Review
This year I needed the services of Michael Spano and he was quick to respond. He has the communication skills and the perseverance to complete the work necessary and drive it to a successful conclusion. In both situations, I was pleased with the results of his work and the decisions of the court. Michael understands that he not only works with people, but for them and his actions influences their lives. That said, I would highly recommend him without hesitation!

He answers all my questions, was always super responsive and gave me excellent help and advice through out the entire process(I had George for 2 cases with in the same year DWI/DRUG COURT). George was able to get me fair sentence and I could not be more happier with his service!!! Would recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend Steve to anyone!! He handled my case quickly and professionally and was always available right on the spot or would get back to me quickly. I always felt like he cared about me and didn't just look at me as another client. Definitely worth the call!
Review
Our family faced a difficult time and needed a lawyer. We were so pleased with the service that Steve provided. He was always able to answer our questions timely via phone and email, always presented knowledgeable options and most of all, always supported what we felt was best for our family. It was a pleasure to work with Steve. His professionalism and expertise really did help us win exactly what we wanted! My family and I would not hesitate to give Steve our highest recommendation. If we ever needed a lawyer again, we know he's who we would call!
Review
First of all, if you are reading reviews on lawyers, then my heart goes out to you because it's always a difficult time if your looking for someone to represent you! That was us, for years, in and out of court for reasons we still think are ridiculous. My husband and I have worked with many lawyers, but with confidence we can say that Steve was the absolute best we have ever met and worked with! Our journey with lawyers, before we met Steve, had many frustrations. It was so annoying to feel like a bother to our other lawyers! We were being unjustly dragged through the system and the lawyers we were paying to represent us just wanted us to settle so they had less work! We were feeling defeated and decided to find someone new to represent us. It was truly a blessing to meet and work with Steve. From the moment we met him, we knew he was different. He actually took the time to listen to us, cared about our feelings and asked how we wanted to handle the situation. He actually listened and supported us fully along the way. He always got back to us in a timely manor, always kept us current of what was happening and helped us secure the exact outcome we hoped for and wanted. It was amazing how much of a burden was lifted from us when we had a lawyer that actually was doing his job with integrity. We can't thank Steve enough for his help and support during the past troubling months! We know that if we ever needed another lawyer, than we would choose Steve! We give Steve the highest recommendation!
Review
I wrote the review below about two years ago. I feel it now appropriate to update my review. Everything I said before stands just as true today as it did two years ago. In fact, Mr. Buitron has continued to represent me in and out of court these past two years. His performance has remained beyond reproach. To reiterate, his pleasant, calm demeanor makes every interaction with the court or other attorneys an absolute delight! And, yes, we were victorious in every proceeding, just as before! This past spring, Mr. Buitron was principally responsible for having the county court overturn a mistaken felony conviction. The record was expunged and sealed! In fact, without going into detail, this was the first time in over 20 years that a conviction of this sort was vacated! The court proceeding took under ten minutes and the judge didn't hesitate for even a moment to overturn the conviction. So, once again, if you need a forthright, honest, hard working attorney, Mr. Buitron is the attorney to counsel and represent you. Mr. Buitron has been my attorney since August, 2012. He has counselled me and aided me with several legal issues and has represented me with a variety of government agencies as well as in Court. At all times, Mr. Buitron was well informed of the law, well prepared, and well spoken as my representative both in and out of Court. His manner is one of genuine concern and compassion. He always had a "handle" on the situation and readily anticipated apposing counsels' arguments. My favorite anecdote is one in which I asked him, after yet another victory, why we kept winning. His soft spoken response was simply "Because we're right!". In fact, while we may have been "right", I think all our successes, and we were always victorious, were attributable to his honest, humble, hardworking, inciteful approach to the law. If you need a man who will be straight with you and tell you like it is, while working diligently on your behalf, Mr. Buitron is the attorney to choose.
Review
Steve Buitron has represented me in multiple family court proceedings as well as a separate civil matter. Not only had he always successfully worked each case to get me the most beneficial outcomes (often times, exactly what I was looking for), but the thing that has always stood out to me most when working with him is the way he treats his clients. I’ve had experiences with other lawyers who are very crass, and treat their clients with such disrespect, as if their only concern was getting their money and getting them out the door. Steve always takes the time to listen to your concerns, answering any questions you have and working to ensure he understands everything necessary for each case. He is very friendly and respectful. Steve has made what are usually very difficult and stressful times much easier. He truly cares about what he does, and who he works with. I would (and do) recommend him to any one in need of representation.

Seth and his team have always been my go to. Between his professional and prompt attitude and his ability to handle most cases via email or remotely without my presence. I couldn’t recommend anything better in terms of legal service.
Review
I received a speeding violation back in December 2020 and is now dismissed. Seth Azria and firm has done an excellent job in getting the ticket dismissed successfully. The entire staff has been very professional, quick and responsive. I really appreciate their service and give them a 5 star. I would be happy to refer them to my friends. Thanks
Review
These lawyers are the best Was up against a judge who hated the company I work for so I know I was not going to get a fair judgment on my behalf So called these guys and they fought for me 5 Star Service Top notch lawyer will be using them again
Review
Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state. The speeding ticket had no information and the city's documentation was too complicated and obscure for us to comprehend. Our case was concluded very much to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.
Review
I was stopped by a NY state trooper for speeding on my way back to Canada right before the border crossing on I-81 in Mar. 2020. (Please be mindful about the signs of reducing speed. I didn't slow down quick enough). It was the first time I was stopped by a cop and I had no idea what I should do about this ticket. I searched on Google and decided to contact Mr. Azria. He was very nice to talk to and clarified all the questions I had regarding the ticket. In the end I did the online traffic safety training by Jefferson County. Mr. Azria helped me organize my correspondence with the DA and the court all the way through. I was quite fortunate to find him to fight the ticket for me. He and his assistant was very professional and knowledgeable. My charge was reduced to "failed to signal" and 2 points deduction. I appreciate the advice and help from Mr. Azria.

Information: As a social justice advocate I believe that it’s critical that predators working as parole officers are exposed for who they are…. Parole officers are not suppose to address a parolee family members by anything other than Mr. or Mrs. They are not suppose to go to a parolee home and stay there talk about their personal lives and attempt to sleep with the parent, walk in the home before the parent could say no, tell the parent that they want to hangout with them and want them to call when they need anything. There job is to supervise the parolee, not the parent, nothing personal, making the parent feel unsafe, making her feel like she has to go along with something so nothing happens to her or her child behind her rejecting his advances. It is my responsibility to call out on the predator because he is not the only one that continue to do what he does. I will personally be assisting the mother to pursue whatever action she deems fit at this point in time. Justice will be served on the officer who I am unable to name at this time. No parole officer has the right to use his power and authority to get his personal needs met! This predator use his position as a way to manipulate and predatorize a mother and when he couldn’t get what he wanted, he proceeded to contact his supervisor to inform them that he was feeling a little uncomfortable with some of the personal information that the mother was sharing, however, he was sharing information about his life and his daughter and telling her where he think she should relocate to as a way to get her to trust him and to sleep with him, He was unethical and certainly unprofessional and now all of a sudden he is feeling uncomfortable? No he was manipulative, dishonest, cunning and deceitful and made her fear for her safety because of his position as a parole officer.

I'm from PA, was stopped for speeding in NY State. The Officers' ran my information and on return informed me my driving privilege's were suspended in NYS from a 1993 incident. Had no clue I was suspended in NY, in 1993 I had a 90 day suspension. Turns out NYS DVM requires a $25 fee to re-instate your driving privilege's before a suspension is lifted. This was just a little something the DMV and State forgot to mention. I was charged with speeding and driving under suspension. I contacted the James Riotto Law Office to represent me, they were wonderful. I did not need to appear in any court or hearing as they appeared for me and residing 2 hours away in PA, that was worth the Attorney's fee. When it was all settled and finished, I agreed to pay $250 for a Defensive Driving course and all charges were dismissed. In total it cost me around $750, considering I was facing thousands of dollars in fines, points on my license, increased insurance premiums and a misdemeanor charge, the Riotto Law Firm did an excellent job. They kept me well informed throughout the process and fought for me without being present. I would highly recommend the James Riotto Law Firm.

Mr. Annechino is an excellent attorney. Super responsive and very knowledgeable. I feel way better about my court matter since retaining John.
Review
This attorney (crook) took money for services from my father and never rendered services hired for. After 4 years of being non responsive to calls he tried to bill my father a second time for services he was already charged for? Stating “he would knock a couple hundred off this time” not accounting for what he failed to do the first time. In turn this has caused further loss to my father. In my opinion elder abuse.
Review
He lied about everything, kept wanting more and more money..just a horrible experience.Sent some other lawyer to represent himself in court and the replacement did nothing but dance around, even the judge was appalled by his actions.. Yes you do know me..I still have all the paper work and text from you.

John represented me in my divorce. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was always available when I had questions or needed to talk. He helped me through a very difficult time and would highly recommend him.

Gregory Garofal is a wonderful lawyer. He really knows his stuff and gets great deals in court. He is always there to respond to you and takes his time to explain everything very well. Got the ticket dropped down to barely nothing. What a great guy! Would definitely go back to him if ever needed again. He would be my first choice.
Review
Mr. Garofalo did a such superb job for me. I am grateful that I found him and enlisted his services. Greg is professional - he communicated and updated me all along the way. Options were clearly presented and I was always in the loop. Essentially, he made my life so much much easier while navigating and successfully resolving this legal issue. Thanks Greg!

Greg was fantastic! He is extremely professional, provides necessary updates and really takes initiative throughout the process. He will work to get you the best possible outcome and is very reasonably priced! I would highly recommend his services!
Review
What a great lawyer Gregory Garofal is. He got the speeding ticket dropped down to a non-moving violation with no points and just a small fine. He did all of the court stuff and always kept me updated. He made it easy to go through the process of getting a speeding ticket. I never had to attend court and insurance did not go up. He does a great job and really is very knowledgeable. He will go the extra mile for you for a low fee. I will always go to him if I get a ticket or have a problem.
Review
I highly recommend Greg Garofalo if you get pulled over and receive a ticket. Mr. Garofalo helped me out with a traffic ticket that nobody wants. I knew navigating the court system is a huge hassle and stressful so having Greg handle the court process took the burden off me. It’s much better to have Greg inform you on updates with your case than having to talk to a court clerk, trust me on that. In the end Greg negotiated the best plea bargain for a ticket that I have ever gotten before. I was thrilled when he mailed me paperwork for a 0 point reduction. If you get pulled over talk to Greg Garofalo, he is affordable and he takes flexible payment options which I thought was a huge plus.
