Excellent Attorney

Kevin is very detail oriented and always follows up. He is very thourogh and always makes sure to explain the plan of action in detail so I can make an informed decision. I highly recommend Kevin for all of your legal matters.

Impossible to contact again...

You can never get this attorney on the phone. All you get is a recorded message. Spoke once to the attorney, and when I was ready to hire, all my phone messages were never answered, I called several times and was ignored. I even tried to contact him here with no response. It was just an L/T matter. N...eedless to say, this is unprofessional behavior. There's nothing worse than being unable to contact your attorney if you do retain one. My friend also needed an L/T attorney and I recommended him as his fees were reasonable and he seemed very competent when I did speak with him, but his office never contacted her either after leaving a message.

I was never hired by this individual and we never had an in person consultation. We spoke one time on the phone at which time she was not ready to hire a lawyer. When she called back weeks later I had taken on other cases in the interim and was no longer available to devote my full attention to her case which was explained to her the same day she called. While I am not obligated to call anyone who is not a client back, I always make it a priority to call anyone who leaves a message back whether they are a client or not within 24 hours. Further, while I appreciate the referral her friend was called back on the same day after 5:00 pm as requested and my call went unanswered.

VERY IMPRESSED

I was very impressed with this lawyer. He was very forthcoming with me from day one which was a breath of fresh air. His guidance helped me avoid making the decision to accept offers made by the defendant’s lawyers to settle my personal injury case which were well below my ultimate recovery. When ...you hire a lawyer to represent your interests you want to feel you can trust their advice 100% and I luckily found this lawyer who was able to instill that trust in me.

WAS OUTSTANDING FOR ME

I originally hired a large Manhattan law firm to handle my personal injury case because I am one of those people that thought the bigger the law firm the better they must be but this concept did not prove to be true for me. Specifically, after the initial consultation whereat I met with one of the p...artners at the firm who made me feel like he would be handling my case and he would be giving it his utmost attention I quickly came to realize this was nothing but a sales pitch as I could never get in touch with him again and was always communicating through other staff members who did not know me by name and had no clue about my case. This left me feeling like I was no longer a person to them but rather just a number in their records of files and as a result I terminated their services and sought out other representation. I found Mr. Abruzzese online and during the initial consultation and after explaining to him my experience with the prior law firm he assured me that I would not be made to feel that way if I hired him because he is personally involved in every aspect of his cases and returns everyone’s phone call within 24 hours. With this I decided to give him a shot and Mr. Abruzzese did not disappoint. He produced a very favorable outcome and throughout the case I always felt like a valued client which was exactly what I was looking for from the law firm that represented me.

Very Happy Client

I don’t usually write reviews for anyone or anything but I felt it was necessary to make my experience with Attorney Abruzzese public because it was such a positive one for me. I came to Attorney Abruzzese during a very difficult time in my life as my marriage was unable to be saved and a divorc...e was necessary. Prior to consulting with Attorney Abruzzese I felt helpless and scared of having to go through the court system as my ex-husband had become my number one enemy and every issue was contested. However, after consulting with Attorney Abruzzese I immediately felt a sense of calmness and relief. Attorney Abruzzese treated me as one could expect to be treated by a very good friend and he always took the time to make sure I understood the law as it applied to the issues in my case no matter how long that would be. While I don’t believe anyone is a winner at the conclusion of a divorce case I was 100% satisfied with the final outcome and felt as close to being a winner that I think one could feel and for that I am forever grateful to this Attorney. Thank you again Attorney Abruzzese.
