help you give you the best advice or if your sad about your case they Listen to you they make me happy they will make you very happy read more

I used Schwartzapfel Lawyers for a worker compensation case. I had broken my foot while on the job and struggled for three months for the insurance company to pay my salary and approve the surgery. As soon as I hired the lawyers, they placed a call and I was able to get my surgery. Later I required a second surgery and I was able to be approved right away. It took a year before I decided to settle my case and my lawyers never pushed me to speed things up. When I was ready I received my settlement quickly and was able to move on with my life. A friend of mine has a personal injury case recently as he tells me nightmare stories about his law firm. I wish he would have asked for a recommendation as I believe he would have different result with Swartzapfel Lawyers. I highly recommend them. read more

Schwartzapfel Lawyers is by far the best in New York! Specifically Robert Selg Jr and my paralegal Tiffany D Nixon! From the moment I needed their help they were there for me. My experience with the both of them was nothing less then excellent. They were caring, ethical, innovative and brilliant and always did what was best for me ! I have never needed lawyers before in this capacity so the whole process was new to me. They made sure when I had questions, the responses were answered thorough and thoughtfully. Overall I am very happy with the outcome of the case and their determinism. If I ever need lawyers again I will not hesitate to call them. My family will always deal only with Schwartzapfel! My mother also is a client of theirs and her experience is nothing less than perfect also! If you need loving caring attorneys that will always do what is best for you, then you need Schwartzapfel read more

Not impressed. Firm has business agreements with doctors/experts. They are also known to bribe positive reviews/ratings with gifts. Sounds ethical. read more

Never calls back. Moving on to another firm. All promise and no action. Ridiculous. Never have I wasted such time.

This is a law firm whose philosophy has always been putting the needs of the client before all else. Schwartzapfle Lawyers is a team of professionals with many years of experience. Together they work as a team in the clients best interest. I have been extremely satisfied with their handling of my case and would n't hesitate to refer them to my friends or family. read more

The worst ever. W. A. was my lawyer. He has no communication skills, no technical skills, and the whole experience was beyond bad. If I could give NO STARS that I would give this firm. They take you at your most vulnerable, give you a baby lawyer and then do not deliver the goods.. W.A. was beyond bad. I have had lawyers with whom I felt sympatico. This guy was a baby. So declasse. So condescending. So inexperienced. If there was any way to deter people from using this lawyer and this firm, I would take every step necessary to be sure that they never let this guy practice again. I can only say that if anyone is reading this DO NOT USE SCHWARTZAPFEL. i can't begin to describe my disgust, displeasure and every other negative adjective about the lawyer that took my case. My case went nowhere. I have been disqualified by SSA because of this law firm. W.A. should be ashamed about his lack of performance and his attitude, laziness, lack of knowledge about SSA and his absolute disusting ego. Everyopne chooses his or her battles. i understand this. When you have your life riding on the line, however, and you have a child in the picture (adopted child!), and you are being evicted... you expect top rate service, care, and no B.S. I got nothing but crap from this place, to be blunt. The legal assistant to W.A. told me that basically i was a hopeless case to begin with, because if I had a case that was worthy, then I would not have had a disapproved application in the first place. Without going into all the legal details, I hope that anyone who reads this will take away one msg: do not ever call this ambulance chasing, low class, mess of a law firm. read more

Though the firm came highly recommended from a friend , the service we received from Schwartzapfel Lawyers far exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The settlement they were able to secure my family was greatly appreciated and was the only shining light in an otherwise unfortunate situation. We've even recommended the firm to a friend going through a horrible situation/injury and they are experiencing the very same level of personal dedication we've come to know for the duration of our now settled case. This is one of the easiest recommendations I've ever made. read more

The legal process can be long, complex and stressful. That's why I recommend Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. to my friends and family. Their staff is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and will be with you every step of the way. read more

When you Google somebody and they totally turn your life around- I can't believe these lawyers they were the best lawyers I've ever dealt with -in my entire life I just want to thank ROB and the rest of the staff for taking care of my fiancé -he was hit by a bus on a motorcycle and their prompt attention for 90 days straight -relieved our stress -and they got us all of our money back I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer in the world -thank you so much for all your prompt attention to every single email and every single phone call that we made you guys are truly the best and we love you. read more

I was very happy using Schwartzapfel Lawyers. They took great care of me in regards to my case. A special thanks to Robert Selg who was courteous, friendly, and genuenely concerned on my behalf. I was in direct contact with Mr. Selg and he constantly reached out to me for updates, and always ready for my questions and any concerns I had during my case. Thanks again Robert and the Schwartzapfel team! ~ Nick C. read more

They are the most lazy, lying, none communicative lawyers I ever seen! I advise you, to seek another firm! For your own sake, you'll thank me for it. read more

Schwartzapfel Lawyers has helped me in so many ways. These kind people fight for our justice for people who go through a traumatic experience. When I had the car accident, my ligaments in my knee were torn. I was very distraught and didn't know what to do, then my family was told to go to them. It was the best decision we ever made. They have been so nice, generous, and patient throughout the entire case. They kept in touch with me when anything popped up and always checked in with my family and I on their free time. I would like to say thank you for everything they have done for me especially Robert Selg who has been very sweet, understanding, and great at making me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience I had went through. If you want lawyers to fight for you, I suggest going to these kind people! read more

Car accidents are stressful. This Lawfirm ( I have used twice). In both cases their lawyers and paralegals have keep me well informed of the progress of my lawsuit. Provided me with answers to all my questions. They went above and beyond in not only negotiating the best outcome for my lawsuits, but also was concerned on my well being during the entire process. Their was a constant open dialog of communication between me and my lawyer/paralegal during the entire process. Schwartzapfel Lawyers is conphrehensive, communicative and simply the best lawfirm for all your needs. I highly recommend them. And I greatly appreciate all their help during my stressful situations. read more

When in need of legal services what you need the most is a firm that guides you thru the process while making navigating the legal system less complicated. That's exactly what I got while dealing with Katy Vasquez at the Schwartzapfel lawyers. She was always super accessible thru phone and/or email, also very professional and helpful. Big or small she answered all my questions with no reservations and in a very compassionate manner. Mrs. Vasquez provided me with outstanding legal guidance. I am very happy and please that I chose Schwartzapfel lawyers to represent us. read more

Don't believe thier whole "fighting for you" line!! A few words that I would use to describe Schwartzapfel partners. Unprofessional, amateur & rude. The constant turn over in staff makes it nearly impossible to know who you'll be dealing with every time you get on the phone. Any success I've had with them has been short lived. When I tried reaching out to schwartaphel himself to voice my concerns and complaints I received no response. That to me shows what kind of person he is and how he runs his business. Shame on him. Stay away. read more
