Richard walked me through the sale of my home last week (10/2013). He was highly recommended to me…read moreby someone whom I trust, however I was still anxious about how things would go since I have used "highly recommended" lawyers in the past who did very little work and offered the following advice, "tell me what you'd like to do," and when I asked for their thoughts/input/guidance all I got was, "it's your call." My transaction was riddled with difficulties on the seller's end (bizarro demands for "upgrades" despite the "as is" contract they signed) and Richard really kept me calm. He knew exactly how to handle things, worked really well with the seller's attorney and kept me posted every step of the way. I also was able to get exactly what was agreed upon initially (despite the insane upgrade requests) without having to kill the deal- which I had little hope for, but Richard reassured me would work out. There were no hidden or extra fees (and I thought his fees were very reasonable). Also, I asked for him to quote me a maximum, because I just wanted an idea of worst case scenario...and all his scenarios and fees made sense and he stuck to them. I called him a lot and he was always there to talk to me, personally. Yes,you read correctly: personally. I'm still shocked at how much attention I got. He's a great mix of intelligent and down-to-earth. I will definitely use him moving forward and feel more confident about pursuing property interests knowing I can turn to him. NOTE: I would not describe myself as easy to please. I do not suffer fools kindly, and my expectations are high. I also am an Italian(American) woman from NJ - so rave reviews do not exactly come pouring out of me without ample merit.

Working with Richard and his team was such a positive experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was…read moreoverwhelmed and unsure what the process entailed, but they made it stress-free and seamless. They walked me through each step of the process with patience and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Richard and Maria are both very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, organized, efficient, and responsive. I highly recommend working with them!

An attorney needs to let you know if your case is worth pursuing, in accordance with your goals:…read more I hired this attorney based on great reviews, having spoken to several. I was made to believe by Mr. Lamont, as with all of the attorneys, that I had an excellent case. A contractor said he would do certain work, I paid him, and he simply did not do it, and walked with the money. The Lamont staff seemed pleasant, he seemed articulate, but I was made to believe by Mr. Lamont that the approach suggested by the other attorneys I had consulted, starting by sending "lawyer letters" to the party I was having trouble with, was a waste of money. Mr. Lamont was going to immediately serve the other party with papers so he would have no time to cover his tracks, so to speak. This approach would be more costly initially, I was told, but far more effective. I beleived him and retained his services. Two years later or so, the other party had successfully hired several lawyers who easily deflected and deferred any sort of settlement. Finally, it appeared to be time to go to court, or arbitration. At this point, Mr . Lamont made it clear that my chances of proving damages at any level were poor, that I would have to hire experts at a great cost, and likely would not get much of a settlement. He told me that all of my costs would essentially cost as much as I was likely to collect or more. I asked if my chances of collecting ANY money beyond costs had been just as clear at the outset, BEFORE he had collected his retainer and more several times. When pressed , he said that this outcome was indeed predictable. So I asked why he did not make this clear at the outset, and he offered that many people do not go into these lawsuits for money, but more to make their point, for the sake of principle. I asked if he had inquired of me at the outset if my goal was to reclaim money that had been taken for services not provided , or to make a point out of principle. No answer here. Of course, I had come to him to reclaim lost money, not to defend a principle. Based on information shared at this point, two years into the legal action, apparently no money to be reclaimed, I was forced to settle for enough money to make up what I had paid Mr. Lamont for two years of my wasted effort and time, plus less than 10% of my actual losses. AND for that privilege, I had to sign an agreement holding the other party harmless and stating that I could not so much as give the other party a negative online review for walking away with a LOT of money. So now others will be taken advantage of by the contractor involved, and I cannot help them. If you want to pay for an attorney and have a similar result, stay in a case for years, providing documentation, etc. only to be told your case is not worth the money you have lost, this would be the man to hire. If you want an honest assessment of your case up front, and to be told that perhaps your case will end up costing more than it is worth BEFORE you pay the attorney (him) for several years, Mr. Lamont, in my experience, might not be an excellent choice. I think he is smart, but I think that this disclosure up front would have been not only appropriate and even critical, but absolutely ethically warranted. And it did not happen.

Mr. Dillon is a Worker's Compensation Attorney, who specializes in Workers Compensation cases in…read moreRamsey, New Jersey. I can't recommend Mr. Dillon enough. He's absolutely wonderful as a lawyer and as a person. My father had a serious accident on the job and the worker's compensation insurance company illegally denied my father's claim. Due to the severity of my father's injury, they knew it would cost them millions to provide my father's care, so they denied my father's claim illegally to see if we'd simply go away. (They sent a letter of denial without a reason - which is illegal) Basically, some people receive that denial letter, give up on their claim not knowing they're being defrauded and go away (and most likely become financially ruined). Even though this is illegal, it makes sense for the insurance company to do this, because it saves them a ton of money and if all goes well, they can get away Scott free. My father was in the ICU fighting for his life when we got this denial letter, so you can imagine mine and my mother's despair. I knew the profit-driven American Healthcare System was broken, but I didn't know just how dirty the insurance companies play until I had to deal with them. A family friend, who is also a client of Mr Dillon, had recommended him to me and I don't think I could have chosen a better lawyer. The minute he saw that letter he told me it was illegal and took the case. Even with the best worker's comp lawyer on the case, the insurance dragged my family through the mud the next year and a half fighting every penny. During this ordeal, Mr. Dillon helped my family deal with our situation both legally and mentally, which I (and my parents) will be forever grateful. And yes, we won the case. The judge even punished the insurance company for that illegal letter they sent us. (granted their punishment was just a slap on the wrist, but by writing this review I hope people will know that a denial letter isn't the end of the world) Not only is Mr. Dillon a great lawyer, he's compassionate and caring towards his clients. If you need a workers comp lawyer, definitely call Mr. Dillon.
