ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST IN NEW YORK STATE

I had Seth work on a case for me last year. I have to say he is one the most knowledgeable and efficient Attorneys I have ever worked with.

Counsel For Eviction of Persons in my Queens, NY house

I have just submitted my retainer agreement to Seth. Even prior to formally contracting his counsel, Seth had already done amazing work with research into my issue in addition to sending emails to a specific party on my behalf and has kept me abreast promptly, despite his legal case load. It is as if... he has already earned a goodly portion of my retainer even before we formally contracted. I was unable to select Eviction in a subsequent step asking me what type of cae this lawyer handled, hence I selected Landlord/Tenant, despite the fact that the party/parties I want evicted never had a rental lease or any legal agreement with me. In short, even though Seth is about to initiate legal proceedings on my behalf, I am certain he will prevail. Anyone who reads this should research his excellent credentials on the Internet as I have.

Custody case

Seth was wonderful I called him a few days before my court date he gave me a free consultation and great price that no one else could beat. He answered all my question and was always avalible when I would text all call to answer concerns that I had. All in All everything went in my favor and I have n...o complaints I will definetly use him again :)

Knows the courts

Seth Schraier knows his way around the courts. I was impressed that he not only knew the judge/mediator for my case, he also knew the attorney representing the petitioner against me. He was able to give me a pretty accurate scenario for the worst case and what I could expect for the best possible o...utcome for me. He educated me and I left the FREE 1 HOUR CONSULTATION, feeling very well informed.

Smh

Very unorganized and unprofessional, not very knowledgeable and is too busy running from borough to borough to be present in court then has a very vulgar attitude and doesn't show any type of empathy and lacks compassion, communication or concern for clients. Definitely not worth the headache or yea...rs in court to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
