    This woman has provided services for my mother-in-law's estate for a number of years. With my…read moremother-in-law passing away from COVID-19 on two years ago. This emotionally disconnected and insensitive woman stated, "I do not owe you people anything," before walking away; bear in mind that my mother had previously provided her with payment! We are the executors of the Will and were merely requesting access to the original copy; to which she responded with hostility. She has displayed unsavoury conduct and inadequately handled the situation. Furthermore, we have heard tales of her erroneously managing other people's cases. All we wanted was for her to have the paperwork ready for us; however, her lack of professionalism has led to the scenario unfolding in an undesirable manner. Unfortunately, the wrong family has been wronged by this woman.

We are the executors of the Will! She is UNETHICAL, unfeeling and just a monster. I simply asked her why she didnt have an original will for our mom. She got defensive immediately not even a minute after sitting down. She messed up everything! I was told that she was awful and screwed up immigration papers for family of friends ...All she had to do was have the papers ready for us. You messed with the wrong family lady!

    I am an attorney who retained Frederick "Rick" Foster, Esq. to represent me in a Suffolk County…read moreSupreme Court divorce case in 2002 (Index No. 01265- 02). His performance was a disaster for me. My ex-wife and I settled in open-court a year later on January 15, 2003, and Mr. Foster recited the terms but amazingly failed to address a necessary element entitling me to that divorce. My ex-wife then met John Ray, Esq. at the courthouse and began co-habiting with him, which continues to this day, and he undertook her representation by filing a motion to vacate the settlement due to Mr. Foster's failure to meet all the statutory requirements in the settlement. Judge Emily Pines misguidedly granted the motion rather than force my ex-wife to file an appeal, so I was remarried by operation of law. The tens of thousands of dollars I paid her in the settlement was considered marital money and not credited in the final outcome, and that drained my cash. I had closed my law practice and building business in 2002, and found myself between a hard place and a rock. Mr. Foster appealed Judge Pines' order with a lightweight brief and we lost. In Tarone v. Tarone, 25 A.D.3d 779 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006), the court said, "Open-court stipulations are judicially favored, and will not be set aside absent fraud, overreaching, mistake, duress, or unconscionability.... However, in the instant case, in view of the determination that the plaintiff failed to establish his entitlement to a divorce, the stipulation of settlement should have been vacated....The stipulation cannot be considered a valid postnuptial or "opting out" agreement pursuant to Domestic Relations Law § 236 (B) (3)." Mr. Foster's lack of attention to detail, possibly due to his then frequently nagging migraine headaches that he really should have disclosed to me before taking my case, changed the course of my life. Due to his mishandling of the stipulation of settlement, my divorce went on for several years, and after Mr. Foster billed me $96,000 for his fees in 2007, I had no choice but to shamefully file personal bankruptcy. With a second divorce process came nine years of dealing with issues, and the last appeal was decided in 2011. By then, I was financially devastated and renting a little house in eastern Connecticut. I am just now, 16 years later in 2023, financially recovering fully from Mr. Foster's error. Let the facts speak for themselves about Mr. Foster and his conduct in my divorce case. Now let the truth be known that choosing Mr. Foster as my divorce lawyer was unequivocally one of the worst decisions of my entire life, the most impacting on my lifestyle, and the most costly to me personally. I should never have trusted him with my rights and my security. If you want to contact me for any reason, please use my website contact form at TaroneEsq.com.

I had a very lengthy & difficult divorce proceeding, which also included the setting aside of my prenuptial agreement. Rick and his team are knowledgeable and professional. They know the court system well & are respected by the court. Rick has an extensive, accomplished law career and chooses his team well. Alex & Eric are savvy, professional and know the law. While neither party will be truly happy at the end and the divorce proceedings cost a lot of money - Rick and his team did their best to accomplish what I needed and will do their best to keep you as calm as possible through the process. I made the right choice with Rick.

    Legal Eagle, Devoted Dad: 5.0 stars…read morePosted by Kati-Ann April 17, 2025 6 Stars for Lance Simon's Unmatched Excellence!! "I'm overwhelmed with gratitude as I write this review for Lance Simon, an extraordinary lawyer who delivered me from darkness to blissful parenthood. June 2023 marks the miraculous time in my life were Lance Simon won my sole custody case, restoring peace to my life and safeguarding my precious son. This warrior of justice isn't just a lawyer - he's a remarkable individual. But what inspires me most is the **DEVOTED FATHER HE IS**. I've had the privilege of knowing him and his family, and I'm constantly amazed by the **BRILLIANT, KIND-HEARTED, SHINING STAR CHILDREN** he's raised! I'm beyond proud of the father he is - nurturing, loving, and an exceptional role model. His paternal heart and dedication inspire me almost as much as his legal brilliance. Lance Simon deserves every accolade for restoring my faith in justice and inspiring me with his family's beauty. Eternal thanks, Lance Simon. You forever hold a piece of my heart and my son's future."
