Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more 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

Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman. It's hard to find this kind of customer service and compassion when it comes to matters of the law. They listen and really work hard to help your situation. 10/10 experience. I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

I found myself in need of a lawyer to represent me in two legal matters. The first was regarding…read moreSocial Security and the second case dealing with the Public Employees Retirement System, better known as (PERS). Like many people I had no idea where to turn. My professional caregiver strongly suggested that I speak with Erica J. Mandell because several clients had similar experiences with social security and they received favorable results from Ms. Mandell and Her services. I telephoned Her office and left my name and contact information. Ms. Mandell returned my call in less than one hour and arranged a consultation for the very next day. Ms. Mandell instructed me to bring along any paperwork that I received from the Social Security Office to the consultation meeting. After reviewing the paperwork and explaining exactly what was contained in the received paperwork and what responses were required, Ms. Mandell agreed to represent me in my cases. Ms. Mandell explained to me it was important to understand what was happening with the cases and She would walk me through everything. That was a promise She completely kept from start to finish. Erica Mandell explains confidentiality and that she would not speak or correspond with any person, medical professional, or other entity without my express written authorization. As with any government agency the rules and regulations can be extremely complex. The Social Security Administration and (PERS) are no different and no less complicated. As a regular person it can be very overwhelming. It was a great relief to have Ms. Mandell there to translate all those letters and documents into something I could understand. She explained what information they requested and required. And the order in which the returned documents needed to be processed. She explained the the out going paperwork was equally as important as incoming documents if the process was to proceed accurately. Step by step with exceptional detail and determination every I was dotted and every T was crossed. I was a difficult client as I was not very willing to discuss my conditions. Erica J. Mandell was able to listen and empathize with all that I am going through and more importantly was able to put the words to the required papers. That was something which I would never have been able to complete on my own. My Social Security Administration case was concluded. The results were favorable on my behalf. It was great relief to myself and my family. Even though all of the documentation was accepted on time and in order without errors or corrections my PERS case required in person testimony by myself, my family, and by medical professionals by an NJ State Judge. Ms. Mandell contacted all of those people and scheduled and spoke with them on my behalf. I think it is important to mention that having and advocate with you during the legal process is essential. I always felt that Ms. Mandell had my best interests in mind during the cases. When speaking with Her, She always referred to it as "our case". It was very clear she was there for me. Even after regular business hours and weekends. On many occasions I left messages on the office phone after hours and She returned my calls that night or early the next day even on the weekend. On more than one occasion Ms. Mandell came to my home when I was unable to travel to Her office. Erica Mandell came highly recommended, She is very knowledgeable and extremely trustworthy. Also extremely detail orientated. Ms. Mandell is very compassionate but a tough fighter with great communication skills who is driven by advocacy. These are just a few of the many reasons why I can without hesitation and with complete confidence endorse Erica J Mandell for any and all legal matters regarding (PERS) and or the Social Security Administration.

On October 1, I got a call back from law student Savanah who conducted an interview, but was unable to explain the firm's nearly 2 week delay. 3. The next contact from the firm was not till November 18, when lawyer Andres left a voicemail with no apology for the 2-month delay. 4. He subsequently sent me an email stating, "If you wish to proceed with your claim, it is important to act immediately. Failure to do so may bar your claim based upon time limits." All other firms I called allowed me to speak with a lawyer the same day for a consult/decision on whether they'll take the case.
