A lawyer who really cares

Ms. Mykyta worked on my case in both Queens and Manhattan counties. She referred me to an out of state law partner who was able to research Philadelphia court records on my behalf. Mr. Mykyta walked me through the entire process of receiving my grandparents financial assets and distributing those fu...nds appropriately among family members. Ms. Mykyata facilitated communicating with an incarcerated family member until all barriers were removed. I trust her legal knowledge and patients when dealing with my case.

Knowledgeable and fair

I had a specific estate problem regarding a very valuable property that was difficult to deal with because I live outside of the state of New York. I had called numerous attorneys looking for initial advice and all wanted a monstrous retainer to even speak with me. Irena took the time to return a voi...ce message that I left for her and told me very honestly that my situation based on its location was not something she would handle. But she took an extraordinary amount of time to direct me in the right direction, what I should look for in an attorney and she sent me a database of attorneys on Long Island to contact. This was quite above and beyond the call of duty. She never asked for a retainer or for any monetary compensation for the hour of time that you gave me. In this day and age I find that unbelievably refreshing and realize that she is motivated by problem resolution and not greed. If I had a specific problem that she could handle I would never hesitate to call her.
